Turtle Thursday’s 1K Follower “Shellabration” is a collector-focused livestream packed with TMNT action-figure deals—especially loose figures. If you’re trying to score bargain Ninja Turtles and you want a clear way to shop the listings efficiently, this guide breaks down what the show covered and how to find the right items.
Turtle Thursday 1K Follower Shellabration overview
The video celebrates Turtle Thursday reaching 1,000 followers. The host runs the event in an auction-style format designed to move through lots quickly, including many TMN(T) loose figures.
Viewers also get a look at how future shows are scheduled and how rewards perks connect to the community. Purchases are noted to ship the next morning.
How the TMNT auctions work ($1 starts and more)
A major theme of the Shellabration is low starting bids on loose items.
- Many loose figures are described as starting at $1.
- Additional rounds use higher starts—specifically $5 starts, and for select items $10 starts.
As the host moves through rounds, they also point out that loose listings may not be complete. Condition notes are a recurring part of the presentation, helping viewers understand what they’re bidding on.
What “loose” can mean: condition notes to expect
Because the event focuses heavily on loose action figures, condition and completeness vary from item to item. The host repeatedly flags common issues viewers should watch for, including:
- Missing accessories
- Incomplete figure parts
- Damage or wear, such as scuffs or separated/detached pieces
- Stability/pose challenges (for example, figures that don’t stand as easily)
The stream also mentions specific examples of incomplete or altered items while showing the lots, reinforcing that bidding is closely tied to condition.
TMNT figure auction examples discussed during the show
The Shellabration covers multiple turtle characters and figure lines, including loose figures and some boxed or “available both loose and in-box” possibilities. During the livestream, the host showcases several items and emphasizes condition differences.
Examples of figure types/lines referenced include:
- Loose and/or incomplete TMNT figures across different eras and character versions
- Mentions of specific characters during walkthroughs of lots (including items described as lacking wings, missing accessories, or having paint scuffs)
- A “next mutation” Donny figure being referenced during the early loose-figure segment
Rather than treating these as guaranteed inventory picks for future events, the key takeaway is how the host evaluates and explains each lot before or while auctioning.
How to shop efficiently: using the auction tab and search filters
A core practical part of the video is teaching viewers how to find listings inside the auction system.
Use “loose” to filter the right listings
If you want to see loose items similar to what’s being auctioned, the host specifically recommends typing “loose” in the auction tab to filter the loose listings.
Use broad figure search terms
To pull up relevant results, the host also directs viewers to search using terms like:
- “figure”
- “action figure”
For Pop figures, the host notes that you can search “pop” (and also mentions Pop figures can be found via figure-related searches).
What to find by category
The stream also references other categories beyond action figures (including comic books and other merchandise categories), and it directs viewers to different buying paths such as “auction tab” and “buy it now” depending on the item type.
Rewards club coupons and giveaways/deals
Beyond the auctions, the show highlights community benefits for viewers.
- The host welcomes viewers into a rewards club.
- They mention providing coupons that can be used on the current show or future shows.
The event framing (“Shellabration” and 1K milestone) is tied to these community perks, with the host emphasizing how the deals are meant to return value to supporters.
Schedule: when Turtle Thursday and other shows run
The livestream also functions as an update on the broader show schedule.
- Action figure shows are scheduled every Tuesday.
- The stream notes additional event days for other content, including comic-related events on Mondays and Saturdays.
The host also references upcoming events and mentions an end-of-month Free Comic Book Day in New Hampshire (Jetack Comics) and a later event called Granite Con in September.
Inventory updates mentioned during the video (and what may be sold out)
The host mentions that some brands or items may not be available at the moment.
For example, the video says they are sold out of NECA at the time of the livestream.
The host also discusses other inventory-related notes as items are shown, which reinforces the idea that the auction lineup can change quickly and may not be fully predictable from prior shows.
Super 7 reaction figures and “dollar start” bidding
Toward the later portion of the stream, the host says they can finish the show with new-in-the-box Super 7 reaction figures and plans to start them at $1.
This is presented as part of the same 1K celebration deal structure, continuing the pattern of low starting bids for selected rounds.
Buying and fulfillment: when orders ship
Near the end of the video, the host confirms that purchased items will ship out the next morning.
Conclusion: how to approach the next Turtle Thursday auction
Turtle Thursday’s 1K Follower Shellabration focuses on practical deal shopping: many loose TMNT figures starting at $1, plus $5 (and some $10) start rounds, with condition notes that matter for collectors.
If you want the most relevant results before a livestream—or while browsing the auction inventory afterward—start with the auction tab search approach the host highlights:
- Search “loose” for loose listings
- Use “figure” and “action figure” for broader results
- Add “pop” when looking specifically for Pop figures
With action figure shows scheduled every Tuesday, Turtle Thursday’s auction format is designed to keep collectors moving through lots efficiently—while calling out what’s complete, what’s missing, and what has wear.
