To answer your question: nope, the second one has not even a few spots. |

But yeah, we'll have to see what comes up around Toy Fair and if anything gets announced. I'm a pretty big Pixel Dan fan actually. Like Anthony Fantano (a.k.a. the Needle Drop) when it comes to music, I like Dan's opinions and point of view when it comes to figures. Ran into him once at the Toy Man show in St. Louis and he was really nice. Again, since Pennywise [2017] and Micheal Meyers [2018] were eventually scaled up to 1/4th after being released in 7", nothing is really off the table unless Randy gets a valid reason. I'm sure they can move more product with 7" and that's understandably so. Though if they do continue the 1/4th line, I'm certain you can bet that it'll be Casey Jones and Splinter they make next.

1. That's from over a year ago (Dec '1 2. Randy has, multiple times, said "X is not happening" to try to get people to buy the current Thing For Sale, only for the alternative to be announced even just a few months later. It works for better sales, but NECA has been very untruthful for at least TMNT fans for yeeeeears. You can't really trust anything Randy says about the future - only what you see displayed. |

2. So technically Randy is always lying for the sake of more sales. Kinda weird when you think about it.... |

I've pointed this out a few times but people don't seem bothered by it for some reason. I mean, NECA is putting out dream figures for a lot of people but blatantly lying to your customers/fans shouldn't be this acceptable.

I think it's because of the competition. Neca has zero competition. Playmates is crap and for children. The figuarts Turtles aren't it for me (while I'm liking Figuarts figures quite a bit in general, like Bruce Lee, Hulk, Power Rangers etc.). I don't get the point of the Reaction and Super7 figures. So yeah Neca could do and say whatever they want. They know the real collectors will always buy their stuff |

I bought big raph and skipped others in 1/4 , without being sure that small ones were coming, so either way im happy, i dont get those commetns, if i would of bought all 4 big neca turtles and would want only small ones, i would.... let me think what i would.... hmmmm...
SELL BIG ONES.PROBLEM SOLVED.STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT WEIRD STUFF. Marketing is important for neca and i dont care what they say ( smaller ones not coming or coming or whatever) cause if i like what they released at the moment then i buy that, stuff is out there to buy and i make my decision, i dont like it i dont buy.I change my mind i sell it. Some people act like they were cheated and had to own big neca tmnt's forever.

Buy what you want, sell what you don't, and appreciate that NECA have done what they had to do to bring us the best 1990 figures that have ever been... in two scales! |

I wouldn’t jump in the convo just to tell people to stop venting about their desires, but the insults and toxic behavior over toys is crude and embarrassing. I’m more sensitive to the frustration at Neca’s constant lies about product. At the same time, again, it’s a business, and if they can’t figure out a way to run the turtle like in a way that’s profitable enough for them, it isn’t going to happen. So I give them some leeway there, despite also being annoyed by it. |
