Those friends sets look more like the Funwhole brand that tattoodjay has been sharing in his posts. I didn't realize they made a TMNT line of Legos. That is pretty cool. Well out of my price range though!
They made a whole bunch on Ninja Turtle sets, that Shadow Leonardo is way outside my investment range on LEGOs though. The Friends really are more realistic which is why it kind of surprised me they didn't catch on well with little girls.
Yeah, that is quite interesting. The popularity of TMNT in general still confounds me.
