I'll do the same thing, I have no chance whatsoever to get them otherwise, unless there's a kind soul here on the forums who'll help me out. How much did you pay for yours?

These could have actually ben pretty good if the pixelation wasn't so dark and the pixelation was on the hands and feet.

Woot! Got them in hand and these guys are great! Love the sizes, colors,
And display boxes. Pixelation makes this a very special and unique set. Great addition to NECA's Video Game Appearance line and their TMNT portfolio.

Anyone looking for a loose figure. Ebay seller igytz has a few up around 50$ a piece. Expensive, but if really want a certain turtle, at least there is a option.

I almost grabbed Don, but hopefully more will show up a bit cheaper.
50$ is half a Henson Neca!

$100 each set =$25 per figure if you want to think of it that way.

Yes, but as a vet of SDCC, let me say that navigating the crowds, getting the figures, carrying them around or finding someplace to store them, and then finally trying to ship them all takes additional work and energy.

I wouldn't pay $50/figure, but I also wouldn't ever expect to get one for $25, either. Doesn't take into account everything I mentioned above, the shipping costs, and eBay and PayPal fees.

I am interested in buying a set, anyone who has picked up an extra set, or wants to sell the one they have. Please PM me.

The con just started so your seller likely just got the figures. Unless you chose overnight shipping I'd expect you will get it mid next week.

Even if you paid for overnight shipping, I'd be surprised to see these go out before Monday. If someone is going to spend the money and time to go to comic con, they probably aren't interested in spending several hours at the local Pack & Ship store mailing out exclusives. They've got a convention to attend.

I think these are the most visually accurate representation of the OT Turtles in figure form, well except for the giant pixels.


The Turtles weren't pixelated like that in the Arcade games, but I get what they are trying to do. Its not actually accurate to what it advertises itself as, but I think its kind of clever.

I've been thinking about ebaying them but if I can wait for a mass release with non-pixelated colors I'll do it.

Have we heard ANYTHING about a non-SDCC release of these figures in any shape or form?

Keep holding out for some solid info on this...

It's worth the price considering their black and white Mirage set is over 300 now
