And the Raphael in the middle bottom of pic 3 (with the brain-looking head) is the Metaluna Raph, and is like a $150-200 figure loose.

So much to remember throughout all genres, I used to run into smaller items but never knew what I was looking at

Plus it's not like a comic title where you can just type it in either, ha!

Are you kidding me?!! 

Funny, the two you mentioned both have lobster claws

My son (who is 39) had to move to Phoenix Az. for work and didn't want these old Turtle action figures anymore.  They were his when he was a kid and are NOT NMIB !! 

I was thinking of putting them on craigslist but decided to run it by you guys first.  Anything good here?   Maybe a Christmas raffle offering?  

I notice a number of them in the top row have broken/ missing right arms. Weird no left arms are broke.  

Top row next to Mantenna is a Lanard "The Corps" military figure and then the rest of the row I believe are all Mighty Max playsets. I just sold the spider one last night, in fact. Lol.

The vehicle in between the rows of figures is a Star Wars Snowspeeder. If it's all metal then it's vintage, if plastic then it's the modern Galoob version.

Yellow TMNT figure bottom right is Tattoo, red one on the left is Groundchuck, then moving right you have Bebop, Rocksteady, Splinter, Slash, and Shredder on the far right.

Above Shredder is Ghengis Frog, and to the left of him is Rat King.

Got a few toys in yesterday, and this is about half of what's on the way. Fun stuff!

No, one has been in development hell for ages but nothing going forward is concrete...all rumors.

No BH merchandise is new save for the ReAction figures from a couple years ago and then the Diamond Select figures a few years before that. Then? You'd go to the Medicom small figures several years before that. All three sets were basically VinCENT, Maximilian and Old BOB. No other modern figures were made.

Looks like you're missing the 2 blue pieces that make up the stand for the Enterprise, Bill.

I am not 100% on this but my understanding was the soft head figures where recalls and worth a bit more so should check all the 1988 series ones for a soft head vs hard head for TMNT.

That's interesting..  How soft are we talking about here.  None of them are "flexible" that I can notice.  I think I'll put them on the bay (with better pictures) and let them go for what they will.

Finally finished a 1982 Hawk figure so that I could have the OG 13 complete with all the 82 vehicles be it 1982/83 figures.  Been waiting awhile to fix my original Hawk and do this picture.  Just need one more of those UZi's to be 100% complete.

Congratulations on a great collection!

Should be able to squish their heads unlike the hard head plastic ones that are a hard plastic.

Got this email earlier today and as soon as I read the scale they'll be producing, I lost interest. Would've been more enticing had they kept with the standard 7" line that uncle Todd's been making but I guess that would make it a conflict of interest with Marvel's 6" legends line. Pretty sure the detail is gonna be top notch on the sculpts but it's gonna really have to grab my attention to invest in the new line.

Plus it looks like it's "posed figures..." So basically cheap statues. I'm personally not a fan.

[Jesse-Lee]

Also, obviously they were going to do this pose as one of the most iconic McFarlane Spideys, but then why not choose a 300 or even 301 reprint as the pack-in comic?

Could I ask a favour please, of my American friends? While you're out and about, could you please check the toy aisle, for the following 2 figures for me: McFarlane JLA Wave Superman Red. 

JLA Wave Mosaic Variant (officially known as Platinum Editions, this goes for Supes too) John Stewart. Please note the costume, the regular version is just in the standard Lantern uniform, the Platinum Edition is in his Mosaic costume. 

If you can only find one, that'd be greatly appreciated, thank you. One is better than none. Please note NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS NECESSARY. You only have to ship to another US address of a good friend of mine. 

I thank any and every one of you who can help me obtain these figures. 

Thank you.

Had to pick this up for the 14th printing that's packed-in. Box is pretty beat up, but I got a decent deal.

 

It'll look nice sitting next to my TDKR set too
