Does anyone have (or have pictures of) those TMNT candy tubes that had the top half of a Turtle as a topper?
I can't find them in stores now and I don't know what they're called, so I haven't been able to track any down on-line.

Are you talking about the new or old ones?

I know what you mean,I remember seeing them in the store but I dont know anywhere on-line they would be but I will look. :D
Are you talking abou the "Giggle Splasher" candy that had either Mike or Raphs head as the top? Or the "Twist Lix" that looked like a large lipstick container and had just that generic TMNT splash wrapped around it? Or something all together different? :)

I'm not sure. I only saw a Mikey one, so that may be the first one you mentioned. I was hoping they had one for each turtle. It was more than their head tho, it was their entire top 1/2 of their body. Mikey's arms were folded in the one I saw.

Yea, I know what your talking about then. Those were the Gumball Machines that I only saw at TRU. They came in a Mike and Raph as well. It had the turtle torso on top with their arms crossed, both looking pretty "mean". They sat on top of globe filled with gumballs, and the whole item looked like a mini gumball machine. Again, they only came in 2 colors/turtles. They were called Gumball Machine Coin Banks. Hope this helps... :)

Is this what you're describing? That's actually something different from what I wanted. The ones I was looking for had the figure topper around the same size as the Playmates figure and it had a slim tube below it.
Yea, i tried to find a pic on eBay as well and came up with that same link. That type of Gumball machine was NOT the one I was describing...i have actually never seen those ones that are on ebay..and as far as your description of the same size as the figs and the slim tube, I really cant help you there...sorry

This is out of my Raph collection. This is the gumball machine topper, the cheap one.
I wish they made a nice one like the Mikey machine...with Raph instead.

I hit TRU today and they had one left! It was a gumball machine. I thought it was something else for some reason.
The gum's good, too.
Yea, that was exactly what i was talking about....glad you were able to find it! :)

I have the Mikey one! It sits on my dresser filled with about a pound of gumballs. It's a pretty sweet machine, but sometimes the coins get stuck in the gumball displacement part and it's a pain to get the gumballs out. It's still a sweet collectable. Wal-Mart sold it for under $20 if anyone is looking.
