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.
 
These things are starting to trickle out at Target. They seem fine, though this Raph is pretty jacked up. No bicep swivel is a bummer:

 
Yeah, I decided these are a pass for me. On sale, I might be tempted pretty hard to just pick up Leo for my Leo collection but besides that... I just don't need these.
