Garbageman toy good idea?bad idea?

[STEPP]

I think it would be cool if they made a Garbageman toy complete with his garbage truck!And maybe some off those scratch n sniff stickers on it with a stink kinda like that one He-man figure(Stinkor was his name?)What do ya think?

[Damien Kash]

Yes yes yes!!
I know some people hate him(for some reason),but i want a garbageman figure
The idea of him with a truck sounds even better!
So yeah.......they need to make him!!! I have been thinking of making a custom gbman if they don't.... :D

[OA]

I'd love for PM to make him...i really like secondary characters like him...but. if I had a choice, I would rather they use their resource for other characters (i.e. more Purple Dragons, Federation soliders, etc.)

Garbage Man should've been made awhile ago. I thought he would be a great figure, and was dissapointed he wasn't made. If he is an a future episode, then he should definately be made. We have Dr. Malignus, but he was only in 1 episode. I assume Playmates just doesn't want that hard work with all the details and gadgets, that Garbage Man would need for a figure.

I always thought a little set like the SWAT Attack Pack would be good, instead of Raph and the bike you could have the Garbageman and his little cart with arms from the season one episode. Instead of the Foot Tech Gunner you could have a Garbagetrooper or the other garbage guys who work for Garbageman.

Playmates should make more of these kind of sets for collectors. I was hoping more collector stuff would appear in the "Get Green" program, but that program seems to have fallen by the wayside.

Whats the Get Green"program?

As far as I know it was sort of collect points and send away for TMNT stuff. Like a basic 5" figure would maybe have gotten you one point (like the old toon figures had little shell points on their cards), and for a vehicle maybe a few points more. Then you redeem them for something in a catalogue. It was mentioned a few months back but I've never heard anything about it since it was first talked about.

I'll try look for the official word on it and edit this post to include it...

EDIT: Found it :D

These quotes are both from 23rd of February:

I had read about those too but they completely slipped my mind. Apparently we'll be able to clip and send off UPC codes for stuff. I don't know what type of stuff, but exclusive figs would definitely be nice...though unlikely.

I believe this is in reference to the press release from Playmates just before the start of Toy Fair. It sounds as though they are going to start adding points to the back of products that can be saved and redeemed for exclusives. This could be cool and quite reasonable given that they already did more or less the same thing with the last half dozen waves of Simpsons figures. I just hope they offer items that were as cool as those offered to Simpson fans.
