They don't have a specific name if I remember correctly. Each package just has the character's name. I almost overlooked them when I glanced at them because I thought they were just the regular turtle figures until I stopped and noticed the paint differences.

Thank you, now I know what to look for. Both my Target and Walmart are zero as far as new figures. Seems more like a paint variant similar to Stockman fly's blue pants or black bebop than an actual release for new figures.

Hello to all fellow tmnt fanatics (1st post) thanks for letting me join the community! I have most figures from past and present toy lines. I don't know if this is the right place for this but have a quick question; I've just now noticed the two shades of blue on Baxter fly. One purchased from Walmart the other sent from Amazon. I like the navy as it looks show accurate but can anyone tell me if there is a difference or preference? Thanks

P.s I almost spent 35 on serpent karai to have her ahead of time but I emailed playmates and they said back shipment should be about 4-6 weeks then we will see her in US retail stores. Hopefully sooner

Baxter has 2 colors of pants. I'm not sure what one is rarer. Personally I like the lighter blue.

Back Shipment? That's why Karai was held back? Sounds like a load. Oh well, otherwise I am just waiting for the figure. I was about to buy her from Ebay just to say I had her. I will just wait then, I might regret it, who knows, I am just rolling the dice

Thank you for the information friend and welcome to the technodrome.

I prefer the dark pants Stockman. The lighter one is okay I just like the navy blue color.

For those of you looking to get Karai early, why not just ask one of the Brits here to pick one up? She's widely available over here, and will set you back a lot less than $35 (with shipping, she shouldn't cost more than $23-24).

Hi guys, I'm a Brit here. Servant karai is really hard to find in the UK at the moment. I was lucky to find one in Asda (Walmart) but have not seen her before or since.

I am so pissed the Monkey Brains figure is based on Rockwell's first appearance in season 1 instead of Dr Rockwell the mighty mutanimal. Why does Playmates have to mess up character figures.

Yeah, I'd prefer a Mutanimals Rockwell. And by prefer I mean buying, the Monkey Brains figure didn't look all that.

They just need to throw in the helmet and clip on arm parts below the handcuffs, otherwise the figure looks just fine to me. It would leave the Kraang symbol on the belt. I would be more concerned about the paint job at this point.

Here is a couple of pics that show what I am talking about:

the difference is Monkey Brains had chains on his arms and around his waist. Doctor Rockwell has a krang helmet and gloves on.

The (almost) Mighty Mutanimals.


I like the Monkey Brains figure as he is. Ok, the scales are out on pall of these guys, but they are still decent figures.
I'm sure that Playmates will box these guys up at some point, add a helmet and change the arm adornments on MB to market them as the team. Maybe even add in a Pigeon Pete.
Till then, the Monkey as released is the Monkey Brains version, and looking good. The Rockwell is a different incarnation, and does deserve its own figure.

Playmates told me we're most likely not getting Pigeon Pete He was one of my favorite Mutanimals and one of the most hilarious characters on the show.

We need Pete! Because he is a Mutanimals member. If it weren't for that, I'd probabably not care much... but please let us complete the team, Playmates.

Playmates doesn't complete teams, apart from the Turtles, though even that's not always the case. Jim Lee Leo, there is no room for you in this world...
