WHO HAS SUMMONED ME!?!?

Oh, hai, guys!

Whoops, I dropped this! My bad...

Miss you all. Since losing my day job, I haven't been on computers as much, and I haven't tried Tapatalk again since the last board crash lol (or, the last one I was present for...)

Picked up Krang-head Shredder at an out of the way Walmart today. Nice figure.

I'm going to have to keep looking with all of these hits here. That Archie Shredder is at or near the top of my wants list for the NECA lines. Something about that color scheme just works for me. My Walmarts are terrible though, but maybe I'll get lucky.

@misfit his colors really are sharp. Something about the white replacing the silver makes him look really clean. He’s also a much thicker build than the Mirage Shredder, or the Toon Shredder.

Yep! Brand new body, as far as I could tell!

Exact same soft goods cape, though. 😆 

Ran across Krang Shredder at a Walmart today in Moses Lake, Wa. If this Walmart has him, he's starting to spread around lol 

I found another Shredder at my more local Walmart. I think they must have coordinated this release really well if so many stores are getting it at once. I left one behind when I picked up mine yesterday, but the store today only had one when I found him.

I found nothing at one Walmart yesterday, which is a particularly bad Walmart. They only had some Beetlejuice figures. Another Walmart had a tag for it that wasn't there last week, but no figure. I must have missed it. Still isn't in their online inventory which makes hunting it down more annoying.

Also found a Krang Shredder at Walmart this morning.  Was originally thinking I'd get two, but I don't trust NECA not to re-release it down the line with more accessories or something as "just" Shredder, and I've got two Krangs now with the Bellybomb pack-in, so I'll use this as Shredder until/unless a replacement comes along.

Does anyone know when the Bellybomb repaint is coming?  Or in what capacity (multipack, etc)?  I keep thinking about that figure.  

@vicious7171 It's a single pack Wal-Mart exclusive. Trevor made it sound like it'd be hitting first of the year (and with all the stuff WM has been getting in the last week, I would not be shocked if someone found it in the coming month).

I went to an out of the way Walmart on lunch today that had squat. I should just write it off entirely for future reference, though strangely it's the only Walmart I can reliably find Simpsons figures at. Rather than take the L, I decided to do the irresponsible thing of going to an even further out of the way Walmart thus ensuring I would not make it back before my break was technically over. It paid off though as I found Shredder and he's awesome. I do wish he had a wired cape, and some bladed gripping hands, but otherwise no complaints. I love this color combo for Shredder. The Krang head is fine, but I'll never display him as Krang-Shredder unless I end up with another one for some reason (I could have bought two, but I don't think that's something I need).

I chekced our system today at work and Shraang is listed as no inventory available (so beyond our store just being sold out, this is for the area, apparently), and none expected until around 2/27 for my particular store.

That tracks. I'm guessing the first allotment of the figure went to Walmart, but the next batch may go to Target or Best Buy so a gap in delivery makes sense. Or they have stock ticketed for the online store. We probably won't see the online collectibles stores stock this one until the summer or later. I'm guessing most of this figure is reused for the toon Shredder so they were probably in production at the same time. That will probably show up soon at Target, perhaps in lieu of this Archie Shredder, or it's being held back for another collector drop thing that everyone loves.

Online listing is back. Use it to find where he is in stock near you.
