I went to Frank and son's this morning and bought both sets. They're really cool except when I got home I noticed in the bottom right corner, next to Raphael, there is one of those small do not eat silica bags. It's kinda bugging me. I keep my stuff unopened so I might use the blow dryer on the tape so I can get it open and remove it.

Yeah, I've had mine for 7 years MOC too but I'd definitely trade those for these.

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...
Don't think there would be any form of mass release for these figures. NECA simply just can't.

Whoa these figures look great, I want them! I just wish they had made an arcade Bebop and Rocksteady for the villain set, rather than 2 additional foot soldiers, that would have been awesome.

I notice the actress for April on the marquee cover art has been replaced with a different actress, why is that? Also the vintage TMNT OT logo has been changed looks different, is that a legal issue that NECA can't use the vintage OT logo?

My sets are on the way.
The logo is the current marketing tool and as such will be used accordingly.

I agree that the sets look fantastic, and the pic above showing the scale really sets them off as being a great addition to a Turtles collection.

The Henson figures are looking like $100 each. I'd keep the BW Mirage set personally and find another way to finance the 18" movie set.

My final bill came in for my Video Turtles. Just under $90 a set. I actually thought I was getting a great deal, as I thought that was for the pair!!! Haha!!

I've told my guy I'm back in town and they are on their way. Cool.

How could you possibly come to that conclusion based on this exchange?

Yes, B + R would have been excellent, but undoubtedly more expensive to produce.

As to the actress being different, I had thought so, too, but realized that on the original artwork there are two different images: one on the side, and another along the top on the marquee. The NECA box features the marquee image, which is authentic.

That's the logo Viacom uses to differentiate ownership "era", licensing agreement they have to use the new logo.

One issue I have with these figures (like all larger figures), because I'm thinking of buying them from ebay before they are gone from there, is that they won't fit in most turtle vehicles. Okay so usually I never open a package because that's just wrong! But with these I was thinking of having at least one in the newer party wagon. But looking at the headroom they would probably not fit.

Okay so why would it matter, why not just pose one of them on a shelf? Because I like to pose them doing more than just, pose. I'm building the sewers from the original cartoon, with streets and a couple of buildings (like channel 6 news). They would fit in all of that but not if I wanted to put some of them in the party wagon rolling down the street. In other words, NECA or someone else need to make the original party wagon in a larger size.


Anyway, sorry for the rant. Still love the new figures though.

I just noticed that the Neca Shredder is basically a Mirage Shredder with a cape.

No they've used the OT logo before.
