I kinda have this perverse hope that they do a Foot Soldier 4-pack for a future exclusive. I'd buy a few more!

I'm hoping this sold well enough that maybe we could see a set of "mature" Mirage turtles (Issues 5-11 style), to refresh the heroes and perhaps revitalize NECA's license.

I've also got hope for Splinter and Casey before Neca gives up completely.
Fugitoid and some Triceratons would be absolutely amazing!

*VaughnMichael* · 10-17-2016, 06:10 PM

I got my 2 sets today!
Like many others my Shredders claws are warped.

I love the sets otherwise though!

*snake* · 10-17-2016, 06:17 PM

Got mine in. Very nice figures. The claws of Shredder's left arm are warped and the whole set feels very stiff, almost like I'm going to break the plastic if I'm not extra careful. Shredder is the exception and feels very gunmy.

Overall I'm happy, but those flaws are annoying

I like the way you think!!

I'd buy a set of Foot, Casey, Splinter, Fugitoid, Some Triceratons and maybe a box set of Utroms in Android bodies...

*snake* · 10-17-2016, 06:28 PM

All I want is a scale NECA Triceraton. Just imagining that makes me drool.

*Allio* · 10-17-2016, 06:32 PM

oh well, wish they were in black and white.

Mine is the opposite-- almost a little on the loose side.

Great set, though! I moved the Foot Elite's cape over to Shredder. I'm a Barron purist and always thought it was a cool look. Excuse the quickie iphone shot.

Try running a hot blow dryer on his claws and they should straighten right out on their own.

Here is a video review of these figures.

Mine finally are scheduled to arrive tomorrow, pretty dang excited.

Darxide · 10-17-2016, 10:26 PM

So one of the sets I ordered came in today and it was absolutely SMASHED! I was pretty upset considering how much I paid and the fact that I had just got home from a weekend vacation in Lake George.

So here's what it looked like...

And then I opened the flap and I was even more upset...

Well, I came to an agreement with the seller and I figured I'd use this opportunity to check something out...

What exactly is behind that mask???

That's completely absurd how damaged everything was! I'm sorry to hear/see that man. Very interesting that there is a face behind the mask. Perhaps you revealed what Randy is planning next? A movie Shredder with a romovable mask?? "His face...."

Yeah, I'm still pretty bummed about it. I overpaid by a lot in the first place (ordered it before NYCC) so the refund I got still wasn't as much as would have liked but I have 2 sets now that even out to $90 a set. Luckily the arm of the foot just came off and didn't break so a little heat and it popped back on and the shoulder armor will glue back on. The box on the other hand....useless.

I'm hoping so.

*Coro* · 10-17-2016, 11:10 PM

Holy crap thats terrible!

Mother of PEARL! I would be super pissed.

*go_ninja84* · 10-18-2016, 02:17 AM

i blame the shipping company for that one hopefully the seller will remedy the situation

hope mine doesn't come like that

darthwahl56 · 10-18-2016, 02:24 AM

I only wish these sets weren't exclusives then maybe I could pay a reasonable price.

The head is easily removable too, only issue is that you can easily see that Shredder lacks ears

Ouch! My condolences - that’s rough.

Rat_King · 10-18-2016, 10:43 AM

I'm really hoping for a "big guy" two pack. Maybe a Triceraton and Leatherhead? I would certainly hope they continue to do them in scale if they do.

I'm thinking another logical four pack would be Splinter, Casey, plain clothes April, and maybe Fugitoid. The only issue here is the turtles and Foot Clan allowed them to re-use a lot of molds for each character where these characters would all be one-offs.

drewizzle88 · 10-18-2016, 10:49 AM

Just got home with my set. Thankfully my box arrived in excellent condition. Maybe it was partially saved since I picked it up from UPS. My only complaint is like everyone else, Shredders blades are smashed.

I love these figures, they definitely didn't disappoint.
