I've spotted many of these newly released characters, along with re-releases of a lot of the older figures, ALL on that same new card back.
However, I haven't seen any sign of the comic turtles being restocked. No sign of them on their old unique card or on the new one.

I kept passing on these guys, because finding them without paint issues was nearly impossible. Honestly, if it turns out that I missed out on them, I'm not sure if I'll feel irritated or relieved, lol !

Of all the TMNT comics, I've only read the Image stuff and some of the new IDW stuff, and I've never had much interest in the Mirage era (original or re-launch) or Archie stuff (well, besides a few old dog-eared Archie TMNT comics when I was a kid), so I'm not even sure if I really need figures based on the original designs. But anyways...

Skip them. They're meant to be homages to the classic comics, which I would assume means the figures are meant to be for adult collectors.. But the figures are awful and the articulation sucks.
