It's a shame the little guys don't have their teeth painted but with the right supplies they'd make for a great fix-up project. I'll have to grab them!

Yeah, the NECAs are definitely "sloppy" with lots of "flash" to remove. An exacto knife and or a little light sanding will take care of that though. I knew going into it that I would be repainting these guys, so I'm not bothered by it. I'll be sure to share pics when I'm done with them.

And the same goes for the little guys. I'll be repainting them to match the right colors and to paint their belts, teeth, and backs. I'll probably white-out the eyes as well.

Thanks for sharing, Rick! Those Neca's are appealing to me for some reason. Can't beat the price too! The mini figs are pretty cool also. I appreciate the size comparison pic. I think I'll pick up both eventually!

Yeah..there's some indepth reviews that have been posted a while ago, comparing the originals to the bootlegs.

NP Zak! Yeah, I like them. They are a little 'rough' but a little cleanup and some fresh paint will help these guys a lot! I'm looking forward to to customizing them. And the price is great for them.

Those Bootleg NECA's look like Playmates work.

Ya know...those things just popped up outta nowhere....perhaps they are 'prototypes' for figures that playmates plan to unveil soon!!?? Haha!

Where did you order them from? Are they showing up anywhere else besides aliexpress? I haven't even seen 'em on ebay yet.

[go_ninja84]

they came in yesterday, i ordered them from aliexpress. man i gotta say these are the worst figures i seen as far as bootlegs lol sticky a** paint, weapons flexed, belts dont even go all around but i knew they would be bad given the talk about lead paint and poor articulation. im just gonna throw them in my box of bagged loose figures and forget about them i know it sounds like disappointment but im not i mean what did i expect for 15.00 lol

Hee hee.. yeah, they are definitely "el cheapo's". I see some promise in them though since I bought them specifically to customize.

Are the weapons on the minifigs removeable?

Nope..they are solid figures with no articulation and the weapons are attached. The only way to get the proper weapons matched up with the proper color masks is to paint the masks.

Well I did manage to finally get my KO colored bandanna "NECA" figures in the other day.

I love them honestly... I need to get my authentic NECA Red Bandanna ones and the Black and White ones out again and display them all together.




You know, KOs are getting better and better... yeah the ones rick just picked up look like crap, but the NECA KOs and things like the Masterpiece Transformers KOs are good, really, really good.

I have a set of those as well...they may be my favorite turtles figures that I own! They are great.

I,m so angry.
I bought the classic collection toys from a german seller on ebay,and of course i got the bootlegs.
The packages look like the original ones,at first its realy hard to tell if those toys are bootlegs or not.
I suppose the german seller also has no idea.


but as you guys said the joints are super tight and the result was broken left arm on Michelangelo and loose left arm on Donatello .



The color from Donatellos bo was the first thing that made me think that its a bootleg,because its dark silver and not white.
Raphael and Leonardo look ok though,but i will definitely buy the original toys,i already got Bebop and Rocksteady.

Hey just bought a set of Neca red mask TMNT in the Tube packaging off of Amazon for $75 from Singapore. They should be coming by late August. I know they're probably bootleg, which is cool, but has anyone else bought from there? How was the experience?

i bought same set from there too. but i never opened them they are still in the tubes but i will say they did arrive earlier then estimated which was weird for international shipping, and they were packed pretty tight and arrived in good shape

[DevilSpooky]

Well, they work fast over there, I'll give them that.
