Neca April O'Neil Variants?
 
I was on Toy News International and saw this picture.

Are there variants of the SDCC figure? Or are these going to be the regular versions?

I just saw this on toynewsi.com also. I was looking to see if someone posted a topic about it. I'm glad there is a yellow suit variant, as that is the one I would want to buy.

I'm not sure if these green and yellow figures will be at SDCC this year or not. Is the SDCC April in blue? Hopefully someone will have the answers to these questions.

Yeah, the yellow one brings a smile to my face. But, I hope/wish these are the SDCC versions, The blue should be the regular.

Toonami Tom 07-18-2009 11:07 AM

I want the yellow one because it reminds me of the original toon April, lol. I also hope these are at SDCC (so I can buy one sooner), but if they are, they may cost more money than the regular version. I won't be going to SDCC, so I guess ebay or an online store will be where I buy mine.

meh I liked the blue better

April looks so ugly in all three colors.

She looks the best in the blue one, then the green I guess....yellow looks the worst.
(maybe its because I've seen her in the blue one for so long already I got used to it, I remember when I first saw that blue I hated it).

The yellow one is too bright, yeah its OT accurate I guess but a duller yellow would have worked perfectly...oh well I'm definitely getting the yellow one.


And yeah they confirmed a while ago Blue would be SDCC exclusive while the regular release would be different colors.

Seriously, blue was fine, it would be great if they would just hurry up and get to the rest of the line. I have a serious jonesin' for Shredder and those foot ninjas/elites. I gotta start building my foot army!

Personally, I prefer the blue one, but I do like that they made a yellow one (even if the only thing about it that's accurate to the OT is the color, as the rest is still comic accurate).

One thing I would have preferred, though, is that April be wearing normal clothes. She only wore that jumpsuit in her first appearance (because it related to her job at the time), so it would have been nice to have a figure of her wearing the kind of clothing she usually wore.

yeah a casual April would be better then just a color change

VaughnMichael 07-18-2009 03:42 PM

I was told that the Yellow one is the mass market version.
The blue one is for San Diego Comi-con.
And the Green one is news to me.

It's an easy way for them to profit off of the same mold without having to spend a crap load more money without making new parts.

yeah the colors seem to be off compared to the other colors

Oh sure, April gets a yellow juitsuit, but I can't get simple bandana/fleashtone variants :tgrumble:

That is neat though. To bad I only want the Mousers.

Toonami Tom 07-18-2009 03:52 PM

I'm so used to Playmates canceling action figures, and NECA never released the Shredder/Foot wave, that I wonder if I should buy the SDCC blue clothes April, just so I will have an NECA April.

I prefer to wait for the yellow clothes April, but when is NECA planning on releasing it in stores?

Wes 07-18-2009 05:20 PM

Gahhhhhhhhh I've gotta have that yellow April. THANK YOU, NECA! Here's hoping I'll be able to find it when it's released...

Newton Gimmick 07-18-2009 05:57 PM

Yeah I covered this over at the blog today. Some interesting choices but at least NECA is doing something.

I've heard that there's a chance that the 4 Turtles will be rereleased, so... maybe the possibility of color variations for them exists, as well.

Slap-Happy 07-18-2009 07:38 PM

Why can't they just release series 2? All the figures are finished, correct?

bedbugjones 07-18-2009 08:38 PM

what a waste of paint i thought these were supposed to be comic figures.

NECA SOLD-OUT:x
