Weekend Toy Run: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Movie Exclusive In Stock at Toys R Us

While we were busy at San Diego Comic-Con, our good friend Paul was keeping an eye out for online deals, and sent us this info. All four Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Collection figures from the original 1990 movie are in stock – they are exclusive to Toys R Us. Each is $19.99, and if you get all four you’ll trigger free shipping for orders over $49.

While these could use just a little more paint to give that turtle skin some spots and texture, that should be easy enough for anyone to do. I’m hoping that Leonardo’s expression won’t look so [add your descriptor here – mine is “constipated”] in hand. Thanks to Paul for the heads up!

Toy Fair 2014: Playmates Adds 1990 Movie Turtles to TMNT Classics Line-Up

Go ninja! Go ninja, go! Playmates has added Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo from the 1990 live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie to their TMNT Classics line. Although this was not confirmed by Playmates representatives at Toy Fair, I’m giving kudos to Playmates for what is sizing up to be a big public service. Older fans like you and me will be able to take comfort with these figures, as Michael Bay proceeds to destroy another childhood memory this summer. 😉

While I generally like what they’ve done with these figures, I think with the individualized head sculpts they could have gone a little further, with Raphael in particular. The belts ride high, and some freckles would really cement the paint apps. With the new movie coming out this summer, I get why Playmates would release these – but we really need some Classics Foot Ninjas and Shredder.

Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Rocksteady and Bebop Quick Packaged Pics #NickTurtles #TMNT #CaseysBack

Playmates TMNT Classic Rocksteady and Bebop packaged - 1

I’ve fallen so far behind on pics from my collection. Here’s a few quick shots of Rocksteady and Bebop from the Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Collection. Sorry – they’re still packaged, even though I intend to open them. When you consider that Playmates went this route instead of the obvious Shredder / Foot Ninjas, it’s remarkable because these are two fully-tooled figures. Upon closer inspection, there were some cuts to make it more feasible – looks like there’s no hip swivels or ankle joints.

You can still pick up the TMNT Rocksteady and Bebop at ToysRUs.com – they’ve got the exclusive on these two figures. Despite the shortcomings with the leg articulation, if you’re a TMNT fan, I think they’re still must-haves.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Rocksteady and Bebop at TRU.com

Rocksteady Bebop

Our best tipster, Paul, wrote in early this Black Friday with great news for TMNT fans – the Classic Collection Rocksteady and Bebop are in stock at TRU, both in stores and online!

Some Black Friday shopping for you. My local TRU has lots of TMNT classic Bebop and Rocksteady figures. Funny thing is they have them on their website but TRU has the worst taxonomy so you can almost never find them. Here are the links to purchase, currently in stock and will ship in 1-2 days. May go fast so good luck.

Thanks much, Paul!

Argh! – I Missed the TMNT Classic Rocksteady and Bebop at the Playmates Store #NickTurtles #TMNT

Rocksteady Bebop

I’ve been waiting for these guys from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Collection ever since their Playmates team let us know that Rocksteady and Bebop were on the verge of hitting toy shelves at Toys R Us. But this was back at the start of September, and there’s been no sign of them whatsoever.

Then, last night, Kastor of Kastor’s Korner posts on Facebook that they’re both up on the Playmates Store site. I didn’t even know Playmates had an online store. And of course, I didn’t see the posts until early this morning, so it’s back to waiting for TRU. Here’s the links for Rocksteady and Bebop on the Playmates store, if you are borderline OCD and want to keep checking for them to come back in stock – hit me up if they do!

In the meantime, sign up for Nickelodeon’s TMNT Fan Club. Some great giveaways going on there, including their TMNT Holiday Prize Pack. Cowabunga, dudes!
