Okay Dokay.
Shake your shells !!!

These look pretty cool. They're not "perfect" representations, butt they look the turtles from the movie. You know what you're looking at when you see them. Everyone's just getting caught up on the paint job not having spots, or some other nit pick. Anyone know where I can preorder them?

Well to me they got the shells right! I am also really liking the weapons. The faces are very specific, that to me doesn't make them terrible though. I will pick them up! Thanks DVD it is much appreciated!

Are people really complaining them not having spots?
I swear i heard people complaining too when they DID have spots.

Correct me if i am wrong, but non spots is from the first 2 movies, right?
Spots only exist in the 3rd movie? Not sure, haven't seen the movie since i was a kid.

So NECA don't make toys, eh? Of course they do. Different target markets, sure. But they're still making TOYS.

And certainly the best representation of those characters to date.

"Everyone"? Again, you're stating your opinions as facts there. Personally I can't stand the original cartoon.
It's clear you're a big fan, and have a strong dislike for the original Mirage style (as evidenced by your bashing of the NECA figs), but you need to realise that not everyone feels the same as you.

It wouldn't do for us all to like the same things, after all...

You can probably get away with that definition if you were speaking to a normal guy but to a figure collector, "toy" means very different things.

And since you're posting on this forum, i assume you'd understand these lingoes being thrown around. Words like "Retro", "classic" and "vintage" means very specific things.

So forget what i said if you did not understand what i meant when i said Neca doesn't make toys.

Ok now I am sold even more! That is fantastic! Thanks again man! Really appreciate it!

Hey thanks for posting these pics. Just to jump in the conversation here, Im thinking I may get a set and repaint the skin add some high and low lights and put a matte varnish over that. I think that simple customization may do wonders for these since they ended up being shiny and mono toned. I was really hoping for a lot more for these. Jim Henson deserves better after so many years and so we, the fans from the beginning who have provided the fuel to sustain these characters validity in pop culture. I mean if Ralph was the tallest, Mikey noticably shorter, Leo and dons belt inbetween their shell lines, mikey and raphs belt covering the bottom line on the front shell, some banndana definition, different facial expressions, heads shorter and narrower, then they'd be soooo much closer to the magic Steve Barron and Jim Henson created for all of us who have been waiting on these for 24 years.

*DVD* · 06-17-2014, 02:39 AM

I am going to get a second set and give them to one of my students who also does art.
I will supply reference pics. Hopefully we have the correct media in the art dept. !!

Do you think you can show what they look like in packaging?
I would like a closeup of the stands, and them next to the regular CC turtles too if that's not too much to ask.

*DVD* · 06-17-2014, 03:58 AM

Packets are gone .
My CC figures are at home whilst these 1990s are here in my office.
The stands are identical to the other ones except the title.
I'll do some comp photos at the weekend for you.

Thanks in advance.

Are there any wash to the stands or just plain looking like B&R?

*DVD* · 06-17-2014, 04:57 AM

Just plain like the rest. However I did see a drain cover here with a 1990 imprint !!

You really are a condescending little chap, aren't you? How about you give me some definitions of "toy", "retro" "classic" and "vintage", seeing as you're so knowledgeable?

Cowabungawolf89 · 06-17-2014, 11:01 AM

Wow, you got your set early?
I can't wait to get mine soon. Hey DVD can you make a comparison with the cartoon ones if you have a set of them? I hear people saying they're shorter than the 87 cartoons ones so I wanted to see for myself.

madyankees · 06-17-2014, 11:06 AM

DVD... How did the packaging of the Classics 90s turtles look? Did they use the "coming out of the man-hole" pic on the packaging?

*The Boston Ninja Turtle* · 06-17-2014, 11:40 AM

gonna admit i am grabbing the movie classics...but just noticing the more i look at the them the more they look like the tour turtles

Spidergreg · 06-17-2014, 12:00 PM
