Coming out of their Shells Tour is officially the @NECA_TOYS #TMNT #SDCC Exclusive!

Looks like these will be at Target in-store and online on 7/23. Fingers crossed for easy purchases.

Blimey. Are they that desperate for characters to produce?

funatic · 07-07-2020, 09:38 AM

Is today April 1st?

Actually this is so weird and cringe I might need to buy it. Curse you NECA!

I assumed so too

Maybe they?ll finally give the concert the DVD/Blu-Ray/Digital re-release it truly deserves

King Kahn · 07-07-2020, 11:14 AM

I?m excited about this!

That was my exact thought. I assumed it was bumped up from last April Fools. Neca already has a lot in the pipeline and no one really cares about this so it has to be a joke. Still looking for Bebop and Rocksteady and soon Slash and Leatherhead.

NECA should just call their line TMNT Multi-Verse or something like that....

*I Crave Pizza No More* · 07-07-2020, 12:14 PM

On the one hand, it's sort of amazing that such an obscure and distant relic of TMNT past will be immortalized in plastic, but on the other hand what a bizarre waste. I guess people like what they like, but I'll always prefer the original rock n' roll turtles. Classic Rocker Leo is my favorite figure of all-time.

What's next? Venus de Milo?

Honestly I think a Next Mutation 5-Pack would have been an easier sell than COOTS so maybe next year?

These aren’t for me but I’m really impressed they went here. It shows nothing is off the table for future exclusives.

A Neca NM 5 pack would be mental!

I?m on the same boat. After looking at the set more and reading people?s opinions, you can really appreciate the idea. This set will probably do pretty well and that does open the doors to figures that would not have been thought to be produced. Or I least hopefully it does.

Bluelightsaber · 07-07-2020, 07:14 PM

Is anyone here actually interested in this?

I'm hoping scalpers buy a ton and get stuck with them.

*IndigoErth* · 07-07-2020, 08:39 PM

The scalpers thing would be pretty funny.

I'm ok with scalpers getting screwed like this after I'm able to get a set lol.

I made my parents watch COOTS so much when I was little that the VHS got warn out and they had to buy a second copy. So for me it was a massive part of life back then, as ridiculously cheesy as it is haha. So once I get my set, I hope scalpers get screwed on it as well.

Next Mutation will never seen any form of action figures again.

What makes you so sure? Would you have, even a month ago, ever thought you'd see these OOTS figures? (Personally, I'm fine never seeing more NM stuff, as I disliked the show quite a bit)

*Chris* · 07-08-2020, 04:02 PM

Yeah, before this I’d have agreed we’re never seeing TNM in toy form again but now the sky really is the limit.

I don’t expect them to be part of the Target or Wal-Mart lines but an SDCC or NYCC set, if this set sells well, why not? This seems like a test for how obscure they can go. If it sells out (which it almost certainly will) then I have to assume that anything is possible going forwards.

Slime State Alumni · 07-08-2020, 06:03 PM

Anyone that thinks these aren't going to go fast and skyrocket in price clearly is still bitter about Spirit of Splinter

Playmates re-released the NM Leonardo figure as part of the History of Leonardo gift set. I would say this century is bound to have some NM collector items in it. I don?t know necessarily if we will see anything from NECA, but the release of NM will be celebrated in one way or another.

It didn?t happen during the height of the fandom like the Shells Tour did and the disdain for that series is exceedingly high.
