I'm sitting here on ebay myself and so close to clicking buy. I mean sure bills and food and all that adult stuff, but TMNT are more important...

No but seriously, they're gorgeous looking figures. Keep them.

I wonder if they might redo the Henson figures in smaller scale for a con exclusive, maybe an idea.
Randy did say there was more tmnt to come. More specifically two versions of shredders.

The knockoff Mirage are really great figures.
I was shocked because the Revoltech knockoffs were... knockoffish.

the KO mirage's are great. i have two of the colored sets one to open and one to keep in the package. i have the legit release that i never opened so i decided to buy the all red KO's a few months ago to display.

almost gave it and bought the revoltech one's but a week later i saw that they were going to be reissued.

My sets came in yesterday and I'm very happy with them. They look great with the previous box sets, they are practically the exact same width. They are a bit taller though.

Here's a pic of all of the box sets together, I'll put it in a spoiler tag due to the size.

Spoiler:

I really hope NECA works out the licensing issues with Playmates/Viacom sooner rather than later. Their work is just too good to be kept from consumers' hands.

I wanted to display the two sets side by side. My fridge gets in the way, so I can't overhang the sets.

So I opted to display my Neca Turtles in one set up.



I'll find a way to display the Foot set later today.

For now, I must say again, that these guys just look great.

And, after a bit of squeezing up on another shelf unit. I did manage to fit in the Foot set:



Technically side by side... Separated by a door and my water cooler!! Haha

It amazes me how we spend 100s on imported Chinese plastic then put them right into storage.

I do the same thing:/

My buddy does it too. Says they are for his kid to sell when he's gone. He doesn't even intend to display them ever.

Just a massive supply of future investment.

I love displaying my things.

The thing with me is I do plan on displaying my figures. My wife and I are in the process of buying a house so all our stuff is packed away and we pretty much live like we're moving lol. Once we get more room I will put everything on display. I never look at my collection as an investment its a hobby and dont plan on ever selling it
