TMNT Mutant Mayhem

[Bumblebee2000]

Month later and it seems every Tales figure and the five cycles on the shelf all sold at Ingle Farm. Guess there are still people who still needed the Turtles (so much for picking up the robot next time). Not really seen it anywhere else either. Glad it is doing well.

Forgot to say, a few days ago we went to Adelaide Toyworld and they had some new TMNT figures. Video game tie-in stuff, two mutants and the high school Raph and Mikey. $25 each so hoping to find Michelangelo somewhere else... nearly bought him.

Did not see anything new at Kmart Ingle Farm today, alas.

Ah, the latest stuff (Mutants Unleashed) being spotted in the US. Nice.

My kids are asking me about Ray Fillet and the baby mutant figures. Anyone know if we will see that wave at retail in Australia?

[JJJ]

No idea. Playmates doesn't give out much information at the best of times (the latest stuff above had been seen on shelves in the US some time, spotted and reported 05/10/2024, before its actual official reveal this week), and none concerning Australia.

Some of the later waves of Mutant Mayhem have now been seen at US retail, so there's hope that they will also make their way here. It is hard to tell just what's going on, as there are currently three different lines overlapping on shelves - Mutant Mayhem, the original line based on the movie, Tales Of The TMNT, based on the series and represented primarily so far by the mix and match Mutations sub-line, and now Mutants Unleashed, based on the new video game, that turned up out of nowhere earlier this month.

MM doesn't seem to have been cancelled; stuff from it is still slipping out, so I'm thinking that it will continue to do so. Which is good, because we've yet to see the following items that we know were designed and (presumably...) sent into production:

April O'Neil
Younger Splinter (seen in the US mid-August)
kid Mondo
kid Ghengis
kid Bebop (seen in the US mid-August)
kid Rocksteady (seen in the US mid-August)
kid Scumbug
kid Wingnut
Small Fry (kid Fly Guy)
Fly Guy
Ray Fillet (seen in the US 05/10/2024)

On the other hand, it is starting to look more and more like April on her own card, not as part of the Oozing Cruising set, isn't going to turn up in Australia... But then I still haven't seen any evidence that it ever turned up at US retail on its own either.

Thank you kindly for the detailed response. Will be disappointing for my little ones if they can't get those figures, but what can you do
Fingers crossed anyway
