Oh... I thought u painted the eyes, the eyes on the classics are a mess, u should see the ones I have... they look looney! U can always repaint them though... Just some gloss white and black acrylic will do it! But I agree with u, I had to buy them online... expensive too!

They are some issues with Leonardo. The blue bleeds a little on the corners on the white areas of his eyes but his pupils are fine. One eye of Ralph's is a little derpy while the other is fine. The others their eyes are fine. Including Donatello's. The letter on their belts the yellow paint there bleeds on the black center of their belts but it is minor. I don't want to paint them. Cause I'm not too practical and I don't want to make them worse. But I wish that they were more careful with the paint quality on those areas.It could of been better. Online can be quite expensive due to shipping costs. I went to the tru store and I hand picked them there. They had a few to pick on there for the very first time too. They are hard to find. Only Toys r us has them in their department stores. Depending which one. Cause many barely have them right now. They increased the price too from $17.99 to $19.99. I wish they had kept them at the previous price but they have the habit of doing this. The turtle sewer playset started at $119.99. Shortly after it went for $129.99. Now it is $139.99 It is getting ridiculous some of their prices. There are like 3 or 4 sewer playset boxes and aren't moving there. They've had them there for weeks now. It is too steep.

I started collecting the new TMNT line about 2 weeks ago after watching it's new cartoon. Right now I have the "Basic" Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Metalhead figures.

Sorry about Mikey's face being so bright

Did the nunchucks for my son's Mikey - turned out pretty good! Thanks for the idea/info! (mine are up next...)

I got myself my son the Sewer Lair for Christmas. Man! This thing is HUGE! Took a bit to put it together but it was totally worth it. He was very pleased. :-)

Does anyone know if there will be a Leatherhead figure up for release?

I hate to say it but the mousers look to be solid pieces of plastic with no articulation. They better come multiples to a pack

It looks to me like their jaws open and close and maybe the legs can move as well. I think the tag said 7 pack, but it's hard to make out. That makes sense though since there were 7 on display.

Mousers are a 7-pack

And some more from the Toy Fair. Leatherhead looks sweet. Undecided on the Rat King, but leaning towards "cool"....

Long story short: Ended up with the Ooze turtles and one canister of ooze. I wouldn't have picked them up for me/my collection - but my son had a BLAST with these. He and I spent a good deal of time at the kitchen table flinging ooze and dropping it TMNT figures!

Got the pizza box set as well - very fun how it folds up. We have been using that with the sewer lair.

Anyone have news about Baxter, Leatherhead, Rat King, etc?

Did you watch the episode? I'm warming up to him.

FYI for those interested: I have been reading that the new figs should start showing up in late April...

I usually catch them on demand but Time Warner has been screwy lately.
