It's a Christmas miracle in February. One of the 5 toy stores on my city had Mozar, bebop and Fugitiod, it wasn't TRU (they are still filled with purplebacks and OotS figures). but one of the non-brand stores that have changed names like 15 times last year, and the action figure aisle is like a 5ft tall 3ft wide stand and two pegs was TMNT while the rest was transformers and Superheroes.

Didn't buy any of them, though, not when they are $20 a pop.

From TMNT Play FB page:

All packed up and ready for #NewYorkToyFair! Who is meeting us there?! #TMNT #IsThatMuckman?

Still skeptical until I see in-hand photos of Muckman in stores

Missing paint aps? Now he looks ready for a retail release!



Kidding, of course. The sculpt alone is worth a purchase in this case IMO.

I bet he gets the same retail presence Human Karai, by which I mean none because she never showed up in any of my stores, got. On the plus side if he actually shows up in stores, he doesn't look drastically under-scaled.

Reminds me of this for some reason. Although I doubt it's that thoughtful of a pose.

Hopefully it's an attachment in package. Crazy if they scrapped it completely.

that's another reason I scrapped playmates the lack of paint. What is the point of a garbage monster like Muckman if you don't paint the trash that is stuck to him

Can't have a naked mutant on the shelves! Parents would speak out!

In this case, decency won out over financial expediency.

Can't wait to see better quality pic of Monster Hunters, renewed R&B and Usagi line (that one not so much, looks pretty awful already ^_^U)

Oddly enough Micro Mutants Mondo has unpainted pants and it looks weird. I've been sorta tempted to get some paint and paint up some of the omitted details.

I picked up the rest of the pet turtle sets finally. Oddly enough, the Raph and Donnie sets don't come with a third unarticulated unpainted "practice" dummy like DVD's version and they all required placing stickers in some spots. I had a bit of trouble getting them aligned, but I probably did it just as good as the factory probably would have...

Pet Raph has the worst portability and storage, where am I supposed to put the cage and projectile w/ gun? The foot soldier door is kinda lame because the foot soldier is just an unpainted bump.

Pet Donnie isn't too gimmicky compared to the other sets, but has decentish storage.
