Of course NECA doesn't have great articulation either so I guess Super7 doesn't need to aim very high to compete.
where is this "limited" articulation you are talking about? They look to have the same articulation as MOTU Classics

Virtually the same, wow. I'd just switch out the ones that would be too close to the inevitable NECA releases (Metalhead, Casey, Rat King) in favor of Ray Fillet, Scaletail, & Punker Don.

Not going to list them all out, but basically:

-Mutanimals
-Usagi
-Rare end-of-line stuff (Scratch, Half-Court, maybe 1 or 2 others?)

I really hope to see something "oddball" in each wave too. Like next wave to me would be great if it was:

-Another turtle
-Krang w/ suit
-Scratch
-Mutagen Man

Basically like each wave:

-A turtle (because I suspect they sell best) / main hero
-A main villain
-A secondary/tertiary character, get the deep-cuts in early and spread it all out
-[Variety pick!]

I wonder if they can do other / larger things too. The vintage line was very notable for all the playsets and vehicles. Or some larger figures here and there, or stuff that has never had a toy. Like could they do some stuff from the Archie series? Cudley the Cowlick? Null?

No interest in:

-The bajillion TMNT variants (undercover, sports, wacky action, Star Trek, etc, on and on)

FULLY agreed on all the above! I want to see all the awesome 80s/90s mutant designs re-imagined and re-mastered, particularly the non-standard bebop/rocksteady/turtles mutants. Funny that pretty much no one has listed bebop and rocksteady on their lists. I guess NECA's got that covered already.

As for the TMNT variants, I loved them back then, but I also don't see any purpose in doing those again in 2019/2020.

For me I just consider it a given. Shredder / the 4 turtles / Krang (at the least, in his walker) / Bebop / Rocksteady / April / Splinter / Foot I consider the "mainstays" when doing anything even adjacent to the cartoon. I suspect that list will all just happen naturally over the course of 2020, so the fun is in discussing all the other possibilities

Event though NECA, after like, a decade of TMNT stuff, just finally did their first Splinter figure, geez guys.

I know Slash & Metal Head are already being done by NECA but I think being based on the Playmates line it would be really cool to see the metallic sheen on Metal Head and the bulky sculpt of Playmates Slash.

Ok, getting very tempted to pick up Raph and Splinter now that the weapons rack issue is cleared up.

$37 shipping to the UK sucks (makes it $127 for 2 figures) but honestly is about what I'd expect. Does anyone know if they charge now or when they ship?

Or does anyone know a better place to order from the UK? How does BBTS pile of loot work? Would I be able to add wave 2 figures and combine the shipment when they come up for pre-order?

Edit - just seen the top 10 lists so here goes (mine are pretty basic)

Leonardo
Michaelangelo
Donatello
April O'Neil
Casey Jones
Shredder
Bebop
Rocksteady
Krang

Ok, not quite 10 but I really can't afford to go deep with this line so just sticking with the absolute major characters. Rat King and Leatherhead would be big temptations for me, but since I'm likely having to pass on Baxter I imagine I'd pass on them too. For a wild card I'd probably throw Ninjara on there as number 10 as I always felt she should have had a figure in the vintage line.

Would be killer if they made him color-change like the original!

I am sold now that they fixed the weapon issue. I didn't want to cut weapons off sprus for my 45.00 figure. This is the best of both worlds.

Now I just need to know if they will have retro/classic looking packaging. If they do I will def buy 2 of each.

I am for sure in for the Turtles. Would love to get the others, but gotta worry about space and budget.

It aged/faded horribly, some variants are a handicap down the line.

The color change? I have two figures. One, which I left in the sun, faded and no longer works. The other, which was stored in a box, looks (and works) as good as ever.
