3" Ninja Turtles

[sdp]

I saw (and bought) this 3" ninja turtles, the pack is about 5$ and it includes all 4 turtles, no weapons but they are very cool. Anyone have them? I would hope they'd release more on the back it also shows shredder and a foot soldier drawing, but who knows.


In the same topic, do any of you guys have any ideas on how i could make custom weapons for them?

I believe I have them, they are the old ones but they colored the belt and elbow/knee pads different color along with the skin tones.... They have or are supposed to have fighting gear ones and remodeled one that look like the new figures (those might be the ones u have) but I have not seen them yet (in Canada that is).

If they are the ones I'm thinking of then I also have them. I got mine with the 4 pack of DVDs collecting the beginning of the new series though. I also so see them at CVS and other drug stores all the time in the 4 pack. The singles are sold at dollar stores like Family Dollar and such, and they have released Shredder, Foot Ninja, April and Splinter, but I have yet to see those 4 in a four pack together. They can be a lot harder to find also.

I have yet to see the Fightin' Gear ones, but really haven't looked yet. I don't know if they'll come with weapons, but making weapons shouldn't be too hard if you have a craft store in the area. Might have to carve them out of wood, but they make thin enough wooden sticks that would fit in their hands. Other than that maybe some GI Joe weapons or the dollar store versions of them would work. They have Ninjas too. Good luck.

If you're talking about the mini figures that I think you are(that are closer to 2" I think), the weapons from the TMNT Mega Bloks sets work pretty well for them.

I have a full set of these, including a small army of 4 Foot Soldiers(I've seen more of them too, but don't really need a whole lot more of them). They seem to be pretty common at Family Dollar, but the 4 packs of the turtles are readily available at KB Toys Outlets.

Thanks, i'll check family dollar. I'd love to have some foot soldiers. I hope i can find shredder, april and splinter.

I checked family dollar and found April, (1) foot soldier and Fighting Gear Raphael. I really like them, i'll try to check other family dollars, so i can get Shredder, Splinter, FG Leo, FG Don, FG Mike and at least 3 more foot soldiers :o
I think i saw this ones too with a parachute on, so then i would need to get the 4 ninja turtles with the parachutes. Any one has seen any more diff. ones?

I might get another April and paint her yellow and a second shredder and i might put two arms on it or something. I got a second normal turtle and i'll see if i can make it look like Slash.

as i'll be going to college next year i can't afford/no space for the normal size turtles.


Edit: Are these the same figures that where released in 1996 as Mutaforce?

[BigApple3AM]

sdp, the original 4 turtles are just repaints of the mutaforce turtles. The mutaforce were shinier and made of better plastic I think.

The fighting gears and misc characters are brand new molds. I found all of them at family dollar as well, and actually found some singles of the regular turtles at circuit city. They charged me a penny for each one... lol

Thanks,
today on another DG store i was able to get shredder, splinter, and fighting gear donatello and i bought another april. I am going to try to make a custom job and make her look like original series april, if it is succesful i'll probably try that on a splinter and a foot soldier too.

So i am now only looking for fighting gear Leonardo and FG mike, and if i find more foot soldiers i'll buy them to have an army :D

I'm guessing the triceraton warriors, utroms, foot tech, elite and gunners are not from the 2" (or whatever size) series are they?

I was thinking the same thing, when did they make triceraton 2" figures lol. He must mean the regular sized figures.
