Re-releases of Fightin' Gear tmnt, Armorized Shredder,Etc.

Yep you heard me right boys and gals!
They've already changed the boxes to the fighting Gear TMNT, Armorized Shredder, Foot Gunner, & Foot Elite guard.
I went to Walmart tonight to check and see if anything new was out yet and low and behold they had added things to this series box's they now have a Banner on the front of the Box and back of the box saying Fightin' Gear.
Thought I'd tell this to those hard core collectors like myself and tmntgal.
Time to update the old versions list.
btw I only picked up Mike & Leo but I scanned them in to show you what they look like. & I also thought it odd that they put this on the Foot Gunner & Elite Guard !Enjoy!

I just picked up my foot gunner and Elite just the other day and they have "fighting gear" logo, I thought they all did, I didn't know anything was changed. I kinda like it, they look different displayed on my shelf!

I saw those the other day at Target, but the only cash I had on me was enough to get my friend a birthday present so I passed.... For now...

Ohh ok. I've seen some pictures, And on the pictures i've seen, The armor was kind of silvery. When I saw the auctions on Ebay, The armor was just a boring grey. C'mon guys, What to believe??

An overboard collector would be a hoarder, a person that buys a TMNT fig anythime they see one. Die hard collectors search for variants, etc.

So far I've found the Fighting Gear Turtles with the Grey and Blue Banners. Haven't seen any with Green Banners yet.

I have yet so see an Armored Shredder with a Logo. I saw him once when he originally shipped (no banner) but the package was too smashed for my taste.

I also picked up a Gunner with the new Game Sticker. (No longer called Code Sticker b/c there's no code inside)

I've never even seen the original variants. Hell, the newest figure I've seen is Nano.
