True, but Randy mentioned on Twitter that Nickelodeon is now marketing all "retro" TMNT stuff with that modified logo.

Shredder and the Foot are just the old NECA TMNT molds that they never released from the Mirage figures. This is how they've finally got them out. You'll note that the Foot look nothing like the Foot from the classic Fred Wolf show or the video game, aside from the paint.

In a way I think these kinda look more toon accurate than the Figuarts (the sculpts themselves not the paint).

I sure hope they continue this line, would be nice to have a Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang, Splinter, and April in this style.

Yeah April, I would love a new one from NECA. In her yellow jumpsuit of course. I would also love to have Irma, Burne and Vernon. It's just hard to find the toon versions nowadays.

Well, I did see a Burne and Irma MOC from a UK ebay seller not too long ago so they are there and available - price expectations is somewhat else though: 60+ bucks each.

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...

Same. I'm seriously tempted to invest in this set from eBay, but I would be un-amused if they later released the same set re-painted for a normal retail price for a NECA 5" figure (or whatever the exact size is).

Yeah I've seen a couple. The price is a little too high. Besides I want loose figures I can put in a channel 6 news model building I'm making.

I had a wait and see attitude with the black and white set, wound up paying over 300 for mine


Got my shipping notice today, they will be here on the 1st

I too decided to pick up the two sets on eBay rather than wait and see how high they shoot up in value over time. I typically would never give in to scalper prices but this time the price for the sets wasn't too bad, had I actually gone to SDCC I would have spent nearly 10x as much on the whole trip so in a backwards way this is a cheaper alternative.

I have the previous two NECA box sets (both NYCC and SDCC versions) along with the individual figures so I couldn't miss out on their first TMNT offerings in years. Besides the figures themselves, the box and overall presentation is what sold me. The arcade game was a huge part of my childhood and that cabinet artwork brings back lots of fond memories.

[DVD]

Just checked eBay. Best price for both sets at this time is $330.00 which is a bit more than a 40% mark up. I think the greed factor of a couple of weeks back has subsided, although I have seen a seller here wanting that price for EACH set !!

A couple of early pics:






All in all a pretty amazing looking set.

[DVD]

Another teaser pic:



I'll do a full set of pics over the next couple of days and upload here.
Nuff to say I really, really like this set. And the best thing- the packaging. Coolest TMNT packaging ever.

And just for laughs, here's a pic of the uber rare black and white variations:

Got my Foot Clan box set in today. Foot ninjas stand about 6.5" tall and Shredder is about 6.7" tall in case anyone is wondering.

I am almost positive these will get released as singles next year.

Unless you have some inside information that the License Agreement is getting a overhaul so that other American companies that license TMNT for action figures can release 1/12th and 1/10th scale figures outside of convention exclusives. They legally can't do that.

Randy have stated over and over, that the only way NECA can release 6" figures are as convention exclusive box-sets. The 1:4th scale figures are the retail figures they can do as the license contract states.

Of course, if Randy do find a legal loophole to exploit where he can release 6-7" figures to regular retail stores. He will do that, they did that with their DC Superhero figures, they found a loophole and released them with DVDs as Home Media releases. But. That loophole is not available for TMNT, so time will tell. Viacom might get to their senses when they see the reception and the quality work from NECA, and urge Playmates to loosen up the License Agreement, but it's all speculation for now.

I think Usagi meant that Playmates will probably start re-releasing their classic Foot Soldiers painted in video game colors, since it seems like every time NECA does something amazing, Playmates tries to copy their ideas into an inferior product in hopes of capitalizing on the Retro Collector's market.

That said, I'd be all up for it!

Nice custom paints, BTW.

So in theory could NECA repaint these in Mirage colors and sell them as a Mirage box set at the next con?

Yes they can if they want to.i am a littel pissed they dident do that first.but perhaps the reason is that this is a one off and if they did relase a mirage set people woued want more. mirage stuff.hopefully we Get a mirage set on the next con and then some new repaint fore the toon and then some movie sets.just my wishes tho.the best way woued if randy coued find a loop Hole that they can open a web site where they can post a poll with diffrent charters that people can vote on and then make Protos and put up preorders.

Might be able to understand you better if you used spell check and proper punctuation.

I wonder if they might redo the Henson figures in smaller scale for a con exclusive, maybe an idea.

Got both of my sets a few days ago. Posted my review of the turtle set earlier today on the site. I'm real pleased with these! I wonder how soon we will start seeing Mirage Shredder bootlegs on eBay? I assume the molds will have a good chance of falling into the hands of the previous NECA bootleg sellers.
