What basic figures have You skipped buying?

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 06-28-2005, 08:39 PM

I don't buy turtle varians anymore and I had been looking for "Lobster" Shredder and I finally found him, but since he hasn't been on the show since season 1 and he just didn't look that great to me I skipped buying him. I skipped buying April, but then I got upset I didn't buy her. I finally found her again and grabed her off the store peg. She's pretty cool actually. Hope I don't regret not buying "Samurai Lobster Hands" cause I probably won't see him again.

Well as far as the regular figs go, I try not to skip em. If I can't find the character on a good card I pass on until I find one. So far I'm still keeping an eye out for Leatherhead, Gen Mozar, Foot Tech ninja, and I just found a good carded Triceratron Soldie today so he's off my need list

Only ones I'm missing from the 5" line is the $15 swat pack from TRU and then Gen, Blanque and Yoshi. Only other thing was that elite commando repaint 4pack. I'm OCD when it comes to collecting...a completionist.

most of the tmnt toys or action figures ive bought on the net, couse the toy stores were i live is not good with coming with the new collection.
its always the same toys and what a price.

I buy all basic figures, including turtle variants, but not the $10 deluxe figures. The worst turtle variants I think are "Ripped Up" turtles, which are the only variants I did not buy. They're only same basic turtle figures(except for different head sculpt) with weights packed with them. If they were Muscle Bound, that would be much better and worth buying. They would be a brand new sculpt: huge muscles with their shirts & pants ripping, like Incredible Hulk. My favorite variants so far are Deep Divin' Turtles since they look the coolest and come with cool accessories. The Sports turtles are my 2nd.

Aside freom the turtles, I try not to pass on any of the characters. Although I am still missing a lot of the Battle Nexus characters. And Hun, I don't really know why I haven't got around to buying him yet.

Jed · 06-29-2005, 04:20 PM

I intend to buy them all. The only ones I don't have are ones that aren't out here yet or I'm saving off from getting till my trip to the US. I have all the figures except:

Deep Divin'
Ripped Up
Robo Huntin
Monster Trappers
SWAT Raphael
Leo from Leo Vs. T-rex

Foot Tech Gunner
Ultimate Daimyo
Butterfly Swords
Gen
Hamato Yoshi
Feudal Japan Shredder
General Blanque

and I'll buy them all as soon as I can

I don't pass up any figures because I like them all. I only use them for display and I think every single figure looks good enough to own

Oh man, you gotta get Hun. I got 2 of him. He's a main character. He's Saki's right-hand man, big & bad with an attitude. I like him and wish he would squeeze Saki Utrom to death.

The only one I haven't bought are TMNT varients and Butterfly Swords....

The only basic figures I have not bought are the Turtle variants and Feudal Shredder(who I may end up getting anyway). I don't have Gen or Yoshi yet, but that's because I haven't seen them yet.
