For an action figure I like the chain. They could get away with it

Do you think they recycled the chucks from the last classic Mikey? Who cares though I'm gonna buy them. Also I can totally understand the faces now. I love it. Way more accurate than I thought. Need to support this until I get Krang, and shredder. Even though I like it either way!

You can't compare the sideshow and the hot toys to 6 inch collector figures, first they are more advanced dolls with changeable bits, loads of accessories often extra head bigger size, extreme attention to detail.

Comparing marvel legends, DC Universe, MOTUC or Star Wars black to Hot Toys is asinine and completely off point.

NECA's new large figures could be slightly compared into the Hot Toys camp, as they are around that scale with lots of details but for a more affordable price point.

The more I look at them the more I think how awesome they are! I only hope they don't skip out on the finger nail and toe nail paint job on the final product.

It's somewhat close, but still. The figures are too cartoony to be the 1990 turtles. maybe it's a minor nitpick for some and it might be lesser noticeable with some proper paint job.

Yeah

I was wondering that too. Guy comes straight out of the wood works and has quality freaking insight I like it. So there isn't just illegal pics out there. Sweet! Do you have these pics of the others?

I think there are two big issues with these new figures.

First one right off the bat, the face sculpts. The face sculpts are too 'soft' like when you see a prototype of a figure and how detailed and awesome it looks, but when put into production sometimes, a lot of those details are lost in the molding process.

The other issue, the eyes. There needs to be some green skin showing around the eye holes since that it how they are in the movie.

tbh for £15 if they stay the way they are I will be happy, green paint around the eyes would most likely get cut from the final product if they were on the protos. I really like them, and put it this way, why would anyone buy stealth turtles or other gimmick turtle figures over these awesome figs, when they are a fraction higher in price, but alot more awesome.

These would have been perfect if they were shorter. Really wish they had made them in actual 6" scale instead of just straight 6 inches tall. I'll probably pass on them just like I did the first ones because of the size.

I would've liked it if Don's mouth was closed and Raph looked more angry but at the same time, beggars can't be choosers. I wanted these and I got them so I'm content.

I agree, we asked for them, we got them, and there is no way we will ever get any other 90s movie turtles in the future. I don't think in all honesty they could be much better, unless they produce them with a $50 price tag or higher.

Plus we've come full circle now because the movie star turtles were the secret of the ooze figures, the Samurai turtles were from the 3rd movie. Now we got these figures for the first movie.

The argument was directed at the cost of the figures. There's no grounds to compare quality. If someone complains about a mere $20, then he or she probably should not be collecting.

I've just been scanning through the pics here and elsewhere.
I like these. The packaging is neat, but the use if the Nick line titling is strange. I prefer the use of the classic titling in the previous releases. Minor gripe, as these will be ripped open and placed on display.

Two thumbs up from me on these figures.
Hope the paint application on the final product will be nice too.
