NECA TMNT Speculation Thread. 2016 and beyond

[DestronMirage22]

I feel a bit better it's more FW stuff I can't get and not Mirage. But it still stinks these will never be available at retail.

They're going to be available for online pre-ordering, similar to the NYCC Mirage sets.

Does anyone know if the ones online cam be delivered?

Wasn't there something last year about how you could order online but you had to pick them up in person?

Look at the tweets above. Yes they will be order-able online but it is a limited release so you gotta order right when they open it up or they'll sell out. They will prob do a limit 2 per customer like they did with the Mirage sets.

Yes that was the case for last year's SDCC set but not NYCC. Looks like looser restrictions this year for SDCC 2017

Last question, for those who have ordered items from the NECA store: Do they charge you when you order or when your order ships?

If I'm remembering correctly, they charge when you order.

Well, there's still NYCC this year. Though I'd think it'd be a continuation for the 30th anniversary celebration/ homage to the Fred Wolf cartoon with additional characters.

They've hinted that 2018 SDCC will be 6" Henson figs. (Hinted at not confirmed).

What other figures are there besides these and Figuarts?

Don't forget Fred Wolf is what started it all they just wanna pay proper homage to the series that hooked us in

I like them and I'll be getting them

[Huzzah]

The Figuarts Turtles filled my Fred Wolf niche, I would beyond love to see Henson Turtles.

Man, on one hand I love that they're finally making the turtles I've wanted for soo long. But I still wish they didn't add those weird black lines all over the figures. What's the point? The figures are already three dimensional, there's no need to suggest depth with paint.

It made more sense with the Mirage line than on these.

[ProactiveMan]

I want those. I'm guessing they're US only again though.

From neca i want 03. 07 and 12 turtles as well with more mirage but i guess we have to wait on the timeline now 88 then 90 movie next year so i think its posseble if the sale on this exclusive sells out.can this year nycc posseble be bebop and rocksteady and krang?

Black lines?

The SDCC exclusive will be 8 figures. They've teased the turtles with no good pics yet, and they've hinted at Newly sculpted Shredder and Foot soldiers. We still don't know what the other figures are in this set. I expect the full reveal next Tuesday for #turtletuesday but who knows?

What black lines are you talking about? What did I miss?

Look at Shredder's arm, just behind his blades. Two little black lines highlighting his musculature.

It makes some amount of sense for toon figures, it helps toon-ify them... But, I would rather they didn't end up on the final version...this close to SDCC though that's prob not just a prototype.

The turtles themselves don't appear to have any black lines that I can see.

I am hearing a lot of people sounding slightly disappointed that these turtles are what we're getting. Not necessarily here, but elsewhere. What more do these people want/expect from a company who can only sell us this scale of turtles once or twice per year for a month or so? The arcade turtles were awesome, and these will be awesome, and we will all want them, and we will even have a chance to order outside the con this year...so I'd like to hear a little less whining and a little more acknowledgement of the reality: GOTTA HAVE EM! :p

[AquaParade]

Donnie,

I think a lot of people are just tired of Fred Wolf at this point. There are an abundance of FW products out there and maybe less Mirage and Henson, which to many fans are also the iterations that capture the characters better.

Since NECA make such high quality TMNT products, and so rarely at that, it makes sense that there are some built up expectations and disappointment going around.

Still, I'm sure they'll be great figures for those who want them. I'll give them a final look but as of now they don't appeal to me.
