One Turtle with all four sets of weapons = The Last Ronin.

I think I'd need a head with a black bandana for that one
And some siege style greebling
But I still like the idea

I don't think I need a Last Ronin, but I'd be so down for Slash. Give him some spikes and a crazy headsculpt.

Ahhhh, who am I kidding? I've been getting all the collabs so far, why would I skip any repaint of my favorite franchise? I'd even pick up a Venus variant. But if they do variant TMNT the van itself needs to reflect it. It couldn't just look like the Party Wagon at that point.

I'll go with Shellshock instead of party wallop
And totally gonna team him up with shattered glass Soundwave

Since the robot hands will be regular 5 fingers instead of 3-digit turtle hands, I wonder if they will be 5 mm holes. If so, I will probably give some of the weapons to other Transformers.

I want to see Cyclonus dual-wield Leo's swords.

Oh man, I am so excited for this one.

I saw this, and went "oh f*** me" right on the spot.

I preordered 4 through Target, they had a deal going, so I got $40 off the total. They will go great with my recently acquired Mutant Mayhem turtles and van! They may even fit in the van. or at least 1 of them!

Pulse charged me for this 2 days ago and provided a "DHL" tracking nmber that is clearly a USPS tracking number. USPS says still awaiting the package, so who knows how soon it will be in hand.

Edit: It will apparently be DHL to USPS estimated for Tuesday.

My box arrived today. I'm still at the office. Looking forward to seeing these in person!

It did appeared at my local geek store, but'm skipping on this one.

Still waiting on target to ship mine, I canceled 3 of mine and decided to narrow it down to 1

The interesting thing about these figures are the bright colors, which I realize they are trying to stick with the original cartoon but the colors are very bright. The yellow almost overwhelms the greens which really should be more prominent? Am I disappointed in getting four? Not really...the ability to display all four of the brothers with their unique colors and distinguishing belt letters is a really cool feature. I would have liked a little more green visible in the bot modes, but I'm not complaining.

What are you doing with the extra weapons? Storing or redistributing?

If I ever get the Turtle on sale, he'll be "neutral" and carry ALL the weapons at once.

I was originally going to do this myself and store the weapons on each, but now I think I will go last Ronin style, swapping out headsculpts and weapons as Party Wallop sees fit

Well First-Aid is getting 4 Wallops. That means 4 sets of each weapon, only 1 of which he can display at once, if he remains faithful to characters. (Elsewise why is he getting 4?) So that means 3 sets of each weapon will be extra. I know Cyclonus could use those Leo swords...

Redistribution could be fun. Otherwise they go in the ever-expanding Giant Drawers of Parts and Weapons.

The heads and weapons also all store away in bot mode and alt mode, so they can stay on too

Got Party Wallop a few days ago. With those colors and his height he looks alright next to X-Spance and the old Iron Man crossover.

I actually think this one might be the best of the line. Maybe tied with Nedry in terms of execution, but I think TMNT is more iconic ... and I like TMNT better. I'm really happy with him. Stuff like this is what the crossover line should be about.

Saying that I find myself rethinking getting four. He's actually really big. And wide. I have a bit of time before the other three get here. Guess we'll see.

I received my copy a few days ago as well...
It probably is one of the better Crossover figures, and yet I'm not convinced I'm going to keep it.
It was going to be my only Crossover in my collection, but there's limited space to display it, and the appeal of the bot mode is not all that high for me... I wish the upper legs and hands were green.
There's a chance I'd keep this in the alt mode, but it doesn't quite seem like that makes it worth keeping.

I got Party Wallop this week, and he is really good. I really love him! there is a lot of love evident in this figure, and the fact that all of his spare heads and weapons store is fantastic. He is big and chonky, but hella posable still, and just a blast to mess with. highly recommend
