Special Edition Space Hoppin Turtles???
Hey guys check this out.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=2991700392 This seller has several of these same auctions running. I just found them a while ago while searching for Triceratons. I emailed Dan about it too. I'll post what he says as soon as I get a reply. Sounds pretty cool but I'm skeptical because of the lack of good photos and why is he waiting 30 days to ship these? What do you guys think? Think I'll ask the seller some questions about it. |
Curious indeed. The seller has good feedback. And he has a picture of the backer card, so I'm tempted to believe that it's real. Hopefully Dan can fill you in on these. It sounds like it will be the same figures that will be released later in the year. Just 100 of each are being released early w/ Peter Laird's simulated signature sticker on the bubble. :)

I don';t know hun this does seem to good to be true but oddly enough I believe this guy I might actully try to get myself one of these box sets seem to be poping up left and right these days for the guys. I wish theyd make some special characters though for the box sets that would really make me have to go get them all. -Vaughn Michael |
They're definitely legitamite. That's the seller Playmates uses for special Ebay promos.
They did the same thing last year with the Playmates Simpsons 2-pack dioramas. There were 3 total, and they sold 100 of each early on ebay. The only thing that was special about those is that they came with a certificate of authenticity from Playmates, and you got them at least a month before anyone else. It sounds like these are quite a bit more interesting, having a holographic sticker with Laird's signature actually on the bubble. |
I bid on one of the auctions and then I e-mailed him to ask what the reserve price was, and this was his reply:

Very interesting! Now that's a toy that I wouldn't open!
|
-->> Hey,TMNT-G.. you think they were some kind of Toy Fare exclusive deal..
..i know lots of comapnies have had Toy exclusives just for Toy Fares and such.. maybe that's the sace with these toys?? .. maybe i'm wrong..i dunno.. :-? |
I bid on one of the solo ones and it appears as if the individual ones have a reserve at $6 or so.
Also if you look at the tiny pictures, the package is shown unpunched (complete rectangle) which i think is kinda cool. |
Dan got back to me. He didn't have any info so he asked Mirage CEO Gary Richardson about it. They are indeed real. Playmates is testing to see what kind of interest there is in Limited Edition figures. The hologram is so cool. I sent him some of my ideas and asked him to pass them along. :D

Very interesting.... Interesting enough for me to bid on a set...

Just to give a better idea of what's going on here, here's a link to the details from the Playmates/World In Advance Simpsons Ebay promo from last year: http://www.simpsonscollectors.com/news.asp?id=1102
