I came across this Double Pack thing today in Tesco, it's the Strata Slicer with free Robo Hunter Leo attached to the side of the box. Leo's card is stuck to the side of the pack with glue and sellotape, and he comes with no accessories and much smaller packaging. Here's two pics:

They only had the Strata Slicer and they all came with Robo Hunter Leo attached so I don't know if the others are available. Has anyone seen this before?

It's cool that it comes with a figure to play with (kinda makes for the perfect child's Xmas gift) but I haven't seen them up here in Canada...

It is truly unique though. Sadly, even if I bought it, I would have to buy the figure with it's accessories.

Now if the set came with the accessories it would definately be an amazing find that I would want!

<Playmates bashing> Yeah, they probably realized that, considering the quality of their figures, they should just give them away...</Playmates bashing>

Seriously though, this is cool, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see this again. Like the thing with the DVDs, you know? It would also be nice if they would release the figures packaged like this for Dollar stores to sell for $3.00 a piece-- some of us who have more than plenty of weapons would probably go for that. Also would be nice for those of us who wanna buy gifts for our friends who like TMNT, but don't have a lot of money.

Nice find Jed. It's weird but cool. A lot of foreign countries did this with the vintage line. Usually attaching a bare figure to a boxed items with shrinkwrap or tape. Very interesting, it comes on it's own little card. I wonder why Playmates is only making these items for the foreign market? I would like to find some here in the states.
