Really a very niche market. They are rare....BUT... you have to find someone who collects errors.

tmntmikey23 you need to stop talking out of your ass, seriously.

Factory errors are VERY common with the Nick series figures, so don't worry about it. It's only worth a buck or two more.

I checked out ebay, they have a few and they are generally twice as much as a "normal" figure in store. Then again people on ebay seem to charge that for "normal" figures as often as not. Maybe I will just keep the bat for awhile but keep him in the package (unlike my other figures) until I decide what to do.

My second mutagen man I tried to order is also an error except this one is missing his eyes, like the step in the manufacturing process where they got painted on has been skipped. I am returning this one on monday and hoping 3rd time is a charm.

Just because something is LISTED at a certain price doesn't mean it will SELL at that price.

eBay 101, son.

tmntmikey23- How, with soooo few brain cells, are you still alive? Those are ASKING prices. The items have not sold for those prices, that's what the sellers want for them.

That's what we were trying to do before you started spreading false information. So yeah, don't do that again.

Please quit the board drama I'm still waiting for the day we get some pics of new figures or what the final released version of something looks like.

This isn't 4chan...

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)

It seems that the new Nick line, factory errors are way more common then most toy lines. I suggest checking out other threads of similar issues and see what they have concluded with.

The error card collector marked is very niche of what I've seen, and eBay is not an reliable source to fact check anything for their true value, as most people will want as much as they can get from their listed items. You could off buy the error figure and try to sell it if you have the time and energy to do so, but I doubt many will pay good money for a error carded Nick figure in comparison to other toy lines.

Incorrect inserts is a fairly common error with this line and newer action figure lines in general. They are an interesting anomaly, but very few people collect them. So they don't fetch much extra money. There are plenty of people like tmntMickey23 who think they are valuable and try to sell them on ebay. But if you look at the completed auctions, they don't sell. completed TMNT auctions with "error" in the title

The Mutagen Man you got is different. It isn't a real error. There was a running change where they started painting the eyes as well as making a few other changes. (you can see both versions for comparison here) All of the new figures showing up have the eyes painted. So the unpainted version may prove to be somewhat rare in comparison.

I wonder what MM version will fetch a higher price in the future? Probably the unpainted one becuase the painted eyes version is becoming more common.

I counted 7-8 different colors of paint. More then likely they will skimp on application.

I'll say the bandoleer.

The bandoliers, the claws, inside of the mouth, the pistols, pant cuffs, inside the ears....

....wonder what the back of the figure looks like.
