Neca/Target Haulathon April 11th
 
Since there is a bunch of TMNT stuff figured one thread would be easier

Who is that next to Tattoo? Is that supposed to be Wyrm?

yes it is you are correct

ToTheNines 03-24-2025 02:43 PM

So like, what exactly is haulathon?

The only thing I might be interested here is battle damaged Shredder.

Haul-A-Thon is a sales pitch, dude. It's the same thing as when we were kids and Carson Pirie Scott sent out a catalog to our moms for the Summer sale. The only difference is that a marketing MBA who works for Target said "let's brand it as a convention event as cover for the sale and they'll eat it up and not know the difference". That's the reality. It's a retail sales event whereby the retailer hopes that most consumers will think it actually has something to do with "social fandom" to be involved with like a convention.

Oh for f's sake. My point exactly - talk about dressing up a pig.

On that note, I'm happy to say that the only thing here I'd be interested in is maybe the Shredder, but only if he's a little taller and better scale than the original release. If not, I'm not double dipping anymore.

IndigoErth 03-24-2025 05:46 PM

Me who will probably look to see if the Mirage Leo showed up and probably won't find him as usual.

Wouldn't mind that 4 pack though, even if the cost of those packs are generally more than I can justify spending.

Autbot_Benz 03-24-2025 05:52 PM

All I want is Pee Wee Herman and thankfully he isn't exclusive to Target so if I miss him at Haul-A-Thon I can get him later

He is...there is a review on youtube..go look

DonnieLaForge 03-25-2025 08:02 AM

For me:
Both Toon 2 packs
Panda Khan
Ultimate Toon Shredder
Mirage April
Pee Wee
Count

Maybe:
Foot Assassin (classic color)

BD Red Shredder probably not, I've got both the blue one and the foot 4 pack red Shredder.

I'll be looking to sell B&W shredder and foot and get out of the B&W game. Rest of the Mirage stuff is cool and all but I am staying away from Mirage variants given how Turtled-out we all are after a decade of onslaught. At the end of the day I'm more of a movie and TV guy than comics.

Panda Khan admittedly looks terrific.....

The 4 Pack of the Mirage turtles as gangsters goes up Friday for pre-order for Haul-a-Thon. Just saw the post on Instagram

https://i.imgur.com/GMEARpW.jpeg

DonnieLaForge 04-09-2025 04:19 PM

I found Ultimate Shredder, Count, and BD Mirage Shredder at a Target (have only checked a couple) in the shipper display.

I forget what else was on it, but no other toon figures were on it. :x

Hoping that one of these Friday Target events includes the rest of the toons...kinda dumb to start off Haul-a-thon, a decidedly Target event, with Mirage items that are not themselves Target exclusives.

Autbot_Benz 04-11-2025 09:54 AM

Gangster Turtles and Creepy Eddie and Shibano Sama are up on Target’s site

I bit the bullet on those sets because... man, they just look so cool.

lonewarrior20 04-11-2025 05:10 PM

decided just to go for the toon stuff this year and mirage april. think they'll have it again next year with the things going on in the world right now? will we even be able to afford it?

RaphaelinSTL 04-11-2025 11:00 PM

No luck at my Target this week, but the display was up. Gonna try some other ones tomorrow or on Sunday.

ToTheNines 04-12-2025 04:42 AM

Went to a Target I never go to and they didn’t have the display or anything, so that was a bust.

However, it was one of the best stocked NECA sections I’ve ever seen. Lots of Mirage stuff and some Cartoon 2-packs I’ve never seen in person. Zack/Smask, Vernon/Rat King, couple others.

jestergoblin 04-14-2025 04:56 PM

‘Toon Shredder is the hot figure this time around - have only seen him once.

Saw the 4-pack, it’s fun but I got to stop buying turtle variants.

ToTheNines 04-14-2025 05:28 PM

Went to the trashy Target in my town, still nothing. Weird.

DonnieLaForge 04-15-2025 07:44 AM

The Target that used to be NECA central near me had no haulathon shipper and the amount of NECA merchandise had been severely reduced.

Autbot_Benz 04-15-2025 04:17 PM

Mirage April with the perm is going up this Friday and is already in Target’s according to NECA. This was from NECA’s instagram

Also the ultimate toon Shredder is going up Friday too

Mirage Handyman Don goes up tomorrow too.

Y2Bogus 04-18-2025 08:21 AM

Shredder already sold out

ToTheNines 04-18-2025 08:42 AM

Damn that’s crazy. I’ll probably just keep Archie Shredder on my cartoon shelf. Already have Archie Slash there anyway.

Not every Target carries them, so for some, this was their own way of getting one. The Targets by me still have Toon Slash, the Punk Turtles, and Samurai Mike and Astronaut Don.

Do you think it was collectors grabbing these, scalpers, or both?

lonewarrior20 04-18-2025 09:12 AM

Shredder was gone just as I was hitting payment.

DonnieLaForge 04-18-2025 09:30 AM

Just need April but was asleep at the wheel.

I'm assuming she isn't Target exclusive. Wonder when their "first to market" rights expire on the Mirage.

Almost all the Haul-A-Thon stuff isn’t exclusive to Target. I just wish they would put up that Pee Wee Herman figure already :x

Chaotix12345 04-18-2025 12:02 PM

Shredder's back up, and I grabbed him. Mostly just been collecting my favorite characters when it comes to the NECA stuff, but the Vacation Bop and Rock that I got for Christmas REALLY needed their boss to be complete. (I've also never owned an accurate '87 Shredder figure, and I just couldn't resist.)

DonnieLaForge 04-18-2025 12:33 PM

April is back up too as of this moment, so, guess that problem is solved.

I, too, want Pee-Wee. I couldn't tell if he was in the shipper I saw IRL, but if he was, he was sold out. Which frankly ... surprises me? I know plenty love him but that shipper couldn't have been there more than a week when I found it and there are less and less people dropping $35 on plastic these days...

Otter 04-20-2025 02:20 AM

Do shipping rates keep going up for people? Gone up on the items in my cart 60% since yesterday. :lol: Guess I'll just wait until the retail release.

mikey0 04-21-2025 03:20 PM

Tattoo and Wyrm this Friday. I’m sure Wyrm when paired with Groundchuck and Dirtbag will make some collector’s toy shelf stand out more than it does.

Autbot_Benz 04-21-2025 06:03 PM

Really hoping this isn’t another tmnt only drop this week.

In a weird turn of events there are a ton of him around here....

Autbot_Benz 04-22-2025 09:41 AM

The Wyrm two pack is going up Friday

RaphaelinSTL 04-22-2025 08:54 PM

Awesome! Definitely need to make sure I set my alarm to remember to be by my phone for this, haha.

Autbot_Benz 04-22-2025 09:22 PM

Old Man Mirage Raph goes up Friday Too.

Panda Khan goes up Friday new. Another TMNT only drop

NECA did way too many TMNT figures for haul-a-thon this year. If this is another TMNT only drop this week like last week I will be annoyed.
