Three. For $50 each.
I saw Kevin's post about 30 minutes after he posted and at the time he had 3 available. 25 minutes later, only 1 was left. I don't know exactly how quickly that final one went, but they were all gone when I checked an hour and a half later.

The new TMNT figures are shipping, including the regular version of Usagi. Grusagi found a couple at Target, but I haven't had any success at my local Target (they had the armored Turtles, however), Walmart, or Toys 'r Us. So keep an eye out.

I will definitely be looking for these. Thanks for the heads-up!

I may need to pick your brain a bit about what paint to use to modify my Usagi. The swords (blade, handle, and all) are plain, unpainted gray and I want to paint his scabbards as well. I also don't like how bold the "whisker dots" are on his face, so I may redo those.

I've been using Vallejo Acrylic Model Paint. It's worked well for me so far. Maybe this would work for the sword blades: https://www.amazon.com/Vallejo-Silver-M ... int+silver.

Good paints, but shake those little beggars well; I still find spots of cork brown from when a clogged nozzle decided to give way on me. :lol:
