We’ve included some shots from the event, where we we had the pleasure of seeing quite a few of you. Some that flew in from as far away from Japan, U.K, Hong Kong and from around the USA. It was …..Mind Blowing are the words I think I’m looking for. All 561 backers had their names up on the big screen for the first time and it was a great feeling to see how far all this has come and where it all started…with you.

Workin Fan’s UPDATE :: Springtime Figures slowly spreadin’ like WEEDS, D.J. Ro-DENT, Megan Fox goes red , Classics Micro LEO

• •

–>> Spring time means thing slowly start to turn “GREEN” ..on peoples’ lawns and on pegs..and the “WEEDS” are starting to pop up their ugly lil’ heads slowly too – so to “ROUND UP” ::

The famous Pixel Dan gives Snakey HIGH MARKS..

**Baxter scores ok .. !!
***Unfortunately .. good ol’ Leatherhead suffers majorly, once again from scale issues. 🙁 It’s a problem Playmates has had haunting it for eons now. However he may be more appropriate in scale for Turtle mini-figs. His sculpt is awesome tho’ on a positive.

So yet again, like a broken record, Tokka’s gonna beg you to exercise patience & WAIT just a tad longer – cuz as this pattern continuously shows .. the figures that do this rotation post ebay usually head over to the brick n’ mortar stores & online retailers like **Playmates’s Web Shop at much more reasonable prices than at online auction. Of coarse, it’s up to you .. depending on your situation & how desperate you are. Oi .. !!

Looks like PTI is gearing up for the anticipated Bebop and Rocksteady as well.

DOLLAR TREE :: “ALIEN” ACTION FIGURE; Green & Tan (( 2012 ))

☢ ☢

–>> As TURTLE fans know, crazy Alien epidemics have been all the rage for Don and the rest of the teens since near DAY 1.. so the media’s just gonna need to realize it’s nothin’ new.

DOLLAR TREE’s “ALIEN ACTION FIGURES” aren’t necessarily the answer to Steve Murphy’s mysterious and freaky “SONS OF SILENCE” from the good ol’ TMNTA of the ’90s..

..however, if ya let Tokka “PROBE” your brain for just a little bit – maybe he can help you come up with an oddball play option for your collection that comes kinda close. Well maybe – maybe not.

One part creepy, one part crappy, maybe a little cute, maybe a little ugly, but absolutely cheap !!

Available for a little over a year now at Dollar Tree stores, and apparently still available at some of them .. these big-eye, big-head..but-ugly buggers with the somewhat menacing looking blasters & unused battery compartments are only articulated at the neck and arms. But again for a buck ..these bugs are super affordable

Far as i can tell, only 2 variants of the same mold exist; green and tan. However, in similar packaging & slimmer scale are two-packs of “Ninja Aliens” using similar generic male body molds for Dollar Tree’s Power Ranger & Wrestling toy knock-offs but with Spider-man like heads.

If ya got a penchant like Tokka does for all things weird & bootleg-like these guts may be up you’re alley. Whadda ya got to loose for only a buck ??!
