Re: New 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Released in Canada

I may or may not put chains on mikes chucks...i did a test run with that blade weapon he has





I used a thumb tack to put a hole through one of the chains loops, and a screw to round it out...cut the extras off the end, and then used a keychain to loop it through. People say that it takes away from the action shots, if you take one of those clear twist ties and push it through links, the chain will bend to your liking. I am still iffy about trying it on the actual nunchucks..if i ruin those I don't want to have to go buy another one :P

Re: New 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Released in Canada

Finally found all the classics at a TRU:E today. Really great update on the original toon versions.

I will say though, in the past couple of days I found only about 3 complete sets while looking, and 1 each of Donatello, Raphael and Leonardo had problems visible in the package. Donatello had 1 foot "floating around in the pacakage. Raphael had his whole right arm not placed properly in the package which clearly was causing stress on the joints pressing against the bubble. Leonardo had one sword placed improperly and it looked like the sword was bent in half.

I get the feeling the packing team isn't doing quite a bang up job so double check carefully before buying these guys.

That said, I really think they are pretty great. I have unknowingly started a "Classics" collection with MOTUC He-Man/Skeletor, "Classic" Lion-O, Mummra, Tigra, and now the Turtles. Add in the MP Optimus Prime and Sideshow Duke and I have a fairly cool updated collection of 80s characters. Now someone please bring on the "Classics" versions of the SILVERHAWKS!!!!

Dollar store keychains. Or craft store chains. Some bend easier than others. Gonna use white hockey tape for the wrap instead of paint.

Re: New 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Released in Canada

Are all the Toys"R"Us' only getting one case? Seems like the couple I stopped only got one case of the 4" figures, as all the pegs have been empty. I can't believe they're selling out, didn't realize they'd be this popular. Hopefully they'll restock this week.

I'm pretty impressed with how quick they are selling considering the new tv show airs next month.

I couldn't agree more, I was not expecting the new stuff to sell out so fast. Heh, I finally found the 5" turtles at WM during the weekend. It shouldn't be too difficult to find these guys once WM starts putting them out.
