TMNT 2017 Action Figures

For the entire year, I have hunted, hunted, and hunted some more. And hunted again later that night. And then hunted online. I've been in 5 states so far this year, 4 in the past two months, and in each one, again, I hunt.

I have seen THREE total Muckmen in the wild, all 3 of which I bought. 1 for my TMNT collecting friend, 1 for myself to open, and 1 for my carded doubles that I keep.

I have seen ZERO plain Usagis. My friend got me the 1 I have for opener. It's the only one of TWO he's seen, and he's the only person I know who hunts close to how much I do. I still want my carded double of him, too, and I have found 2-3+ of even the rarest repaints (Baxter, Mutagen Man are rarest from my sightings), plenty of Samurais & horses incl. Sam/Horse Usagi, and still ZERO plain Usagis.

There's no way that Playmates only made that many figures, that I will only ever see that few of these with the amount of hunting I do. They're just stuck in the warehouse waiting to be pushed out in waves like all the figures before them, Karai included. It was 6 months before I saw Karai in my local neck of the woods after everyone else was finding them in stores on the coasts. So long that I actually did pay a $28 price to get my first one, I did not have the patience then. But I see Karai everywhere now.

I do think there will be fewer made, because of the line winding down, it's just common sense. But I do think there are more waiting to come. The repaint push was to raise more money on existing sculpts. That funds all the current fireworks. The Samurai push, and the upcoming monsters push. Sprinkled in with all of that has already been some re-issues of old figures, even of the purple carded Stealth Techs. And sprinkled in with stuff yet to come, I say with fair confidence, will be more Muckmen and Usagis.

So, in other words, I know it's hard to sit without one, and I'm freakin' out daily too about the carded Usagi I need to find some day -- but patience, patience, patience. The fat lady has not sung yet.

That's weird, because I saw Usagis in every Target I went to.

But I agree with waiting. I paid $20 for Mondo, and then he was $6 on Amazon 3 months later.

Also, check online retailers consistently, and maybe email Amazon to see if and when he gets restocked.

I swept through the nearest metro one evening on a hot tip that the Samurais and repaints had just landed. I hit every single Target there, which is 8 of them. I found all the samurai turtles abundant, and was able to piece together two entire sets of the Target-first repaints, too. The repaints were plentiful enough, though spread out and slightly picked over. Usagi was nowhere. Maybe you bought them all a couple hours earlier, lulz.

Then I went back to one of them a week later -- the one I cleaned the most figures out of -- it had triggered another case put out on the pegs but again no Usagi.

I remember waiting quite awhile for Mondo, Napoleon, Atilla, etc, to show up here. So long that I imported from UK for a not-too-bad price-up. Thought maybe I had missed em stateside, I had been out of the game a bit. Then they showed up everywhere here.

I've only seen 2 Muckmans and 1 regular Usagi. I picked up the Usagi for someone on here. I'm regretting not buying those Muckmans when I had the chance. I saw a Samurai Usagi today if anyone needs it.

Only reason I'm leery is because I've never seen a wave move on to the next without at least seeing all the previous wave's figures in the wild first. Haven't seen a Crimson Leader either. Little less worried about collecting that one though.

So what other figures were in this wave with muckman?

Kick boxer Don and Raph and purple box Stealth Tech Raphael for starters.

My main Target store close to me has figures in the back, but everytime I try to get some help in getting them from the back the associate plays stupid on me. The pegs have one figure each on them and they won't put out anymore.

I actually don't think Ninja Strike Don was part of this packing. I have not been seeing him at any Targets alongside Muck, I've been finding him elsewhere...Walmart I believe mainly. You're right about Ninja Kick Raph and the Stealth Tech reissue though, those were both alongside the 3 Mucks I found at 3 Targets.

I think Target got a couple special cases so far this year -- the one with Muck and the Samurai/Usagi/Repaints. Anybody find Muck somewhere other than Target? Maybe he and Crimson Leader are timed Target exclusives and nobody bothered to make that obvious to us. Also, heck, maybe all of Targets cases are special for them. They always seem to have slightly different assortments than everyone else lately.

Sad we never got this. And the animal 3 pack would have been cool too.

[ColinStein]

All those characters without figures hurts. Especially butt guns.

[Powder]

Soooo we're not gonna get that God-damned Usagi Half-Shell Hero, huh? Knew it.

Gdmf.... today has irked cant believe we ain't getting some of those figs

[Powder]

I've come to terms with just about everything else (barring how impossible it is to get Muckman) but I was REALLY looking forward to that Usagi HSH. & Jei, who I'm sure we can now confirm is cancelled. F**k. Playmates, y'all some jerks.

Yeah sucks. I think HSH has been dead for a few months. They never even finished the Safari line.

I was really hoping the HSH cartoon would blossom into its own series.
Guess we'll see what Rise looks like in Feb.

My ass still ain't ever seen Armaggon.

[3Jane]

Why the hell did they produce all those dumb Beavers, Squirrel-oids and Kirby Bats bt can't get more Usagis and Muckmans done?

[Candy Kappa]

No Savanti Romero hurts me deeply.

[Danetello]

All I ask is that Muckman gets more distribution before the series ends. I refuse to pay scalpers $100+ on eBay.

Especially since he's name-dropped on the cardbacks for the Monster line! Seriously, they could have easily included him.

I really, REALLY wish we got Jei, Savanti, and Mona. I at least hope they are at least in Rise, and we get cool figures of them then.

[darthwahl56]

I kind of wished since they had made the mirage comic turtles in 2014, that they would have made the 80's turtles, especially since they showed up in this series.

I liked what was made in the line, I just wish they would have made most of the monsters and aliens from the show. The various cancellations on ones that could have come out is annoying. Also, almost no vehicles for the baddies, what's up with that?!

In the deluxe line-up they could have made some of them bad guys to take care of the variety of characters and scaling issues of the bigger bad guys.

Also, not making Kavaxas (Hothead), that was voiced by Mark Hamill on the show and was based on one of the 90's figures, is really lame.

What really sucks is the fact that Jei even showed up at UK ToyFair.
