25th Anniversary Ninja Turtles Figures OUT NOW!

I want Fugitoid. Period.

Fugitoid does rock.

MegaPrime33 · 01-19-2009, 06:42 AM

Since the figures are a tad pricey, and I have SO MANY of the original figures ranging from the original turtles to the Sewer Sports All Stars, I will only be buying the figures I never had; April, Foot Soldiers, Krang. I definitely want to get the van, as I never had the vehicles. Hopefully it will be coming to retail.

Zherbus · 01-19-2009, 11:40 AM

I saw these out and thought it was cool that they are the original molds. I still have everything for TMNT from when I was a kid. Once they re-release Krangs android body, I might consider taking a dip.

general hawk59, the Blimp was beast man! I got that for xmas back in '90, but the baloon part deflated. That was my fav vehicle though! I may pick up the van...

Man seeing all these toys brings back memories. I forgot what the Fugitoid looked like. Any of you excited for the comic versions coming out from Playmates Toys? I prefer the NECA versions, with more articulation. The Playmates versions seem to use the 2007 movie body, which isn't as articulated.

Also I saw some exosuits for the minifigures, they look like retooled Exosquad suits. Exosquad RULED!

As a kid I probably had more Ninja Turtles in my collection than any other toy line I bought. I was looking at an archive for the figures and was surprised at how many I got.

I pretty much got everything I wanted, but my dog ate most of them, so if Fugitoid comes out I'll start collecting, but then and only then. I also want Muckman and the freaky purple bug guy. Not the fly but the one from the cartoon who was an exterminator.

P.S. here's a pic of Fugitoid, Shin:

No, no, no, no, no! Dammit, why did I have to see this thread? My budget is already stretched to the max. This is why I have to stop coming online. It's a sickness. I need government compensation.

Oh man, now I remember! He was a cool figure!

Finally made it out to a Target over the weekend, and the only toy line was picked through was TMNT reissues. There appeared to be 4 pegs for them, and only 2 turtles left. This is a great sign that the toyline is doing well and that we will probably (hopefully) see more waves of them soon.

I've seen one store already restock. But I'm also noticing that 95% of the stores have full pegs now. There is a small chance this could end up like Indy Movie toys (Those things were selling out all over the place for the first week or so)

I'm resisting the urge to recollect these, but it keeps getting harder and harder with me walking into the stores seeing the packaging and getting taken back so many years....that and the lack of product from either Transformers or GI Joe

trebleshot · 01-26-2009, 11:01 AM

When I first saw these on the pegs at a nearby TRU, it was a nice trip down memory lane. But if I was to ever buy TMNT toys again, they would have to be based off the original comic like the NECA versions.

MegaPrime33 · 02-02-2009, 06:52 AM

Saw more of these this past weekend, though still only seeing the turtles. Can't wait until other figures start cropping up.

pituvision · 02-05-2009, 08:48 PM

I just got Rocksteady & Bebop to day At Target!!! And they Rock!!! DOnt have pics only a vid! But they Rock!!! The nostalgic felling is totally worth it!!!

MegaPrime33 · 02-08-2009, 01:40 PM

I saw them at TRU today; all 4 turtles and April. I need April but didn't have the cash at the time. But, at least she's out there!

King Sagat · 10-21-2009, 06:49 PM

Does anybody know if they are going to make any more of the 25th turtle figures anymore. I missed out on them. I went to Toys R' Us and all they had was Splinter, Rocksteady, and Bebop. I picked them up as well as the Party Wagon.

Saint Phe · 10-21-2009, 07:28 PM

I don't think so. I haven't seen any in stores in over 6 months. There should be some reasonable prices on Ebay, though.

ludovicotek · 10-21-2009, 07:32 PM

^ Pretty much agree with Saint Phe. You might find a few of the turtles themselves around, if you look enough.

King Sagat · 10-22-2009, 05:35 PM

Did they ever release the Foot soilders and Shredder. I looked at Target and Wal-Mart and they don't have nothing. The two Toys R' Us's we have in San Antonio just had Splinter, Rocksteady, and Bebop and I picked them up. I asked a worker if they had anymore and he took a look in the back and they didn't have anymore except for the same ones I picked up. I think I am going to have to hit Ebay.

Playmates is releasing the comic versions next year but they aren't through mass retail.

I think I've seen the Foot Soldier but never seen Shredder at retail.

King Sagat · 10-22-2009, 06:10 PM

Do you still have them in your area.

Haven't seen the Foot Soldier in months

MegaPrime33 · 10-22-2009, 06:42 PM

I've seen them all, but shredder and the foot soldier, and the turtle van. It's pretty sad actually.

SpencimusPrime · 10-25-2009, 11:28 AM

neat.

Hi mate, I've actually tryed to find a wholesaler or distributor to get these at my toy stall, had no luck finding anyone. Do you know anyone distributing these editions?
Cheers

First, this thread is over 3 years old (and died around that time, too). Second, I highly doubt anyone is distributing the 25th Anniversary toys anymore, since Playmates is no longer making them.

Your best bet at this point is the secondary market like Ebay or Amazon.
