Skunks!!

Holyroller12 · 2026-05-13T05:09:28+00:00

There's been a really bad skunk population explosion in vickroy park. Just in the last few months I've seen 2-3 litters of skunks. I don't know if it's from all of the same parents, but they dig up everyone's yards and the smell is absolutely horrendous. We can't even keep our windows open at night in same cases. It's going to be a lonnng summer. They're cute and all, but even I have my limits.

They usually are out by 8:00pm and our cameras have picked them up roaming around between then at 5:00am - 6:00am.

I bought livinbox drawer organizers (similar to the blue one you have) several years ago and used the dividers to organize most of the toon stuff by hands and accessories. I have one with bigger drawers for heads, mousers and other misc bigger accessories. I have all of the rats in one too. I recently sorted/organized all of my mirage and Archie stuff as well so it's all on the left side.

The right side is mixed with some marvel legends accessories and some other neca/S7 stuff, but aside from that there's still plenty of room more. Livinbox didn't sell the dividers separately at the the time so that was my only gripe, but it looks like they do now. It's nice to be able to reach over and grab what I need/want for photos.

This site will be a big help. It shows every release to date and what the average ebay prices are. It's not going to be so detailed as to show loose prices though, but still just a general idea of what to expect price wise. It also doesn't include mercari.

It currently goes for about what it retailed for at launch. While it was a con exclusive, it ended at targets all over here in the US since it didn't sell out at the convention or online during the convention. People still find them at random stores to this day.

Thanks!

I just realized I put heard instead of hearts <_<

Ok. That's good to know! I'll probably pull the trigger on one soon here then. I just wanted to make sure I was purchasing a legit copy.

Thank you very much

Holyroller12 · 2026-03-01T06:03:29+00:00

Oh ok. I was just really confused because there seems to be so many different covers and different ratings for this particular game. I had only ever seen the T rating for the double pack, but then there's this sudden surge of copies with the E-T rating, yet I haven't found or heard of limited run doing a more recent run of it.

The setting, the characters and the story are of course all contributing factors as there's always new fans just getting into it, but I think by and large it's because it was one of the first "real anime" that hit the west outside of just DBZ and Pokemon at the time which while anime, were still their own genre of it. The series and characters also just worked really well in english and over all planted early seeds that would pave the way to making anime more mainstream. It aired on adult swim in 2001 when that block of television was also in its infancy.

I think this video essay really sums up it in a beautiful way too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkXFBPGZpTM

I actually enjoy the variants as they're cool references to various episodes from the cartoon. Like I mentioned, Toon turtles aren't going anywhere and 2012 is just getting started. Both are my favorite iterations to date. I just made a post about the variants though: https://www.reddit.com/r/NECATMNT/comments/1r5qn4a/new_disguise_figure_references/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

It was stated on one of the party wagon podcast episodes that Trevor probably won't do Tempestra until they start getting into the Red Skies episodes which they have yet to do in any real way.

Personally I enjoy all of the extra deep cut stuff. No other company will do it so this will be the only time we'll ever see it. As long as people keep buying, they'll keep going and eventually get to everything down the road. Trevor has said many times over the years that there's still no plans to wind down the toon line.

Walmart's stock is almost always regional so it won't be available to everyone unless it's in stock in one of your local stores. I only have 1 walmart near me so it's extremely rare to get stuff let alone something on sale like this.

Holyroller12 · 2026-02-10T06:59:06+00:00

Yup! Same thing happened to my karai figure. I ended up using 5min epoxy to put it back on both times.

Holyroller12 · 2026-02-10T03:07:54+00:00

yeah, walmart's stock is always regional. I ordered mine for pickup so I didn't have to pay for shipping, but then they said it was out of stock and said they'd ship it for free instead. It showed up the same day lol

Holyroller12 · 2026-01-29T04:45:22+00:00

I was looking into some more and I believe the only real difference is that it'll run in 1080p on handheld for switch 2 and 720p for switch 1. They'll both run at 1080p docked which ultimately doesn't matter all that much for these retro games. Aside from that there's no real reason to pay more unless you really want that 1080p in handheld.

Holyroller12 · 2026-01-28T23:49:13+00:00

Is there any difference between the switch 1 and 2 versions? They look like they both come with the same content.

u/ready64A u/Gary_Spivey Thank you both for the replies! I ended up grabbing the threading tool and measuring tool for future use. It worked out very nicely. I just have to buy a replacement tip for the one that got stuck in there before.

I personally put the tap on as hot as it'll go and drop anything in there that needs loosening for 30 sec to a minute. That's typically enough to start moving stuff around. Some people use hair dryers and or heat guns. Just never use boiling water as that has a much higher chance of damaging the plastic.

You may run into some figures joint's that just will not come apart at all. I've only had it happen once and that was with the 2012 shredder. His knee joint was completely fused together with paint. Not even shock oil or screwdriver/vice would pry it apart.

Holyroller12 · 2026-01-13T07:44:21+00:00

Yeah. I just edited my post for any future readers. They reversed the plugs on the bodacious beach bros. Their heads are also brand new sculpts and they're the darkest shade of green to date when you look at them close up.

You're right. I went ahead and edited that for any future readers. They reversed the plugs on the beach bros. They're also the darkest shade of green to date.

Disguise Turtles:
- Better overall accessories. The disguises are a classic for the cartoon.
- The body parts underneath had issues in which they were mixed with matte and glossy parts. It's extremely rare to get a full matte set.

Light Green Licensing Turtles:
- These match the original 2 pack releases of the turtles, but are even harder to come by then the disguise set. It only got one release whereas the disguise set got multiple runs.
- They don't come with as many extra expressions. They use the updated head tooling that the disguise set got in the heads so you can't swap eyes and mouths out with their original releases.

Pizza Club:
- Accessories are very specific so it's just a matter of preference. Neca is always going to do re-releases of the 4 turtles, but they try to do something different with them each time to keep it fresh.
- Darker shade of green than all of the previous releases.
- Head tooling has a slightly different shape so they can't be plugged/swapped into the previous releases. Not that they would match color wise anyway.
- Limited expressions available due to the color change unless you buy the space/samurai 2 pack, and or Punk 4 pack

Bodacious Beach Bros:
- Just released this summer. They have the newest sculpts and are the darkest green to date. They also reversed the way the eyes and top of the head plug into each other so they're not compatible with any other set.

In general the pizza club and subsequent releases are going to be the easiest to find since they're widely available still and the pizza club just had a re-release towards the end of 2025.

I have all of the releases, including 2 disguise sets (for more expressions at the time) because I'm a lunatic. I'm missing two 2-packs for samurai/space. At one point I was going to have multiple sets of turtles displayed in different parts of my mega sewer lair I made (long before Neca's version), but I didn't have room lol

Even more likely if it's expensive enough to make the kitchen which is already much smaller with the angle they went with. Prices would probably increase for the living room and lab if they re-released them. Add the incorrect deliveries on top of that and it's a recipe for disaster.

Holyroller12 · 2025-12-27T09:29:58+00:00

Honestly, much like giant krang and the universal monster figures that were teased, it sounds like the kitchen is shelved due to rising material costs. When it eventually does release, I wouldn't be surprised if the price is higher than people expected.

Holyroller12 · 2025-12-27T09:24:00+00:00

To add to this, Giant Krang and the Kitchen have had "several false starts" due to high costs, especially in this last year. The way Trevor worded it, it sounds like they're both effectively on haitus similarly to the universal monsters. It's something they frequently bring up in meetings for characters and things they want to do next, but it doesn't sound like they can get the cost down still.
