REVIEW: TMNT Mega Bloks Baxter's Mutation Chamber

From: Megabloks
Retail: £/$14.99
Accessories: Katanas x 3, Laptop, Alternate limbs for Baxter and glass beaker. 

Re-aquiring the TMNT license for construction play may have been the best move Mega Bloks the company has ever made!

For the previous couple of years the boys in green had a successful stint with the Lego brand, but the tenure was not meant to be. In came Mega Bloks for the save and a new beneficial partnership for both names was reborn. TMNT was saved from possibly playing second fiddle to Star Wars and Mega Bloks gained praise from the fanbase for producing some arguably better playsets and figures in the process.

So here we look at the Baxter's Mutation Lab Playset. The box proudly displaying a product image of the assembled setting and in the corner a window-boxed area showing the 3 figures included – Leonardo, Baxter Stockman and a Foot Ninja! The back of the packaging makes this purchase that little bit more mind-blowing by revealing the set technically has a 4th figure! (via swappable extra limbs for Baxter to make him into his original human self). This certainly pushes the envelope a little further on something that would likely be 3 times more expensive if it had the Lego scribed on it. The figures alone make it more than worth the original $14.99 retail price.

Power Rangers MegaBloks Foilpacks Serials Updated

3 more serial numbers found today. These are for Samurai Gold, Red Ranger Training Mode and Battle Damaged Blue Ranger.

The serials themselves are easy to remember in that only the 3rd digit changes between them. It is possible that there may be mystery chase variants (like with Wave 2 of Dr Who Character Building) of figures not pictured in the collectors leaflet. This is just pure speculation as the 3rd digit on the Gold Rangers packet went up to no.9 and there are 8 known figures in the wave.


Here are the updated serials so far: 

Red Ranger Clear - A01111ww
Blue Ranger Battle Damage – A02111ww
Green Ranger Training Mode – A03111ww
Pink Ranger Mega Mode - A04111ww
???Mystery Figure??? - A05111ww
Red Ranger Training Mode – A06111ww 
Mooger - A07111ww
Dekker Human Form – A08111ww
Gold Ranger – A09111ww

.

UPDATE: The official Megablocks website shows there is indeed a chase figure whose identity is hidden by a white silhouette and a question mark. We've also found 2 more serials almost completing the list.
