Usually, TRU has a shiny silver seal/sticker that says "Toys R Us Exclusive" that they place on their toys that can only be found there. A lot of my NECA Aliens, Predator, Prometheus, & Alien Vs. Predator 2-packs were TRU exclusives and they always had the silver exclusive seal on them. The Matty Ghostbusters II 4-pack had giant colorful sticker on it as well. When I saw that these TMNT's didn't have that sticker it made me wonder.

Amazon have partnered with TRU in the past to carry exclusives (they've currently also got the new TRU exclusive Marvel Legends X-Men figures for example). I wouldn't expect these to turn up at any other retailer any time soon.

Just got all 4 of mine. Outside box was pretty beat up. Opened to a bunch of air packing inside and 3 of the dudes 4 were pretty beat up. Leo was almost opened if it weren't for the tape around the bubble. Mikey was the best. Oh well they were getting opened anyway. They are on a shelf behind the bar next to the cartoon versions, which I like much more. Bring on the next 2!

Just went into TRU to get the basic movie figures, then I saw these and bought them right away. I think they are pretty cool. I opened them up. I don't really keep any of my figures in box unless they are older or rare. They had some frozen joints but I fixed them up when I attempted to switch their heads like in the video. The faces are good i just feel like Leo's eyes look odd. I ended up switching them back because they just didn't fit right. Still enjoy them though.

Honestly the switch only looks good on Raph and Leo... Mike and Don fit just fine the way they are... despite Don's derpyness.

Well I can't try this yet, but I think I've imagined the perfect solution:
1990 Movie Accurate Raph: Raph's Dome, Raph's Bandanna, Leo's Face Lower the belt to cover up plastron seam. 1990 Movie Accurate Leo: Raph's Dome, Raph's Bandanna, Raph's Face (paint the bandanna blue) 1990 Movie Accurate Mike: OEM works for me 1990 Movie Accurate Don: That **** might take some scuplting.....

Still really disappointed in Playmates over these head sculpts and terrible paint apps on the eyes. Everything else is great, and then... yuck. The absolute lack of attention to detail just shows how little they understand the collector market.

Have to say that I really hate how tight they make the should joints. The bicep swivels aren't even strong enough to adequately move the shoulder. Mostly it just bends really badly. Anyone have solutions for this? All four of mine have left shoulder issues with some having both shoulders too tight. I do like the overall visual aesthetics of these. Leo and dons faces are poorest sculpts. Raph and mikey look great.
