we get it you dont like the NECAS but just because you dont doesnt mean others dont and doesnt change the quality of the figures

There are a lot of reasons that a company would drop a line. It's not always as simple as "low sales" - rights issues and professional conflicts alone can result in a deal falling through. And they do, all the time.

That you personally don't like them for your own reasons, that don't necessarily apply to anyone else?

I really like that comparison shot. The movie don looks great to me! He may have a cheesy smile but I actually like everything about him quite a bit. Thanks DVD!

Well at least they're the same height, people kept saying they were shorter. Thanks for the comparison

Nice to see the finger and toe articulation back.
I really don't think B&R can hold their weapons much better with non-articulated fingers.

Sad to see they still are way too tall for being in-scale with 6-7 inch figures.

How times have changed.
A year ago literally every TMNT fans united and decided to support this line even though B&R weren't the best of figures in hopes we could one day get Shredder, April or even Casey Jones.

Now, everyone is cursing and hoping this line will die with a vengeance.

If the 1990 movie turtle is the last of the CC figures, that would be a sad sad day.
It's not like we have a replacement for collector's quality figures. Then i guess it's back to collecting the very impressive Nick turtles full time then.

The Classics turtles are way too tall to fit with the 6-7 inch figures, as the turtles are meant to be around the 5 feet mark. Posing then next to any Marvel legends, NECA or DC Universe figures looks really weird.

I don't understand... If they are 6 inches, then they are 6 inches. How can they be 6 inches but "wayyy too tall"? 'cos otherwise they'd be 8 or 9 inches figures.

you want them to be the same size as 2014 movie turtles?

Because, they are not to-scale. If the turtles, who generally are around 5 feet tall, is to be in a 6 inch scale, they ought to be shorter then 6 inches.

Errrr..... i don't think anyone nor the packaging ever said they were 6-inch scale figures. Reviewers and such merely whipped out a ruler, measured and said they stand 6 inches tall.

But that is a very interesting picture!
