Playmates TMNT x G.I. Joe

They said it at Toy Fair, I saw it in Pixel Dan's walkthrough at the time.
 
15.99 seems like a decent price. POs for the brothers are already sold out at Target. I think these will be an in-person impulse buy. If I see them, I'll take a closer look and decide. I don't have room for the vehicles, but I do want that April if I get the rest.
 
Nah. I don't need 20 USD one-off Joe-Turtles. It's a fun idea. We almost certainly will never get more than what's been shown, so it's 100% just a novelty thing. I can go for a novelty toy at 9.99-12.99 USD. Anything over that and I better be actually interested in it from more than a 'look, that's neat!' perspective.
 
I'm curious what kind of numbers these are produced in. It wouldn't shock me if a bunch of speculators are hot for these if they think they'll be limited with Playmates losing the license. I was never big in GI Joe so they're not for me. That Mikey is slightly tempting if I think of him as a Shore Leave mash-up, but he'd need a stache. Slash does look legitimately awesome as Storm Shadow so maybe I'd impulse buy that if I happened upon it, but I have a feeling he's going to sell very well and that probably won't happen.
 
I'll probably end up with Bebop and Rocksteady, but I'm not a big enough fan of GI Joe to really need anyone else. MAYBE the Destro Krang? I think it's a fun sub-collection overall, and I'll grant it has some nice color pop. Just not one for me.
