How much were they a pop?

I know I shouldn't get them out of principle...but still...I am a Teenage Mutant Ninja Toyslut.

*VaughnMichael* · 08-25-2007, 12:59 PM

you really shouldnt they're the same exact figures with parts that attach they do move or something though and I believe they where 10.99 or more each.

*Roseangelo* · 08-25-2007, 04:44 PM

I saw Leo and Raph today. I also got pics on my phone, which I can upload later.

It's kinda interesting that the Playmates site doesn't even have Mike and Don pictured and the only ones that have been spotted are Raph and Leo.

Saw these last week at Target, they were $9.99 there. They had 3 of each turtle (so mike and don are out). It has a little sticker for the big foot mail away on the front of the packaging. I almost bought Leo but then remembered it doesn't count until after september first. These are going to pegwarm just as much as the rip cord turtles so I suggest waiting if you want these and get them after september first so you can use them for the mail away.

Another thing I noticed was the TMNT logo was in gold. Dunno what's up with that but it was sorta neat.

What's the sticker for? Is it to mail away or is it just adverising the Mail-Away? Thanks

Here are my camera phone pics:

heh thanks rose what kind of cell do you have? I have a verizon and have no idea how to get my pics off of my cell!

*Roseangelo* · 08-25-2007, 11:16 PM

It's a RAZR, but I have Cingular/AT&T. I use bluetooth to get my pics off. I believe Verizon disables their phones so that you have to email them to yourself to get them off the phone (with whatever charges are involved in that).

No you have to go to their website and log on to get them off your phone. My roommate has them and that's what he has to do.

Interesting, I didn't see the sticker on the figures you saw rose. The sticker is just a picture of bigfoot that says see website or inside for details.

I posted this a while ago, actually.

I really don't even have to say anything. Those 2 statements pretty much sum up the entire 2k3 TMNT line. They had a good going at first but opted for looney pointless varients that peg warmed and killed the line, not to mention they made the toys we REALLY wanted scarce due to the multiple varients in a pack with one Triceriton and one Baxter or something.

I still wonder if this signifies the death and burial of the FF line?

You do realise if it wasn't for playmates TMNT would be an obscure B&W comic book that no one would remember.

I think that, other than the rediculous varients and pointless crap like that, they usually did do a good job. I think the Movie figures could have been better sculpted/painted. but all and all, better than some of Mattel's recent stuff. Not even talking about the lead paint issue.

*Revan* · 08-30-2007, 12:39 PM

You know, I bashed these figures in another thread because they are a stupid idea, but something about seeing them in the packaging makes me weak. I think I will end up buying them in the end even though I think they are rediculous.

Nooo! You must resist! Purchasing these things only encourages them to make more crap!

I say bring on the toys and i'll buy whatever they throw at me, i mean hey i didnt come as far as i have collecting to stop now...i guess thats how they make there money though with the collectors that feel like they have to have everything lol (thats me) ...it's kind of like the whole beanie baby thing they would just add like a hat or something and just call it new......so at least playmates is putting in a little more thought than that...allthough i do agree the old tmnt line is awesome! and will probably never be beat out!

*Roseangelo* · 08-30-2007, 06:47 PM

You can still be a completeist if Playmates makes good TMNT toys instead of crappy ones.
