This one will cost you $89.99 and is expected to be released in May as a Previews Exclusive that will be available from most online collectible retailers, and comic shops.
This one rounds up all the necessary villains, with the exception of Shredder, since he’s in the other box set. The mastermind talking alien brain Krang in his little robot walker, the mutant henchmen Bebop and Rocksteady, the hulking turtle villain Slash, the mutated scientist Baxter Stockman, and a generic Foot Soldier. All the bad guys come inside a box that looks like the Mutant Module vehicle. This one will cost you $100 and is expected to be released in September as a Previews Exclusive that will be available from most online collectible retailers, and comic shops.
