On my regular Usagi, the swords are different lengths.

By the way, how much are these things going for at Walmart? I did not see a price on the one I looked at. and I did not think to look for a price on any of the Samurai Turtle figures while I was there.

I think about $9 for the basic Usagi and Turtles figures, and $19 for the one with the horse.

hmm, so they are! Not as different as they should be, but this is extremely minor.

At the Turtles panel, we were told the Walmart exclusive 12" Usagi should arrive in stores Aug. 7.

Found Armoured Usagi at Walmart today (Westminster, CA).

Still looking for regular Usagi, and Usagi with Horse.

I have seen this TMNT series at several Targets, and one Walmart, but so far not at either of the TRU stores I visit.

I received a PM from a friend on another forum (completely un-Usagi related ...... it's a forum about diecast cars), that he found an Usagi with War Horse for me!

Two down, one to go!


While I'm here I thought I'd share this photo that I posted on Facebook...

Caption was...

Guy on the left, "I am Miyamoto Usagi."

Guy on the right, "No, I am Miyamoto Usagi!"

:roll:

Shouldn't we call that a "bunny tail"?

"Bun bun".... :lol:




I guess you could say it's the equivalent of "hat hair"..... "helmet ears"?

Now that I think about it, I don't think Stan has ever drawn Usagi's ears while he is wearing a hat. They are always tucked up under it and the cartoon has them out. Of course I could be wrong. :lol:

Interesting. We were told at the TMNT panel at SDCC that they wouldn't arrive until the 7th. Looks like they're arriving early. :o
