TMNT Neca

Hi,
im new and wasn't sure if someone else made a thread of this already but was wondering since I have the colored tmnt neca, would it be worth it to get the white/black tmnt neca as well?

If you hadn't got the coloured set then I have said yes in a heartbeat as the NECAs are easily the best TMNT figures to date (coloured or B&W), but as you already have a set I'm not sure. The NECAs cost a lot these days so it's really up to you. Do you want to display them enough to justify the cost?

I must admit I thought about it myself, but the current cost is just too high for me. I'm perfectly happy with my coloured set (which includes April and the Mousers) and would rather put the money the B&W set would cost towards something else. Think about it this way, for the cost of the B&W set you could probably get IDWs Ultimate Collections 1-3 or a commissioned piece of art from one of the original Mirage artists and still have money left over.

I'm not saying don't do it, I'm just saying think of the other stuff you could get with the money and decide which you want more. If you do decide to go for it just watch out for counterfeits (not sure if this problem affected the B&Ws much but there are loads of counterfeit coloured TMNT).

It's your call man. I personally like the black & white set even better. It's like they're fresh off of the comic book pages. I have both, though, the colored set is loose & displayed in cool poses with their bases (& April), whereas the BW set is in package on the shelf above. They look much better in box, to me, what with the OG comic art and logo next to them & the rad background behind them. I'd say they're definitely worth owning if you're a big fan of the original turtles, but like Chris said, if you already have other versions you might wanna put your money into something you don't yet own.
