I'd say they're original sculpts, if not based on an international-only mini-fig release. I really like them. If I could find them a tad cheaper I'd commit.
Interesting that they have this movie promo poster on their backside...

What did you buy for $120 actually?
The listing showed 2 sets of the 6 figures + party wagon. I don't think you got them all right? You bought 6 figures only right? |

Not too bad a price considering it's sold out everywhere. I got mine for about AU$16.60 each on launch which i proudly hung on my wall

Are turtles popular in Malaysia? Would there be more bootlegs there? I went to Thailand a few years ago and they didnt have anything. Though its a different country.

Everyone at least knows ninja turtle.
But i've not seen anyone as crazy about collecting TMNT figures as myself over here. As usual, if you buy stuff from TRU or other major retailers, you can be sure they are genuine. Bootlegs can be found but you gotta know where to look. Usually in small hobby and specialty stores. |

New Bootleg LEGO sets. Missed the convention exclusive "dark" Leo? How about the half-human Kraang? No problem.
 Link: http://amzn.com/B00LM3QEIQ Here is another set of bootleg turtles featuring the 2014 LEGO variants, but it's a lot less interesting cause it contains no hard to find figures. |

I'm definitely getting a set of these to repaint. Those 4 turtles are just too cute!! Just lacking a better paintjob. Upon looking at the pic a bit more, I just noticed that they have the colors all wrong!! According to this picture, Donnie has chucks, Leo has a bo, and Mikey has katannas! Raph is the only one they got right!!  These will be mine!! It is funny how they have the movie logo/symbol on their backs!!

Ha! I never noticed. It almost adds to their charm though. I wonder if that error is consistent among each batch sent out. I guess I'll buy a set & find out.
 But on the topic of paint, with these being bootleg (as in, unregulated) products from China, is lead paint an issue to be concerned about? I know it's an old practice long since ceased in mainstream toy production, but I dunno about underground stuff. |

Do these bootleggers use lead paint? I have quite a few sets of the Nick bootlegs and 1990 movie bootlegs and never even thought about that. Is there a way to tell? |
