Haha!! Yeah, I want to open it but I'll wait till the second one arrived (hopefully early next week). This one is to be a display piece.
It's better and heavier than I expected. As a presentation piece it's incredible, looking as it does, like a giant sized version of a regularly packaged Turtle. Definitely not unhappy that I went for this.

I meant that in a good way of course
You got my Turtles autographs collection off to an awesome start. ( my art teacher mate loves the Casey Jones pic, and thought your personal prints were outstanding).

Leo is in storage now, in the Turtles room. Once I've got it properly displayed, I'll take some more pics.

sorry if the questions has already been asked, but are they doing the Toys R Us 8 packs of the other 3 turtles? Or is it only Leo?

If Leo Sells the other 3 will get made. They also said they might be able to break it up into two packs if not the whole set

Seem kinda of a shame if they choose not to do sets of the other 3 turtles. It,s kind of s cool pack.

Got Monkey Brains today, shoddy paint work of course, but the sculpt is great, and be seems rather massive in hand, plus found Snake Karai again, no luck on Napoleon yet though.

How much is the Pizza Thrower? Is it $30? If it is I guess I'll pass. I haven't bought a TMNT vehicle in forever since the surfboard motorcycle thing and the Shellraiser.

I bought the retro classic (88 "re-release") version of the 4 turtles, and they are f#%ing rubbish...I'm pretty angry.

I've seen you guys mention how lousy Playmates can be, and now I get it.
Leo is way darker than his original colour, Raph is way lighter, their initials on the belts are lousily painted, something is weird about Don's hand/s and one of them has miscast(?) fingers that have a split in them and nearly broke off when I (carefully) equipped him with a bo staff.

YUCK!

edit: at least I can use their belts and weapons as spares.

I should think it's a distinct possibility!

You know what I really hate about this line? The lack off accessories. The old line had some really crazy, awesome accesories, but this line half the figures come with nothing and the ones that do aren't all that great. Those grenades for Bebop? C'Mon, they were just little plastic balls and has he ever even used any grenades on the show?

Pretty sure Bebop have used Grenades post-mutation.

but yeah, after wave 1, the accessories have been pretty lackluster

Playmates are not gonna make every random character an action figure so I wouldn't expect the creep to get a toy. Pigeon Pete has been in like a bunch of episodes and Playmates has said they won;t be making him in the main line.

No one has seen Speed Demon Don T-Machine out in stores yet huh? PDF of a list of Playmates toys says he'll be released Fall 2015. Just making sure he hasn't started to hit shelves yet (cause I want to get him-badly)
