A big round of thanks to Danny Segura. He was certainly at the right place at the right time, and then kind enough to let a number of us know about the ornament. I ordered a signed edition, and even requested a specific number if possible (it was possible).

This was a great idea Stan, and I'll be looking forward to adding a new one each year!

I like Maka's idea for a wooden playset. That would be cool! I better start saving some money just in case it happens! :lol:

Now we just need Chris to make one of his wooden playsets for Usagi World! :D

Peace, maka
We had already started talking about this with Chris at HeroesCon a couple years ago. However, there is nothing concrete as of yet. We figured we would make the ornament to test the waters, so to speak.

Both sound like loads of fun! I haven't bought an action figure since the original TMNT, way back when, but a wooden playset would be something special. :o

Got mine in the mail today all the way over here on the east coast. It is much thicker than I anticipated, very nice!

I ended up with #6!

That is mine leaning against the milk, so blue.

#1, #5, #6, #10, #16 and the front of a few others have been shared on Facebook the only one that doesn't have the blue bead is #1, Danny's.

I shared mine on FB but forgot to share it here. So here is mine... with blue bead. I specifically requested number 10, as that is one of my birthdate numbers. When I ordered mine, Beth mentioned there was only one ordered before mine, so that must have been Danny Segura.

Here are some of the others, used without their permission... note that Danny's number 1 also has a slightly different head sketch than all the others.

Mine (#51) has a red bead, as does Mayhem's (which is also unsigned).

I also got the blue bead. I'm assuming 1-50 are signed and 51-100 are the unsigned.

I figured there were at least a few of those since the image used in the store featured a red bead.

I have a two red beads for some reason and a unfinished one:

I have number #2 (which would have been Maichan's if he didn't asked for #10, as he always does. :D)

Peace, maka
