I like the figures, especially Scratch and his crazy eyes - started buying them and can't really stop. I have 7 Scratch figures and 3 Hot Spot figures. I have been in search of finding one of each that would grade an AFA 85+, but it is so hard to find one in that condition. I do own an AFA 80 Scratch with subgrades (C80, B85, F90), but the other six I have would not likely exceed 85 so I have not sent them in.

I wager most of those Playmates mutants should have never been created unless they were going to appear in an episode.
Some of those extra mutants were pointless. King Lionheart, Monty Moose, Halfcourt, Sandstorm, etc. are all terrible characters. I agree the only, "good" one that never got an episode was Pizzaface, only because he's awesome. I really wish Wyrm appeared outside the Archie series though, but at least he got an appearance in that series. |

Well, I keep purchasing them in an attempt to get a higher grade card, but then I can't bring myself to sell them after I get them. Part of me want to get them all graded just to preserve them for others to enjoy.

There are few enough carded Scratch figures on the market that the odds of him selling one then buying it again at an inflated price are a believeable possibility, although probably not that likely. Better to be safe than sorry. Also I can see the sense of enjoyment in having a tonne of the same rare figure assembeled in the one place... I would imagine there would be some sort of sense of accomplishment. I know of a few Star Wars collectors who hunt after multiples of blue snaggletooths and many recieve scrutinising by jealous fans but the way i see it, if they wish to devote their time and effort hunting them down then good luck to them. Im still looking for Scratch but have no interest just yet for a carded example... but since loose complete ones seem to come up on the market far less frequently im almost tempted to start looking for one on a really beat up card.

I totally agree. Even when I was a kid, I prefered original characters as opposed to the 'themed' Turtles. Give me King Lionheart any day of the week over olympic swimmer Raph. And I keep forgetting to mention Wingnut and Screwloose in the awesome characters list.

I really don't see where the lot of ye are comin' from. Scratch and Hot Spot don't stand out at all from the recent of the menage of mutants that were released.

As much as I dislike the figure, that shirt is pretty badass!
