If any one still wants them, Amazon has the TMNT vs Cobra Kai packs cheap/cheaper. They have the Mikey/Danny pack for $17. I bought 2.

Appreciate the heads up. Missed this as well, didn’t see till it was too late. Ah well, I’m not too worried. Got my Mousers yesterday. Haven’t opened them yet but they look good in box.

Playmates will be coming out with some sort of TMNT/Stranger Things crossover/collab figures... toynewsi.com/216-43142My guess: these will be more like the past WWE and Ghostbusters figures, TMNT dressed up like Stranger Things characters. I could see April 11, Leo as Mike, Donnie as Dustin, Mikey as Will with a bowl cut, etc. If these end up being 2packs, I am curious what story the back of the box will have, explaining how the 2 groups meet.

I haven’t done a major deep dive into Turtles line despite that being my #1 thing as a kid. I did subscribe to the heavily delayed Loot Crate since I really would’ve loved the Bunny Rocksteady and Bebop from the year before.
I had looked recently to see what the story was why I had only gotten the first crate and saw there were really no answers. I was surprised in cleaning up my email yesterday that I had a shipping notice from like Thursday. Checking the tracking itself it said Crate 3, which is like the least desirable figure of the whole thing to me but good to get some movement. I saw some people supposedly never got their first crate either, so I probably should just be grateful I seem to be getting the few they’ve slowly and sporadically released.

I also got a shipping notice, but I’m not sure which crate(s) are on the way. I did get my first crate way back when, so I’m wondering if it’ll be the second one.

Got it today. Pretty lackluster. But atleast something is coming finally.

so we got crate 3 before crate 2?
that actually makes a whole ton of sense with the way this process has played out

Got it today. Pretty lackluster. But atleast something is coming finally. I actually feel like this crate may be stronger than the first one. Danny was nice, but way too short. This Claw Shredder is really unique, although it makes me wish I didn't miss regular Mirage Shredder. The Utrom fanny pack is ridiculous and I love it. The Eastman & Laird Raphael shirt is the highlight for me, it's really nice. I'll wear that for sure, compared to the long sleeve yellow movie logo from Crate 1 that I only wore around the apartment. Interested to see what becomes of future crates.

Speaking of Mirage, I preordered Casey and two Utrom robots off Big Bad. Might get two more Utroms if I have spare cash at some point.

Super7 offering new glow in the dark Turtles Ultimates...for a set at $65 each.
I'm convinced the only reason they offer new Ultimates is to raise the price each time.

My guess was wrong. The new TMNT/Stranger Things collab ARE 2packs... toynewsi.com/216-43418Cobra Kai, Street Fighter, Stranger Things... Does Playmates honestly think that the only way to sell these new licenses/figures is to cram in some Ninja Turtles? Is it a way of hedging there bets? Using one to carry the other over? The Cobra Kai figures using this method were honestly cool. The pairing made sense. I am a sucker for teamups and crossovers, so they had a bit of fascination for me. But trying to pull the same trick not just again, but thrice. The intrigue and specialness is not there anymore. As far as these new Stranger Things 2packs. Its another "might" pick up the Eleven set if/when it hits clearance. I do have to give some credit to Playmates, though; the packaging is cool.

That's the only reason I'm excusing Playmates for more 2-packs.

Toynewsi has a comedy/satire article about all of the TMNT 2packs... toynewsi.com/484-43451They are making suggestions and Its kinda funny; Breaking Bad, Minions, Golden Girls, Star Trek. We all know The Minions ones would already be out if they had the ability to do that. But the Star Trek ones I can easily see happening in the next few years. With both franchises being under Playmates, I can see re-releases of the original Star Trek crossover figures, updates of said figures, and the discussed random 2packs. There is also reporting of new retro sets from Playmates... toynewsi.com/216-43393news.toyark.com/2022/07/07/new-playmates-tmnt-box-sets-villains-sewer-heroes-and-toon-turts-473320Retro Villains: Foot Soldier, Leatherhead, Mutagen Man, Wingnut and Screw Loose Toon Turtles: Toon Don, Toon Leo, Toon Mikey, Toon Raph Sewer Heroes: Mighty Bebop, Super Don, Super Mike, Rhinoman Out of these new sets, the only one I have any interest in is the Toon Turtles. I had the Mikey figure as a kid. But man, I never realized just how creepy/freaky looking those Toon Turtles are. Mikey looks ok, but Leo is borderline nightmare fuel with the last 2 not being far behind.

Leo/Picard Raph/Riker Mikey/Worf Don/Data if it was like "deluxe" versions of the ST guys I'm 100% in on those With Star Trek getting a wide release by Playmates, I don't see future two packs being that awesome. What I could see are 2packs of TMNT in space suits or space armor with re-releases of the new ST figures. Or maybe TMNT repaints with the TOS crew. I keep thinking about those joke TMNT/Minions 2packs. I could see the basic 2pack like we have got; one side Ninja Turtle, but the other side crammed with 4 or 5 Imaginext-like Minions.

Considering grabbing Super7 Splinter and Shredder. I like the Playmates designs, and it would round out my TMNT Ultimates collection a little more.

Who is this shown with the NECA Mirage Turtles at SDCC? Looks like Future Don from the 2012 future eps of the last season.
