You might have caught word about this interesting looking repaint of the upcoming Leonardo figure from Playmates Toys. Images of this figure randomly popped up on the official Playmates website with the words “Out of Stock,” and no explanation of exactly where or when this would be made available, if at all.
I saw many posts guessing that this would be a San Diego Comic Con exclusive. But other sites were reporting that this figure would be available in the Fall. With no official word from Playmates, I decided to go straight to the source. I e-mailed Playmates directly and asked for any information on this figure. I received an immediate response from Paula Billingsley at Playmates toys:
“This figure will be available at Comic Con only at this point, and will retail for around $20.00. Leonardo is the only one being made.”
So there you go, ladies and gents! Looks like we’ve got ourselves an awesome looking, official TMNT exclusive at this year’s SDCC! This jumps up my list to being the exclusive I am now most excited about!
UPDATE: Playmates also just confirmed with me that this figure will be sold at the Nickelodeon Booth.

Well here we are. A brand new year! It’s time to put away the Holiday decorations, bundle up for a cold, long winter, and think back on the really important things from the past year.
The toys.
Everyone has a list of their favorite toys released in a given span of time. This is mine! So without further adieu, I present to you my picks for the toys I most loved in 2017!
I’m currently in the middle of my big move to a new house. I know I’ve brought this up a lot over the past few months, but it’s full-on happening right now. As a result, my content will be sparse as I’m focussing on moving to the new location. This may take me a few weeks to get back on track, as along with moving I also have painting, unpacking, a new studio to set-up, etc. So please stick with me. I’ll be back on track as soon as possible.
In the meantime, in case you missed it, I did an impromptu live stream while moving stuff to the new house the other day. While sorting through some of my totes, I found some really rad Skeleton Warriors and TMNT bootleg figures, and I just had to share them. Enjoy the show!
