Will this be Mirage TMNT figures? Because the TMNT cartoon didn't even exist when Stranger Things is currently set.

It's so weird how this Stranger Things show became so popular especially with long year breaks between seasons.

I'm guessing this will be similar to the Cobra Kai and Street Fighter 2-packs. It'll be a Stranger Things character paired with a turtle.

It's beyond parody at this point. Each one of these packs go on clearance too.

Do they?

I only ever see them at Target, and they tend to be full price there. Can't attest to other stores that sell these.

Never once seen them on clearance in store.

Several of the recent packs are on sale on dorkside right now, just to give one example. They do go on clearance, but if you don't pay attention to lots of stores then you may not know that.

The Cobra Kai packs are on deep clearance on amazon right now. Etc.

I don't get this crossover at all. Is it like the Street Fighter crossover, in which they sold a two pack with a TMNT figure and a Street Fighter figure? Because I kind of have a hard time imagining there being enough TMNT fans who also want a Stranger Things toy with their purchase, or vice versa for that matter. Or will they be selling some kind of hybrid figure, like the old Star Trek ones?

Seen on Twitter...

Watch these just be the same turtle figures packaged UPSIDE DOWN in the box. Lol. And as stupid as that sounds you could totally see Playmates doing that couldn't you?

I thought they were just lazy, but now I think they might be dumb.

They are literally trying everything, aren't they? Honestly, it's hilarious to see them try to throw so much at the wall to see what sticks and nothing lands.

Meanwhile, NECA is putting out those Monster Movie crossovers and those are doing super well. (Which those aren't my thing, but even people that don't collect TMNT I know are all over those)

The TMNT VS Real Ghostbusters or Street Sharks would be the only crossovers I'd buy from Playmates.

Well, everybody else does. Which is kind of the point I'm thinking.

Playmates most likely thinking; "They're using Tarzan Boy which was on Turtles III so let's make a collaboration!"
