I did...he said it was based on rareness...there is an even rarer yellow belt bagged grenades version too...I can only imagine the price

IMO the genghis frog w black belt on and bagged grenades is as rare as metalhead without yellow burst,

Also I do have a genghis frog w green belt not on and bagged grenades, only one I have ever seen not to say there isnt another I just havent seen one before, so very rare

As for the price like someone said its what your willing to pay and how bad you want or need the item, rare tmnt is hard to find

So I had a ton of figures as a kid and spent countless hours playing with them, but unfortunately most were sold. Recently I've been trying to buy some of the ones I used to have. I recently came across this and can't find any others with the green jacket. I know it's in rough shape, but I only paid a few bucks. I just wondered if any of you had any info on it.

Thanks!

That looks like yellowing/sun damage to me. If it was a variant, I believe the whole shirt (sleeves included) would be green, not just the hard plastic part that typically yellows easiest. Usually when blue plastic yellows, it turns green (I've wound up with some green Cobra Commanders and Stardusters that way)

Oh ok. Even if it's the exact same shade of green on both sides?

Yeah, the yellowing process is sometimes made by direct sunlight and sometimes by chemical reactions between other plastics while they break down over time. Many times these chemical reactions result in an even discoloring of the plastic

$1,100 is insane for that Ghengis Frog but hey, he is free to set his price wherever and if someone has that kind of money to burn, that's their choice too.

But I do have to say Myteefinestuff has some great prices on a lot of basic accessories/weapons/etc. I was able to finish out my Scumbug, Muckman and a couple Slashes I have for pretty darn cheap!

Someone on this forum recently bought a Genghis with bagged grenades on ebay for under $100.
