Ya it was on eBay for around $80. I don’t think that seller has it relisted yet, but there are a number of ones for that price from high rated sellers

So I’ve gotten all my Neca bootlegs. The arcade Turtles (mentioned previously and near perfect), The arcade Foot Clan set, and the mirage Villian set.

Both Foot Clan sets have slightly loose hips but all other joints are great. Mirage came with box, Arcade set came loose.

Besides the hip looseness, the only complaint I have is with the Arcade Foot soldier hands. The hinged peg for the hands is not the same color as the rest of the hand, it’s a similar translucent plastic. It’s painted to match the hand color, but it flakes off as soon as you flex the hinge. It’s barely noticeable, but it is there.

Overall I absolutely love these and highly recommend them considering Neca will probably never re-release this line.

@Shreddhead
I think the original Arcade Foot Gang has the same issue with the paint on the wrists.
Saw a few reviews and a couple of them mentioned it.

Edit:
Here is two reviews: https://youtu.be/8DbJKPgBqLA?t=302 and https://youtu.be/iJHWjo7wEf0?t=375

Thanks for posting. I have decided to go the bootleg route on these as well.

Anyone know if there’s been any bootlegs of this year’s movie SDCC exclusives?

Wish NECA could ship overseas but with bootlegs as good as the NECA ones have been I’m happy to go with them.

Too early for that, but I should think it's likely we'll see some within a year or so.

back around 2005-2006 there was a little paint workshop at the local mall in my area. The store concept was you go in, buy a figure (unpainted), then they supply the paint etc for you to sit down and paint it. Decided to walk through and look around while killing time and came across some TMNT molds. I remember there was 1 turtle (I think the sculpture youve posted) and shredder to pick from. I remember thinking the turtle looked pretty ugly but the shredder was decent

Afraid I don't have much more info then that, but hope it gives you something to work with

Looks like the perfect thing for a TMNT Horror Movie!

These aren't actually bootlegs. Knockoffs I suppose.

They're from Sparkle's Defenders of the Planets line.

Extremely late replying to this, but thank you for that info! I've slowly been seeing various painted versions popping up on Ebay since I bought him and actually just Google searched for the unpainted one. I wanted to see the Shredder you're talking about so it got me curious Haha.

So now I've seen a few different turtles, a Splinter and then these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ceramic-Unpainted-Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtle-Lot-Shredder-April-Mikey-Leo-Don/372529782329?hash=item56bc815e39:g:Z-4AAOSw5dlaIpjm

Is this the same or a different Shredder? If the set wasnt so expensive I'd actually be interested in buying them and painting them! The Shredder actually looks pretty sweet.

Where did you get the Mirage Foot and Shredder Bootleg set? Google isn't really much help (really can't remember if this is breaking any rules or not)
