I feel like it has to be either the henson turtles in 5-6 inch scale, or another wave of fred wolf (splinter, casey, april, rocksteady, bebop, etc). what else could there possibly be that's as good?

I really hope that whatever it is, it's not yet another set of the turtles in another style.
Flesh out one of the existing lines - Mirage or Cartoon preferred. The way he was hyping it though - just more characters doesn't make sense to me. But you know what WOULD be jaw dropping and game changing? THE TECHNODROME. It'd also go with the Dimension X set. Built in repaint for cartoon and video game styled. So yeah, that's my guess. Technodrome. |

I saw the city sidewalk diorama. Looks pretty cool, if a little generic. Looking forward to seeing the official unveiling.

I’m predicting a double exclusive tmnt realrase. The dimension x figure we saw last year and the 4th they acknowledged last year. Also an expansion on the Fred Wolf series. I’d like to see splinter, April, bebop, and rocksteady. In a perfect world tho for me at least we will get a reveal of 1/4 scale Casey Jones and, Tasu.

Casey Jones is a no brainer. The bat has already been sculpted for Raphael, and the mask could be scaled down to fit over Elias's face. I am guessing Shredder's face mask will be removable as well.

Whatever it is, I hope it will be less expensive than last year's set.
I doubt it though. |

While I don't care how they are released, if we DON'T get Original Toon style Splinter, April, Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang in Android body, NECA will have pissed me off just as much as Playmates and Tamashii Nations.
We need ALL the core characters from the cartoon AT LEAST and it's so frustrating no company can seemingly commit to doing this. And ideally it would be nice to see more than just the core characters. |

I'm sure it will be cool, but to call a toy a "game-changer" seems silly. Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to it.

I have a feeling it’s going to be a continuation of the 1987 SDCC set from last year with Splinter, Rocksteady, Bebop and maybe additional characters. That doesn’t feel very game changer when I think about it, so I wonder what else it could possibly be.

“Game changer” makes me imagine it’s something large. I’d love something like a “City at War” box set or Return to New York with a Zog figure or whatever else, but not holding my breath, whatsoever, for that.
My guess is a turtle blimp, van, or technodrome. |

I'm still gonna stick with Technodrome for now, but yeah, I really feel it has to be a vehicle or playset. Can't just be more characters. |

My guess is also the Technodrome although they’d have to make it in the pixelated style (based on the dimension X villain set release) and that seems risky.
My only other guess would be a full scale wearable turtle mask or Shredder helmet. Or maybe a Shredder helmet was already in the works, I can’t remember. |

Have they already said who the fourth character is in the Dimension X Villains pack? I’m assuming Krang in android body?
Keep in mind he says “another” jaw dropper/game changer so I’d just expect either more characters we haven’t had before or characters represented like we haven’t had before. |

I almost want to say it's something Technodrome related due to Randy catching himself on Pixel Dan's coverage video at around 12 minutes in, but I may be reaching there.

Sewer set is an interesting theory.
Evidence: - The small scale diorama they were showing off this weekend - I could see this being interpreted as a "game-changer" if influntial enough. Could get other companies going hard on diorama's. Personally, I'd have no interest in the thing. I'm hoping they can do something like a box-set or at least of manageable size. Not a fan of clutter and things that take up a lot of space. |

Sculpting is the least of worries for production.
I dont see where you would think a 1:4 Shredder will have a removable helmet. I can tell you right away that a 1:4 toy and a 1:1 wearable heltmet is two conplete different things from design to material. I am curious as how you come to your conclusions. |
