No sign at Wal-mart only some turtles, 2 FF figures and 2 2K3 figures.

Oh well Target probably won't have it either.

Those guys surely love merchandising eh?
What are you, kidding? Have you seen the Spiderman 3 line? Doctor Ock, Lizard, and Rhino figures? Deleted scenes, perhaps?!

Lol, allright, allright.

I must have missed the 3,5 secs where you can see old shredhead in the new movie.
And i'm not that familiar with toys so i automatically assumed a toy from a character which gets barely even mentioned in the movie would be something unusual.
I simply wasn't aware that toy companies are milking kids that bad. :p

After watching the Tribunal season yesterday, I'm thinking that the "movie" Shredder looks like the Tengu Shredder.

I never realized that. Hmm... I was wondering why the movie Shredder looked like one thing, the video game Shredder was basically a shiny 2K3 Shredder, and the figure looked nothing like either!

Is this guy for real?

I know it is on ebay but why can't this guy be found anywhere else? Maybe it is too early and I'm just impatient but I stopped by the Toys R Us in Times Square, NY and there was no trace of the Shred Head. If you know anything about this Toys R Us, it is gigantic and has a huge amount of toys there. There was an avalanche of TMNT toys. They had all of em except him and that Sloth dude... I demand more evidence of his existence.

No signs of them on the east coast yet I'm in Pittsburgh,p.a. and I've been to 5 stores and not a sign of them but it really does depend on what store you go to because each one is differnt when it comes to stolking it's shelves.
Most walmarts take forever to do this while target does it more often than not.
But I try to keep an eye out in every place.
Be patient these will be everywhere soon enough.

Yeah, I agree, toy companies milk kids badly. That's why there were so many turtle variants in the past and Batman.

Introducing Batman in a green suit with big purple claws! I'm not kidding, I saw a figure similar, if not just like that when I went to the store.

Well theres not really much one can do with batman.
But I'll give playmates credit for their past work atleast back in the day every single turtle figure had a brand new sculpt and made the figures fresh with new box art unlike now everythings so generic.

I agree with you for the most part but they had their share of the same figure/sculpt with different variants. Do you know how many variants there are of Genghis Frog? Take a wild guess!

Those aren't actual variants those are mistakes and changes made during the production of the figure it's self.
What I'm talking about are figure variants as in costume changes every single figure from the orignal line sans the released repaint warriors at the very end of the line where all orignal sculpts.
Btw yes I know about every figure and box variant ever those don't count like I said.
It's a shame they can't bring this sort of creativty and quality to the line today.
