Sigh. As a SDCC exclusive, there's a good chance that if retail is $100, we'll have to pay $200. Most exclusives aren't that hard to come by after the show, but I have a feeling this one is going to be different, especially if the edition size is low.

Those eBay auctions could very well be a decent price.

What a great surprise! Too bad I'll never own these, but still! Maybe they'll be some decent Chinese bootlegs made a few years down the road.

This is pretty big news!

$100 less than the first presale shown above. These will be available pre - $100 after the event.
Im sure we've all been through our first SDCC exclusive purchase. Mine was a B/W set of First Doctor / DALEK. Paid a ton of cash, and happy to do it. Its still available, years later at about 1/4 what I paid. Worth sitting on a fence for a bit. Once sold to the flippers, there will be eBay competition. Advice - Don't preorder.

Anyone here only interested in a single figure? If 4 people are interested it'd be $25 a turtle. i only want Donatello.
I'd give you $25 for Raph in a heartbeat!!!

What is big news? I refuse to click through on pages that require me to disable ad block.

Also- As someone who grew up in arcades I can say I dont think I like these...if it wasnt for the pixel block shading they would be sweet. Just give us the figs not the silly shading.

Do all NECA figures get bootlegs?

The vg pixel style doesn't worry as well with 16bit as it does with 8 bit but it's fine and different. Normal paint jobs are not needed for me since we have the superior SHFiguarts coming out but I would like the best shredder figure to date not to be pixelated ....

I just pre-ordered both sets for a good price shipped. I'm pretty pumped hopefully the guy comes through. I don't mind the pixels as much, I'm sure someone will paint a set. I really caved just for Shredder and the turtles look awesome. Call it impulse, my excuse is I didn't buy the 1/4 Neca movie line. Who knows maybe we get mirage shredder, one can wish. Between these and the Figuarts its been an expensive day to say the least

The shading is personally the charm of them for me. I played the ever loving crap out of this game back in the day and actually almost bought an arcade cabinet of it a couple of years ago and got sick with some gallbladder problems that put me out of work for a while and kept me from being able to get the machine. It is still one of my dreams to own it. I definitely could see how these wouldn't be for everybody though.

I am determined to have a 4 player TMNT cabinet at some point as well. That and the 6 player X-men were huge in arcades.
