Well, four and an accessory set but fingers crossed. Hopefully Super7 will clarify if this is an ongoing change or a one off when the officially put these up.

Well done! I missed every single one
I'm guessing Scratch is the one Brian was referring to when he said people would go bananas. But I'm curious what happened to the character that didn't appeared in the vintage line. I guess he could have been referring to the Mousers/accessory set but then the Mouser did get a figure in the old line so that doesn't feel right. Guess whoever it was got shifted back. |

Playmates today would have made a 7-pack of Mousers, but the pack-ins included with the Ultimate Mousers kind of make up for the absence of the two Mousers. |

These all look SO GOOD. I'll be skipping the mousers and variant Mikey but even those look fantastic (Mikey is tempting).
I love the alt head for Slash. I won't be displaying him with it but it's really good. I wish the belt wasn't so purple, as I never had the purple belt, but it's not a deal-breaker by any means. I wonder if they'll manage to figure out a way to give his barbed nunchuk a chain. Ace Duck is fantastic. The alt head is perfect and I like the option that separate goggles allow. The tommy gun is also a perfect touch for the character. It's also impressive that they're giving us a separate hole-less jacket just in case we want a clean look without the wings attached. Scratch. Ooooo, Scratch. This will unfortunately be my first Scratch figure and I'm super pumped. It won't kill my desire to track down the vintage figure but it will certainly help. I reeeeally hope that ball and chain is detachable though. I don't want that to be a permanent fixture, it will get in the way on the shelf. These reveals are always so bittersweet. It's going to be a year+ before we actually have these in-hand. Ugh. Collecting in 2021. It does beat having to battle scalpers at the local Target though! |

I have been sitting out this entire series (only one I have is GITD Baxter) but I'm in for the mousers, because the original toy was both a turd and also hard to get in good shape now, and Scratch, because I never see myself splurging on the vintage figure.

I still don't understand what the all new never before seen in toy form reference was supposed to be. |

You can say the Mousers on a technicality, but I do think they were referring to another figure and the waves just got shuffled (if I recall correctly the new character in wave 6 was mentioned in the same interview or round of interviews where Usagi was mentioned as in the works before they later said the rights were now held up, so there's been some shuffling of figures between waves)

I ordered 2 Slash figures so I can repaint one to look like the Archie Slash.

I'm so hyped for this wave, it's not good. Wave FOUR is still months away. This is wave SIX. Guhhhhh. I'm not even sure we'll have it in-hand in 2022! |

Absolutely in love with with the wave. Skipped the mousers however as it doesn’t have a lot of value for me. One is enough with Baxter for my display purposes. Totally stoked on absolutely everything else.

I’m glad they up-ed the wave to 5 figures for those who don’t want the variant turtle…something I started talking about pages ago. Going by the official group shots, it seems like the mousers were a last minute addition. I wonder if they were intended to be a retailer exclusive that fell through? Regardless, I’m glad they are coming and I ordered a full set of the wave direct from S7 and then two more mouser sets from BBTS. I didn’t think I would go for the variant turtles, but Samurai Leo last wave is too good and this Mikey came out awesome. Can’t wait for undercover Don, and that will tip my hand into buying space cadet Raph, which I don’t have interest in as a concept, but I can’t just buy three out of the four turtles! I hope Mikey’s color matches his normal figure to give us a few more head swap options.
