I got these two 2006 Leonardo figures, there are basically the same but the face expressions are different. What's up with that?

Yeah I have no doubt that's the case.

One of them is regular 2k7 Movie Leonardo (closed mouth) and second one is from LEO VS GEN. GATO set. And this head swaping stuff sucks. Lot of problems with 2k7 toys identification. And it happend before with Paleo Patrol serie in the past for example. I hate when they swap heads or change just a tiny one thing.

Ok dumb question. I got my first MOC turtle on eBay. It's a 10 back 1988 Raphael. The auction didn't specify hard head or rubber head. Now that I have it in hand, I still can't tell.

Anybody know?

Its looks soft head.

Doomsword · 06-29-2012, 09:44 PM

I would also say that is a soft head Raph.

Does anybody know how rare the mini Splinter figure that came in the can's of ooze is? Also does anyone have a pic of one?

Looks like a softy to me, they are genrally not as shiny as the rest of the plastic, but to be sure look at the side of the head.
The hard heads will have a visible seam, just like any other cast plastic piece.
The soft heads are vinyl, and are cast in spin mold and will not have a visible seam.

Its quite a bit rarer than the turtle. Also, thats soft head Raph on the cycle, and soft head Don & Leo in the Van.

Awesome thanks! That's some good info.

Doomsword · 06-30-2012, 04:16 PM

Thank you for the pic Zarana-X. Just wanted to make sure that is what I have & it is.

The mini Splinter from the Ooze can isn't all that rare, I've owned two of them.

Green Machine · 07-03-2012, 09:30 AM

I have a 1988 MOC turtle and it looks like there are little spots of mold inside the bubble. Has anybody ever seen this or dealt with it. Is there anyway of getting rid of it?

Now THAT'S crazy. I hate mold so much, if I had that figure, it would have already been out of the package and displayed on the shelf.

Yeah, I've never seen that before in all my years of toy collecting. It's not bad enough to be annoying. As long as the spots stay small. It's still a nice figure on a nice card.
