Not a fan of the pixelation, but we already know these molds will be used at least twice so it doesn't really matter.

Lil Karai 07-20-2017 11:24 AM

I'm curious to see if these will see a retail release, thus necessitating the VG paintjob. If they are announcing it now for 2018, I would think this would not be a 'con only set as they usually keep the con announcements secret until just before the 'con. HMMMMMM we'll find out soon enough.

Lordmylar06 07-20-2017 11:39 AM

Man... I want that Slash. Here's hoping for a 'toon repaint and a possible Archie colors variant!

oldmanwinters 07-20-2017 11:52 AM

Those Rock Soldiers warrant a lot of plastic! While playing the arcade game recently on an HD monitor, I noticed that Traag has a huge crotch rock that is impossible to miss. I wonder if NECA will preserve that detail?

Dane E5R 07-20-2017 12:00 PM

I'm a bit disappointed, if I'm honest- Both that at it's another arcade set, and also that I would have preferred to see Bebop and Rocksteady.

Though it is cool to finally see a Granitor figure. And it's hard to complain after all the goodies NECA has given us lately.

go_ninja84 07-20-2017 12:04 PM

wow i like that Tragg and Granitor not so much Slash. wonder if they will be in a set

Oculus Orbus 07-20-2017 12:25 PM

I'm surprised with the bold move NECA made here. Those characters will appeal to a pretty small niche compared to better known villains such as Bebop and Rocksteady, and I assume the videogame paint deco won't boost sales. I really appreciate NECA taking the risk and going for the unexpected.

My bet is that we will see these again in the future with toon accurate paint in a boxed set with some extra characters, maybe Krang's android body or some Neutrinos.

One thing is certain: every time NECA shows anything new, I despise Playmates a little bit more.

Lordmylar06 07-20-2017 12:29 PM

Also, between Slash and Traag, is that a Triceraton skull on the ground in the back?

TheMasterTurtle 07-20-2017 12:36 PM

Yup that's the traag sculpt Trevor was working on during the Turtle power interview. Happy about those two but not so much slash. An OT slash would have my attention more and they're going to need to do some sculpting to make him accurate enough for me

TurtleManiac 07-20-2017 12:58 PM

Awesome Traag, and first ever Granitor. These figures look great, however I am surprised they went with more obscure characters before the more well known characters like Bebop, Rocksteady, April, and Splinter. That Slash does look awesome though, it's sculpted directly based off his appearance in SNES Turtles in Time, I actually like that design better than the OT Slash. A repaint would not be enough for this Slash to be toon accurate though, his physical appearance would have to be totally different.

They had commented last year that Bebop and Rocksteady are over-saturated in the market and merchandise. Not surprised they went with characters who don't have a lot of merch associated with them.

EddieNES 07-20-2017 01:14 PM

I don't think B&R are over saturated at all. But oh well. These are still amazing.

Plus they can repaint these and resell again which I think they will 100% do.

Btown 07-20-2017 01:19 PM

that Slash!! that is a must for me.

Powder 07-20-2017 02:19 PM

Holy crap. These are so great. Granitor!!!!!

Not into the pixel paint job, but if this is the only release they're seeing, I'm in.

Candy Kappa 07-20-2017 03:09 PM

I love the Rock Soldiers, the paintjob while VGA pixelated are still fitting enough that these guys could mix with non-VGA figures.

Thats wath i am thinking.its weird that they have announcing it AS a 2018 relase unless they have got deal to relase them retail.perhaps they have got a deal so they can sell them with Arcade paint as retail??so perhaps we Get this at nycc with toon paint and as Arcade as retail in 2018?

Good eye, I didn't even see the rat or the shark till you pointed them out.

The Purple Dragon 07-20-2017 03:26 PM

If that shark is indeed a hint, they can have my money. Instant buy.

Only on the box art, unfortunately.

As a kid, I thought Triceraton must be a secret boss fight.

Lil Karai 07-20-2017 03:56 PM

Good spot! They often put Easter eggs in their dios

Aw shucks! Thanks, but I also really want an official release of him as well. (I'm working on a re-do of the Armaggon I made a few years ago.)

I took the triceratops skull as a reference to the Turtles in Time level in which Slash appears.

ProactiveMan 07-20-2017 08:50 PM

I covet those... especially Traag and Granitor.

Autbot_Benz 07-20-2017 08:58 PM

Pixel Dan says Neca wants to do Direct to Consumer Sales for the Dimension X Set if they can work it out.

Id love for that to happen just to stick it to playmates

Hopefully though its not like the exclusive set with limited sale time frame. That way it would also stick it to the scalpers.

Autbot_Benz 07-20-2017 09:13 PM

Randy From NECA says there will be one more character added to this set to make it a 4 Villains of Dimension X set that will be shown later


Lil Karai 07-20-2017 09:37 PM

Someone mentioned the rat and shark in the diorama. If you look at the video above, you'll see it's an armadillo and a shark. Armaggon! To me that's further confirmation of what the 4th character will be!

Yup an armadillo not a rat. Armaggon will be (wait for it:o) EPIC!!!!

LilithMV 07-20-2017 10:02 PM

Great figures if one love Slash and the rock soldiers. For me having the Arcade turtles is enough for me. Well unless they released arcade April.

Probably won't be getting any re-color of these either. I want April, Bebop, Rocksteady, Casey and Splinter.

Since this was the villans set the next one will be the hero set or a mixed set whenever that reveal is(next year?). So my guess is April, Splinter, Casey, and ???? or April, Splinter, Bebop, and Rocksteady.

inaheap 07-20-2017 10:39 PM

I like this. A lot of people like these characters. There are none in this scale. Personally I'm still hoping Bebop and Rocksteady might turn up at NYCC. They make sense for a 30th anniversary release. I can't figure out how they could think they are over saturated. I count one inaccurate version in this scale.

DonnieLaForge 07-20-2017 10:49 PM

They were more oversaturated last year with the movie. That may be when they were making decisions on these. These give them some reuse on Slash and prob between the soldiers. Stretch the dollar. Maybe if they are a hit there will be enough funds to do the chars everyone wants most at long last.
