Generally speaking, it is for larger figures $34.99 to $49.99 that are standalone and/or packed with exclusives (e.g. Metalhead, Rex-1, Muck Man, Alpha 1, Panda Khan etc.) or figures with some sort of licensing deal (e.g. Usagi, Panda Khan etc.)

Yes, Eddie and Shibano are in the toon, which is why I say I will pass on things *exclusive* to Saturday Morning Adventures e.g. Dark Turtles.

And yeah, he pretty much confirms the others are coming too in the video. Leo comes with an alternate lenticular for Donnie's portal generator that has Dark Leo looking through with two other turtles behind him in the shadows as a teaser.

He mentions Creepy Eddie and Shibano-sama made it into the line because they've also made appearances in IDW Saturday Morning Adventures comics which means they also work as a hook into the SMA sub-line. I'm not interested in that sub-line, personally, anything exclusive to the comic will be a pass.
If it was an exclusive to the comic then yes I would pass. Made more prominent because of the comic then yes its legit in the cartoon, obscure or not. That is just the way I will go about collecting as the line progresses.

Y’know I’m not sure there’s a market for this but but a FW/Urban Legends mashup might be fun. Cyborg Donnie, Shredder Raph, sword hand Leo. Not sure what you could do for Mike other than give him a red bandana lol.

But Pimiko and Lady Shredder would be fun too.

I can't believe it but I actually stumbled upon a Turtles in Disguise 4-pack at Target today. Not the new one with the punk turtles, but the original one with the trench coats and the masks.....

We might eventually get a gangsters pack but human characters other than Casey, April and Karai don't really tend to sell much.
One more long shot I’d love to see is Dippy the Diplodocus. But again, large/expensive figure with a generic design. Highly unlikely.
