Playmates Toys Toon Turtles 4 Figure Bundle

Toon Turtles 4 Figure Bundle Toy Multicolour, Original Toon Turtles from 1993, Figures stand 4.5” Tall and comes with original accessories.

Pics of the box set: https://www.rideontoys4u.co.uk/toon-...lticolour.html

There is no word on when these will reach the US, but they should maintain the retail price of the Sewer Sports 4-pack.

That's a legitimately interesting set. The figures have never been re-released before and they're not all that cheap to get complete, let alone MOC, on the secondary market.

A good move by Playmates?

Jeez, something finally comes up in the UK first but then sells out immediately!

Why do these toy companies insist on making such limited quantities of stuff the fans want...

Mike is a different color, so I guess we can expect the other releases to be inconsistent as well.

This absolutely paves the way for possible releases of the cloth trenchcoat figures.

Hmm, those toon turtles look like they come with their little TVs in the lower right corner of the blister even...

Interesting, interesting.

I don't check this forum for one single day and I miss a damn WM preorder. Oh well, I have the originals anyway. Probably should just keep away from all the rest of these. Those vintage cards tho.

Was there ever any more info released for these? Like preorder info or anything? I missed this set back in the day (think I had Raphael) would love to make up for lost time.

Ordered the foot cruiser set out of FOMO since these seem to go out of stock quick...act first, ask questions and sell if necessary later...

Also noticed the Walmart sewer heroes set was back up so ordered that, too, for same reason.

Earlier this year I bought the villain set with Krang, Baxter, and Slash. That was a good set. I'm kind of disappointed with the character selection of the Mutagen Man Wingnut/Screwloose release. I wish they would do a set with maybe Casey, General Traag, and the Rat King.

I figure regardless of the letdown on Mutagen Man it's still nice to be able to get a solid base figure with a new, perfectly clear tank on him to use with my vintage accessories. Anyway, I don't plan to open these.

Also my set came today (the foot cruiser). Thanks to Amazon's increasingly thin box cardboard and lack of packing material, or thanks to their increasing disregard for product handling, or both, it's got some impact damage on the slipcover and actual box.

I think i will order the toon four pack. gonna pass on the others. I just dig the sillyness of them and it's not somethign that is likely to be reproduced by NECA or Super 7. Also, as a kid I never had the toon figures so I guess there is some sense of longing there.

A lot of these other reissues though... I think the time is passed where I am the market for these. I already have a bunch of reproductions and I'm not interested in getting more particularly when they aren't doing it justice (missing weapons, etc.) The NECA and Super 7 stuff is more my jam.

Now, when the time comes that Playmates decides they want to do all-new figures, like say based on the Rogen movie, or some future show, then yeah, i'll be paying attention.

I'll likely grab the toon set as well once it hits since I've only got two of those and only one is complete.

It's exciting to see them branch out past the initial wave or two finally. This superhero pack really makes me hopeful for some deeper cuts like the Universal turtles (I know I know, licensing) and Scratch and Hot Spot.
