I haven’t seen ANY new Haulathon stuff between two local Targets in the past three weeks. I haven’t checked daily, but nothing is lingering. I just want Mirage Baxter and Foot Enforcer. I’ve officially stopped adding to my toon collection, but it would at least be nice to SEE something new on the shelves. Just backlogs of old Gargoyles and horror products. And Universal Monster TMNT.

I did see everything at my other Target, but this was the first Haulathon I didn't buy something...for myself.  I bought my non-action figure collecting brother a Kirby in case he wanted one.  He did, after seeing one on Instagram.

Yeah, sorry, Doc, they are drastically different, and I just got my eyes checked at the doctor, lol.

PC "Evil Leo," TiD Leo, SG Raph, PC Mikey.

I hit the motherload almost two weeks ago, multiples of everything but Pizza Club Mikey. Which was shocking considering the collector/scalper heavy area I live in. Exactly a week later I returned and not a single item remained.

Like I said, argue with me all you want and your mileage may very, but I’m literally looking right at, not looking at pictures other people took of the two together not looking at solicitation photos and guessing if they match, looking right at my TiD Leo with a punk mouth and Punk Leo with a TiD mouth and it looks fine.

Don’t get me wrong they are different colors, like I can tell the Punk Turtles are darker green than the TiD when looking at the full figure, but looking right at the Leos the neck to mouth color difference isn’t that major.

again, maybe it’s my eyes, maybe it’s my lighting, maybe I have an off color set of punk turtles, WTFK! Point is, I think it works just fine!

🤣

Hey:

(But the color disparity is even worse to my eyes in person than it is in my photo lol. That's literally why I wanted this Mikey as soon as I found that out, lol. Because he is much darker, lol. 😜)

Checked my local Target, they put out a bunch of Punk Frog sets.  Haulathon!

@doc-baghead  I'm definitely not arguing. Not really, at least. I did qualify by saying -to me- they are massively different colors based on every photo and video I've seen. That's also backed up by basically everyone that has ever gotten them in hand besides you.
But it's also important to point out that different people have different tolerances for that sort of thing. I've fuckin' gone absolutely off on figures where the torso and arms are different colors when they shouldn't be and had almost everyone else say 'I can't even tell, it's not a big deal.'  So definitely not everyone is going to react to this sort've thing the same way. And if you're less bothered by it in general, you're probably also likely not to notice it -as much-, right?

Definitely something where I'd say if you happen to have all the figures - try it out. See for yourself. But given that they are 100% different greens, I'd also suggest no one buy different sets of turtles -assuming- the parts will look good together. It's gonna depend entirely on the person.

I will never know. I got rid of my original two-pack turtles when there were lots of breakage problems and I didn't wanna deal with that noise. And I never got the TiD set because I had sworn off NECA Turtles when that came out. But they dragged me back in, didn't they? Of fucking course they did.

This set feels like the Channel 6 pack that lingered for quite a bit. It's not a must have, and it's quite pricey. I got it mainly because I wanted the euro heads and will get the singles to mix and match. Of course, I would have much rather have all the heads match the TiD set.

@miraclemen I think you misread my post 😉

Talking about the street turtles set though, I do agree with you.  I love my TID turtles and I don't want to reinvest buying all the Ultimate and street turtles again just to have all the heads and matching bodies.  but honestly I just want toy color NECA turtles at this point.  TID set is borderline perfect if you were lucky enough to get a matte set.  most of mine were matte and i spray-sealed the rest.

My Raph came totally unscathed from Target's eBay store today.  Very glad to be getting these for just under $30 each so far, but I've yet to see Mikey appear in their offerings.  Gonna be a race between that and Target's actual online offering, I guess!

Jackpot.

A set that I had no desire to buy at $60 became a squealing delight for me to find at that price today.  This is also a first.  I've never seen a "manager's special" with this line before. 

Nice find on the clearance set! I had to give up being a completist a long time ago with this line but I don’t think I could resist clearance prices.

Very thankful to get my order in for the updated Bebop & Rocksteady. I wish I had been more patient on the space set and had foolishly caved and gone the evilBay route. Hopefully the Pizza Club turtles are just as easy to get. 

Anybody else hoping that the faceplates from the punk turtles get released in other sets as well? I just cannot justify buying the entire set for that and the groceries. 

My closest Target finally put up the Haulathon display on an endcap yesteray. I know it was then because it had just about everything.

All of the toon stuff was there except pizza club Raph.

Punk 4 pack
pizza club Leo, Donnie and Mikey
business suit Casey 2 pack
rerelease Bebop & Rocksteady
robot Bebop and Rocksteady (don't think I've seen that mentioned before)
Space Usagi
Samurai Usagi
Space Donnie and samurai Mikey 2 pack

Then the Mirage figures, amd the Last Ronin figure, as well as Detective Broadway from Gargoyles.

I passed  on the toon figures because I already got the PC turtles, and the punk set just isn't worth it when I can't really use the heads on another body if I wanted to.

I did grab Kirby, Baxter and Broadway though.
