The Playmates Classic Collection is a sad attempt at cornering that market, with repeated releases of the four Turtles and no supporting cast or villains, and priced about $5 higher than the quality suggests they should be.

I agree, Playmates is stupid. All they ever release are the four turtles. I'm glad First Gokin is around and will hopefully pick up steam. This is what happens when too many business people get involved. Playmates is worried about another company cutting into their profits, and for some insane reason they scrapped or are not going to do the classics line anymore. There are tons of companies doing classics stuff. Well, I hope I can snag these guys somehow, if not I'm sure they will get the KO treatment.
