SDCC means San Diego Comic Con, which has not happened yet.

Oh. I knew what SDCC meant but I didn't know it didn't start yet.

Sorry for the double post, but I thought this warranted it.

A PR person for Playmates has confirmed for me that this figure will be available after the convention.

Hi Stephan,

A limited number will be made available for a limited time after Comic Con.

Best,
Amanda

thanks for sharing that info, sounds like it will be like the limited Night Shadow Leo, not very limited after all.

So, where else will it be available after the convention? TRU?

Seems like I might get one after all, a friend of mine is going to SDCC. He said he'll try to pick up a second Shredder for me.

Looking at that Shredder figure and thinking back to last year, I'm a little dissapointed in the exclusives that Playmates offers for TMNT SDCC. So far they offered the Night Shadow Leonardo which was basically a fixed-pose/strangely colored version of the regular Leonardo figure and now this year we get a different paint/chrom app version of a Shredder figure that will be released later this year.

I guess I should be grateful for any SDCC exclusives but when you compare Playmates to other toy manufactures that utilize SDCC for releasing unique/obscure characters or figures (that generally wouldn't do well in a mass retail distribution) it seems like we sort of get the shaft with TMNT. I mean how cool would it be to get something like a two-pack of Pulverizer in turtle and foot ninja garb? Or characters that probably wouldn't warrant a mass retail release such as Dr. Falco, Pete the Pigeon, or April's father?

Anyhow, just my two cents.

I agree that Playmates could definitely manage better exclusives, but I think all of these ideas would be horrible.

This panel is scheduled SDCC:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Action Figure Showcase
Members of the mutant marketing team for Playmates Toys-the master toy licensee for TMNT since the 1980s-prepare to "unleash shell," discussing what's now, new, and next for the articulated heroes on a half-shell. Get sneak peeks at future toys (perhaps some from season 2 of the Turtles' animated series or the upcoming TMNT movie), and ask questions of "team green" members who've worked on all three incarnations of the Turtles since their debut decades ago.
Thursday July 18, 2013 2:00pm - 3:00pm*
Room 25ABC

I thought with the confirmation of Casey Jones, it would be really fitting if they release a Casey Jones variant figure instead. Maybe with an alternate mask or a hockey stick with SDCC exclusive engraved on it.

It takes about a year for a figure to go from concept to distribution. So in all likelihood, Casey Jones as a figure is still in pre-production, and if shown at SDCC would be as concept art or a hand-painted prototype. I'd say November or December at the earliest for tooling.

Sigh. Thanks for making your SDCC exclusive not actually exclusive...again. At least they let the cat out of the bag ahead of the convention this time, though.

You would prefer if it could ONLY be purchased at SDCC? Why? for value? Who cares! It's just plastic. Let more people buy it and enjoy it. I don't understand people like this.
