youbastards Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Yeah, it's very odd. Quite a few of the TRU Raph's I've seen have that misaligned shell paint. All of the other turtles are properly aligned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I went through what I can only assume was a full case, and those were the best shared paint apps of the bunch. The other Raphs were better, but their Aprils were GARBAGE. I decided to put up with that shell to get an April with a non-effed-up face.

MisterMiracle Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Are the comic shop blind bags on a strip or in a box? I fee like that Mutagen Raph is going to be a pain the ass to track down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Are the comic shop blind bags on a strip or in a box? I fee like that Mutagen Raph is going to be a pain the ass to track down. They come packed in a lidless long box with Turtle artwork and the minimate logo splashed along the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Now I want one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Ten, good call. Another Raph should be able to find more readily than a replacement April would have been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Heck, if these stay in stock for awhile, I can grab another Raph pack (or someone's extra blind-bagged), and make my own Trenchcoat/Fedora custom with the "bad" one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimate-Maniac Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I found these today. I was able to find a full set of turtles with reasonable paint applications, but the two Aprils were so unfortunate looking that they looked like some Chinese knockoff brand. /: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 So have we heard an answer as to why the K-Mart blind bags figures came out so good but the Toys R Us 2-packs are so sloppy? Different factories or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Seems counterintuitive, doesn't it? In the window box you can SEE how sloppy the paint apps are. But in the blind bags they seem fine. Probably just a conspiracy to get collectors to buy into blind bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Can anyone help with a Kraang? I don't really want to spend $25 on eBay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Can anyone help with a Kraang? I don't really want to spend $25 on eBay... Iv'e been shouting up the same tree. Anyone that is willing doesn't have a Kmart that has restocked yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Here is a pic of the display box the blind bagged turtles come in. Excuse the background. I have yet to clean up the Egyptian set in my photo studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Did you take note of what order the bags were in so we can make a list like the K-Mart blind bags? I found the TRU Minimates. Everyone minus Mutagen Leo...grrrrr! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimate-Maniac Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I don't want mutagen Leo. If anyone is interested message me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 The case I orderd from BBTS is in stock and waiting in my Pile O' Loot. Now to decide if I can wait for more stuff to arrive or if I want these now. As soon as I click the "SHIP" button a few other things will be available. #collectorproblems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vox Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I saw a box of these at my LCS.. i groped, fondled, felt up, tested a few bags but could not tell what I was feeling.. at $5.99 per, it is too much of a risk when I just need Donny and Shredder. I will be waiting for these to hit my local TRU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Are the comic shop blind bags on a strip or in a box? I fee like that Mutagen Raph is going to be a pain the ass to track down. Yeah I'm gonna just have to wait for ebay now. I hit the only comic shop around me that is even carrying these and bought all of the Raphs they had (only 2) both were regular Raph Given that this comic shop is still sitting on half of an Aliens dump case, They're probably not going to be ordering another case of TMNT (There were still 9 figures after I bought 2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I was just looking back at the sdcc pics for these and I dont like how all the mouths have been moved down to the bottom of the face on the final product, are the Kmart ones like that?

Dio Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 If you're looking for an April, try to feel out a skinny figure with a ponytail. I got lucky and got her as my first Minimate at my LGS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Do we have a list of who's who yet for the comic shop blind bag order? My comic shop has a fresh box but I really don't want doubles or triples of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
