    He was introduced as "Ygor the Hunchback." So I still think it's a bad choice for a monster.

    I think the confusion comes because igor and the hunchback are two unique people/characters. The hunchback originated from the hunchback of notre dame and is named Quasimodo which is actually a written character while igor originated from films about Frankenstein where he is often portrayed as a hunchbacked second hand to Dr Frankenstein. That igor was not actually in the original Mary Shelley's novel but rather originated from films. Thus the two identities have sort of swirled into 1, but in actually the hunchback is a unique character of its own.

    It would be interesting to see them do something completely different than just a different universal monster for each turtle and to make a cohesive set of characters from just one monster movie. Raph as the monster, Leo as Igor, Donny as Dr. Frankenstein and I don't know who Mikey would be from the movie, an angry villager with a pair of nunchuck torches?

    I think that could be fun if they could do the waves for other universal monster movies. Dracula could have a turtle play the part of Dracula, Jonathon Harker, Van Helsing and maybe April as Mina Harker.

    I'm probably more likely to pick them up if this is the case.

    Wow I missed that. That is actually a bad choice then. Especially since that Target listing someone found showed that Michelangelo will be the Mummy. They didn’t show Donatello but I was hoping he’d be something good. I’m not so confident about that now.

    I don't really mind the character choice since it's not like whoever they do will be a complete set; they're just random figures. Leo looks great, the monster figures look like they've got all the detail and more of the movie figures.

    Yeah same, I don't care about the boards at all. I like Super7's Mousers so I'm just going to get 1-2 packs of those.

    Not sure about these, they kind of look cool as is, but don't resemble TMNT at all.

    I was able to snag the Blimp from Walmart online and could not be more dissatisfied with their shipping. This is how I received it, and the art box was squished to one side that it looks like someone tried to open it. What a joke. Not only is it a combination of how they packed the box, but also Fedex as well. I'm filing a complaint, if only so they know how awful this is.

    Sorry man that looks harsh. Wouldn't be surprised if that was a returned package bc of the way it looked and it was put back on website for resell.
