Worms of Madness box set is on sale at Walmart for $30, so I snagged it.

Kind of disappointed that Shredder and Oroku Saki have different skin colors, was hoping to be able to do some crazy customs.

The worm accessory is hilarious.

I kind of wish there was more of a use of the TMNT logos of the era things are set in. For example, Tales Volume 2. How cool would it have been if every time there was a story around the time of Vol. 1 of Mirage it had the original Mirage "Tales of the TMNT" logo, but if it was around Vol. 2 then it had the Volume 2 logo (just with "Tales of the" added above it), and similar with Vol. 4-era stories.

Yeah, no affect on the story but stuff like that would have been a lot of fun. I remember when you convinced Berger to make Tales #70 fit the motif of the original RTNY covers.

I’m gettin mine tomorrow when I get paid, we got 4 at my store.

Not a peep from Toy Fair yet, except the Sakai stuff…

Is there going to be a whole Usagi line? I wouldn’t mind a Jei toy.

Otter · 02-15-2026, 02:18 AM

Ooh... nothing new for Mirage at Toy Fair.

That doesn't bode well.

There is 3 more days of Toy Fair, counting today.

I’m really hoping to see either more Fosco/Urban Legends figures or Archie TMNT, preferably future timeline variants. Neither are technically Mirage but close enough.

*ToTheNines* · 02-19-2026, 10:00 AM

Not a peep. We're cooked!

Yes it's a blessing that we got what we got with Urban Legends, but we definitely need the other two bros at an absolute minimum.

I wish they would have just done an Image 4-pack and got it over with. They led with the two exciting ones lol, the other two aren't going to be as big of a deal. I mean, they're a day one pre-order for me. They're just not that visually striking on a shelf for normies.

*Andrew NDB* · 02-19-2026, 10:26 AM

If the choice was either a Fosco Mike and Fosco Leo OR Fosco Pimiko and Fosco Bat-Splinter... I'd probably go the latter route.

Though what they can do is do a whole box set of the Image TMNT, but do the ORIGINAL Cyborg Don suit for Donnie and NON-Shredder Raph with the Casey mask for Raph, so as to differentiate from the existing Image figures. While still giving us Leonardo with a removeable arm-blade stump and a pretty normal Mike WITH Klunk and maybe a birthday/party hat included with him.

Daytona · 02-19-2026, 10:45 AM

Yup. The 4-pack sounds awesome. The cherry on top would be enlisting Fosco to do the box-art this time. We also need the black bandana look for Raphael if you ask me.

I see your point. Fosco style Leo and Mike would be easy enough custom heads to slap on Lawson turtle bodies, if it came to that.

That's a great idea for a 4-pack. Sign me up.

Yesss. That would be a nice alternate head.

Could someone point me to the best version of the 2008 bootlegs available for purchase?

Oh yeah, the black skullcap. Just as valid as Hockey Mask Raphael or burned eye Raphael, sure.

*IndigoErth* · 03-19-2026, 08:35 PM

Every now and then I look around for that Leo to see if it exists anywhere fairly priced like the others... which it never was and has only gotten worse. What is the reason for that even?

Most of the rest I've seen in Target at some point, but I guess they aren't ever putting the single figure Leo in stores, just jack up the price online instead. Seen the hunter one, but want the reg basic version.

Daytona · 03-29-2026, 12:04 PM

I find it interesting that Leo singles have gone up so much while the 4-pack is actually a pretty good deal for buyers currently.

I understand there are the extra accessories but they aren’t mind blowing ones and I figured there’d be inherent appeal to having all four in a bundle. Just found in surprising.

I was considering clearing space by selling my 4-pack and maybe just picking up a Leo or Raph when I realized I’d basically be losing too much money.

I don’t know if they’re still available, but they were on AliExpress.

*ToTheNines* · 04-30-2026, 06:44 PM

Get the fuck outta here. Nobody asked for that!

Even without counting Image/Urban Legends, there are like 20 or more Mirage figures that deserve a release before that. Not to mention, Archie, Toon, 2012 and couple holes in the 1990 line.

Ugh.

DonnieLaForge · 04-30-2026, 07:27 PM

I mean with choices like these that old chestnut about having to be smart about new tooling economics seems like an irrelevant argument nowadays eh?
