OMG, that's HUGE!

That arcade screen is genius!

Drain Six, haha

You're really looking for a Bull Hop? Hmm.

@Maruten, in case you can't find a Bullhop, I see him on shelf... here in Asia. There's going to be a sale next Friday so I was thinking of getting my Hypno then. I can get you a Bullhop. It's just shipping.

[Maruten]

Oh wow. If you can get hold of one I'd love that and will happily pay cost and shipping to Australia. Amazon and eBay are just like, "yeah, nope". Oh, actually there's one on eBay now, first one I've seen there I think, but with shipping from the US it's au$150 which is insane.

[Fero McPigletron]

Ah, you're in Australia! That's actually closer, hehe. I'll send you a on then.

Catching up on the finale, and man, do I love this series!

Recently got to watch this myself! Got lost on the way thanks to the confusing viewing order (couldn't make heads or trail between Wikipedia and KimCartoon), but made it. And it was a great wild ride, which I can say for the show itself too. 

 

I really enjoyed this show. More TMNT shows should have this energy and creativity. Interesting way of dealing with their wild and decidedly non-serious-ninja nature (with the previous season finale too), although it's also resulted in aborted character development each time. Then again, the show does make it so that you don't really WANT more serious stuff all that much. 

 

The 2012 one was a great coming-together of talents and characterization that stuck to the classic mold more faithfully, but this show ADDS so much new (or at least new-FEELING) stuff to the lore. Voice acting brought the really fun scripts to life really well, too! (I only belatedly realized that Draxum stopped being voiced by Cena much earlier than I thought, and that the Foot Recruit wasn't Paget Brewster after all but Zelda Williams!)

Got my Spider Shell Donnie. Apparently he and the aquatic jet pack version are "chase" figures though I didn't have to "shell out" (hahahahahahaha etc) much above retail. The arms are a pretty iconic element of the character I think, so I was keen to get this one. 

 

Wasn't sure if the spider pack was going to be removable or compatible with the standard figure's battle shell, but yup. All this Donatello stuff is nicely interchangeable. The different colour on the bo and battle shell are a nice bonus to mix things up I guess. I think the figure itself is unchanged (other than the Spider Shell version having a slightly shoddier paint job).

 

 

That takes me to the end of my "must have" figures (once I get Bullhop THANK YOU MYSTERIOUS ANGEL WHO POSTS IN THIS THREAD). I'm not interested in every Turtle variant, though I will probably track down the Bug Bustin' Raph and Leo eventually because their hats are pretty cool. 

[Fero McPigletron]

The well-armed Donnie is my favorite from the show, hehe.

I'd like them better if the turtles were smiling or had goofy expressions like the show, haha

[Maruten]

Yeah, most of the face sculpts are not really in line with the show's tone unfortunately.

[Maruten]

Endless gratitude to Fero who helped me acquire the last character I was missing. 

 

 

He's brilliant. It's kind of a shame that he made it to retail when more significant characters like Repo Mantis and Big Mama were cancelled, but I'm still very happy to add Bullhop to the team.

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

Fero sent you a figure? That's some bull.

Hehe. He Bull-hopped across the world.

I rather liked how character. I figured he was a homage to an actor, from his inflection (Jerry Lewis?). Shame he only had a few appearance. Todd the Capybara had more but I guess he isn't a marketable, whoops.

Yeah, I would have liked a Repo Mantis toy. Big Momma, I think her human look is more iconic.

Hmm, who got the most appearances among the extra villains? Big Momma and Hypno?

[Maruten]

This is a quick and dirty cut and paste from IMDB, and some of these numbers may be additional characters rather than the actor's main dude, but it looks to be something like this. It's surprisingly even for basically everyone major once you get down past Draxum and the Foot.

Dang, Meat Sweats one ups the majority. I could have sworn Todd had more eps, haha

[Maruten]

I tend to think of Meat Sweats as the #2 villain after Draxum, but that may be just because I love his action figure so much.

[Fero McPigletron]

I ended up getting Wave 1 Rise Donnie since I couldn't find Spider Shell Donnie. I could have gotten the Battle Shell with the convenient folding Bo, but, well, I didn't like the look as much. So yeah, it's the first Bo with the twirl wind effect.

(I also saw a CGI Donnie which I actually HAD before but I never opened. I sold it off along with the other three but, well, I might as well get him again and finally open him. I really would have preferred the Battle Shell version of that, haha).

Btw, saw this list while googling.

It's weird that they listed Donnie killing Shredder in the original comic but they put the Nick TMNT Same as It Never Was episode, where Donnie murders Shredder is an absolutely gruesome way, as a footnote to 'he keeps the team together'.

I'd switch out the Sons of Silence part with Archie Donnie beating his three brothers in intergalactic wrestling. That was a crowning moment. He was the best fighter in the Archie-verse, though I don't agree that he was better just because he read books. In fights, he needs actual practice. It wouldn't have been enough if he read about new moves.

Edit - oh yeah, Rise Donnie thrashing the hex out of Leo in the sewer olympics ep totally counts as badass! He beat him with a broken/sprained leg! And that disgusting icky nerves of steel event was the best/worst, haha. Great Donnie achievement ep, even if he still got screwed in the end, haha.

Meat Sweats running change?!

My son just opened his Christmas Meat Sweats. It was purchased at the same store as mine, only a day or two apart, but the mutant pig tentacle attachment is completely different.



This is one of my favourite toys of 2020 so I guess I gotta find me a second one.

[Fero McPigletron]

Whoa! That's freaky! Hehe

Er, do you know if Hypno has a running change or something like that too? Haha

Movie hits Netflix sometime this year.

Not a fan of "the Krang", much rather see "Utroms", but... for my beloved Rise, I will tolerate anything.
