I was in a rush when I snapped the pics, but I don't think the strings are physically attached.

yeah i've seen a bunch of these this week at TRU.

For what I could see, even the individual packages contain the keychain gimmick (search on ebay). And yes, it is removable.
I hope they make it to the online store though. It is the only way for me to get them.

Grabbed the Donny, Mikey, and Raph 2-packs. Haven't spotted the Leo yet. I'm sure I'll come upon one this weekend while out shopping.

Did you open yours up, Joe? If so, were you able to take the keyrings off?

Not going to open them until I have all four sets. Want to do a photo shoot with them.

I have picked up two of the five sets. The key rings DO come off. All you have to do it pop their heads off of the ball joint and slip them off.

I've seen a bunch of all of the characters but none of the Mutagen Leo.. so I assume either I'm getting to the stores just a few minutes too late or Mutagen Leo is not actually out yet. Toy companies are becoming notorious for things like that (think Dog Pound and Fishface in the Half Shell Heroes line which were huge chase figures for months but now they're overstocked nearly everywhere) so if you can't find Mutagen Leo don't give up.. they'll probably be over-crowding the pegs before we know it. Or maybe not - Who knows?

One last thing to point out - The paint jobs on a lot of these are occasionally not very good so that makes it more worthwhile than buying them in blind bags and risking a terrible paint job.
