Another

And another. 

Given our earlier discussion of retail availability I wanted to shared my past 3 days. I took my kid down to see my parents for a few days and took the opportunity to hit a 6 Walmart 2 target run. On the way there I struck out everywhere for what I was looking for BUT all the targets had MOTU stuff in stock, only one had Sla'kker in stock.  Only 1 of the WM's didn't have any MOTU (It was all in the huge clearance section. One store had the Spikor wave on clearance!) the rest all had TOG and the CC waves, so the stuff is making it's way out there. I saw Krang at 3 and 1 had Moss Man, so all stuff I had.

One way back from picking my son up I hit the 1 WM I missed and boom, Merman, Terroar and Gr'asp! These things are out there and working their way to Walmarts. I suspect some folks with some patience can even get some on clearance.

@dynamicg must be nice...

@smitty-81 it is and it isn't. I spent 3 hours in some awful traffic only to loop around to a target that I had already been to. So in terms of $$ I'm not saving over the online route. I am very interested in how these things roll out spatially though. I decided to try now because I was seeing a lot of folks in east texas saying they saw them in stores, so I figured they're coming out in waves from CA. 

The thing I'm not sure about is how they are handling that shared sku\ reups. Does each store get one wave of Krang, Then Mossman, then Merman and then Leatherhead or does it depend on when\if a store reups.

@smitty-81 haha yea, I gave up looking for those two

Didnt want to start a new thread so figured just stick it here if that’s ok. If anyone is into these here you go

@dynamicg I don't know what Target does but Walmart allows some degree of control in each store for what they stock. So with one Walmart only ever getting He-Man and Skeletor and another store mixing them up with MOTWWEU figures they ended quickly at those two stores. The other store got everything consistently until wave 7...

@brasco Those are not MOTU related.

@durendal if you read my post I was aware

@brasco @durendal Let's play nice.

Found Moss Man last night!  Hoping Mer-man isn't far behind!! 

When I was looking at the figures, I noticed that even the bad guys have the new two peg back armor setup, just like the turtles. I can't imagine that's just for turtle shells and there has to be some other, even if minor, modularity. The only thing I can think of so far would be the wings on the upcoming Hordak maybe plugging into those slots, which would be cool. Moss man's tendrils also use them.

Also, have we seen anything regarding foot soldiers? Those are pretty important to the TMNT situation and i imagine they'd work as some kind of Horde Trooper cross or maybe a Skelecon cross over?

@dynamicg Mossmutant's vines work.

@smitty-81 And they look good. I'm wondering about Splinter's cape now. The cape \ fur are separate from the armor so those could be compatible.

@dynamicg I hadn't thought much about Splinter. I'm just wondering if Hordak's wings could be used to make Warrior Winged Leo and Donnie.

Target canceled my Splinter-Skull order. I don't know why I bother.

Just got Mikey to complete the Fab Four!

Question to anyone else who has him: Are the links in his nunchucks supposed to be so stiff? Several links seem to be molded together, not sure if they can break apart or if that will ruin the whole thing.

@chrisa you can break them apart just go slow and be gentle, like the opposite of making love.

I don’t know much about Turtles toys, but this new Playmates Technodrome on Amazon looks super-impressive! 🤩

Will any of you use it for their ToG figures? Or is it too small for that? I assume the Playmates figs are a bit smaller than Origins… ?
