I have these two, but I'm not sure what you mean by Tush.

For Splinter the back says Package Printed in Hong Kong and Assembled and Packed in Macao. And it has the Playmates print on it.

For Rocksteady, it says package printed in Hong Kong and Assembeled and Packed in China. Alos ahs the Playmates tag on it.

Are these what you want?

No those are not the ones I'm looking for. By tush I mean the butt/booty of the figure. From the package text you have the Macao Splinter and China Rocksteady. Thanks for taking the time to check what you have.

wow, when i was completing my set years ago, i didn't even think of differences like that. good luck trying to complete your stuff as i imagine it must be somewhat frustrating. i also checked my krang, but it was made in china i think so i knew you didn't want that one.

It's actually been fun tracking all these down. I'm so close to finishing everything. I probably would have finished by now had I kept posting want ads for them. I'll post comparison pics of the sets on the board one of these days.

please do...I never realized that there were variations of the original TMNT figures.

Yeah, 1st releases had soft squishy heads, and based on where it was made some had large, regular or small sized heads. Then later they were made with hard plastic heads. Non Turtle figures had some interesting details as well. I can take some quick shots and post them on Monday. :)

now that you mention it, i know i have a loose rocksteady with a really big head, bigger than another loose rocksteady i have. the big headed one has a soft head though and the other is the hard head.
