I would totally jump at a set of each for $100. But alas, I live in Australia and we don't have massive conventions that pull exclusives like this. I'll be one of the ones fighting it out on eBay afterwards. I'll take the risk and see what the prices are after SDCC happens but I'll be kicking myself if the price skyrockets the way the red bandanna NECA sets did.

Wishful thinking says I might score some for less than the $200 per set that the eBay "pre-orders" are selling for.

it sucks seeing people blame neca on facebook for all this crap. I have to keep posting telling people to blame Playmates toys.

also Neca kinda takes a shot at the movie figures

@NECA_TOYS when was the last time TMNT toys generated this much PR for the Turtles brand? Someone has to take notice.


NECA
‏@NECA_TOYS
one can only hope, certainly light years better than all that Shadows product on shelves at mass

Yeah I think NECA is hoping (given the insane amount of PR this has generated) that the licensors will take notice and change the licensing restrictions.

I notice that BBTS has pre-sold out of NECA's 1:4 Donatello. That prompted me to pre-order locally. I am not missing out on Henson turtles. I'd prefer 7", but who knows when/if that will happen.

I am hoping that SH Figuarts announces 1990 Henson TMNT at SDCC 2016. Even if NECA ends up doing some, it may turn out to be another situation like these arcade Turtles.

Well they did say they were seriously considering it, so fingers crossed. SDCC should have a crazy amount cool reveals for us turtle fans, I think.

If NECA do end up making a set of 7" 1990 Henson turtles that they can only sell exclusively and I have no chance of getting and I am forced to pay secondary-market prices...

... you won't hear me complain.

Same here. I'm hoping they are DVD tie ins or another set of SDCC exclusives next year. I don't really care.

Randy on Twitter today when someone asked if they could do more sets with different characters at a future 'con:

"not only do I have a lot more planned we have a lot more done"


So this is my notice: Attend SDCC next year.

Great news!








If you're American...

Saw the arcade set was on eBay UK - £300 - about $450 USD

I wasn't talking about per figure I was talking the whole sets itselfs. I know Neca will probably make a Casey Jones in the 7 inch scale just for Comic Con and that will annoy me to no end. Cause SDCC prices on exclusives are usually really expensive.

The whole set is $100, or $25 per figure. Sounds like your problem is with the aftermarket, not NECA's pricing. You realize they have zero control over the aftermarket, right?

no my problem is with Playmates being assholes and not letting NECA sell these at retail.

Then why say they are overpriced? That doesn't support your argument as it doesn't have anything to do with Playmates.

They'll be overpriced in the aftermarket which they're in because they can't be anything but SDCC exclusives which is Playmates fault. It's a valid complaint, stop busting balls.
