The texturing on Wingnut almost makes him look flocked. |

I think I would get Wingnut & Screwloose just because I like the little buddy figs. Mayyybe Zak too if I have the money later on.

Yeah, those two are probably still the biggest omissions, but it's nice to be getting more of the early mutants. I think you might be on a bit of an island with Zak, haha. He looks great but I'm not sure how heavily he'll be ordered. Don is strange in that it's now the third variant subset that Super7 has started without finishing any, but a variant is probably a given for every wave and the sports turtles make sense to be the third I guess? Who knows. And yeah, I'd guess flocked Splinter will be an easy pass for the vast majority of people, but he's that bonus 5th figure so we can't really get mad about him.
People will though, I'm sure! |

Much better wave this I must say. Wingnut is the definite winner here for me. Waves 5-8 have been very expensive here overseas so it will be interesting to see how much these will cost.

Scumbug looks pretty cool, although I would've liked to see him a little bigger. Wingnut and Screwloose look fantastic, and I love the Batman and Robin homage. It also looks like Wingnut's wings are seperate pieces from his prosthetic wings, so that's amazing! Fuzzy Splinter is ok...never really been a fan of flocked characters, but that extra head with pupils looks so much better to me. Donnie looks cool, but I have no interest at all in him, and Zak.....eh.

just to lay it out plainly, when this line dropped only two years ago, a wingnut and screwloose would have cost $45. now it's $75.
that is a SIXTY SEVEN PERCENT increase in price in just two years. 67%! enough is enough. |

Wingnut/Screwloose are two figures. I suppose Super7 justification is that Screwloose is about the size of snarf, which sold for $55 (which can be further justified considering that the resin Snarf and Snarfer models sold for around $70 or $80, respectively by Amaro Studios a few years earlier). |

This is Super7 being dumb with their prices again, pure and simple. Why else would Scumbug be $65? |

Didn't catch those prices until a few minutes ago.
Yeah, this line will be done soon. |

I was just thinking today that Wingnut would make a great addition to this collection. Also, I was today years old when I realized that he and Screwloose are supposed to resemble Batman and Robin. That was completely lost on me until now.

Just got two emails from Super7: one about preordering this wave and one about "Limited Stock" Wingnut & Screwloose. "Snag your treasure while it’s still in stock. Once it's gone, it may never come back."
Please. I'm getting reeeeally tired of these companies trying to push FOMO as their sole business model. |

The FOMO is real. Mad Hatter Reviews recently heard a rumor that Super7 is having some trouble maintaining the TMNT license. If you look closely at Dunker Don, all the colors have been swapped. Perhaps, Playmates is giving them a hard time. |

But dang, you're right about the glitch. I just ordered the whole wave for $229.50. I tried different variations and couldn't get a discount for anything but all five, so all five it is I guess. |
