Target now has that wave, but the classic figures are $10.34. The 2k12 figures were marked down to $7.99 I think. I didn’t see Rahzar or Super Shredder, but the others you listed were there.

I can’t believe Playmates is going to re-release the Shellraiser when Shellheads want more classic mutants like Anthrax, Scratch, Hot Spot, Scaletail, Merdude, and King Lionheart. I’m also wondering where Metalhead is. Playmates could make a fortune off of the Undercover Turtles, Shogun Turtles, Dino Turtles, and etc. etc.. They need to get on the ball and leave the 2k3 and 2k12 lines behind (or at least, give it awhile).

I still think Playmates is insane for not just repainting Genghis and giving the full Punk Frog set.

Especially when they have repainted Splinter for the Mirage and Movie Star sets.

As a kid, that would have been awesome. Now, can't say I much care, but I can see how people who are still collecting might.

That should have been the first Target exclusive 4-pack.

Totally agree.

I'm generally not one to complain about toy companies online but geez when it comes to these reissues Playmates somehow manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory at nearly every turn.

Shellraiser is out. Saw it a couple days ago at Target. It’s also on their site in and out of stock.

Saw the latest wave of TMNT toys. Rahzar is either not in the case or he is the rarest of the case.

Saw 3 pizza throwers on clearance for 19.99 at one Target. Had been replaced on the shelf by Shellraisers.

That’s weird. It’s $38.49 on the Target website.

That’s not unusual, Target doesn’t sync store clearance on their website. Typically means the stores will no longer restock it and need the shelf space, but Target will continue to sell it at full price.

Perfect idea.... Seems so obvious now that you said it that Playmate's "Nostalgia Cash Grab Team" has an epic fail on their hands for not doing it.

I look at these rereleases at my store yesterday and shook my head in shame. I think even knockoffs have done a better job than playmates. looked at 2012 shredder and his face was completly painted tan behind the mask, no eyes.

That’s as bad as Bebop’s legs and sneakers being painted black.
