What's wrong with my tomatoes?

Hi all, my tomatoes are wierd!!! Only the ones I grew from seed are affected and it's my first time growing from seed. They seem to ripen a wierd pink colour rather than red on one side and are sort of opaque if that makes sense? They are firm enough to touch but the actual flesh is quite mushy and the skins are very thin which is most unusual as they are outdoor ones. The variety is Tumbling Tom (Red) and I've grown them loads of times before with great success. They taste ok but not as much flavour as normal.

I've got loads too and they're all finally starting to ripen but they are all wierd lol!!!

I also grew 3 '100s and 1000s' tomato plants that I bought as plug plants and they are not affected. I won't be getting them again though as, yeah you get loads, but they're the size of peas!!!!

Hope someone can help!!!

Thanks.

I don't think it's something I've come across before, although the pink fruit do ring a slight bell, but I can't remember what about.
Just use different seed next year.

Thanks for the replies. Here are the piccies, I hope I've picked the right links!!! One is a tomato that's just starting to ripen and the others are ripe/nearly ripe ones.

Some of the tumblers are pinky - Gartenperle is too, and the texture from what I recall (grew last year - not this year) was quite thick and not very juicy.

Personally I find the tumblers a bit tasteless, if you've ample room for normal varieties stick with these.
