EDIT: Ah, one of Shredder's left hand blades is also noticeably bent!

Easy fix guys. Hot water then cold water. Done

Finally got around to opening mine. These are a thing of beauty! Everything from the box, to the figures and down to the accessories are drop dead gorgeous. The Mirage line from Neca can't be topped in my book.

My Shredder's legs were noticeably looser than all the rest, but I haven't been able to lift his arms at the shoulder either, as I figured it was made that way so as not to interfere with his shoulder guards.

Yeah, I thought the same. I looked up a review on YT & saw that they did in fact have that articulation, & carefully (yet forcefully) started moving them out. But man, it's a chore, & I'm fearful for damage.

Yep, my Shredder's legs are loosest too...

Sounds like NECA's crew might need to take some lessons from the School of Figuarts!

Awesome, I love this!

[The Fifth Turtle]

Wonder if they could retool that sculpt to work for an utrom suit?

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

They probably can't due to copyright reasons.

Hey guys,

I'm looking to trade my extra set with the crushed box. I just posted it over in the buy/sell/trade section but in case you don't visit over there often I wanted to let everyone know. I'm putting the details in a spoiler box below for quick reference.

Thanks.

Hey guys,

So I ordered an extra set of these and when it arrived, the box was smashed. (You can see the photos over in the Villains thread in the Toys/Collectibles section). That kind of defeated the purpose of having this set.

I'm interested in any of the following situations -

I can trade them...

1. Loose (complete with all accessories)
2. With crushed box (which I have straightened out pretty well, but is by no means "great")
3. With my other non-damaged box and I'll buy a new box from ebay or something.

What I'm looking for (any mix of the following) -

1. The NECA Turtle figures. I don't care if they're bootleg, just looking for some extras for customs and some projects I have in the works.

2. NECA Mousers. Again don't care if they're bootleg.

3. This one may be a little odd as it doesn't require you to "lose" something - I'd like to borrow the accessories that came with Turtles and mousers (i.e. bases, baby turtles, Ooze canisters, Light post, sewer cover, etc) so I can make molds and cast up some bases for myself for display and customs. Then, I would send them back. As I don't currently have any reputation here at the 'drome, I'd be more than willing to do it piece by piece. I also have 100% feedback on ebay since 2005 or 06.

4. The 1/4 scale NECA Donatello.

5. Any really fair offers besides money will be considered. I don't really know what else I'm looking for out there but I'm willing to think about things.

6. I'm also willing to part out as a last resort. (wouldn't mind keeping the extra foot')

Thanks for looking!

Oh man -- I know everyone has theirs by now, but I was only able to pop down to the border today, so here's my belated obligatory post. Behind a spoiler tag for big pics.

Spoiler:

The box/packaging has been posted enough already, but after all the updates about box and figure damage, I felt pretty lucky to only have a slight corner smash "wrong" with mine:



The figures themselves are in great shape and look terrific. I've got the same warped hand blades issue with Shredder, but I'll be taking a hair dryer to them soon to fix that issue. And Shredder's left shoulder joint is very tight and I'm a bit afraid to force it, but the rest are all moving/posing nicely.

I put away most of my other "display" stuff to make room. I've had my Turtles out forever in an action pose, and now it actually feels complete.







(Though the older figures are clearly in need of a dusting.)

And one last thing, for the sake of completion...



Feels like those two were apart for way too long.

Awesome set up there
I dig it

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

I guess these are no longer offered on the website.

Head over to the NEC site to get your exclusive 4 pack arcade turtles and villains sets. They just put it up on Facebook but quantities limited. Last chance to pick me up. Glad I was able to get a set...

[Candy Kappa]

No international shipping, so that sucks balls.

I think licensing restrictions they are only sold in US. They don't even ship to Canada.
