I've not opened mine up yet, and decided that if Don was fixed, I may leave the one in the package and open the corrected version.

When I purchased Donatello for my sister, way back in September, the eyes were perfect.

Cool! Mine is a first batch from when they released (ordered directly from Playmates), somehow the paint job on Don's right eye makes him look googly-eyed and was the only true complaint for the line.

You're the first who has claimed to have seen a straight-eyed Don that I've came across; I've refrained from buying another for fear it'll be like the first (I already had to buy a second Don for the normal line due to a shoulder joint have too much plastic in the arm and stretching the joint open).

I got a straight eyed Don as well.

Glad I could help man... I was kinda of floored when I saw it... I had no money on me and had to scrounge what I had to buy it there was no way I was letting a non-lazy-eyed Donatello get away...

A bunch of others reported finding 'normal' Don figures months back. Hardly any by comparison to those who've found the crap ones, though.

Big thread on 4chan of people complaining that they can't find Don in stores anywhere! It's a pandemic!

Ran around to a couple of Targets yesterday and it seemed they all had the 4 Turtles and A Fish Face or two along with Kraangs and April. Everyone else was missing though

The target near me has ONLY Kraang figures...there's at least 20 of them on the pegs. Guess they're the worst selling/least popular figure.

I emailed playmates about Donatello and they said to be watching for their last shipment of the year to arrive at stores in the next 10-15 days. Hopefully there are some Dons to be found.

Are you guys talking about the nickelodeon Don or classic Don? Because when the toys were first released, poor old Donnie was always on the shelves. The other turtles however, were always gone.

Nick don! Either he's skyrocketed in popularity (would not surprise me) or he's being shortpacked in some of the new case assortments

plasticturtle · 12-15-2012, 03:08 PM

It makes me glad I got my Nick Don way back when the line first hit shelves.

I own two. He's great but they're all great, so

I just feel kinda bad for the Don fans out there who are having trouble locating him.

Yeah, that does stink for anyone still looking for him. I also got mine when they first hit stores (he was the first figure I bought). Donnie is my favorite figure, and it's not just because he's my favorite turtle. The sculpt is great, he's the tallest, I love the shade of green on him, and the brown weapons are nice. All of his accessories are great, especially the throwing stars and the naginata.

Donnie was one of the first three figures I bought. They were fresh out of Mike so I had to go to Toys R Us to find him. I got Raph, Leo and Donnie at Wal Mart. I feel bad for anyone who still needs Don and is having trouble finding him. I wonder if Don is just that popular or if he's shortpacked in favor of Dog Pound, Fish Face or Metalhead. Does anyone know?

Well that's good for you, but like I said playmates could do a better worldwide distribution

*miru* · 12-15-2012, 10:30 PM

Will there be figures of Pigeon Pete, that monkey scientist dude, Spiderbytez, Hamato Yoshi (pre-mutation), or Alopex?

*Powder* · 12-15-2012, 11:49 PM

No way. None of 'em.

Forneus · 12-16-2012, 10:23 AM

Still haven't located one of my missing figures but I am pretty happy about getting a Don if he's getting rare. I hope everyone will eventually locate all the ones they are missing. Playmates must get on that, stat.

I'm talking about the Nick Don also. I have 2 that I bought before for my collection, one loose and the other MOC. I may just give my friend's children my MOC for Christmas and hope that I find one for my collection after the holidays. I'm a big fan of Don's figure too! It was the first figure I got from the nick line.
