The gagged thing does not really fit April. What I mean is; Princess Peach, she seem to have a strong kink for getting kidnapped and gagged 24/7. It's kinda sad but that defines her. It's not exactly something I connect with April and to give her an extra head and a chair just so she can get kidnapped is silly, imo.

Okay? Princess Peach isn't a TMNT character getting a new figure, though. April was kidnapped/gagged a number of times, it makes sense. It's a bit weird, but not out of left field. I mean, let's be honest here, the average OT April O'neil Fan is weird too. If she's brought up on Facebook there's nothing but comments about childhood crushes or crass thoughts, & the bulk of her fan-art is unquestionably bondage fetishism. They're catering to that demo, which is smart, 'cause April's a hard sell in the first place. Their only mistake is making her ugly.

Yeah, it makes sense catering to the fan service-y crowd to sell more units, and it's a fairly unique addition of accessories, the chair is pretty neat looking especially if it can fold up as well.
I'm just a bit surprised that despite the gagged fan service head, they went very modest in the bust department of the figure. |

I am a little bit surprised by the reaction that this figure is getting though, in this Fifty Shades of Grey obsessed world what's one more tied up woman? |

I can't imagine that would have been approved if it was an officially licensed release.

I remember thinking this was a cool figure when I bought these Resivour Dogs Figures. Like who had ever done this before. And the ear and gas can wow. And yeah the chair was neat back then as well lol.

im glad they tried to bring an April figure, but this is an immediate pass from me.
if these companies want our top dollar by charging 150.00 to 200.00 per figure- well... we have every right to be nitpicky. I like the Camera, Turtle Com and Microphone, presspass but thats about it. the Gagged headsculpt/chair is just too much. (poor taste) the headsculpt lacks effort - its Marginal Quality at best. the material is a too thick also, giving it a Walmart Barbie doll look

It does seem to have that vintage (1960s?) GI Joe look about it. I wonder where the line is draw between doll and action figure?

Some people try to define a doll as a figure that have rooted hair and fabric/soft goods clothes, but. On legal definitions, a Action Figure represents a "non-human creature" and a Doll represents a "human" due to tariff differences. |

Not just X-Men, Boy Biz basically made all of their Marvel action figures deemed as "toys" since Fantastic Four and Spider-Man was in the legal document and they do argue that superhuman features is enough to classify as a "toy"

Where have you seen her for pre-order? Just thinking with these now being unlicensed they should be cheaper (no license fee) and they might not be available via the usual US websites.

Man, I'm still on the fence about these... I mean, they look great. But I've never been much of a posable figure kinda guy; I prefer statues.
On the other hand, I'm gonna wager a guess and say these are the closest thing we're going to ever get to a 2k3 TMNT set of statues(probably my favourite incarnation if I had to pick.) |
