Super 7 Turtle figures shown at Power Con

[Dask]

I'm actually very curious about the variants as I haven't picked up the core turtles. However, I have a question:

Are they releasing Sewer Samurai Leonardo (as a homage to the Playmates line) only or are they going to go all out and release Sewer Samurai Raphael, Sewer Samurai Donatello and Sewer Samurai Michelangelo as well?

...If they release an entire turtles samurai set, it would go well with a Usagi figure down the line.

Likely Leo only and then Undercover Don, Space Cadet Raph and Sewer Surfer Mike like the vintage line.


And I guess this answers the question of how soon they’ll do the variants. If they were going to skip a turtle in any wave this was the one to do it.

Turtle variant(s) confirmed! A little too soon for my taste but who am I kidding they’re gonna be cool AF.

Definitely disappointed, personally. With the pace these roll out, there was no good reason to do another Leo already. As someone else mentioned, forcing a Turtle into every wave is going to further limit the number of unique figures they can put out in a year... and they're crossing that line that I'd JUST mentioned they hadn't crossed, where I don't actively want all the figures they produce.

That's just me, though. Happy for anyone that was hoping for these.

Wow. I guess Brian wasn't kidding when he said he wanted a turtle in every way. Guess that's one figure I'll be skipping in every wave. I'll probably keep an eye on the secondary market to see if I can get one for $45ish but there's no way I'm staying all in at $55 apiece.

Maybe we'll get lucky and orders for that specific figure will be much lower than the rest and S7 will change course for wave 5.

Considering these are made to order, I wouldn't count on the secondary market to provide a cheaper price.

The collectors who want the core characters will skip the turtle variations, but there are many TMNT fans who grew up with the disguised turtles who want Leo, the Sewer Samurai in TMNT Ultimates form.

I don’t understand why collectors are calling Slash a turtle. Slash is not one of the four brothers. Slash is an evil turtle from Dimension X.

It would be nice to have a wave with all supporting characters from the basic assortments in it, but Brian mentioned that he wants a turtle (one of the four brothers or possibly Jennika) in each wave.

Oh I'm not. But if it happens, great. These haven't been nearly as limited as we thought they would be so far, so it's possible. I've had much luckier ebay finds.

This is interesting to me because I never cared much for that figure as a kid. I think his Ultimate form could be really cool though. I'm Ok with a variant in each wave. Will definitely mean some waves are cheaper for me. Excited to see a Space Cadet Raph Ultimate.

This is also a good indicator as to how successful the line is right now. Super7 has gained a lot of cred with people looking for deep cuts (see Pumm-Ra in the Thundercats line!!). It’s wild to see the backlash against NECA dropping Antrax and Scumbug today and people trashing them. I don’t think it will nearly be as bad for Super7 releasing the more obscure stuff because a lot of people that bought in love the wackiness of the OG line and that’s what we’re waiting for. People buying NECA (I’m one of them) are mostly into the nostalgia and memories of the dedicated constant characters. By the time ‘92 rolled around I was faded on the toon but still playing with Scaletail and Dr. El. Super7 is going to last a bit. NECA will too but maybe only for hardcores.

Also these trolls threatening NECA’s insta are so entertaining.

Ace Duck and Leatherhead would be a nice finish to wave 5

I find it amazing how many people are screaming for an April re-release in those comments when people seemed to hate the figure when she was released.

And you’re right, the obscure mutants are likely to play better in the Ultimates line than NECA’s toon line as people’s main memories of those deep cut characters are likely to be the toys.

Will there be weekend reveals? What character will they tease next?

Yeah, I've been noticing that too. People were saying how they will boycott April O' Neil and now she is one of the most demanded figures and selling for $180+

I'm noticing a bit of a cross-over with the Super7. Maybe NECA stepped into S7's turf with the Antrax and Scumbug figures. Interestingly enough, they are faithful to the toon as well as the Playmates line. Even the bug accessories for the NECA Scumbug are the same as that of Playmates...

I hope Ray Fillet and Leatherhead round out wave 5.

Ray Fillet was my favorite. I hope they keep his super-confident grin and color change feature. It would be nice to see a deluxe Leartherhead figure. I was always confused why the Playmates version was smaller than the turtles.

+1 on ray fillet. one of my all time favs

He's the only other one I'm really interested in after Usagi.

Not really, Cartoon Scumbug is pretty close to the toy version.
