Some in hand comparisons have shown up: https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck58SR3uvrG/

Not-Leo is about 4.75 inches tall - roughly the same scale as the Playmates 2012 line.

Does Fury charge your card automatically once the item (e.g. "Not-Leo") arrives?

I do remember depositing $5 a few months ago, but not sure if I created an account.

Paid for mine pretty much immediately after the e-mails went out, and it shipped.

I hope I like it, but even if I'm not a big fan, I already decided I'm getting their Splinter no matter what. And probably the accessory pack with the baby turtles too.

The baby turtles aren't included with Mouse Master?

Does anyone know why BigBadToyStore is taking forever to get the FuRay Planet Hunter Crocker figure in stock?

I received a shipping notice for Spring Turtle (not Leo) Hopefully I'll have him in hand within the week.

It does not appear that it does as they showed some supplementary parts pack promos and they were shown there.

The more I look at this Leo, the more I am unhappy about the small size. The price seemed reasonable when I thought it would be closer in size to the other turtle lines but it's much smaller. So you're paying 50 plus shipping for a figure that scales with Playmates basic figures... eek.

It just kinda makes me sad that you can't display these with your NECAs or SHF and some other turtle lines because they don't make sense size-wise. I think that was a big mistake and after reading comments around the web, most people agree.

These were initially marketed as 1/12 scale figures. Do you consider Playmates basic line to be 1/12 scale? Well... it's not. Not even close.

Discussion about this figure now that it is in-hand has largely been about the small size, instead of other aspects you'd expect like quality of paint, articulation, etc.... that says it all right there.

Shipping update - mine is actually moving via UPS, shipped from Baldwin Park, CA. Expected to arrive December 6th.

As for the scale, based on what I've seen - Leo is like half an inch too short for my liking (which would put him around 5'2" in 1/12 scale), with him being 4.75 inches tall, he's closer to 4'9".

I always think of the turtles as being smaller than most people and around 5' tall thanks to the original file cards and RPG, but it seems like a lot of folks were expecting these figures to be 5.5-6" tall.

Mine finally started moving and is scheduled for the 6th as well.

Now I wonder how much longer it'll be before pre-orders for Splinter and Donnie go up.

Just got Leonardo in, and while I'm gonna give him a couple of hours to get to room temperature before really fiddling with him, I really like how he's turned out so far. The detail and paint decos are amazing, and the soft goods turned out better than I thought they would as well.

I'm so sad I missed out on not-Leo, would really like to get one. Hopefully he'll get a re-release, the thought of looking for him on the aftermarket makes me nervous.
