Just wondering, here in Australia we were flooded with literally thousands of old skool Mutating Donatello's in Japanese packaging and I was wondering if they made it to other countries too?
These aren't knok off's they are 100% authentic playmates figures but can only just be distinguished from the originals. These Japanese ones have a mould defect on one foot and which is why they weren't sold back in the mid 90's in Japan. They have all their original weapons and even a neat little Japanese catalouge for the toys released that year. These are still available by the boxfull but I don't know how much longer they will be around.
If they aren't available in the US I can pick up a few and trade em for stuff not abundant here in Australia. I am looking for Triceratons ecspecially. They seem more available there in the States than over here.
These have also been popping up on Aus ebay for months now so I can give you a link to what one looks like.

The front and sides of the packaging are in english but the back panel is Japanese with the Japanese TMNT logo.
