Ahhh.... Yes.... Mutations Variations Now Out!

Yep, you herd it, just when you thought the spending was over, Playmates has a Mutations variation out. Sorry I don't have pictures but once you guys see them at your local Wal-mart, you will notice easily.

These variations are exactly the same front and back as the older ones but the difference is that there is a sticker on the bubble showing how they mutate now and the ooze inside comes with a sticker wraped around it saying "mutations ooze."

Something weird I noticed. Usually the figures which ship in packs of 10 or whatever come in that regular brown box. These, however, were not hung up, they were in one big box that was not brown....instead the boxes had the logo on them and the traditional yellow-to-green shell pattern. Interesting....

(P.S. sorry to contribute to your wallets losing some weight, but hey, someone has to do it!)

Hey, it's your own fault if you're sucker enough to buy every variation. I'll probably end up buying one Mutation figure.. but mostly because I'd like to have the Ooze. [/i]

Roseangelo, the ooze is awesome ^_^. Infact, I haven't touched my Mutatin' Leo for about a week... but I still whip out the Ooze every couple days XD.

It's like the old Retromutagen Ooze they made... It is a big like Gack though, but more runny and sticky.

And I presonally find it makes better farting noises . .

Welcome? Oh believe you me. I have been tracking these damn variations since around that time Rat King and the rest on his card have came around. Never had any internet or forums to help me out though. This site really helps alot. Now I'm just a college kids with out a job and cannot afford the variations. At best, I wil wait until they go on sale er or something....

Totally agree with you Putrescent. Variation huntin' is fun, even if you don't buy them. They're always fun to look at. I'll be checking today. If I see these, I'll at least pick up a Leo. I'll get a photo up If I find one. Thanks for the head up guys!

The ooze is more like Gooze than Gak. It's not as runny as Gooze, but not as stiff as Gak.

Here are some shots of the "transforming" stickers. They're all that's different with the packaging.



As for the box that contains the new figures, it breaks down into a display shelf to contain the figures (I think it was 20 or 24 figures in the case)... four rows and the card bottoms slid into little slots... rather nicely packaged for a simple retailer package that would be thrown away in most stores if they're trying to keep their TMNT shelf space down.

Didn't get any pix of this... people were looking at me strangely enough when I was photographing action figure boxes with my digital camera.

I actually bought mine yesterday..

Turns out I have one of the "new" ones.



You'll have to excuse the crappiness of the photo, all I have to use at the moment is my extremely old webcam.

they actully are the same old toys with just a few new parts which makes them special edition re-issues to me so I got them anyways. The Foot Soldier is my fave because its got a foot tech head and we havnt gotten a foot tech action figure yet this might be as close as we get.
