    These are new versions of the core cast (Michaelangelo, etc.) who are outfitted with 'ooze cannon' like backpacks, which bear an eery resemblence to the Ghostbuster Proton Packs, only with a scoop that allows the user to 'huck' ooze with the turn of a paddle. Kind of a weird gimmick that could potentially make a mess. Anyway, each of the Turtles has one and is also outfitted in a leather jacket with color appropriate gear, etc. Sucks that each figure doesn't come with an ooze starter pack of some sort, but mine certainly didn't.

    The worst part is they are only articulated at three points; neck, shoulders (back and forth swivel only, no rotating), and waist. The legs are one solid piece. The figure is essentially a brick.

    Overall I say pass, but as a hardcore Turtles fan I just had to snag one for myself to see if they are worth future purchases. Overall I give this new wave a thumbs down. Apparently there will be new assorted villians in this wave as well (Baxter Stockman, etc.), only Target didn't have them when I made my purchase. I'm sure at least at first they will go quickly and be difficult to find.

    Hey gang, If anyone was planning on attending the Amazing Comic-Con this month Groupon is offering up to 75% off tickets for the next few days. There are a few options (days) available. I personally got two tickets for Fri. that would have cost me $50 for only $20.

    Funny, I didn't realize this con was coming up so fast! Guest list does include Jim Lee and Stan Lee, but otherwise seems somewhat anemic at this point. Hopefully they add a few more industry luminaries before they lock in their roster, but with only two weeks to go I don't see much changing. Anyway, thanks for the heads up DW.

    Damn, the one Thurs. I didn't go to this TRU and they have what I'm looking for. Still looking for BH Wheeljack. Oh well, better luck next time.

    Yeah, you're right. And I'm sure someone at the meet up tomorrow will have one I can fiddle with in the mean time. :thumb

    Cool, thanks...just gotta figure out his schedule now so I can find and talk to him. The stupid website for the con doesn't have an itinerary for Jim Lee or a signing date and time, so I'll need any of the group that are going to help me find and hold him down till I can shove my portfolio in his face and force another job offer out of him :)

    TRU at Indian Bend & the 101:

    Couple of FOC Soundwaves and Soundblasters, and an Ultra Magnus. Plenty of Prime FEs, including a couple of Vehicons and Terrorcon Cliffjumpers. Two Beast Hunters Soundwaves. All of the GDO scouts, a deluxe Cliffjumper, a couple of Powerdives, and several Megatrons. Everything else is pretty typical.

    This is a late posting, but I've been out of the house all day. Went to Walmart on Warner and Alma School at 9 in the morning and they had the new FOC figures. 2 Starscream, 2 Sideswipe, and 1 each of the rest in the wave.
