Annoying issue but luckily it can be easily fixed, the position of each eye can be changed from inside the head of the figure
are you sure it's easy? did you try it already, and if did, can you show photos of how to reach the eyes?
i thought they are glued, and the head is sealed.
 
His eyes are a fraction off i can tell but i can deal with it.

i guess mine are... alright.
at least they both look in front direction, though one looks more up than another.

i'm actually now afraid to order the first batch Michaelangelo.
 
Well, when I popped Leonardo's head off and looked up inside it you can see the piece that the eyes are attached to and you could conceivably pry it out.

No, I didn't do it for now, but another guy in this forum or in technodrome forum did it and posted some pics, I haven't been able to find the post. Anyway it wasn't that difficult, he simply pulled out the head, just by force but you can choose to heat it up before, inside he found a plastic strip which keeps the eyeballs together. This strip is probably glued to the inner part of the head, the guy heated the strip up so to be able to unglue it, moved the eyeballs as he wanted, re-glued the strip back to the inner part of the head, heated up the head and put it back in place.

I'm not a member of that forum. I would love to see those photos of the head with the eyes inside, if someone could download them and post them here I would be very thankful

sorso, Psycho, LeoRaDoMic - thank you for that info about heads. i hope it will never get useful for me, but other people can already fix their turtles eyes.
 
My Raph fell over the other day. Does anyone know of any nice-looking stands for these guys? Something like the Enterbay ones would be nice.

You could make your own for maybe 10.00

Get an wooden 7 x 9 plaque from hobby lobby
Buy the 6 inch wooden doll stand
Un screw the metal base from the wooden doll stand.
Mark the holes on the wooden plaque.
Drill the holes you marked.
Paint the wooden plaque your disired color.
Let the paint dry for 4 hours or so.
Clear coat the wooden plaque let it dry over night.
Screw the metal rod to the base.
Use an hot toys crotch grabber for support.
