Trust me, when you get Attilla in your hands you'll agree.

Might just be the worst TMNT toy Playmates have ever put out.
It is the worst toy Playmates has ever put out…for now. Who knows what's down the line.

I just dont see what people expect as far as articulation for a jabba the hut lump of a frog with spindly arms.

And as long as we're talking hollow like LARP Don and not "turn him upside down and see a giant gaping hole staring back at you" then I personally dont see that as a deal breaker either.

Besides, worst figure Playmates has ever done will always be Farmer Don, everything can only go up from there

Not sure of the pedigree. These are all pretty generic, but uber cute.
Well they already did one series of Hello Kitty X TMNT last year:


So following up with another series this year doesn't seem that surprising.

Those of us that grew up on/were living on a farm when the farmer Turtles were released would probably disagree with you. That was a weird concept, but not a bad figure. And with Mikey getting into being a chicken farmer in this season, you could say they were just well ahead of their time.

There are plenty of Turtles that were weirder or just worse toys:
Sumo Turtles (both a weirder concept and have the same problems as Attilla)
Ninja Shooters (I'm not sure why anyone wanted unarticulated mini Turtle Buddas that shot marbles.)
The TMNT: the next mutation Turtleflage vehicle/figure packs. (They did a great job matching the patterns on the figures to the vehicles. But the patterns were so outlandish that you can't really call it camouflage.)
The Turbo Bashers which were just an attempt to cash in on Beyblade

I saw in a previous post that someone said that Bebop and Rocksteady are $6.66 on Walmart.com. They are available for free store pickup too. Has anyone purchased figures from Walmart.com before? I want to buy these two for my MOC collection but if others have had bad experiences with dinged packaging, I might just wait and miss out on saving the $4.00.

I wasn't aware that Muckman was even being made, cool! Glad we are getting Attilla too. I loved the Punk Frogs episode!

They work out to around £22 each with postage.
They do form a very nice set. I got these through a seller of Hello Kitty stuff on Taobao.
I do not know if he ships internationally, but I will ask later today.

Leaked?
Well, we have:
Muck man
Beavers
Frogs
A monkey
Head Droppers
Fly's
Etc to look forward to.

I don't know what the order or schedule will be, but I'd reckon Playmates will have a massive push on figures this year, with at least three, maybe four waves of figures. Each wave will come with repackaged figures from previous waves.
Also, the movie Turtles figure range is being generically packaged with upcoming waves to add them into the general selection rather than an isolated one.

A close up of one of the Kitty Turtles.

I put the others into the photobucket.
These are non retail, and custom produced (similar to the way the Krang is being done, except they have international outlets) except, this is is a one person operation, so each figure gets that personal touch. They have been doing this for ten years. The possitive feedback I gave was warmly received.
Now, they are not being sold internationally, and are only available locally.
Powder, please PM me if you are still interested.
