I picked up a lot of bootleg LEGO TMNT minifigures on eBay (cheap!) so I could get this bootleg Shadow Leo:

A few months ago I tried to buy some NECA bootlegs from a seller in China. Surprise surprise, I got ripped off. Luckily eBay refunded my money and I was lucky enough to snag some off a seller in the U.S.
Wow! I was really impressed by the quality and paint jobs on these. Highly recommended!

Man, let me know if you find a red bandanna one, that ain't 50 bucks. That's all I see on ebay. I ain't spending that.

This was off eBay? I'm considering getting similar bootlegs from a seller in China...but it's the colored bandanas. I still want to get them pretty badly though =/

I just got my set of bootleg TMNT in today. It was the 6 pack (regular 4 turtles + Shredder & Splinter). I've only opened Splinter so far, they ain't LEGO quality for sure, but for $4 w/ free shipping I ain't complaining. They're display worthy on my desk, but wouldn't stand up to actual kid play. I'm still trying to win a set w/ Shadow Leo, but refuse to pay over $6. If anyone is interested in pics I'll be happy to post them after I've had more time with them.

If you are patient you can get any of these bootleg minifigures for incredibly cheap. It surprises me that people will run up one auction when there are about fifty more ending within the hour!

I know, I watched them go all day for $3 and $4 a pop, that night while laying in bed waiting to fall asleep I decided I would buy them the next day, ever since then it's like they're the most popular thing ever. It's ridiculous, I see auctions hit $8+ when he's got the set listed for $7.25 Buy It Now on his store front. Dumb as*es.

Me too. I'm hoping they come up with the movie mini figures. These are really nice and a real bang for the buck

Finally figured out what this thing is. It's the body of Lock Lips from the MadBalls Head Popping line with a turtle head stuck on it.

So I recently went through my childhood Turtle toys. I found an interesting 88 style Leonardo. He feels very cheap. His belt complete crumbled when I tried to mess with it. There are no trademark stamps anywhere and his hand holes are cut way too slim to hold any weapons. I'm just wondering where my parents bought a knockoff TMNT figure in the early 90s haha. I researched on google a bit and found that it's more than likely a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Tortoise." Where could you even get these things in the early 90s?

Mexico or the flea market. Probably a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Tortugas" figure.
