The 25th Anniversary Ninja Turtles figures are out at stores now! These reissues of the vintage figures come with a DVD containing an episode from the old cartoon series! Click here to check them out!
Yeah, totally awesome. How much are these and how many more of them can we expect?!
Go Ninja..Go Ninja..Go!
They were $8.99 and they are virtually identical to the original release (with a solid head). Looking at the back of the packaging it looks like this wave will only be the more popular characters
I so want these!
I like the fact that they put the mini Krang with Shredder in there although I wish they released the figure sized Krangs Body version that it came with. I am kinda baffled that Slash made the cut though.
It's also funny how Playmates cut corners using generic packages with Stickers on the bubbles to identify them.
i saw them today. wasn't expecting them either.
Nice! I still have mine, and all complete too, but this is great for those of us who want to relive that time.
Very cool indeed!
I do agree on the packaging, though, could have been a bit nicer, and not half fast
I saw these at Target as well the other day. I was pleasantly surprised!
i would get these for nostalgia's sake... but ever since the 2007 figures... hell even the movie figures with the added articulation, I just can't go back...
I would consider getting Donatello, Casey, April and/or a Leonardo. But I would love a Mutegeon Man, Yusaki Yojimbo and Ray Filet!
hey if anyone has an extra set pm me im looking to buy these..
These just came out at my local Target. I felt compelled to buy them, but I'll wait for a sale or something.
BBTS has the Party Van up for preorder
TMNT 25th Anniversary Original Party Van - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2004-Current) 25th Anniversary at BigBadToyStore
Yeah that van is awesome. I really hope it hits stores and isnt just for online.
Cool little nostalgic kick in the face. I like that with the DVD stickers and such they're unique from the actual originals, but still relatively close enough in style at the same time.
I picked up 5 of each today at target of all 4 turtles.
I'm not sure if I will be picking this up. These cost double the price they were a couple of years back. Also, I want the NECA turtles more, as I read the scans of the original book at the official TMNT site when I was in college, and was blown away by how different it was. I LOVED IT! So the NECA figures appeal to me more.
Nonetheless, seeing these reissues is a nostalgic kick in the face. In a good way. I am all about full articulation, but in rare cases, can overlook it so long as each figure in the line is consistent, plus these are nostalgic to me. It helps that I have no idea where my originals are, and that the last time that I saw them a decade or so ago, their forearms were detached and a pain to reattach(mere pegs, but they were hard to reattach!).
These figures are all consistent in articulation, and I LOVED these as a kid! If we see samurai Leo, the Sting Ray guy, Wingnut, and others, I may bite, I just wish these were cheaper.
Oh and the Party Van? Man I had to give mine up to my cousin when I was 6! See, his dad(my uncle) had bought it for me, but then my cousin started crying, and being that he wanted it more, I gave it to him. So perhaps I will buy the van too. It's been 20 years since I've seen one!

I hope we also see Mutagen Man
Yusagi Yojimbo
And one of my personal favorites Baxter "The Fly" Stockman
Also it would have been nice to see this version of Krang since it was released after I stopped collecting the turtles
