New figures of the 1987 turtles.....COOL!

First, they came out with new Ghostbusters toy figures based off the 1989 characters, now old school TMNT. Anyone think there will be April, Krang, Irma, Vernon, and Shredder figures one day?

There was a video somewhere I viewed, but I forgot where exactly, where a Playmates executive was saying that they were have a trial period to see if these 25th anniversary OT style Turtle figures would sell well with the grownup fans and timed it to match with the promotion of the CGI series.

I remember that executive saying that if the 4 Turtles sold well they would expand the figures to include more characters. Sorry I can't locate the video for you, but I definitely remember seeing it online a few months ago.

It's toy discussion, which belongs in, you guessed it, the toy discussion section.

I can't find the thread that I posted about the Classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures and how hard they were to find in stores and with a good paint job, but I'll post it here now instead. I really dislike Playmates bad paint problems, especially with the eyes, and it's odd amounts of the figures actually making it to stores.

My Toys R Us was the only place around that got them and they got them way back in August when they were first released! But that was the only bunch of them that I saw. I went there about three times a week after that too. I quit doing that around the beginning of December because I was sick of driving there and looking around the toy isle and being disappointed. But I was able to get a great looking Donatello the first, and only, time I saw them in store. Which is weird sense Donnie had the most trouble with the painted eyes.

But a few days ago I just decided that I had to get the other three turtles, especially Raph and Mikey, so I bought the other three on Amazon. I didn't want to because of the unpredictable paint jobs but they were back to $16.99 each for all three of them. Sense that was the price I paid for Donnie originally, I bit the bullet and bought them. I had seen some of them go for over $30 each recently so I thought I better get them at that price while I can. I received them yesterday and to my astonishment, were all perfect regarding their paint apps! I was happily surprised by that and was thrilled.

I am an extremely picky person too so the paint on the eyes really is great on them. I've seen some people have them and say they're great and to me the eyes are still wonky on them but mine look great! I can't say that it will be a happy experience for anyone else who does it but I'd say if you want to get them, and they are nowhere to be found in your area, get them online for a good price while you can. Maybe they've fixed the paint apps across the board by now. I'm going to keep them all sealed except for Raph sense he's my absolute favorite and display him with my other favorite Raph figures and Sideshow statue. I'll say it again but in this case: "Patience is a virtue." I hope they make more Classic figures in the future......and they are easier to buy with much better paint jobs!
