Not a problem at all, Skabbz!

Here are some other pics, while we're at it...









Pretty damn cool stuff. Weird that it's not out in the US, yet. It's been out here in Canada for some time now.

They're about as much as the figures... Seven bucks and change, or so, before taxes.

Wow that's so old school! It reminds me of when they used to sell ooze with the mini baby turtle/rat/half mutated turtle! I hope they release it over here in the good ol' U.S. of A.

I wonder why Dan Berger doens't have any of it on the site/in his collection? Is it made by playmates?

These sell for a maximum of $8AU here in Aus which unlike you dudes in Canada, it's about half the price of a normal figure. I can get them for around $6AU when stores have sales.

The current exchange rate is $1AUD= 0.686870USD

So they're between $4 to $5.50 USD a can.

Here's the stock and assortment numbers for anyone who wants them:

Asst: #54250
Stock#: 54252

Also, just wondering if you Canadian's have noticed that the ooze in these cans is a lot more slimey than the stuff out of the figure packs.

I don't know if you can notice in my pics but the ooze from the mini figs is a lot lighter than the ooze from the larger figures.

Would anyone be interested in helping me obtain these Ooze cans? I'd prefer to find someone a little closer to the US, like in Canada. Shipping would also be more economical this way. I have a bunch of Turtle stuff to trade if anyone is interested.

Well, considering turtles under 4 inches in size are illegal to have in NY, I need one of those.

No problem on my end, Tokka. Hey look, my name and hand on the front page of Mikey's TMNT! I'm, like, Ninja Turtle Internet Famous now! (Take that, hand twin!)

The ooze is definitely made by Playmates, by the way. Little logo on the canister and everything. Weird that a Playmates rep hasn't even heard of the stuff, and weirder yet that they're not selling it in the US, of all places.

I'd always thought the ooze was one of the coolest bits of merchandising from the old toy line... I mean, the figures and vehicles are cool, but an actual can of the ooze that mutated the TMNT? What a great idea! I remember playing with the stuff on the kitchen floor when I was a tot. My mum made me play with it on a cooking sheet, so I wouldn't make a mess. Covering Mikey in ooze and having him mutate back into a little off-white glow in the dark turtle? Good times, my friends.

So naturally, when I saw a can of the stuff, my head was filled with tingly nostalgia goodness and I had to have it.

Initially, I figured there would just be one of the standard mini-figures inside, but the baby turtles were a pleasant surprise. I'm sorely tempted to go grab the Donny and Mikey canisters, just to complete the four. I only picked up the Raph canister because I had managed to drop the Leo ooze at school and ruin it (all full of hair and little rocks from the lecture theatre carpet, ecch), but now I've only got two of the baby TMNT and that's just not right at all, now is it?

Anyway, if you've got the means to pick some of this stuff up, I highly recommend it. It's surprisingly fun to just goosh the stuff between your fingers.
