Japanese Mutating Don, did heaps make it to the US as well?

Just wondering, here in Australia we were flooded with literally thousands of old skool Mutating Donatello's in Japanese packaging and I was wondering if they made it to other countries too?

These aren't knok off's they are 100% authentic playmates figures but can only just be distinguished from the originals. These Japanese ones have a mould defect on one foot and which is why they weren't sold back in the mid 90's in Japan. They have all their original weapons and even a neat little Japanese catalouge for the toys released that year. These are still available by the boxfull but I don't know how much longer they will be around.

If they aren't available in the US I can pick up a few and trade em for stuff not abundant here in Australia. I am looking for Triceratons ecspecially. They seem more available there in the States than over here.

These have also been popping up on Aus ebay for months now so I can give you a link to what one looks like.

The front and sides of the packaging are in english but the back panel is Japanese with the Japanese TMNT logo.
