A while back I was
watching a pickup video when I noticed a guy had bought a Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles (TMNT) piggy bank. I wanted that
bad boy instantly and so I went on a search for it. Unfortunately it wasn’t sold in Canada, and
importing it from the US would be too expensive so I decided to pass. Thankfully my patience paid off because this
week Walmart finally stocked the TMNT piggy bank. From my knowledge the Raphael version is the only
version released in this model.
Michelangelo is my favourite Turtle, but I’m okay with owning Raphael. Ralphy is directly inspired by the original
TMNT animated series, is pictured with his weapon of choice the sai, and is
wearing his signature red bandana.
The piggy bank cost
$10 in Canada, which is a steal because that’s also the US price (considering
our dollar value is plummeting). This
piggy bank was produced by FABNY, and was made in China in 2014. The paint job is pretty nice with a lot of
detail and very little imperfections.
While it’s meant to keep change, I plan to keep it as a
collectable. FAB NY has also produced
other figures such as Batman and Hello Kitty, so I hope they keep up the great
work and we get to see other popular figures such as the Simpsons and Nintendo
characters in the future.
