To get him, I had to buy a lot of bootleg TMNT minifigures:
Other than Shadow Leo, the rest of the turtles are lame variant versions of relatively easy to get ninja turtle minifigures; divers and stealth turtles. Nothing to write home (or an entire blog post) about.
The Kraang robot and Shredder are nice to have though. And they ALL come with skateboards - that's pretty radical! Shredder is supposed to come with two claws, but one was malformed junk - the first issue I have yet had with my limited Chinese LEGO bootleg experiences.
Fun stuff I suppose, and totally worth it just to have Shadow Leo (and a pile of random minifigures) for incredibly cheap!
I just got a few of these today myself Eric! Check your Gmail i sent you a picture of them. : )
ReplyDeleteThey are cheap and hard to resist!
DeleteTotally! I missed out on the Krang but next time and i got a couple ShengYuan figs too i will send you a picture of them. : )
DeleteCan some one send me a link on where I can get the shadow Leo (among others)?
DeleteJust search on eBay for them. That's where I found mine.
DeleteMan, I hate all those exclusive minifigures and really exclusive anything. It's nice that you can still get them from other sources, mwahahahahaha! :D
ReplyDeleteIndeed. The super-limited SDCC LEGO minifigure this year was The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh! I can't wait to get a bootleg of that one!
DeleteGreat post, my friend. I recently just went to this zany "Tomato Festival" in Cape May, NJ and picked up the Kraang minifigure. I figured he was a bootleg, but your site confirmed it! Thanks bud!
ReplyDeleteIf you pull the legs from the torso you can tell it's a bootleg too, because the leg connection component is different from official LEGO minifigures.
