Will NECA ever do The Next Mutation?

[ToTheNines]

With the movie line winding down, and seeing them release crap like We Wish You a Turtles Christmas and CootS, does anyone expect NECA to eventually give TNM a shot?

[Andrew NDB]

I'd seriously probably buy a set if they did.

[RaphaelinSTL]

That's 100% the set I want the most now from them ... say what you will about the show, but there is something really fun, unique and 90s about those live-action suits.

[Dask]

All of these so-called critically panned iterations/films have the greatest potential to translate into some supremely awesome figures.

-Rahzar & Tokka, Super Shredder (SOTO)
-Samurai Turtles (TMNT III)
-Musical Mutagen Tour
-Next Mutation
-Bay Turtles (e.g. Three Zero or Prime 1 Studio for reference)

I'm pretty sure we'll get them but I fear it's going to be a 5 pack SDCC exclusive with the turtles just being slightly modified movie turtles with new head sculpts and only new figure is Venus.

There's really no way. Those shells, plastrons, and heads are way different. Maybe the limbs might be about the same.

They did Coming Out of Our Shells so I'd say anything is possible. Only negative is they'll tower over the Hasbro Power Rangers in Space figures. I kinda wanted to display them together, the old Playmates ones kinda work though with the Hasbro scale.

I could have sworn Randy said in some interview they would never make Next Mutation figures. Maybe I am mistaken.

[RaphaelinSTL]

You know Randy once said no to TMNT II and TMNT III ... I feel like where there's money to be made ...

... and honestly, selfishly, I still hope they do cause that's the last big set out of my wish list.

The boys will definitely buy Venus…that is, if Neca isn’t worried about being accused of promoting male-gazing and stays true to her design in the show.

I'm going to hot glue that Venus figure.

Her design is cool, but male-gazing is the very definition of how she was portrayed in those first few episodes. Even though this was supposed to be a continuation of the movie series, they basically rewrote their back story, and for them to not be "related" so the four of them could hit on her. They eventually calmed down as the show went on, but it would've been just as easy to make the show about a bad ass sister instead of "ooo hottie turtle alert."

Honestly, now that we're talking TNM ... I would totally get a Dragon Lord figure too. For as goofy as his character became, what a figure that would be. He could come with Wick too, lol.

I don't think they care, the ladies in the Gargoyles line, if anything, are a little more sexy with their NECA redesigns.
