Shipping is free through Toys R Us if you order all four. I think it's something like... spend $49 and over and your shipping is free. My order total for all four figures was $86.36.

Mine should be here Thursday, by the end of the day. Can't wait!

That looks...amazing really. Fine point permanent marker? Those look great! Now I think you've convinced me. I'm getting these, they look way better out of box. Plus the fact that these are only $20 a piece at TRU and the OT ones I can only find for $25 a figure.

Still have to wait until tomorrow. I'm shocked that Pixel-Dan, Shartimus Prime, Obtibotimus or SeanXLong hasn't made reviews on them yet.

Ultra fine point permanent marker. Don't buy the type that has the pen radius that's too thick. You can certainly use a fine point permanent marker if you want more of a mosaic between big and small freckles (or liver warts or whatever they are.) but I wouldn't use a fine point permanent marker for all of the spots that you make because you wont get much variation in the sizes. Also remember to use matte acrylic clear coat sealer to bond the marker to the plastic, otherwise it will smear.

I am picking mine up from ups in about an hour. I can take pictures of whatever pose you want. I know it's not the same as a video review but better than nothing I suppose. I just don't know how good I would be at doing a video review haha.

do you touch up the paint on your figs to make them a little bit more accurate? or just pose them or something

If this is for me, no I don't touch up the paint unfortunately. I don't honestly have the skill required to do even the smallest touch ups. I guess I have a heavy hand. I wish I had the skill that some of the other board members have. We have some very talented people here. That and to me it takes away some of the value. Others may disagree though. I don't mind opening my set because I know I am getting a second set (as I do with every figure) for my bday at the end of the month.

I customize most of my figures these days. in fact I'm usually so detail specific its a rare sight for any of my figures to not be customized on some level.

RE: these figures though I feel like a six year old kid again. I've got my live action turtles, I'm watching the old movies too..plus I know I said this a week ago but it really feels like the curse of the movie star turtles has finally been lifted from me.

Shredder looks alright, but Krang should be a bigger.

I hate opening my figures and I always buy two of everyone just so I can open one. That's the collector in me I guess.

Does TRU normally limit orders? When they put their exclusive X-Men figures up recently I grabbed 2 of each, except Storm who I got 5 of.

Anyway, I wouldn't stress about not getting these straight away. I have a feeling these are going to hang around in TRU stores for a good while...
