lol fantastic. I've been enjoying the TMNT WWE crossover figures they've been releasing and these look just as ridiculous and fun as well.

As both a TMNT fan who watches the current Nick toon, and a GB fan who doesn't really dabble in the 'extended universe' beyond the films too much (I wouldn't really consider the VG or the IDW comics canon no matter what anybody tries to say)... I personally think their character mashup choices are overall spot on, that is, they couldn't be any better really at least as far as the Nick characterizations.

Lots of other TMNT fans are complaining, saying things like "Leo should be Winston" (makes no sense to me) or even that someone else should be Egon besides Don -- I'm like, WTH? Or being upset that Mikey was made Peter "just because he's comic relief" -- well, duh, isn't that the point? When you're trying to match up mutant turtles and ghostbusters...what kind of mind-blowing depth are you looking for besides simple things like "because he's comic relief"?

What do you guys on this board think or the pairings?

I'm pretty happy with the choices overall, the archetypes of the Turtles don't quite mesh with the archetypes of the Ghostbusters, so they've made some reasonable concessions. :)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Ghostbusters are my two all-time favorite franchises since I was a small child. I need these in my life!

Anyone come across these in Target yet? Target.Com lists them as "currently unavailable" within 100 miles of me.

I've seen them trickle onto ebay, for an outrageous price of course.

I don't know that they've been officially released yet. Some quick Google-fu doesn't come back with any retail hits.

Was able to find Mikey as Venkman and Raph as Winston only. Hit all 3 local Targets too.

I asked one of the clerks to check the other Targets in the area, all sold out and he said the WWE Turtle figures had the same UPC as the Ninja Busters, weird.

I found 3/4 of them in one of my local Target's last weekend. No Donatello/Egon however.

Hopping they refill the shelves before Black Friday.
