It's a good one! So far as the Universal Monster sequels go, the Frankenstein films are upper-tier in quality. It's weird that Bela Lugosi is so prominent in Universal movies, but is mostly absent from their Dracula franchise aside from the original film. And that man LOVED playing Dracula too.

I don't own any of the NECA stuff, but if they pair Leo up with something good and do a great design I could be tempted. Even if not, still looking forward to seeing what the rest are.
Love the ad reminiscent of the old commercials. |

Yep, we're getting "Ygor Leonardo." Looks cool, but it's anachronistic as regards the Universal Monsters license.

I'll probably get it, but I don't love it. I think it's interesting that they're not going to have all four ready to go at once. Raph is up for preorder and Leo is "more info to come in 2022".
Really, as much as it would suck I would probably have kept these a secret until next Halloween. They've got tons of product out already, it's not like they needed to get something going to generate buzz and revenue. Getting just one turtle, Raph, in the spring is going to feel so random. Getting all four in early October 2022 would have been a lot of fun and would have definitely driven more impulse buys. Maybe the leak kind of forced their hand? |

That is what they went with? Yeaaah... it's well done and looks neat for what it is, but not what I was hoping they'd do for Leo. I didn't really have any particular monster in mind, but not that... I mean, come on, Ygor/Igor isn't really even a "monster" either, he's just a guy with deformities who may or may not be bad depending on what version you're looking at.
Ah well.... they saved me some money by not choosing to do something really cool with him. edit: Are they doing a particular theme and another is going to be Dr. Frankenstein? |

These look really cool but aren't really for me.
However, they do make me realise how much I'd love to see NECA do their own TMNT line with their own takes on the characters as the look of these is incredible. |

Surprised NECA has only revealed one photo of Hunchback Leo. I think we got at least half a dozen for Franken-monster Raphael last Tuesday.

I imagine it’s because it’s just a tease. We’ll get the full assortment of pics and video when the figure goes up for preorder next year.

Looks like the line will include at least 8 figures, and possibly more!

The more I see of this line, the more I love it. It's something the Turtles themselves would be into. Know what I mean?
It's got a grungy, yet playful, aesthetic that reminds me of the comics, without being the comics |

Neca said on Twitter they have 8 TMNT/Universal figures sculpted/planned.
I am guessing Monster Hunchback My guess on the remaining ones: Dracula Mummy Creature Wolfman Invisible Man then maybe Dr Frankenstein or the Bride I would LOVE Baxter Stockman as The Fly. Imagine a realistic take on Baxterfly done by Neca!?!? |

Totally agree. Although my wallet is screaming, & I couldn't even keep up with the other NECA lines, I'm really starting to want these. Man, they look SO cool.

I guess there are supposed to be some big NECA social media reveals tonight, although I don't know if TMNT factors into any of the plans. https://twitter.com/NECA_TOYS/status...36509624426501

It's funny because the fred wolf line was theoretically my dream line and I fell off it hard because of how overwhelming it was to keep up, both in cost and availability.
You know what though? I actually miss buying different versions of the turtles, I slowly realized that with fred wolf line, the turtles themselves are.... kind of the best part. And I love it when the turtles are gross! Give me weird lookin' turtles. Bring on the variants. So this line is like an instant buy to me. Bonus points for maybe actually being able to grab these things easily. |
