Here's a pic from a different angle. Leo's pre-order is indeed July.

True. If he's the only one I get, I guess it wouldn't matter too much.

Definitely is the Gravitic Equalizer with Don's fist in the handle. I'm guessing Don's right hand comes off and can be replaced with the one with the gauntlet.

Under normal circumstances when things are pricey I'd just buy my favourite turtle so as to support the line but not over spend but these have had so much thought put into them that it's so tempting.

Those accessories are killer. I really love the Kirby blaster. And the Lil' Orphan Alien. Plus Splinter as the pet rat of Hamato Yoshi.

Man, Donnie and Mikey's expressions are almost identical to the NECA ones. Which are great figures, but it's kind of odd to see something that similar from two different companies.

Yeah, definitely. There's no way I can afford them, and I definitely don't have room for them even if I could, but that is a damn nice touch.

At least they will be spaced out a little.....still depends on the price for me and the packaging. I like how the NECA set was boxed with the artwork

Shredder's gauntlet! Man, this is painful. I'm either going to be very poor or unhappy. Most likely unhappy.

We're all assuming high prices, but does anyone have anything definitive?

I really need to see these next to a normal 1/6th.

I can understand people's problems with Raph's coloration as compared to the other three brothers, but for me personally, it won't bother me since I'm only going to be getting Raph out of the turtles in this line.

I really like Raph's exclusive head without the bandanna. The only way it could have been better is if it were Future Raph with the eye-patch, but I'm happy with the bandanna-less head all the same. I'm really impressed with the Mirage inspired accessories. Donnie's Gravitic Equalizer is a perfect one for him. My favorites are Casey's mask and the Utrom blaster. I'd say the Utrom, but in a way I'd rather have him be an entire figure with the robotic body.

These figures are all looking great. I just wonder what accessories come with which turtle. That will be interesting to find out now. (Well besides the price of course.)

Yes!! I am glad I passed up on the Revoltech, as these Mirage Turtles are much closer to the heart for me and I can't afford both. I regretted not buying NECA when they were first released and I am not making that mistake again.

I want all these figures but wish Raph was darker in color. The full size Casey mask is awful. Since when was the top of the mask rounded? They got the mini prototype correct. Hope they fix the final product because Id like to get one.

Here is another website that has some more up-close pictures of the Mondo turtles and accessories.

http://www.actionfigurepics.com/2015...show-this-year

They give a potential price point but I'd definitely take that with a grain of salt for now.

Leo's hand sculpt is different.

The SDCC pics show one hand pointing.
http://mondotees.com/blogs/news/4472...015-sneak-peek
Mondo's website shows him holding both swords. Hands don't appear to be interchangable though....

Also, I think these look fantastic. Depends on the price point, I may pick these up. I passed on little Mikey but did preorder the black and white limited edition first turtle. For $150/pop i may be able to wing it, especially since the preorders are spaced out.

@ $150 a pop I think I'm gonna have to bow out. I'd like to at least consider Leonardo but there's so much other stuff on my radar, it's simply impossible. If they make their way to Casey, though, I would sell blood/organs/etc to make it happen.

If i recall correctly, the Iron Giant figure (approx 16") ran $300. The estimated $150 is on the very low from what i actually expected. If $150 is the price, they must be trying to make it more appealing to snag all 4. I'd rather pay $600 than $1200 for all 4 if i decide to get them.

Man. I wish these wern't 1/6. I would be all over them if they were smaller. But as not, so PASS.

Any chance we might see a regular size version?

I think these are something that if you are on the fence about like me.....you should grab them just increase. The Mondo Exclusive ones will still out fast and I'm sure you wouldn't have trouble getting your money back (plus some) if you decided to not keep them. Think NECA and Sideshow..... These will be hot.... And Mondo is getting a ton of publicity now that they are doing a MOTU line as well.

After getting me the official Revoltech figures, I don't think my wife will let me spring for the whole set.

She could also be tricking me into not buying them, so that she can get them for me as a gift.

Either way, it will ultimately depend on the $ and what exclusives Mondo throws in, but at the very least, I will likely pick up Raph.
