Figures cans stand on all of the play sets, you know.

I stand corrected. I just think the billboard one's the best out of the four to stand the figures since it looks cooler for me.

I posted a review and photos on my site. But, the short answer is that they make a decent display, but space on them is limited, especially the fire escape set. I would liken them to some of the display bases that Toy Biz used to produce for the early Marvel Legends and Spider-Man toy lines.

There are photos of the sets with figures in the review.

If you want them in the two packs, maybe. I still see them around here or there. But the plan is to release them as four basic vehicles with an added projectile for two of them. So if that does happen, you will be able to pick up all four for the same price as the two sets that seem to be discontinued.

Ranting on the Casey figure again...

We've seen Casey in the show a total of 6 times...7 if you count The Manhattan Project as two episodes, which it is. He has worn that face paint once...ONCE. Why, oh why did Playmates have to put it on the figure? Did they have just the official render to go off of?

Less colors? The paint is black and white, two colors already used on the figure, so playmates cheaped out and chose the easier thing.

Who knows. It's kinda disappointing. I just leave the mask on and don't think about it.

Playmates have always cheaped out on paint. How many figures from the original line had awesome sculpted details that were totally lost 'cause they were left unpainted?

So this is one of the few types of action figures I collect and I recently ordered a few figures from Target and TRU online. One figure I ordered was Mutagen Man but the figure I received.... well the back card is for Kirby Bat which is the figure in the package but the front card (at the front of the bubble) is for mutagen man. The figure shows no signs of being opened and I am certain that this is a factory error.

I didn't really want Kirby Bat so my first thought was that I should return it and get the correct figure but:
A) I am wondering if something like this has any value in the collectors market (I am not a hardcore collector so I have no idea about such things)
B ) If this miscarded figure isn't worth anything I may just keep it since Kirby Bat looks cooler in the box than he does in pictures.

Please let me know if I should keep it sealed (aka if it has some greater value) or just open it and add the bat to my TMNT collection (which right now is 4 turtles, april, metalhead, fishface, a couple foot soldiers, and snakeweed)
