Got Mikey today, his right shoulder is a little out of place, but it's nothing too bad. The mask has shading on it, so maybe they heard the complaints and fixed some? But here are my 4 Turtles, please excuse the horrible display, I'm moving soon and I'll have a much better display for them.

Well since both Neca and EE couldn't help me I decided to at least attempt to fix Donny myself. Not that I don't appreciate First of Two Latin King's offer to sell me their extra Donny.
I ended up using Tech Bond BP Blue after researching best fix for plastic specifically. So far so good. I'm using his bo as extra support just to be safe until I'm 100% sure it's fixed. I guess Donny is the only one with this problem from the few cases I've heard of. Early production defect thing? The sai was a simple repair, just used standard Loctite super glue. One thing I suggest is holding between the bottom of the shell tight anytime you adjust the legs. Put less pressure on that inside shell seam, less risk of breaking. |

"not my problem" answer is pretty crummy of them. Given all the derpy SDCC figures that went out the last thing they should give is crappy CS |

I sold one to a member here and his arrived with a broken leg, I contacted NECA and got the same answer of "not our problem/not our responsibility." A handful of angry customers isn't going to hurt their business when they're cranking out the 1:4 scale figures by the hundreds of thousands.

So am I the only one that doesn't really like Mikey's head sculpt and feel he looks out of place next to his brothers?

It appears that the front part of the shell or chest area if you will is much cleaner and brighter yellow on Mikey compared to his brothers.

I believe the word you're looking for is "plastron".

Mikey's expression seems a bit creepy in the photos on the last page but may be less so in person? It doesn't help that the head is down lower, adding to the creepy body language effect. Head might look more genuinely happy and less creepy if not for that. Maybe its just the pose in that pic on last page, but wasn't it here that I read they did something to the neck joint to make him appear shorter? I can't find it now... If so maybe they shouldn't have done that...in this case non-canonical uniformity would probably have been preferable ...

I think at this point, I've seen enough photos and video reviews to determine that that orange is just way too bright and neon-esque. The orange that was used on the prototype figure is spot on. Wonder what happened.

Yep. That's what I do. Did you take yours apart, or where you able to glue it without doing that?

So just an FYI Mikey's orange is MUCH better looking in person...was worried.
I still think these are my favorite turtles ever. They will be my centerpiece for a long time. On a side note, if you ordered your Mikeys from me, they will go out tomorrow morning. Some of you are so close that priority said 1 day shipping which is pretty cool. This is my current display in a temp location (we are redoing my man cave/basement) but this is how they will display in their perm home too.

Got my shipping confirmation. In Kansas City, would be sweet to have Mikey in hand this weekend.

I would bet you were one of the 1 day shippers. Like 1/2 of the 10 turtles were 1 day priority.
