Look up the 4 humors as well...the 4 personality types all apply to all kinds of shows, movies and novels. Its a popular trope that applies across all media.
TMNT, Avatar the Last Airbender, Golden Girls, Th Beatles...it goes on and on...

The clothed 8 inch figures are in a different scale, though.

I think nickelodeon finally told Playmates to back the F off and let them do this

So basically, Nick has granted Neca limited permission to sell figures at retail because they want an adult collectible presence in retail stores and at conventions. It's called diversification. We'll all still be able to get turtle products, it's just we have more ways of getting them now.
Another Youtuber said 7" movie TMNT will be single carded at Gamestop. Maybe less accessories or variants.

It was like Cejman. It's also being mentioned of fwoosh

"Someone found listings for the individual turtles in GameStop computers. around $22 each. Maybe they're the video game versions?"
"They’re listed as 1990 movie tmnt'

Because I've wanted super accurate movie turtles since I first saw the film in the theaters. Figures like these have been on the top of my wishlist since I was 6 years old

You mean they are playing ball with Neca? Or Playmates is using this as an excuse to up their game in the collector division? Because if it's the latter I'm pretty sure that division has been ghosted out of existence.

i mean with NECA. maybe the out cry of adult fans (yes i know there is) made them change their ways.

or maybe Nickelodeon is stepping in and changing some stuff so Playmates cant monopolize the franchise.

Randy said stuff is gonna be available at retail soon so IDK

They probably feel bad for us that the new series looks terrible. Especially Splinter looking like a aborted fetus.

Gotta do something to make the og fans not completely give up on us.

I say this sarcastic as possible just to be 100% clear.

I probably missed it, but has anyone actually gotten shipping notifications from NECA yet on these sets?

Do they ship just before the con or after?
