Live and learn.

I know the green glitter stuff from the original run got re-released or something because I saw that they were restocked at BBTS.

They have these new Mini figures at Toys R Us. Comes in a 4 pack of each turtle

So I recently picked up a green Mike and Don from another member and since Don was the only green ooze mini I already had I assumed I'd have a dupe. But they're different colors?  Below you can see my original on the far left, and the new arrivals to the right (Mike is just there for reference)

 

 

I knew the different turtles each came in different colors of green but I would have assumed the color to be determined by the sculpt. Does anyone know if they each come in all four colors? Or were there possibly different production runs done in a different hue? Surely this isn't the result of the ooze staining this soon like is seen with some of the vintage GitD turtles...

Earlier in the thread was a mention of a "reissue" of the first Ooze canisters. Maybe the color variation is due to different colors being used in such a production run? That, or maybe the Don you just received is actually an error figure, because that shade of green looks exactly like the green color used for Leonardo.

 

Ahh, revisiting the first pages of this thread is great.

Well I might have figured this out. I just came across this listing:

Ohhh China, with your knockoffs and your "lunchtime specials".

 

If you don't care about the right colors though, that is a heck of a way to amass toitles for dirt cheap.

Hahaha "Lunchtime Specials"

That needs to be accepted terminology for that type of auction, hahahaha

[BaltanII]

Can't take the credit for that! It actually was used in the Transformers community for years but was mostly discarded. There's not really a perfect term to describe Chinese factories running off excess products behind the backs of the companies hiring them to make the products.

[ironmask]

I think "Lunchtime Special" sums it up perfectly.
