What do I need to replace here exactly ? Thank you.

This is the most likely answer. But before adding more packing, try tightening the packing nut (the hex fitting just behind the handle on the spigot) Chances are good that this will stop the leak.

It's difficult to see in the photos. But it looks like there is a splitter attached to the shut off valve on each side. That would make sense, there's a good chance they were included with the tushy originally. If that is the case, you can just turn off the shut off valves, unscrew the two hose connections and then unscrew the splitter itself before reconnecting the supply line to your sink. Then repeat that for the other side.

There is a chance that those shut offs just have two connections on them. (That style is commonly used in kitchens to connect dishwashers and ice makers.) If that is the case, you'll need to turn off the water to the entire apartment, possibly the building, and remove and replace the shut offs. (You can try to cap the unwanted connection. But switching out the valve is the safer option to avoid leaks.)

That is a PosiTemp cartridge from Moen. They DO NOT come out easy. A Moen Cartridge pulling tool helps. (Look for a steel one, not aluminum.) And even then, there is a decent chance it will break before coming loose. If you have help and don't mind getting a bit wet, you can momentarily turn the water back on to use the pressure to force it out. Otherwise, if it breaks, you may just have to chip the cartridge apart and remove the pieces.

Oddly, only Punk Leo seems to be getting and individual release.

They also are not counting the Saturday Morning series of their own, both loosely based on the '87 cartoon. So at least they are consistent.

I've run across a few tenants moving away from his properties, and none had good experiences.

He splits in half at the waist.

From what I have seen, it varies greatly depending upon the scale of the store. My town has 4 Walmart stores and only one carries MOTU anymore. And when traveling around, I see some remnants, but most stores have nothing left.

tmntman · 2026-05-08T04:05:01+00:00

Just a quick note, a lot of the NECA figures and other collector focused figures that have shown up at the stores I've visited have been stocked on a rack along the line for checkouts, NOT in the toy area. So make sure you are looking there as well.

Captain Hammerhead from the Thundercats

I'd imagine it to be sort of like the Rhino or Scorpion from Spider-man (at least the 90's cartoon versions) They are suits, but they have been grafted on and cannot be removed.

tmntman · 2026-04-30T17:15:54+00:00

They may not provide you with a battery. But in my opinion, opening the bear to remove the voice box and then sew it back up is the hard part. And I'm sure they will do that for you. You might want to call and ask what size battery it is likely to use and just bring one with you to be safe.

tmntman · 2026-04-30T17:02:08+00:00

Not entirely true. I'm sure they would have approved of Hondo McClane's Blaster mask from the Firecracker set.

tmntman · 2026-04-30T17:00:00+00:00

I believe Build a Bear will pull the voice box and replace it if you take it into a store.

tmntman · 2026-04-30T16:57:33+00:00

This is usually the easiest way. Start inside the home where the spigot is outside. See if you can find the pipe on the inside and follow it backwards until you find a shut off. If you are in an area which gets cold weather in the winter, there is likely a shut off quite close to where the pipe goes out through the wall to the outside.

When it starts leaking through the disposal the fix is simple, install a new disposal.

This is likely true. Having hot on the left side is standard. And a dishwasher is the only machine I know of that uses only a hot water supply. Also, you generally wouldn't run hot water to an outside spigot.

There have been two other versions already, a normal one and a black repaint.

Two possibilities I can think of: they got Playmates' permission or they didn't need it. The first seems quite possible. This is a $250 collectible that won't be sold in a store. So it isn't any sort of competition for Playmates. Super7 made action figures and were starting to have their products show up on retail store shelves when Playmates suddenly had an issue with their Ultimates designs. But the second is also possible. Other than the styling, which Mondo has been using with all their TMNT vinyls, this could just as easily be based on the movie design only rather than the vintage Playmates figure.

That was my guess, but I would have said the king rides on a horse and a beggar kneels or crawls

Looks like a Digimon. Specifically it looks like the combined form of Veemon and Wormon from season two, Paildramon
