i would have to agree on this. i mean only time will tell, but IMO these are concept figures which will differ from the final product. and alot has changed on that Donatello since we first saw him

In the original film, Mikey just tucked them under his belt. In the follow up film, he had holster bags tied to his belt.

For those who has loose torso here's an easy fix...

Quote:
He was pretty loose and slouched quite a bit. I ended up soaking him in boiling water and he popped apart pretty easily. I tried a few things to stiffen the joint but ended up wrapping a rubber o-ring around the shaft of the barbell joint. It provided enough friction to keep Raph from slouching and help him hold poses.

A little more detail on the Raphael torso joint fix: I popped his head off and soaked him belly down for a minute in a pan of boiled water. The torso joint popped apart quite easily. The joint is a simple barbell/socket arrangement. After a couple of failed attempts to tighten things up, I ended up using a large black rubber o-ring that I wrapped around the barbell shaft 3 times. I reheated the socket for snapping the barbell back in by spooning some boiling water into it and waiting about 20 seconds. At that point I dumped the water out and snapped it back together. Raph is now as tight as his turtle brother, Donnie! Los Tortuga Hermanos!

No, the torso just pops straight out of the top of the shell. I boiled the water in an electric kettle and then poured it into a plastic Rubbermaid pan that was large enough to accommodate Raph's carcass. I removed the head prior to this as it helped him fit into the pan and also prevented the fabric mask ends from getting wet. I never actually boil the figure itself. I always have the water removed from the heat source prior to immersion.

It's a cost issue where the turtles selling at $99 is already an amazing price. Don't expect a trench coat be possible for that price point.
I am guessing that is why there is an accessory pack coming. To fit in some cool stuff along with the trench coat.
The bigger the weapons the higher the costs I believe. I don't understand why Don has an accessory more than Raph (ooze canister) So why can't we get a pizzabox or something with Raph? Off course a trenchcoah is too expensive but a piece of carton is possible in my opinion. Just like the DreamEX Raphael

An accessory pack is coming also?! That's wonderful!

WRONG.. an trench Coat is not too expensive.. NECA did it with both Penguins having cloth coats. and the Second Penguin had an Cloth Coat and Cloth Pants.... It's not that big of a deal if Raph didn't come wth any accessories besides Pizza,extra hands and his sai's thats all he needs.

Don has an extra accessory because he only comes with one weapon and five hands. Why Leo comes with the canister also I don't know. Not that I'm complaining.

Anyone else see Splinter's hand in this picture too?

EE still has Leo listed as May delivery. I will be shocked if that actually happens. I'm excepting an email any day now telling me that my preorder is pushed back until June.
