I opened up a box roughly every other week during the slow times but every Christmas time, I opened up at least two.

I also got the pleasure of meeting Playmates representatives and they said it never was made.

You're thinking of Hun. I know you're thinking of Hun. It's impossible that you saw one a couple years because that was the Paleo Patrol and Mystic Turtles era.

Purple Dragon was supposed to be out last year alongside with Quarry, Nobody, Baxter 2.0, Bishop, and the Rat King.

I used to be like the kid from ShortPacked.com and do toy hunts daily because of work or during breaks between classes at my community college. I was always near a TRU, a KayBee, Walmart, and Targets. It was also kind of work related to do that...

My final verdict, if it matters to anyone...

Playmates never released a Purple Dragon. Never released the Inuwashi Gunjin. Never released Starlee, Biggles, Tripletheat, and FF Bishop.

Sorry kid, but no cigar on the Purple Dragon.

I can understand why you don't believe me, It would be hard for me to believe someone if say, they said they came across a few Splinter/BigFoot monster packs as well, because they've never been produced & I've never seen any myself. No, I'm not thinking of Hun, lol. I frequent a Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, TRU & KB 5 days a week, so I have a pretty good idea of what's what. I seen 2 Purple Dragons rather anyone believes me or not, and that's fine with me. I've also worked retail before, opening case after case of various figure lines over the years, I've never seen anything else to my knowledge that wasn't supposed to be released. So, that's that. You or anyone else doesn't have to, & probably won't take my word for it, & that's fine. I didn't intend to offend anyone or anything.

I have 'em all!!!

I live in Milwaukee, and I don't know about other major cities, but I can drive to 5 different WalMarts in a matter of an hour. It's gotten to the point that the people in the toy departments know who I am and know what I am looking for. (Thanks Matt for the heads up on the movie Shredder.) On the weekends, I drive to Chicago to visit my Grandparents, and I can hit up 9 Walmarts, 6 Family Dollars, 3 Shopkos, 2 kb, and 2 TRU. If I can't feed my TMNT addiction with that, I have a problem. It is costly, but I budget. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I rarely dine out. I guess my habbit is TMNT. Notice I didn't say BAD habbit. Buying a new action fig never caused someone to get lung cancer. Email me if you know someone who did.

As far as the whole Purple Dragon issue that has been discussed earlier... There is NO Purple Dragon. It was never released. Sorry to burst your bubble. POP! lol...

Well it's hard to believe you because playmates themselves says the figure was never released, none have shown up on ebay and i've never seen one on my weekly obsessive figure hunting trips.

Yeah, what he said.

It's all good, some people have also seen the Lochness monster. Even an alternative universe is a possibility. Think, big.

Since we are dreaming, I would like to book a romantic 3 night stay for 2 in the dark and dreadful...Dimension X. I would like to rent a vehicle while I am there, so I can drive to the nearest Walmart and see if they have any Purple Dragon action figures. Maybe I can pick up some extra Scratchs too. lol... I amuse myself.

We're just finding it hard to believe that you have seen a figure in stores that was never released, before it was even put into production. Nothing is impossible, but this goes into the "very improbable" category.
