Playmates TMNT Blind Bags

Finally a video review/unboxing!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-a3Q2GUrQs

Let's have a thread to discuss these, because Playmates is going to release multiple waves, including a waves based on the Nick franchise!

If anyone finds codes for these, please share those as well!

I hope I can find these soon

Okay I found some at target today.

(Click for larger)


There is a faintly printed code on the back of every pack, in its upper-right corner above the barcode. Match the LAST digit of this code with the list below!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows Surprise Mini-Figures (2016 Movie Series)
F Leonardo (1:6 Odds)
G Donatello (1:8 Odds)
H Michelangelo (1:6 Odds)
I Raphael (1:8 Odds)
J Bebop (1:8 Odds)
K Rocksteady (1:8 Odds)
N Shadow Ninja Leonardo (1:24 Odds)
O Shadow Ninja Michelangelo (1:24 Odds)

Shadow Ninja Don and Raph could be L, M or P, Q. Good luck.

It's not hard to feel for the turtle's weapons to make certain. Donnie's bo is the easiest to feel for.

NOTE: as with other blind bag series, the codes on the back could differ by retailer or by production run... so use this list only as a guide, not as gospel!

I know it's probably too early to ask. I could just wait until they show up over here but looking for Raph if anyone wants to split with doubles.

Good luck! I didn't get any doubles this time personally, but that is bound to happen with people.

Those look awful; why anyone would buy those over the mega bloks figures is beyond me

I wouldn't mind the Bebop figure to sit on my desk at work!

I saw some Nick blind bags in my local toy store today. Thought they were some old stuff, but maybe they're the new ones you mentioned above? I only gave them a second glance as I was in a rush. I might go back and pick one up...

I own the full set of both mega bloks blind figure packs too (okay, they chose to put them in little boxes for the movie series instead of blind packs, but still, technically it's the same core series)

I like both. With these Playmates blind bag figures, they are like miniature action figures in a 'chibi' or 'super deformed' style, which I like. The paint on these is pretty good too -- honestly I was expecting way worse, but there are a lot of little paint apps on them.

I accept that people won't all like the style of them. But they could have done way worse! I think these are well made for the low price (3.99 per pack)

They even have articulation, which most blind bag figures do not. Their arms and heads are on little ball joints and their legs can fold up for a sitting position

I like all of them and am glad to have a full set but honestly yes, Bebop translated really well to this style. His head is great! Nicely detailed with all of his teeth/tusks painted.

BONUS: Bebop's empty hand is doing the Sign of the Horns hand sign!

Bebop and Rocksteady seem like the easiest to find.

Hope these surface in the UK soon.

When you found these at Target, where did you find them in the store?

in the toy isle right next to the TMNT basic figures. Actually it was sitting right next to that new 6 pack of movie figures.

Who knows, in some stores they might put these up by the sports cards. So check there too

It's almost like people have different taste than you, who would have thought?

Are they the same size as the OOTS ones, or more like HSH? I'm definitely in for a Kraang.

Thanks for the pics, they look nice!
A movie Krang and Shredder would have been nice though.
