For me it's a little flipped... lots of toon/figure characters I'd love to see in the grungy Mirage style. Especially Bebop and Rocksteady.

Definitely wondering if it'd be worth it to go through the hassle of trying to offload Tattoo or just try and pick up Wyrm secondhand...

100% in the same boat. I loved my Wyrm figure as a kid but Tattoo is not something I'd want in my display.

I'm in the opposite boat - I actually am only really interested in Tattoo. I have no idea why I have such fond memories of that figure from my childhood, but I do. He was just a blank slate figure I could kind of do whatever I wanted with, and I always loved big bruiser bad guys - so I made him my TMNT version of Blob or E-Honda or something. Would like to have him again, but not at 2-pack + shipping + conversion rate prices. And that's if I could ever find these stupid sets anyway, which is doubtful.

But I might pickup a Walkabout and King Lionheart (I don't think he was in the cartoon?)

I'd also be into some of the figure variants, like Rapper Mike, being translated into a toon version.

Lionheart was not in the cartoon, but as my favorite vintage figure I would LOVE to see him translated into the toon look, like they did with Samurai Leo (into Samurai Mikey, unfortunately). Also, fairly faithful adaptations of the Rocker Turtles into the toon style would actually be pretty awesome for sure.
 
OK... anybody out there that wants Wyrm but not Tattoo? I want that Tattoo figure but do not at all want that Wyrm... I hate these two packs because over and over again I want only one half of the pack. It is very frustrating. I have bought at least 5 different NECA Turtles two packs where I sold off one of the figures I didnt want. I wish they just released them all as singles so it wasn't necessary.
 
I really wish they would announce at the beginning of Haulathon the schedule for what is going up each Friday. I hate waiting until Thursday night to know what all of it is. If you are budgeting your toy expenditures it really makes things hard.
 
Hilarious that seemingly the only thing we all have in common is wanting one figure from the set instead of both. It's almost like the two figures appeal in completely different ways and shouldn't be in a pack together 😯😯
 
Maybe? It's not like these villain two-packs don't shelf warm, the only stuff that sells out is mainline turtles and the most-popular villains.

(I'm really just bitter that I missed out on the Space Don/Samurai Mikey set from the last drop)
 
I never got the Space Don and Samurai Mikey set either but I was trying to cut back. I always think I'm not doing a good job of cutting back and then something like this pops up and I realize that I have actually told myself no sometimes 😂
 
These Haulathon drops have seemingly done a good job of reducing shelf warmers around me. The only things lingering from last year are the vacation Bebop and Rocksteady set and Archie Leatherhead. Even the Stump Wrestling sets sold out, just not instantly. Same with Shredder Karai and Baxter. I don't know if any of these current figures will hang around. The Dark Leo has lasted near me, but I think there's only two left. My store also never got the new four pack, I can see that one taking awhile to sell out

Went by Target today hoping to see some new stuff, but my store hasn't received any additional Haul merch. I guess if I want Panda Khan I should just grab him tomorrow during the online drop.
 
I took my chances and ordered just the one. I'm guessing it is a separate piece that maybe I could heat and pry off if I have an issue?
