I honestly do not remember seeing an Irma figure.

Did they do one for Zach, the Fifth Turtle?

I don't think there was ever figures of either of those.

And yes I would hope Slash would come with some kind of little palm tree.

definatley the Movie star turtles, i would loves to get those again

*Bry* · 02-27-2003, 09:38 PM

I'd go with Fugitoid. I'd love to see a Slash figure too, but its more likely that we'll see Fuge in the new show.

I'd want to see Leatherhead again, but done to scale. No way he'd be coming on a blister card, the new Leatherhead should be in a box he's so big! BWHAHAHAHAH!

Definetly at least 10 inches long, maybe even 12 inches, but that might be tooo big, so 10 inches seems jsut right.

Yeah, I know right? No way a mutant aligator is smaller then a mutant turtle. That, & I think his size was listed ast 12' long on the figures bio-card, yet the toy is like 5 inches long.

They should have just made him huge & sold him in a box instead of on a blister card (as I mentioned above).

Hey, Shellfox: Is that Icky from Dinosaucers as your avatar? I remember that show, even taped like 5 or 6 episodes off of USA's Dino-Power-Hour a few years back. Very cool stuff.

Well, from figures I have with their TRU & KB toys price tags still on the cards, TRU charged $3.99 for TMNT figures & KB toys charged $5.99 a figure. If your in canada & you bought them at a more expensive store, then I could see 'em being 8.99 or so.

It's called inflation.

Well, how much did KB toys charge for the figures when they re-released a bunch of stuff back in 2000-2001? I seem to recall the figures being about $3.99-or-$5.99 each, but am not 100% sure. I think they might've been $5.99 originally, then were red-slashed to $3.99. Does anyone remember this?

Thats very true. Most of the figures go for like $15-to-$20 MOC, so $7.99 would be a deal in a way. But, the original figures didn't exactly include crazy-amounts of bonus features that should make 'em so much money. Hell, most figures now a days cost $7.99 on average, that used to never happen, or rarely happen, back when we were kids. I think it all started with Jurassic Park figures. I remember all action figures being about $3.99-$4.99 a pop, then JP toys come out & human figures cost $5.99 & carded Dinos cost $9.99

Ever since then they've been going up & up. As it is now, the cheapest figures on the market are TMNT figures at $5.99 a pop. Sure there are other toy lines that cost less, but none of them are fully articulated action figures like the turtles are. Just wish MotU figures would loose those dam sensor chips in their feet- maybe the cost of the chips is what is making them $7.99 a pop?

I'd like to see Ace Duck he was soooooo cool...............

Donatello02 · 03-04-2003, 02:08 PM

Mutagen Man. Can't get too many Mutagen Mans I always say. And for the 20 year anni, they should rerelease the original turtles in like a four pack or something.

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 03-14-2003, 10:38 PM

The Mutations figures complete with a comic-accurrate version of Splinter(as in ordinary rat, not Hamato Yoshi).
Also actual figures of Hamato Yoshi, Oroku Nagi, and Tang Shen would be cool, as well as an unmaskable Shredder/Oroku Saki. In case anyone wants to act out the TMNT origin story.

Someone Mentioned an Irma figure.
If you look here...

You'll find there were indeed figures of Irma, Vernon, and even Burne Thompson.

*Jephael* · 03-17-2003, 06:55 AM

I still have Toon Irma, but I gave my Toon vernon to my cousin Joe. Never got Toon Burne t hough cause I kinda hated that character for bashing the TMNT so much, and on their own show no less.

Leatherhead

Zak

Dask

Burne

Irma

Vernon

Kala

I think they should do a leatherhead standing on 2 feet, like the one at the top, and redo a triceraton figure

The_Realest · 03-17-2003, 10:59 PM

Awesome-looking Leatherhead custom. You should post that pic in the official "Customs" thread.

Mondo_Gecko · 03-17-2003, 11:03 PM

Is that what it's called a custom? Cool I learn stuff everyday. Anyway i love that Leatherhead that is so cool.
