(Which you may not have know but might have been able to infer based on the fact that I said I would post photos.) I'd have to be illiterate to have them sitting in front of me and still not be able to tell what they were.

was not trying to be rude at all but after re reading my comment i could see how you would think that.

I actually like him.
I know right, I was surprised how decent he is out of the box.

I'm a big fan of these figures, but seeing how I've never seen a problem with finding any of them at retail eventually, I would just hold out and wait. He just came out so it'll still be a little bit until he's regular in the stores

It seems they may be uping the ante on Karai Serpent. I was at a local Wal-Mart yesterday and watched as an employee opened a fresh case and was putting the figures on the pegs. Saw her pull a Karai, then a Movie Mikey, and then another Karai from the case, so there were two Karais in this particular case. Of course it could have just been an error.

I hope so. I don't want to spend 4 months hunting for each new figure.

Finally grabbed a Karai. Spotted her at TRU in Washington, PA. They had a nice selection of regular, mutations, and HSH.

Always wished they put 1 piece of an exclusive character in each mutation.

The main Wal-Mart I visit (Hodgkins, Illinois) always seems to stack up cases of new figures in their quasi-stockroom/staging area (TMNT, Star Wars, Transformers, et al) for days, weeks, even months -- drove me crazy during the TF4 toy releases. Anyway, in that spirit, one of the two Basic Figures cases was put out (one more ready on the palette, plus a 16pk Mutations case), and, BlueKatana, bro, long-and-short of it is that I hid the lone Karai Serpent just to the left of the Basics for you or another member here, behind three of the large-size Mutations Dons. I spoke with the toy dept. employee there yesterday, mentioning the "Herman Munster-sized" TMNT POP aisle displays ... "Oh, Arrgh, we got one of dem last year; people taking pictures of it and all." She must have seen me!

In other news (albeit old), last night I finally saw head-dropping Mikey at TRU Gurnee, IL -- Kaman, TRU! Happy hunting! Hungry for Monkey Brains after finally watching the "Mighty Mutanimals" episode!

I saw a Pizza Thrower today and I've gotta say I thought it was really cool. It was at a Target. They didn't have any new figures though.

I bought them about two weeks ago at Toys R Us. I've also seen them at at least one Walmart store since then.
