All of these look amazing. I'm hoping we'll also get the Turtles from TMNT2 someday, they do look different after all.

When did NECA say they didn't have likeness rights? There are numerous examples of likeness rights they haven't had at one point, but were able to procure later down the line. Three of them debuting at this very show: John Hurt, Ian Holm and Michael J. Fox.

I'm not convinced she has "shrunk". I think the new head is throwing off the whole thing.

That said, the place I have her pre-ordered lists a June release date, and in Dan's video Randy gives the same-ish date for 1990 Casey, while also stating the figure on display is the production piece. That may be the production April as well.

Others have expressed a similar sentiment: all of this stuff looks great but I have little patience for how difficult it has been to collect this line. I hope NECA improves their distribution.

April looks worse. I happy with everything they will release. I'm super stoked for that Metalhead! My only domain is why did they change from GS to walmart. GS was easy with preorders and having extra stock. I feel Walmart will be more difficult to obtain.

Pretty sure it was confirmed a few pages back in this thread, unless I was misinterpreting things.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if we got an unmasked Casey and April 2-pack at some point in the future, seeing as what NECA says they can and can't do often doesn't have any basis in reality...

Rtec1 · 02-23-2020, 06:40 AM

Surely its too late in the day now for Neca to make changes to that April head sculpt??? She looks like a Puffer Fish with hair, and the hair isn't right either!!!

They've been so spot on with everything else it really surprises me that such big fans of the show can agree on that face being the one they move forward with. As i said i think its too late to change, but my god if you read this board Neca and there is time then please improve it!

I guess I appreciate the offer, but having to buy the stuff second-hand at inflated prices makes it all the more galling. Would love to be able to visit a website at my leisure and have the items shipped or arrange for them to be shipped to a store.

I guess in the UK we went from being very unlucky when Neca first starting selling the cartoon/movie tmnt to being very lucky because we can now pre order all of it on a number of different sites.

If the local Target does not have Bebop and Rocksteady in the next week I may take you up on it if it's for $60 or less.

I wouldn't sell them that cheap and I don't even have those myself yet.

Agreed. Anyone else who is planning to sell these to people overseas as a favor, PM me if you want to know who to avoid. Several people here either have an outstanding balance with me for product I sent to them in advance (one who had been buying from me for nearly a decade) or negotiated deals for product which I then acquired only to be stuck with because said trading partners bailed on deals already finalized.

NYCC April looked good - but the one we saw this weekend is the worst version yet. I hope they let...that cook a little more.

Splinter looks fantastic. I think only the one guy is saying otherwise heh.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 02-23-2020, 09:16 AM

I thought April was out already.

*mikey0* · 02-23-2020, 09:26 AM

April and the Battle Damaged Foot Soldier will be out in April, May, or June.

teemu · 02-23-2020, 09:44 AM

Already a Scal-por is in here

Ugh. That means the one they showed this weekend is likely the production version.

I love the figures, but don't want to pay too much over retail.
