Not quite true. In the interim, during their Trek days, they did loads of box sets and teams. Mostly based on particular episodes or themes.
Recently we had the Leo evolution set, and the two movie generation sets. All three sets are pretty cool. They also released the four movie Turtles, the four Turtles and a box set of those dudes with Shredder and a Kraang. There was one with dojo Splinter and others.
I'm expecting the Mutanimals set with Ex Pigeon Pete!! I won't put money on it though .. Haha!

thanks for responses everyone im most likely gonna keep both stockmans like I did with the bebop variants. Target near me had Leo Don and Mike, Wolf series figures. one Walmart was wiped on shelves while Walmart in another town had a huge display for the mutation figures (seems like overstock; not selling well) all 4 mystics plus other repacks. Still waiting to come across a Karai, if not I will definitely be asking for international help.

I buy toys from a lot of different companies and I swear Playmates is the most ass backwards of them all.

Hun... First they have to get clearance from the estate of Bruce Lee haha!
Actually a Hun figure would attract other buyers as his character is blatantly based on Mr. Lee.

On the note of Baxters different colored trousers, they are both as good as each other in my opinion.

And Karai... I'm wondering if it ever shipped out as I see it all the time. Taking over my collection.....

I am kind of jealous of your Karai. The Karai for America is on a slow boat from China I believe, it will get here as soon as Playmates has announced the poor sales on the figure and will be released to our discount stores in scalper heavy territory.

Seriously though when is that figure going to be released aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, earlier today I found that my people at my store sold the TMNT Duct tape for $1 and I was there on the days they were there, 11 rolls. They didn't tell me and they know my collecting habits. I wasn't happy. Now I am reminded that playmates has still not shipped the Karai figure and I have come to the conclusion that this is on purpose to show how badly the figure sold so they don't have to make the human version.

Weird setup of human/snake head aside, Karai looks like the best figure they've released since the original wave.

I wonder if I can make a quick custom with Karai's human head and the body of one of the newest Marvel Legends Spider-Girl figures.

Both of those figures are sh*t.


Tigerclaw is great and Baxter Fly has a nice sculpt.

She'd be way too tall - she'd tower over Shredder, let alone the Turtles.

Why not use April as a base?

Eh, the April figure isn't really all that impressive. And I don't have the skills to add articulation to the April figure.

I guess even with Hasbro's female teen body, she'd be taller then Shredder, even Shredder 2, who is overall taller then wave 1 Shredder.

If the Muckman figure sucks I'll just get the vintage one. It looks enough like he does in the show.

I'm pretty much up to date with the collection so far minus a few vehicle exclusives and karai(she'll be next) can anyone tell me if the 4 redeco are part of a series or just random release? I picked them up but if they're not considered like series 12-13 I'm not sure that I'm gonna keep them. Thanks!

I gotta say, the more I have the Bebop figure in my hands the more I like him. I don't know if it's because he's quickly become one of my favorite characters on the show or if it's because the figure isn't really as bad as I initially thought.
