Dang, I keep missing out. Well, I have it bookmarked, so I'll keep checking every chance I get. It kinda sucks that you can't set it up to e-mail you an alert when it gets restocked, though, so I just have to remember to keep checking the link.

Is this just a re release from previous years or a new product?

It's a re-release in new packaging with the classic logo I want to say.

The new April is definetely better than the previous (absolute garbage IMO) version, but still I wouldn't say it's great, the body proportions still look odd to me (i think the main issue is the torso is too short, particularly the lower torso, also the neck is too long), the face looks too stylized (more like japanese anime than an american cartoon), and seems the figure is still much shorter in stature than it should be (i.e. noticeably too short compared to the Turtles figures and Shredder). But ah well, it'll do I suppose, and at least nobody has to put up with that previous monstrosity anymore.

Never ordered anything from AliExpress before. Anything I should know before I do?

Don't expect the packaging to survive the shipment if you're a MOC.

If you're an opener, you're generally fine.

Hmm, I think I’ll roll the dice. I’m not too picky about packaging.

Man, that Turtle Lair dude was having a complete meltdown on Twitter today. I got kicked out of his Facebook group because he was complaining about another group and I said "No need to slander" ... Turtle Lair dude always posts other people's content and then gets upset when you call him out on it. Now he's gone to calling people terrible things online. Kind of sad as this was a fun resource for TMNT figs.

Also looks like there's a Summer Geek-Out Fest at Target in a few weeks so this stuff should be hitting much more stores soon.

So torn, I want these figures but I guess I'll have to pay more on ebay. I can't shop target due to there child converting ways now. So sad we can't go to stores without them trying to convert you.

Inanimate objects are trying to convert you? The makeup section has been there for years, I'm sure you never felt compelled to buy some and put it on. Then again, maybe you did.

Thank you for the heads up. This is the single one I missed because of my aversion of generic characters/army builders if I am a MOC collector. It's a shame he was not paired with April O'Neil, but after all this time Casey Jones is mine.


There are just 3 left in stock so hurry if you want Casey Jones ladies and gentlemen!

What a random surprise! When I saw your post and followed the link, there were only 4 left in stock, and that number dropped to 2 by the time I got it into my cart. Hopefully my transaction holds and doesn’t get cancelled after the fact!

The first time I posted about the Casey, my order ended up getting cancelled. But the very next day around the same time, they were up again and the order stuck. Should be arriving Tuesday for me. They're on and off again, so if anything happens, just keep checking the link every so often.

Did you complete the purchase? If so then I doubt it! I got one of the four remaining and it's already on the way. It will be delivered by FedEx in 36 hours. It will be on my doorstep by noon on Monday. I got lucky and one of the few is located in the next city over.
