But the thing that was closest to delivering on authentic enjoyment for me was Thundercarts x MOTU. And that's because they surpassed "novelty" by delivering on "Thundercats as designed in MOTU" as opposed to pure amalgam. The whole amalgam thing tells me that someone in marketing heard the crossover idea, loved it but couldn't compute it properly and just started crossing characters.

Honestly the 'mashup' concept largely sucks.

Slash Storm Shadow is the only one I find that interesting - and that’s mostly because “Slash as a white ninja” is an awesome concept.

Meanwhile, Bebop and Rocksteady both look like they just wore different pants one day.

It's a shame there won't be a wave 2 because these are FUN figures.

Haven’t seen these in weeks at my Targets.

Yeah, I might just get Slash...and that's it.

Same, seen all the vehicles but not a single figure.

I haven't either.... not sure if you are in the suburbs or the city limits, but basically the entire area becomes "hunter gatherer" mentality basically as soon as you go west of Mannheim and as far out as Oswego......

the amazon exclusive copters up.

[DonnieLaForge]

I see them around, and am always slightly tempted to grab Krang. Catch & release FTW.

What I have not seen anywhere yet are the new wave of Godzillas and this is what I am really looking for.

I saw the Shredder/Commander on the shelf the other day. They are pretty cool, but I left him there. These mashups are just novelties that don't add much to any of the real toylines - explicitly because of the "mashup concept".

Comic book stores now have these. Leo as Snake Eyes is the common one out of them all.

Walmart is stocking these now in stores as part of the fall reset in good amounts. The one I went to had 3-4 of every two pack, and 4-5 of the single Leo and Krang figures.
