Amazing!!! I never knew he was re-released wowza! And Rose nope thats one of playmates pamphlets for the figures :) The collector cards didn't start being packaged with the figures until late 1993.
The Leatherhead figure was a huge bomb. Stores were upset that he didn't sell through so if I remember correctly, Playmates had to credit the retailers or take returns on the figure. Playmates wasn't happy and that's why the figure became a pariah and was never released again. Which makes this 1992 figure pretty cool.
A Neca Leatherhead. A dream come true! Have to wait and see if the assortments sell well enough. My fingers are crossed! I want a version with Dan's eye patch also!
Ummmm that's not true about why the Leatherhead figure dissapeared unless all the action figure magazines I have lied? They say some one at Playmates broke the mold and that is why the figure was never brought back at all. *shruggs* That's the story I've seen all these years. So I mean I'm sure you'd know more than me but just thought I'd share that tid bit of information.
And I think the Neca Leatherhead should have an eye patch also! I think it's should be removable though at this point, and I think Neca are the ones that could do such a thing.
This is from my wish list: Leatherhead He should look as he did either in his first apearance in tales of tmnt or as he did in the story leatherhead Too. He could come with a baby crock version of himself, eyepatch, maybe some tools, & an Utrom perhaps one of a differnt color, or dr. x utrom.
heh btw best Recognize Rose oooo yeah lol I wish it was one of those cards haha, wait on second thought, no I don't I've already got enough of those dang things to track down hahahaha
Very odd, perhaps playmates was telling people that so they didn't look like the jerks they are. I hope I didn't come off as a jerk btw, just thought I'd share what the toy guides where saying about the issue of this figure never being re-released here when figures like Baxter Stockman where released time and time again. *shruggs*

I like it! Looks like there's a trading card packed with him.
-->> ..he also looks kinda cute there.
Only problem with the 'Leatherehead' figs is that the scale was always so rotten.
He needs to be nice and big.
Not the size of a puppy dog.. ;{

Well I knew if wasn't one of THOSE cards. ;P Thought it might be some sort of Japanese card, but it makes sense to be a mini-catalog.

Not true vm. The mold was fine and continued to pump out figures for the markets overseas, as you can see from this fine 1992 Japanese example!

-->> ..perhaps is wasn't misinformation on Playmates part.. but ' miscommunication' on the part of a company spokesman.
Maybe someone was mistaken..and at a a certain point they dropped the U.S. market.
What won't sell here won't necessarily be the same for Japan. And vice-versa ..
guess that explains the Saint Turtle and the other Super Mutants from Japan..
..or Leatherhead.
