Do the packages say "colors and styles may vary" anymore? 'Cause that'd be their out if so.

Check out the recent posts on Facebook. I just read this person's commentary on Playmates' mission statement, and he's right. They have completely went against it.

It says Product may vary on the box. I don't think it says anything about color or styles.

Aside from the green tongues, they do have a nice appearance. I was gonna get them but a lot of people said theirs had loose limbs, which put me off.

They're really nice figures, but yeah, the QC is iffy on them. My Leo's right arm is weak and can't hold itself up, and one of the katanas can't even stay in the sheath. Although they're more show accurate, I prefer the originals.

My biggest problem with them is they are not flat footed.

And had the Mystic figures been like the Basic Battle Shells, I'd be all over them. And its not much that sets them apart. It's lack of wrist swivel articulation (except Mystic Leo) and painted wraps.

The minor issues besides that would easily have been tolerable.

The Mystics are nice, but not nice enough for the price tag they come with.

The limbs ob all of mine are fine.

I messaged diamond select toys and they said the Casey Jones mini mate will come with an extra head.

I must have exchanged very turtle multiple times til I found some with tight joints and it was so weird some of them couldn't stand very flat. I got the inside of their mouths painted, but the paint doesn't stay on very well.

Hey all,
In the UK we've got some new action figure two packs, images are in he UK sightings thread here:
http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/sho...&postcount=808

Leo/Bebop
Leo - the figure is a repaint of the AT-3 driver figure with the wave 1 turtle head.
Bebop - An inverted paint scheme, purple suit, black hair.

Mikey/Rocksteady
Mikey is the hot rod figure with the wave 1 mikey head, Rocksteady has a gold vest and weapons with darker camo trousers

Raphael/Shredder
Raph appears to be a repaint of the shell bike wave 1 vehicle with a normal head and a big R on his shell. Shredder is the version 2 figure with blue trousers - a seemingly better painted head too.

(No Donny Love and he's my favourite)
They retail for £15.
Interestingly, in the UK we're not expecting R and B, normal figures until April.

Yeah, that's good, Mikey. I don't even trust you with a driver's license.
