The Dimension X set is gorgeous. I’m not into the videogame paint style, so I’ll wait until the cartoon version comes out.

Is it confirmed that these figures will be repainted in that style?

No, just his assumption based on the fact that NECA tends to reuse their sculpts.

Also it's looking like Gamestop will not be selling the movie figures, so whatever is in Gamestop's computers will likely be toon based or arcade based figures. Most likely the four turtles from last years SDCC set but more details will surely follow if not at SDCC, then within the coming months.

I am so curious as to what the hell these will be?! Haha, I just want for the suspense to be over.

I'm not sure how I would feel if these figures were the same as a previous SDCC/NYCC release because I paid quite a bit for some individually. However, they were worth it to me so no regrets.

Hopefully we hear or see what these GameStop figures are soon.

Specifically he said toon and arcade based figures will be available at Gamestop, 1/4 scale figures will be available at Target and 7" movie figures/box sets will be sold as convention exclusives.

He's not going to drop the ball at Comic Con where they are trying to sell out of an exclusive box set. If you remember, years ago he also said they would never do movie turtles in this scale because they didn't want people to hold out for them and not buy the 1:4 versions. You're naïve if you think these movie molds aren't going to be milked. He only verified the arcade and toon style characters because they aren't currently offering them as a box set.

Believe what you want. But Randy was very clear in the video. You should probably watch it before you start sounding like a know-it-all. 7" movie turtles will be sold at con, 1/4 scale versions at Target and cartoon and video game figures will be sold at Gamestop. So basically, Nick has granted Neca limited permission to sell figures at retail because they want an adult collectible presence in retail stores and at conventions. It's called diversification. We'll all still be able to get turtle products, it's just we have more ways of getting them now.

I did watch the video. The Game Stop screen shot says Movie figure. That's also going to be exclusive to GameStop which is not a giant retailer like Target. So the figures will probably have paint applications that differ from the box set versions, but they WILL be movie figures. You could tell from his tone that he was choosing his wording very carefully.

I’d agree that it definitely looks like we’ll be getting the smaller movie figures at some retail outlets. He’s hinting at everything else coming, why would they exclude the Henson figures?

I get the impression that it’s just a matter of time. Very exciting.

Exactly. They'll be more limited but they're probably a sure thing at this point.

That screen shot said something like January 2019. I figure sometime in the fall NECA will announce they have been able to bring the 7 inch Henson turtles to Gamestop. Sorta like how all of a sudden last year Bigbadtoystore.com had the comi con set for sale. I think they will keep doing the new figures as con exclusives first. then later repackage them as retail release. I would actually rather it be like this. That way must haves for peoples collections are not so damned hard to get.

Lots of good news for me in that video
John Connor YES! I have wanted that version ever since I got Sarah Connor.
Golden Girls way out of left field but I will get. One of my all time favorite shows. I have seen the episodes a million time and still laugh my head off.

Finally that Leatherhead is Awesome looking!
