Back to this figure: I come in this thread just to look at it every day. I have a tiny little obsession going on. Is it the color that is mesmerizing me? So bold and bright. Anyways, what is the deal with the second head? Is it meant to resemble...the cartoon? |

It would be great for sure! But I'm not against getting great art on the packaging for the cartoon version of the figures. When and if NECA makes Archie comic accurate figures(Allan or Mitchroney style) I'll be all over it, but I don't have any complaints with what we already have.

I'd like to see them play into that more. Give Raph a football helmet, Mikey a skateboard, Donatello a denim jacket, Leonardo a werewolf-head sculpt. Have fun with it. Anything is better than another slice of plastic pizza. That said, I do appreciate the second head sculpt. I think an extra head sculpt is always a great accessory. Not to mention, the one they've provided is quite different in appearance to the standard head sculpt - greatly appreciated. And I'll likely pose Raphael with the "shell-com" or whatever it is called, if I purchase him. |

None of these 21st century companies will ever do TMNT sculpts that are completely satisfying to all TMNT fans.
All of this future landfill being produced is hurting the earth and the fictional turtles that everyone on here loves would be against that, themselves, in the early 90s. |

Well I'm not the hardest person to please when it comes to figures, but never has a toy satisfied me as much as the Neca TMNT Movie figures. I just adore those things and I'd be surprised if someone could imagine a TMNT figure I'd like more than them.

But at the same time, if there's nothing new to collect then what fun is collecting? For a LONG time there wasn't anything for 80s/90s fans to collect other than 80s/90s figures. Now all of sudden there are two really solid options in Super7 and NECA and my money is vanishing rather quickly. So yeah, right now I'd rather pass on some of these iterations and get right to the "good stuff". But this feast isn't going to last forever so I also don't mind living it up a little while there are so many options out there. I'll probably still skip the turtles but I'm very excited to see more mutants. |

Still hoping for a way to pick up the Mirage set, but the ebay landscape is fraught with danger. |

The Target 2-packs and Arcade SDCC Turtles share the exact same sculpt, cause the Arcade figures was always intended to be normal non-VGA figures. |

NECA cannot do cartoon characters in their style. It does not mesh well at all and different head sculpts still should have been used for the 2017 SDCC Collector Case turtles even if a consumer were to ignore the line cuts highlighted with black paint. Their 17 SDCC Collectors Case effort for the FW Turtles fans was lazy and pointless. NECA should stick with movie licenses only from now on. The next Target 2 pack characters should be the last batch of collectibles for FW toon fans. |

The Arcade turtles look much better than the Target 2 pack figures that share the same body and head molds with, but they still do not remind me of the Konami turtle pixels. As I said in my last post, NECA should make movie license toys exclusively. Other mediums are not their strong suit. |

The Playmates Classic Michelangelo head sculpt is far from bad in my eyes.

All of the 21st century Playmates Toys figures along with NECA Arcade and Cartoon lines are forgettable. |

The NECA Mirage Comics and 1990 Movie Turtles are lines are breakthroughs in collector lines for Turtles fans, but nothing else. |

Agree to disagree. Demand for the others you've been critical of also contradicts your opinion.

Because they were repaints of the video game turtles the year before. While the Shredder and Foot were repaints of the sculpts that developed back in 2008-2010.
