Woah! I missed that this was going to be a thing...

The reissue playmates toilet taxi seems a bit weird and not quite good weird but nice to see it available again. Wouldn't mind the foot cruiser and ninja newcaster cycle. Would have thought the news van would be an easy reuse of the tmnt van too.

Idw is about to butcher nightwatcher so yet another tmnt thing screwed up, likely to get a best axn new nightwatcher over a neca nightwatcher now

I say bring on the Foot Knuckle, Foot Transport Moduel Driller, Cheap Skate, and Footski as well.

Anyone else notice how the Super7 TMNT (and Thundercats) seem to depreciate really quickly?

Exhibit A

I had no idea they were reissuing it, but I found the vintage reissue Toilet Taxi at Target Saturday morning. I'm surprised they chose that over the Cheap Skate or Knucklehead, something more iconic at a similar price point. Plus it includes a new Don figure with what I at first thought was a repainted head from the vintage Make My Day Leo, but now I think it's a new head, gloves too. For a figure and vehicle it's a great deal for $25!

Interesting. I wonder if people have just decided they'd rather have the vintage figures than bigger remakes of them for, in many cases, the same price.

Spotted the Pizza Thrower this morning at a Target. Was a bit pricey and my mom's birthday is coming up so I passed for now.

Oh, hadn't heard that, going to need one of those.

Original sewer playset being reissued too dunno if it will have any changes like the technodrome. 3 more reissue figures anthrax, wyrm and scale tail.

2012 tmnt getting reissues and the shell raiser, as much as I liked that series revoltechs are almost unbeatable and I have no memories of the shell raiser at all despite having watched the toon

*mutant module is going to be a must buy for me and I don't even have the tmnt van reissue

Tokka and Rhazar are not surprising for the movie subline and Super Shredder and Foot Ninja are being reissued in a four pack with the former online so we’ll see individual releases of them at some point.

Sewer play set is not entirely a surprise due to the Technodrome being redone. Not sure about any changes since it was smaller. I’m also glad the Mutant Module/Transport module is being done. Still holding out for the cheap skate, Foot Cruiser, Foot Knuckle, Footski, Turtle Copter, and Turtle Cycle. At this rate, I do foresee Kraig’s Android body being reissued but I can see them sizing it down too since that thing was already oversized unless you were portraying it enlarged against the Turtles.

And since they re-did the Technodrome, I wouldn’t mind seeing a proper reproduction of the Turtle blimp. The glider is the only thing they need to redo.

I'll probably pass on the Sewer Playset like I am the Technodrome, I just don't have room for large playsets (MOTU is taking up all the space!). But those three figures are ones I don't have! I haven't seen anything new at Walmart in quite some time, they keep sticking Mutant Mayhem stuff on the retro pegs and I keep moving them. Walmart dedicate WAY too much space to MM and now they're stuck with it, it isn't selling at clearance. I still want the costume 4 pack but I just know if I buy it'll they'll stick it on clearance, too.

Costume packs are sold seperately here with them all going on individual random sale prices, with mikey being cheapest. Smyths randomness. If it wasn't mm I'd have been tempted to get four dons and repaint three of them.

Apparently a new wave of retro 1990's figures is hitting shelves: Rat King, Super Shredder, Casey Jones, Movie Foot Ninja, Slash, and Mutagen Man.

Already got Casey from a previous reissue line so I'll be picking up Slash, Mutagen Man, and Rat King.

The only one I know of being released here is Raph, he's the only one I've seen in store (at Target) and only one I've seen on Target.com. Here's the thing, the individual figures are around $10, but the 4 pack is $30 so I save no matter what, but I've waited so long I just know it'll go on clearance as soon as I buy it.

And I'm glad I waited. Found the costume 4 pack on clearance this morning for $14!

Found Movie Star Super Shredder and Retro Rat King at Target. So Slash, Mutagen Man, Casey, Movie Foot Ninja, Tokka, and Rahzar are out there.

Based on your find I went to Target after work this morning and they didn't have either of those sets, instead they had a single Ray from the case with April and Mondo. They also had the complete peg full of Genghis Frog, and a few Baxters.

Picked up Retro Mutagen Man at another Target. Also saw Retro Casey. Casey only had two of his weapons: The bat, and golf club. I passed since I already got him. Just missing Retro Slash, Tokka, and Rahzar.

So Casey really does only come with one bat then? It was hard to tell from stock photos if one was in his bag or not. Still haven't haven't seen these in stores yet.

Walmart his morning had the new Mutant Mayhem school turtles, the crab that isn't Herman (boo!) and two packs of Raph and Leo paired with one of the robots for $20 each.

They'll come. Sadly, that is the case with Casey. Not sure what happened to limit the weapons.

Can't imagine, just cost cutting I guess. How hard is it to make one more bat? I'll have to check again Saturday for these.

Got an email from Amazon. The Technodrome ships on the 9th of December.

Nice, I preordered one yesterday. UK amazon has a listing but no gaurantees it will be on their so I've ordered from the states.

Not sure if these count as new TMNT toys...

Advent Calender of the last existing TMNT toon? -I'm quite happy to ignore everything that has come after, maybe some one at playmates is too.

Poor Casey got sent to the sin bin and they subbed in a sign post? Owch.

Maybe next years calendar will be the Bay turtles

Well that's random. I know the Fox cartoon series is getting a bit of a resurgence between reissues and new collector stuff, but this came out of nowhere. This has to be something old they never got around to actually releasing.
