I'll go with dudette. Ma'am just implicates old age for some ladies out there. I doubt silver snail will carry the revoltech turtles. They didn't even carry 24 karat gold ironman statue. You'd probably have to go ti x2 game store to get those. X2 doesn't have the revoltech turtles either. Store owner doesn't sound interested in carrying the turtles in his store.

The chucks fit on both sides of the belt on my Mikey. One side is a bit more snug than the other but they both fit.
You have to put them in from the bottom up, not from the top down. I'm not sure if that makes sense.
Basically push the chain up through the belt, don't try to push the bottom of the chucks down into the belt or it will be a lot harder or won't fit at all.

Maybe that's what those reviewers were doing.

Well it means it's out of stock and they are ordering more and if you order them while they are on back order you'll be one of the first to get them. I guess it's like between preorder and regular orders?

Sometimes they get cancelled, but I hear a lot of success stories about backorders on AmiAmi so.

I've never done it myself, This is just what I hear.

My Donnie and Mikey figures finally arrived! Haven't had the time to toy around with them yet since I had to go to work. But damn, Mikey's nunchucks are cumbersome! They seem to slip off his hands easily.

Now all that's left is for Leonardo #2 to arrive and it's all good!

It is a great figure, and with the 'spinning chuck' disk he comes with, he is the first Mike figure (as far as I know) that can be posed with his weapon looking dynamic rather than just hanging at a weird angle.

1. His eyes can switch from pupils to all-white.
2. Real metal chain.
3. Really cute alternate head.
4. Again, the spinning chuck piece makes for great poses, as does the stand.
5. Aftermarket prices in a few years will be at least $200.
6. In my opinion he is the best Mikey ever released. (sorry NECA!)

You gotta move fast cause they're running out very, very fast. And the price increase will increase very fast too when fast shortages rises very fast. Fast!

So I had some fun doing some quick solo poses...



Looking forward to trying out some group shots and utilizing the stands and alternative heads.

I'm enjoying seeing all the pics, especially the ones that depict scenes from the show!

Call me a hypocrite but I ended up buying raph and Leo for a great price on eBay. I'll report back later on them. These poses are just killer

Revoltech ball joint stress marks

Has anyone had any trouble with the ball joints? I just realized my Mikey's shoulder joint is showing signs of stress and the peg on his right shoulder is starting to come off from the ball joint. These are amazing figures and I don't want to break any of them. Now I must figure out a way to glue the peg back on the ball joint tightly without losing any range of motion and pose-ability before it becomes unattached completely. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Isn't their a shredder coming eventually?

When they say pliers they are referring to the Revo pliers, Google for results.

Got the full set finally. Mikey for me had the most problems. Chucks couldn't be holstered. They drop out of his hands all the time too. And the eyeball articulation on mine was so tight u couldn't do a full white out without using all your strength. Overall though this is an unbelievable set.

I had some debts last month so I wasn't able to pick the first wave and now Leo (my main) and Donnie are sold out ; But I still managed to order Mikey (barely) and Raph yesterday.
Crossing my fingers though, because I haven't received the shipping confirmation yet
