Now my brain is trying to come to terms with Eastman & Laird being in-universe characters to the live-action film franchise.

[Roseangelo]

Damn. Will need this one.

[Zulithe]

real nice, can't wait.

hope they can do a Liard to go with him somehow.

[teemu]

I'd rather have the Pizza Delivery guy. This figure is just stupid.

[oldmanwinters]

I heard he finally got a new route.

[Otter]

I think I'm going to need some help getting this one.

Edit: no wait... we can order directly from NECA? Hopefully he's not as tricky as the First Turtles.

[Raph]

Really cool that they're doing his movie 1 garbageman cameo, gonna get this one for sure. Peter never did a cameo right?

Also, still hoping to be able to get that Tatsu!

[I Crave Pizza No More]

Well, it's certainly unique and a deep cut. I can see the appeal, but I feel like the NECA stuff jumped the shark years ago already.

[teemu]

I heard he finally got a new route.

at least he had some relevance in the movie and an actual scene being late to deliver pizza. This neca "trashman" figure looks like some random trashman named kevin eastman. It's typical NECA cash crab. I'd rather have the black lady that had her TV stolen in the opening of the film, at least she made it into a scene instead of a "deleted scene" random trash dude.

[mikey0]

This is a must own item for a Shellhead. I hope they make Peter next.

[teemu]

This is a must own item for a Shellhead. I hope they make Peter next.

Not really. An Irrelevant deleted scene NECA cash grab figure is not must own.

We could of gotten:

Black complaining TV lady w/ TV set
Late Pizza delivery man (who had other roles in the film)
Sam Rockwell thug with cigarette cartons
The Police Chief w/ screaming head
Danny's Dad

[Otter]

Hardly irrelevant; cameo (albeit unused) from one of the creators.

It's a must-own for me. Kevin is a lovely bloke who totally deserves to be immortalised in plastic, and will be on permanent display in my collection. I've even got a spot picked out already.

This is a great exxlusive.

And I'm glad to see the 1990 well hasn't run dry just yet. :)

[I Crave Pizza No More]

And I'm glad to see the 1990 well hasn't run dry just yet. :)

Given that NECA is making a figure of a character that wasn't even in the movie, you don't have to worry about the well running dry. Your wallet, on the other hand...

An unimportant scene never making it into the film IS pretty irrelevant. The scene wasn't used because it was a dumb cameo scene to begin with. A trash man of Kevin is as lame as it gets and doesn't seem deserving at all. We keep supporting this, next will be Splinter's TURDS on the ground deleted scene

[oldmanwinters]

The Police Chief w/ screaming head
Danny's Dad

Chief Sterns and Mr. Pennington actually do feel like HUGE omissions at this point. Sterns even got a brief cameo in Secret of the Ooze... and became a major recurring character in the 1990s Italian Il Giornalino comics.

[Roseangelo]

Being a deep cut isn't the point. The point is it's Kevin Eastman.

[teemu]

why does a creator need a plain jane looking figure of himself? At least show up as something cool....Apparently, Neca is not the only one making a figure of him (and Laird)

[Otter]

why does a creator need a plain jane looking figure of himself?

He doesn't. But it's a nice tip of the hat to Eastman.

You do realise this line isn't exclusively for you, right?

There are people who think this figure is plenty "cool".

[teemu]

He doesn't. But it's a nice tip of the hat to Eastman.

not for $35-40, plus shipping and tax cool. It's still a generic looking cash grab from NECA that passes off as a 70's porn trash man and that's about it.

[Powder]

Teemu? More like teeming with man-baby rage. :tlol:

[Dask]

Why do I get this awful feeling that this item may become some sort of a 'holy grail' in the future?

[DonnieLaForge]

I mean, if I bought the Prof. Perry 2 pack then I imagine I will buy this. Now give us Bubble Gum Girl and I'm out. In fact that might just cap my entire toy career, I've probably been buying TMNT merch for the past 34 years in what will turn out to have solely been a subconscious effort to get as close as possible to the girl I used to make out with through TV screen (to make my friends laugh...no other reason). XD

Toss it onto the pile with the rest of 'em.

your free to purchase that 70's porn looking action figure

professor perry was actually in the movie though in a significant role

I'd rather have the black lady that got her TV stolen. At least she had a part in the movie, unlike the Mr 70's porn stache trash man action figure

Without ‘Mr. 70s porn stache trash man’, we wouldn’t have TMNT.

Cash Grab = A product designed primarily or solely with the intent of generating profits or money.

Still a ****** figure.

[teemu]

Doesn't mean we need a useless figure of him.

[DonnieLaForge]

I'd much rather have a figure of him, than 4 identical figures with different paint from a crappy Christmas special for $175 shipped.

Note that I'm not saying I don't want those, but, relatively speaking, I want them less. :P

[Otter]

Doesn't mean we need a useless figure of him.

Doesn't mean YOU need a useless figure of him.

You don't speak for me.

[Zachatello00]

Was anyone able to get one? I noticed they were sold out at 12:03.

[Otter]

Missed it. Will try tomorrow.

I couldn't get the First Turtles until day 3.

[mikey0]

Marvel Legends fans have their Stan Lee figures; what’s wrong with shellheads having a Kevin Eastman figure? NECA made Oroku Saki and Hamato Yoshi for their movie line before Fred Wolf fans even got an Oroku Saki. I hope NECA does Peter next because he will be barely noticeable as a police officer in Super7’s 2k3 line.

Stan lee figures are useless too.:lol:

I know playmates or someone else are doing Eastman/Laird "vintage style" figures to fit into the vintage line. So that should make you happy. Neca is probably going to do laird too (will be another waste).

Give me relevant characters like punk Sam Rockwell, Chief Sterns, and a foot soldier/Black lady with chair and TV for the foot to steal- 2 pack :lol: (at least she was in the movie and not deleted out)

[Otter]

I do REALLY want a Sam Rockwell thug figure. With or without the smokes.

Source please.

[b14z3d21]

Source please.

It's not Playmates that is doing these but some of the original sculptors from Playmates. They are Kickstarter incentives (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/definitivefilms/tmnt-evolution-mutation-and-reboot) for the new Turtle Power documentary. It was mentioned in one of Pixel Dan's latest videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3xM55kXL8I).

Very expensive as you will need to purchase at least the $580 Canadian ($430 US) bundle to receive them.

Thank you. It looks like the card art is from Ale Espinoza C. I’m happy they got him to do the artwork. I hope that everyone who wants this is able to get it.

[lonewarrior20]

gone in a minute.

[Zulithe]

I haven't tried to get him today or yesterday, been busy. i'll think about trying tomorrow. traditionally, day 3 tends to be the easiest to snag one of these. But if they are still selling out in 1m on day 2 then who knows... best be ready.

[jestergoblin]

Oh man, the other side of the manhole cover is a replica of the 40th anniversary one in Dover, NH!

[DonnieLaForge]

I wouldn't worry too much. Bet Walmart or Target (since they have the con end cap sometimes) will be flooded with leftovers.

[mcbenzi]

WHAT??? I added it to the cart in the first second of the pre-order and didn't have time to complete the checkout. How absurd!!

[lonewarrior20]

gone before 11:02, will not surprise me if this is up there with Spirt of Splinter down the road.

[Otter]

Well... crap!

[DonnieLaForge]

I signed up for notification when it became available just for the fun of it. Email came at 11:04, lol. I won't miss this figure, but it would be nice to have. Already passed on the throne so completion is out the window anyway. The heavy hitters are all checked off!

[go_ninja84]

Another collector hooked me up with the Garbage Man Eastman figure. Is there a difference between the SDCC one that nobody could get and these that were sold at NYCC?

[Otter]

The one you have IS from NYCC. SDCC was the "first Turtles". :)

[Dask]

Does anyone know if NECA shipped this figure from the NECA store?

...or is this one of their shipping mishaps mentioned in their apology?

I ordered this a while ago.
