Of course, this is all just pure speculation.

Well they already have the sculpt for April and the Mousers, so anything with those in it is likely. I'd love to see them do a Casey and Splinter to match. I'd buy it.

Lovely stuff: http://necaonline.com/2016/09/new-yo...medium=social#

BUT - Only available for people in the US or at NYCC...

The rest of ya will probably get a shot on certain Chinese-run sites in a month or so, as has been the case with their arcade sets. For y'alls sake, I hope so anyway!

Obviously repaints of the Arcade figures are an easy option for them, but I'd also be very interested in the Movie 1 figures in this scale for a box set.

I just hope they can stick with this selling on their website like the new Shredder box set.

How cool would a Fugitoid and Triceraton box set be????

[TheMasterTurtle]

I'll never stop being hopeful but id be surprised at this point if they did more sculpts based on the mirage stuff or anything at this scale that they already didn't have in their archives.

Has it been confirmed with Randy that the arcade turtles were new or had they done them a long time ago and are also finally just seeing the light of day like the shredder and foot sculpts.

It's a lot of tooling costs to only be able to release these at cons

[Lil Karai]

I think this set is a "finishing unfinished business " thing, and I think they will move on to other TMNT projects after this.

Randy said yesterday when asked about it that a B & W version falls lower on the list. They can only sell at cons so they need to do the very best things at cons. He didn't say they wouldn't be done, just that they will be doing other things first.

[Chris]

Couple of 2-packs (Splinter/Casey, Fugitoid/Triceraton) or singles (like Leatherhead or Rat King) would be great to see in the future but for now I'm just glad we got these!

Randy was asked on Twitter if they thought about releasing the arcade turtles painted as OT, and he replied he has something incredible for San Deigo 2017.

That could mean anything but since it was a reply to that question my hopes are up.

Sweet! Hopefully this means either another mirage pack or 1990 movie figures

[The Purple Dragon]

He also said the best yet. Best yet fore me woued be more mirage but i doubt it.most likly Arcade repaints but time will tell unless randy can tell us more.the most ideal woued be if we woued Get movie/toon figurine in sdcc and mirage at nycc

Randy said they arent re-releasing the comic/mirage Turtles cause they have been bootlegged to death. So likely either 1987 toon OR which I'm hoping for 1990 TMNT 6/7 inchers

[Lil Karai]

I'm still holding out hope that some day we get IDW turtles from them. Since I'm buying the Figuarts turtles, I won't have a need for arcade--> OT repaint sets. Although what they might end up doing is OT repainted turtles in one pack and a new villains pack consisting of a repaint Shredder, 1 foot soldier and maybe Bebop and Rocksteady in which case I'd be tempted.

i dident talk about releasing the turtles but other figured from mirage Like splinter,casey Jones ,baxter Stockman etc

[snake]

Does NECA have the IDW rights? Imagine an IDW line from them. I'd be in love

I dont think we will Get shredder,one foot and bebop and rocksteady.they are to big if they are going all toon we will Get repaints of the Arcade set 1 shredder and 3 foot with the rifle from the Arcade set and ninja stars and perhaps one Sword to shredder.and Posseble Get rocksteady and bebop set at nycc

[Chris]

If they don't do an IDW line they could always do IDW style video game figures from Mutants in Manhattan.

Whilst they won't re-release the original Mirage Turtles I'd love to see them one day do another set of Mirage TMNT based on Eastman and Laird's later issues/style as they changed a lot from #1 to #11. That would be a good way to get around the bootleg issue. Of course I'd much rather see other Mirage characters first (Splinter and Casey being top of the list)

[sdp]

You guys are being too hopeful. I think next we'll see OT versions of the turtles since that's what the sculpts are.

[ProactiveMan]

The rich get richer... how depressing. I'm going to go drown my sorrows in something chocolatey.

[Lil Karai]

Someone on Twitter today asked why the sales restrictions of the NYCC Mirage set were different than the SDCC arcade set. They said that due to the overwhelming positive fan response over the SDCC set, the licensor let up on the restrictions for NYCC. (That's good news!)

Also someone asked if we could expect to see Bebop and Rocksteady at SDCC this year. Randy said unlikely as they would require new and unique tooling for limited use and they felt the characters were over exposed.

Thank Zeus.

I like Bebop and Rocksteady as much as the next guy, but there are a whole bunch of characters less represented and more deserving, IMO. Mirage Splinter and Casey would be incredible if they could make the new sculpting worthwhile -- though that's probably a long shot.
