So I ordered these (the turtles) off Amazon from a third party called HiPlay. On Aug 5, they contacted me saying that the order would be delayed to late August/September. On Aug 12, Amazon marked it as shipped from China. Yesterday, I received a coupon in a padded envelope from HiPlay for a coupon for 10% off JoyToy items. But my original order of the four figures was marked delivered. Apparently, according to their communication, they sent the discount code coupon in lieu of the actual order being delayed. But for some reason, Amazon linked that consolation to the actual order. HiPlay assured they'd send the actual figures once JoyToy has overcome its production delays. This was a pretty confusing experience, but they at least were very communicative.
Bebop and Rocksteady look great. Hope I can use this discount code on them.
Bebop and Rocksteady were an instant pre-order for me, probably faster than the Turtles, as soon I saw the tweet I went to Bombusbee and grabbed them.
I just hope by “1/18 scale” they don’t mean these are 6 inches tall, I get them being bigger than the Turtles but it would be a real shame if these two couldn’t ride a Joy Toy motorcycle or Cyberzoic dinosaur
Rocksteady and Bebop are listed as being 11.5cm tall, which is 4.5". Doesn't seem too large.
The turtles are listed as 10.6cm tall, which is 4.17". So Bebop and Rocksteady aren't terribly larger than the turtles themselves. Surprised the turtles are so tall.

This exact thing happened to me recently, but my order was for the reissued WW2 figs and I received a random Blood Angels head. Everything worked out in the end, but like you said, it was confusing.

That's a little concerning. I have an order from the same seller that tracking says has cleared customs, so I guess I'll see what it is in a few days.
BBTS put B&R up for pre-order ($50 each) even though they never did list the Turtles, that I've seen.
I ended up canceling my preorder for the turtles. I just bought a house so money is tight right now.
Bebop and Rocksteady do look good though. But I've got a lot of turtles already.
I like them and put in a preorder at BBTS. Hopefully I get my set of turtles from 5k before they ship as I want to see how I like them first before going down this rabbit hole. I just like the idea of 1/18 TMNT so I'm pretty intrigued and like what I see so far.

BBTS is so slow with imports, I gotta imagine you're gonna get your Turtles first. Unless they are being released really, really close together.
Good Goddamn, Rocksteady and Bebop are fantastic. I don't even need the Turtles to want those two.
Their Krangdroid is gonna be a brick-shitter, I bet.
Fucksakes, Shredder and da Feets look deliciously good. I can skip the Turtles as being too big for my tastes but I'm gonna need all these bad guys. Krangdroid is gonna be ridiculously cool.
