Yeah, while I agree that they can IMPROVE the look of the line, I also think Neca’s worst is 10x Playmates best.

BlackDots Super Vinyl Collectible Bebop and Rocksteady figures are the best looking ‘87 animated Bebop and Rocksteady toys I have seen anywhere.

Not bad (Blackdots). The details are really soft though. They’re also a weird scale. Can youpost the image, I can’t

No way Rocksteady’s head was that big in the show.
They do look like the cartoon, but the details are soft. I prefer the definition in the action figures from Neca, but ideally we’d have a better detailed hybrid version, both toon accurate with fine sculpted details. |

The NECA Target 2 pack figures look too much like action figures when they should looked like the Sealab 2021, Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law, and Space Ghost Coast Coast figurines from 14 years ago. I deliberately left out Aqua Teen Hunger Force from the Adult Swim line because darker black lines were used to highlight Master Shake’s eyes in the same vein as the black lines painted on the wrists and knees of the turtles in the Target 2 Pack line. All Cartoon Turtles figures should look as if they were 3D scans of the 2D characters. Exact carbon copies. Unfortunately, NECA does too much sculpting for the Target 2 Pack line. Perfect FW Turtles toys will not ever exist. The Animation Art Cels are good enough in the place of them. |

Bro, you need to recognize that your opinions are just your personal preference and not fact.

It’s weird right, because the movie turtles are pretty damned accurate, scarily so, given they can’t scan the original suits, and just have old Photos to pull from. You’d think the cartoon would be easier. We should have gotten exactly what was on screen, but maybe the real question is, what WAS on screen? The first mini looks different from season 2 looks different from red sky etc etc. The style changes when you really pay attention, and I’m sure you do. The neca toon turtles, they are very close to the model sheets. PCS has gone even closer, with sculptures that look a lot like the intro, but not exactly. They seem to have too much anime in them, overly large beaks etc. But my man, Neca gave is something very close to what we’ve wanted. Maybe its the licensing angle you don’t get, but that IS THE PROBLEM. You’re ascribing choice, not thinking about the negotiations behind the scenes. Playmates has been very hostile, blocking this move for years. |

The FW Turtles were less detailed than the 2k3 Turtles. Detail is not need for the Target 2 Pack figures.

I agree with you. From 1987 to 1996, there were too many different versions of the turtles. I think the ‘88 to ‘91 syndicated series Turtles would have been more recognizable. I think that’s what NECA was going for, but they missed the mark by trying to get the ADULT ACTION FIGURE COLLECTORS. I would say the license for the original toon should go to Funko, so Funko action figures, like the ones for the Disney Afternoon, could be produced. Unfortunately for Turtles fans, none of the companies seem to have good material to base their collectibles off of. NECA appears to almost be going by the TMNT Retro Collection designs. I still say NECA should discontinue the Target 2 pack line altogether. The wave 2 turtles of the Target 2 Pack line definitely resemble the Retro Collection turtles. If I were a NECA Cartoon collector, that would throw me off. Perfect FW Turtles will not ever be made. Perfection does not exist in this world. |
