this could be old news but if anyone still wants the plushies walmart.com has them for 14.96! free shipping on a $45 or more order.

I found both Leo & Raph at a Target out in Stapleton. Checked the store status online & called to confirm just in case. I originally thought I had bought Donnie the day before from TRU's website but I guess the sale didn't go through for some reason. I ended up ordering Mikey the next week from Walmart and then got caught up collecting some other things so I still need to order Donnie at some point.

Update! Want want want!

Hey guys, it's been a while since this thread has been updated! Anyway, I found a new plushie while searching on eBay! It's a Donatello plush, but obviously it's in a different style/made by a different company. I like how he's pre posed, pretty cool. Now, I must find pics of the other turtles! (they wouldn't just make Donnie) You tend to see these kind of plushies in claw machines/ as prizes at carnivals, so be sure to keep an eye out!

That looks like a remarkably well made plush. The extra work put into the belts and pads is pretty cool. From the looks of it, it isn't actually preposed, the seller just leaned it against the wall with the right arm propped up. From the stitching and the size of the label, it is probably only about 6 inches tall. But given that it does have the Nickelodeon logo on the label, this should be an officially licensed product which means it probably won't end up in claw machines/carnivals. Those tend to be cheaper items and knock-offs. (Unless you have much better claw machines than I have seen around here.)

No, it's definitely pre posed. Look at the second picture of it in the first post of this thread (I updated it).

I don't know what kind of claw machines you have in your area, but there are always licensed characters in claw machines and at fairs/carnivals. Spongebob, Smurfs, Mickey Mouse, Despicable Me, you name it. There was even TMNT Fast Forward plushes in my claw machines when the show was airing. I'm a big claw machine player, and I know what type of plushies usually end up in there, and this looks just like a prize plush.

Ah, I had not seen the picture at the beginning of the thread. That is odd.

My comment on the claw machines is meant more in regard to the quality. Most of the toys in claw machines I see, especially the Fast Forward plush turtles from a few years ago, are of fairly low quality because the unit cost has to be quite low.

There is yet ANOTHER line of TMNT plushes now, exclusive to the Nickelodeon Store at Nickelodeon Universe. You can't see them too well in this video, but it's all we've got right now. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v...type=2&theater

Gahh! Those are so ugly! I'll look at them next time I'm at Nickeoldeon Universe, but the pillow buddies are way better.

I think they'd be better without the double chin

I want a Kraang brain plush that can attach to my head via velcro tentacles. Your argument is invalid.

Don't really like the mouths but Raph's Harry Potter scar is a nice touch. The pillow buddy doesn't have the scar.

12 - 14" tall. So about the the same height as the pillow buddies. Hmm...

Saw pillow buddy mikey at a Target today. First time I actually found one in a physical store, *gasp*

I like the 'new style plushies above. I agree the pillow buddies are overall better, but I really like some of the attention to detail the nick universe ones have. But yeah, the mouths don't match well, they should have came up with something else.

By the way, while the prices are not as good as some other online sites, amazon carries the pillow buddies now too. If you search for "tmnt pillow buddy" you'll find all four -- with prime shipping.
