NECA Archie line

[RaphaelinSTL]

Yeah, they'll for sure get there. I wonder how much Archie may take the back seat with the 2012 line being potentially shown at NYCC, but I hope they keep going even more.

They will.
Give it time.

Yeah, I think the Stump Wrestling set will test the waters and if sales are good I think we'll get a normal set. It would be a shame not to get a normal set honestly.

I would have thought they'd lean into the Mutanimals first, but the wrestling story makes sense actually. Those might not have sold so strongly later because most people want the purest versions of the Archie stuff. By releasing them first and saving the high-demand stuff for later they are guaranteeing some sales from the cult-followers of the brand.

The Stump wresting turtles are all new, pinless constructions.

We’re absolutely going to see those sculpts as new turtles - Don’s got the standard elbow and knee pads, while Raph/Mikey/Leo have standard shells with rubber belt overlays.

I really hope we get a Future Raph & Don two-pack.

I'm not familiar with the character, but does the Krang go in his mouth kinda like Krang's android body?

Being found at Target. Looks like we got some hunting to do

No. Krang is just a pack-in.

Does he not function as an alternate head? He looks like like he's got a hollow body, so I suspect he's meant to swap onto a Shredder figure or something...

Could be for future plans, and wouldn't be the first time they've done something like that. So, we just have to wait for the inevitable Archie Shredder release.

[DonnieLaForge]

I've now seen more Mondos than I can count in the wild, a single Bellybomb, and 0 anything else.

I wonder..is stump wrestling going to show up through other channels e.g. online toy retailers, comic shops, etc?

Krang is solid plastic, not hollow or made for a head-peg.
I think if we get Archie Shredder he may come with another alternate head that's just Krang with a different expression and pose - possibly a little more bloated to reflect the way he looked in the comic when that happened.
