I was gonna suggest that maybe they included alternate accessories to army build, but then why would a pilot have full face camo? Maybe the HALO jumper's name is Action Pilot?

Sure, name the HALO Jumper "Action Pilot". That would be in line with naming your flamethrower "Ice Cream Soldier".

Ha ha. That's just my minor gripe. That figure is still a great figure, lots of kitbash options, which is what I think that line of "Action" figures are great for. I have mine hanging from my ceiling with the parachute open.

A 2 pack or 4 pack is still just 1 release, so figure totals will be higher than these numbers. Also, I didn't count any multiples of anything. At one point, I had 6 Classified B.A.T.S., but I only counted it once.

Mafex- 6
Super7- 12
Hasbro- 21
Mattel- 36
NECA- 51
McFarlane- 229

2023
So, here is this year's list, where all the same applies. The funny thing is, I have sold off a lot of the NECA, Mattel, and Super7 that I bought this year. I am basically out on Super7 completely, am only doing Origins-style from Mattel, and am no long trying to be a completist on NECA TMNT. Hopefully, this means next year's list will be trimmed down quite a bit.

Mafex- 8
Super7- 8
Mattel- 29
Hasbro- 39
NECA- 65
McFarlane- 239

2024

Super7- 0
Mafex- 3
Hasbro- 29
Mattel- 31
Neca- 39
McFarlane- 284

2025

Super7- 0
Mafex- 4
Mattel- 26
NECA- 28
Hasbro- 36
McFarlane- 260

It's been another great and busy year for you. I guess breaking the 2024 McFarlane record will have to wait until next year.

I can't wait to see the new toys you'll add to your collection in 2026.

I sure hope not!

I don't have the mental capacity nor courage to keep tab of how many figures I buy each year. I'll just leave it at "More than I should, less than I wanted".

It can be a bitter pill to swallow.
