Dragonrider and Time-E, I concur.

April O’Neil was virtually impossible to find. When the TMNT action figures first came out, she was on the back of the box along with the 4 turtles and Splinter. So, one could say, that she was meant to be one of the 1st edition TMNT Action figures to come out.

I searched high and low for years, in hopes of finding her one day, I collected the tons of other TMNT action figures that came out, just to keep my fight scenes in line with the cartoon series.

I finally stopped collecting these action figures when they started to get lame with "Hockey Leo" and crap like that. Then months later, as if the world was trying to define the meaning of serendipity…

THERE SHE WAS….APRIL O’NEIL, I almosted S-ed myself! FINALLY! I can complete the "original" set of action figures. April O’Neil was the Terri-Bull of the M.U.S.C.L.E. Men, (to paraphrase Matt) the trump card to all TMNT Action Figure Collectors. I soon became the envy of my whole block.

The only crappy part about April was her stance. She was virtually impossible to pose in a standing position. Most of my fight scenes I constructed with my army of TMNT Action Figures consisted of her leaning up against a wall, another action figured, or her having been knocked out and laying on the floor.

In all my years of collecting TMNT action figures, I never knew they made a Giant Android Krang Suit. I knew they had one, but I never knew it was that big.

Incidently, I have 2 versions of Krang, one in his "Wheel-chair" like robot suit, that Shredder gave him before the Android suit was constructed and another Krang, in his Android Suit, but his Suit is NO WHERE near the size that Matt has featured.

Keep up your awesome work Matt.

My brother had this one. The problem with this figure was it really couldn’t stand too well on it’s own and it couldn’t get into the technodrome.

The later smaller version of the figure was made toward the end of the series’ first run and is probably rarer than the 11 inch one.

my favorite part of the show—no wait, krang was the ONLY reason I watched the show. I had the original toy version of him with the little walker, but never the full body. I used to immitate his laugh to my little sister “blabba-blab-blab-blab” or something like that.

my all time favorite scene with krang, the one I still laugh about with my sister to this day, was the episode where krang got a giant spider-tank-blow-shit-up machine for his body and was attacking the city. then the turtles messed it up and krang yells “Time to bail out!” so this spring under his chair just sends him flying about two hundred feet.

Thankfully, Shredder drives up and sees our favorite brain about to splat on the sidewalk as gravity catches up with him. Shredder shouts to the android body (who seems to have some autonomy without krang inside) “CATCH HIM YOU FOOL!!!” and somehow that android made a football catch of krang and sticks him right into his stomach with a cute “splat” sound.

fantastic TV moment. I’ve been shouting “Catch him you fool!” to my little sister at least once a year since.
