I hadn't seen these listed before, but it may be old news:

Dire Beaver

http://www.kmart.com/nickelodeon-5in...&blockType=G33

Muckman

http://www.kmart.com/nickelodeon-tee...&blockType=G48

Both are unavailable, but could be an indication that they're coming soon?

I fully expect that Muckman to be 100% all green.

I expect muckman to have some painted details but just 5 points of articulation. I agree with the no accessories though.

Mondo gecko is a prime example of a toy in need of more paint. Very little paint below the Neck. I assume because they are kids toys the have to use the good lead-free stuff but is it really affecting their bottom line so bad they need such plain looking figures?

Back in the 90's they still had unpainted details but the figures were so bright and colourful with the stuff they did paint that it wasn't a big deal but a lot of the new stuff looks very drab. My kids seem to like them though.

It really showed how drab the new Mondo figure is when Dan showed the old/new side by side. The sculpt and colors on that 90's one is just awesome. I have two original Mondos and one has more paint than the other.

Mondo is probably one of the very few figures I'll get. Despite his lack of joints and paint he's still nice looking.
Just wish he had elbow and knee articulation, hand swirls and his tail was on a ball joint.

I kinda want Mondo because he's a Mutanimal , but he's too big compared to his under scaled allies , and him fighting a Triceraton would be super akward.

My area doesn't usually get anything close to timely shipments, so this is probably old news, but... is Playmates just slapping unsold BayTurtles figures into the cartoon line's packaging to try to move them?

No. But they are continuing to produce more of the Movie figures, though they have now incorporated them into the basic assortment figures. The one odd ball is Raph in Disguise who began to ship once again this summer, but he is still
on the original movie cards.

The movie turtles in my area have the movie turtles on packages, not the Nick line pic. Weird.

Note the Spin Master Logo. This is the Canadian version.

They did here too when they first came out. This is a repackaged version, for some reason under the Nick banner instead of the BayTurtles one. I haven't seen the BayTurtles line stocked anywhere in quite a while.

The same as the rest, I think... I should have taken a picture. I forget what the character bio said/looked like, but I didn't see any BayTurtles figures shown in the lineup below it. If I notice one again I'll take a pic of the back.

Makes sense. Wonder if the repackaging is Canada-only for some reason?
