NECA '87 Toon TMNT

Nostalgia Unboxed (is he going by JN now?) has been an asshole to me on numerous occasions. He can die in a fire. I definitely would not take his word on any one or anything, lol.

Yeah, Nostalgia Unboxed. A lot of people just call him Johnny Nostalgia (I think Hatter may have even started that). I've always had good interactions with him, but that sucks that you did not.

I wasn't planning on getting them, but I was at a local Target today and they had 2 sets each of both vacation turtles and granny Bebop/baby Rocksteady, and I grabbed a set of each.

I had just gotten a Teeny Tinies sweet shop set with various ice cream treats, and they just go so well with these figures.

I know the old saying is “if everyone you meets an asshole, maybe you’re actually the asshole” but Mad Hatter and Nostalgia Unboxed both rub me the wrong way.

I had written a whole rant about why, but I deleted, I don’t want to be a negative person anymore (Although it mostly boiled down to: why mad at ‘flippers’ in 2025?!?! And charging for paper crafts is TACKY)

On topic:
I thought I lucked out when I got Granny Bebop and Adult Baby Kink Rocksteady during the “$10 off $40 sale”, but then I went into a physical Target and saw them, the Evil Dead Ash and Cheryl 2-pack, and Hammer Van Hellsing… Had two Red Card offers THAT STACKED, for $15 off an $80 total purchase and $20 off if you buy $90 of electronics/collectibles… AND I Got the Buy 2 NECA Get 1 Free offer, so if I still consider B&R a $55 purchase, I got Cheryl and Ash for $20 off, AND a free Van Hellsing so I could display him with his coat off… not a bad deal! (And I’ll just return the B&R I bought online later)

That's a bummer to hear. I've never had any interactions at all with him - but he always struck me a lot like Robo; generally upbeat and positive and unlikely to be rude or mean to anyone besides the occasional weirdo pro-AI right-wing trolls that crop up.
