ah Megator.  That makes sense I suppose.  Although this line isn't too many mash-ups and more just modified versions of characters.  Hmmm.   Just not sold on Krang being green.

As a line, it feels like it can't decide if it wants to be a mash-up or an "inspired by" type of thing. Seems like the deluxe figures are definitely more "mash-up" in nature than the standard ones.

I held Sla’Ker in a Target store but got register blocked. 4/28.

Damn Target. It’s so embarrassing and frustrating to have my toy taken away like a naughty child.

Thwipp!

@misfit What's funny about Krang being a mash-up (not to beat a dead horse), but how does his mash-up even work?   Megator isn't an artificial body.  And Krang is.  So did Krang just gut Megator's carcass and animate it?

Krang is pretty a wicked scientist and has little concern for other life forms.

Thwipp!

In Archie, Krang took over Shredder's body by seemingly replacing Shredder's head with his own body.

 

And Shredder was ok, so I guess this mashup can work too.

BBTS is getting Mikey, Shredder, Casey, and Teela shortly. After thinking I wasn't in on these, apparently I'm getting, like, all of them. Haven't been able to find Kraang though.

Krang has been elusive for me as well. None of the Walmarts I've been to over the past couple of weeks, across two states, even seem to be carrying MOTU anymore. Walmart continues to be the worst destination for exclusives.

I’m not collecting this line but…

- I spotted Krang last week at Walmart along with a big restock as a result of an aisle reset that included the latest cartoon and Masterverse figures. So at least this Walmart hasn’t stopped selling MotU.

- I did pick up Shredder from Amazon to use his parts on a larger figure, just gotta decide what larger figure to use!

- that Leatherhead looks so good. I might be tempted on that as well because it just looks like a Leatherhead figure with MotU parts.

Been dragging my feet shipping the POL with this latest wave in it because I knew a bunch of MOTU was incoming, and oh boy, I have a big box of MOTU heading my way from BBTS. Can't wait to add Mikey to this collection though. Always feels weird not having the full four brothers in a series.

Opened Sla’ker and it looks good. It’s too big. It should have been on standard sized buck. 

Thwipp!

Dang, Krang is out in the wild?  Ugh, it's so upsetting, needing to hunt retail is just the worst.  I hope I can get Leatherhead online.  Otherwise I'm just going to drop this line and be happy with the turtles.

@vicious7171 He's been out for a while.  Moss Man too.  I found Mer-Man this morning.  Leatherhead is the only one that hasn't been seen in stores yet.

@justice thanks.  I live in the midwest and stuff gets here real slow.  But also there's no Supercenters near me so sometimes things are like, three-months late, or never show up at all.  I guess it's time to go for a little drive.

Unsure where MW you are, Vic ("Vish"? lol), but in the western Chicago suburbs, almost every Walmart I go to doesn't carry TMNT, and recently I only even found one that even carried MotU (and all they had was the flocked Origins Moss Man).

Casey & Mikey just dropped into my PoL. Still need Raph & Shredder, though.
