While at Toys “R” Us yesterday, I stumbled upon something cool in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles aisle. They had Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Minimates 2-Packs! But there’s a catch, the figures are being sold as keychains (though it looks like the strings aren’t physically attached to the figures, so yay!). They were listed at $7.49 each. On hand they had:
- Donatello with Shredder
- Raphael with April O’Neil
The back of the packaging reveals the rest of the figures, including a rare variant Mutagen Leonardo. This is great news for those who weren’t into the idea of getting them as blind bagged figures. Check out a few pics after the jump.
TMNT Keychain Minimates 2-Packs at Toys "R" Us


I was in a rush when I snapped the pics, but I don't think the strings are physically attached.
yeah i've seen a bunch of these this week at TRU.
For what I could see, even the individual packages contain the keychain gimmick (search on ebay). And yes, it is removable.
I hope they make it to the online store though. It is the only way for me to get them.
Grabbed the Donny, Mikey, and Raph 2-packs. Haven't spotted the Leo yet. I'm sure I'll come upon one this weekend while out shopping.
Did you open yours up, Joe? If so, were you able to take the keyrings off?
I've seen a bunch of all of the characters but none of the Mutagen Leo.. so I assume either I'm getting to the stores just a few minutes too late or Mutagen Leo is not actually out yet. Toy companies are becoming notorious for things like that (think Dog Pound and Fishface in the Half Shell Heroes line which were huge chase figures for months but now they're overstocked nearly everywhere) so if you can't find Mutagen Leo don't give up.. they'll probably be over-crowding the pegs before we know it. Or maybe not - Who knows?
One last thing to point out - The paint jobs on a lot of these are occasionally not very good so that makes it more worthwhile than buying them in blind bags and risking a terrible paint job.
