This is an interview with Randy Falk, head of NECA Product Development.

That says it all for me!

I don't doubt you really, and I appreciate the news, but where did you get this information?

feyuuuccckk!!!!! *drolls*

Schweet. What else has NECA done in the past though?

I recall they did some Ghostbusters (Movie) figures -- the Terror Dogs (Zuul, and the other who's name escapes me), and Staypuft Marshmellow Man.

And probably other characters.

Damn...Very nice.

this look should help ;)

NECA is pretty solid and these should rock :D

Nice. I'm definitely going to buy their upcoming TMNT figures next year.

Excellent news.

This is pretty cool! I'll probably forget about it until they come out, though. Then I'll go "Whoa! I never thought something like this would happen! Why didn't anyone tell me before?" :P

Hell yeah!!

NECA is a great company, though I haven't bought too many of their products the ones I have are solid. They said loads of articulation, from what I've seen not many neca toys have had loads of articulation so hopefully they'll try to up their game plan for TMNT. I own Stay Puft Marshmallow man, a great figure at an insanely amazing price (I paid less than $16 for it new, and it's over 12") and Slimer who is really well done and had good articulation which is odd since it's Slimer! I also own a Terminator figure they did which had great articulation and was well done but in my opinion too flimsy. Other than that they mostly make statue figures like McFarlane. Though I know there is a market for statue figures, I'd rather there be articulation.

This just made my day, I'm so happy, I hope they show off pics soon!

Yes!!!!!!!!! How could would it be to have TMNT figures with red masks and a bit of a gritty look? A cool looking shredder? the ideas could go on and on.

so are they going to look similar to the first issue turtle designs from vol 1?

As the owner of over 100 NECA figures myself, there are a couple things that are most likely to happen:

1. Alternate heads/hands

2. Color/B&W variants (NECA did this with their Sin City line)

So I am looking forward to this quite a bit!!!!! WOO!!!!! I bet we can expect quite a few foot soldiers as well. NECA loves their generic henchmen. Unfortunately, only 4 figures to a wave, so guess who is gonna be in the first wave? lol. But NECA also loves deluxe boxed sets, so I wouldn't be surprised to see 2 boxsets (Leo and Raph, Don and Mikey) that have connectable rooftop bases. People on the board were talking about higher end collectibles? This is the first step to that. So smoke em if you got em!!!!

And being the collectible newshound that I am, pics will be up here the nanosecond they are released online.
