Looks like they removed most of the articulation and resculpted the belts. Definitely a "poor man's" NECA figure for sure. Still, I will probably pick up a set or two since I do like to collect these things!!

Hey guys

I had a brief look in this thread but couldn't see anything further on this so...I believe the bootlegs above are indeed bootlegs, but bootlegs of these: http://www.crookedninja.com/2014/07/...-tmnt-reveals/ see "Comic Book Turtles
The four turtles get a retro redo in toy form, sort of look like cheap NECA ripoffs but hey at least they’re trying."

First time I have stumbled across the crooked ninja website, they have some interesting posts. The Revoltech stuff has me particularly excited, I'm gonna search for any posts on those figures now.

Sorry if this is already common knowledge, I know people get mad on duplicate posting and info...I don't blame them! But hard to keep track of stuff when you aren't able to visit frequently and also aren't able to sift through over 50 pages of posts...

First off, these are in NO WAY as nice as the original NECA's or the standard NECA bootlegs! The paint apps are sloppy, they are less articulated, their weapons are very rubbery, and the quality doesn't come close to actual NECA figures or the standard bootlegs. With that said though.. I really like these guys. They are CHEAP but they are also unique. At less than $4.00 per figure, they are quite a bargain in my mind. With a little bit of "flash" cleanup and some fresh paint, these will make very nice additions to my TMNT displays. Here are some pics (due to size, I've used SPOILER tags):

Each of these figures were individually bagged. They have Shoulder joints as well as "pivot" joints just below the shoulder. They only have basic leg/hip joints, no joints at the knee. And of course they have head joints.

Overall, I'm very pleased with these. With a little bit of work they will look great.

I'm thinking this piece isn't a bootleg, but perhaps a rare prototype??!! Anyone have details on this piece?

It's not a prototype given the turtle figures generally didn't have belts on and certainly didn't have push buttons in the buckles of their belts. Unless it is a prototype of a bootleg.

D Piddy 1982 · 08-12-2014, 07:42 AM

Hey rickwj324 what I meant was I believe they are bootlegs of the Playmates "Comic Turtles" figures, shown in the link I posted.

http://www.crookedninja.com/wp-conte...rtles-sdcc.jpg

I need to be more concise next time!

Yeah.. I've never seen anything like it. It just didn't seem like a bootleg to me. More like a rough prototype in progress kind of thing. I know nothing about it though, so I thought I'd share. I figured you TMNT experts here might have seen it before.

ctt4lfecw · 08-13-2014, 07:31 AM

HOLY COW! Wow, just got my TMNT Necas from Singapore yesterday and man......Im speechless. I have been collecting TMNT toys for a long time, and what everyone has said is true. THESE ARE THE BEST DAMN TMNT FIGURES ON EARTH. Do yourself a favor and track a set down.

Cool! Are these bootlegs that are still in production? Any place to buy them online?

Hey, I've been considering getting the NECA "bootlegs" off eBay for some time, however I wondered one thing. I have an original NECA mikey, and he came with a baby turtle, a piece of floor to stand him on and also some alternative hands with climbing spikes in. I wonder, do the bootlegs come with these accessories, or just the primary weapons? I'm guessing they don't, but if you could confirm, thanks. Piddy.

DrunkonOoze · 08-14-2014, 11:15 AM

. Donnie is there for size comparison.

*Powder* · 08-14-2014, 03:46 PM

Wow, that's one funky looking bootleg! I have no idea what the base for it was but it almost looks like it could fit in with other Playmates figures.

& D Piddy, they only have their respective weapon(s), no other accessories.

It looks like something else with a ninja turtle head stuck on it. Two different shades of green and the head doesn't fit the body sculpt at the neckline.

Is the head even attached? It looks like if you held it upside down the head would fall off

Stating the obvious.

I just meant the body itself was reminiscent of Playmates' old design aesthetic.
