2016 Eastman and Laird villains set - Page 11

Greenteam4 · 09-13-2016, 07:22 PM

Got my April a few years ago for $20. I got the blue but had the option for green or yellow as well. My turtles are legit and I had no idea about anything except I thought they were cool comic turtles. Really hope I will be able to get a set of the villains.

The green & yellow ones never got made.

UGH-- I didn't know you could get them in yellow. Back to eBay.

Posted just after Powder's comment. Nevermind! Time to go custom...

Yeah, I believe the Yellow and Green Aprils were solicited by NECA shortly after the Comic-Con one was released. I want to say places like BBTS even had pre-orders up for them along with the rest of Series 2 (Shredder and the Foot) but they were all cancelled once the problems with Playmates reared their ugly head. I am so glad a workaround was found.

*oldmanwinters* · 09-13-2016, 09:20 PM

I never saw the appeal of the NECA April green and yellow variants, so it's not a disappointment they didn't make it to retail. It was a comic book design, so only the Mirage Blue jumpsuit made sense to me.

I'll admit that I'm not the most knowledgable on the early Mirage books. Didn't the blue jumpsuit first hit in the First graphic novels that were colored and released way after the fact? The original black and white books leave it a bit open to interpretation.

Honestly, I wish they had gone for the crazy curly-haired Mirage April.

Now that fro would have been novel!

The first colorization of April's Mirage jumpsuit was done for the 3rd printing of TMNT #2 in 1985. The First Graphics TPB came out in late 1986, so it wasn't too long after the original release either.

I did not realize the April variants never got made. Glad I ordered the blue, ha.

It's a weird choice on NECA's part making the blue April the SDCC exclusive and the yellow and green the retail version.

Of course it's preferred in hindsight with what happened with wave 2, the pictures of both yellow and green April looked really off by the color choice. Wonder what would have happened of NECA used the basic Foot Ninja to test the waters for wave 2 rather then April.

Given the high praise Neca's earned with Mirage and Barron/Henson, I wonder if they'll ever go after FW? A cartoon accurate April/Splinter/Shredder would be, swell.

I think the Toon Turtles will be the 2017 SDCC exclusive. Based on the custom paint jobs on this site, the video game Turtles in Toon colors is just meant to be.

I kinda hope they stick with the comic theme. I'm kinda hoping for a well articulated Splinter. He is really the only main character from Issue #1 missing at this point.

The Purple Dragon · 09-15-2016, 04:26 PM

Me as well a splinter.casey Jones,triceraton, fugitoid are on my wish list.baxter,ratking,renet.and karai and i can die as a happy man

*The Fifth Turtle* · 09-15-2016, 05:32 PM

^^^^The vaccuum metal Fugitoid works pretty well with the NECA set IMO.

Timmetry · 09-15-2016, 06:07 PM

I'm really hoping for a Casey. I figure the body from a foot could be easily reused with some minor retooling. I'd love a Splinter and a Leatherhead. A Triceraton box set would be amazing as well. Casey would be the most likely, but with these recent box sets selling so well, maybe they'll reconsider and continue the line. A collectors club like Matty Collector would be amazing.

Isn't $2000 a bit much?
