For folks in the US, it’s only ~$2.97 to ship, which is much more reasonable. And Rocksteady looks so much better with the helmet!
Exactly, Paying more for a helmet than the figure. Is isn't right. Still Neca should have included this imo. Getting tired of this. I don't even gonna negotiate anymore for a stupid piece of plastic.

Like always you guys in the USA have everything, it isn't fair...

this sense of entitlement is a bad look on you, man.

you can't compare value evenly between a single hand-made accessory and toys that are mass produced in factories. and are you calling his work a stupid piece of plastic? if you don't want it for that price, don't buy it and move on.

and if you want cool **** in the netherlands, have some dutch folk invent the next great franchise and have them produce their own merchandise for it too.

Nobody asked you to become a collector of foreign properties, man. That's how it is. I love a bunch of Japanese series' & its a bitch to get merch, but I get it. Sure, TMNT is more world renowned than most things, but still.

You guys are missing the point. But I'm not going in discussion for the sake of this thread.

If you've got access to a 3d printer you could probably source the 3d model or create one yourself and have Shapeways print it. It's not an overly complicated shape, I'm sure with a little perseverance you could work something out that you'd be pleased with. Start with a sphere, a cube, and a couple cones and go from there. If I can ever find this figure I'll probably go that route myself.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Neca eventually release a different variation with the helmet.

I’m guessing NECA didn’t include Rocksteady’s helmet because he only uses it on season 1 first 5 epsiodes, along with with the camo pants and more bullets on the belt. Season 2 and on Rocksteady looks a bit different (no helmet, plain khaki pants, less bullets) which is how the NECA figure looks. Bebop only his ponytail color changed after season 1.

I'd like to see Bebop and Rocksteady re-released as pirates in the Turtles in Time figure line.

Ah, I called it didn't I?! It was better to have them together in the first place!

So different figures we have Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello, April, Casey Jones, Shredder, Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady, Leatherhead, Slash, Metalhead, and Alpha-1?

We need a Rat King!

-facepalms- that entire wave 3 is a must-have wave. God I remember the manhunt that was on for the original Slash figure when I was a kid. It was THE toy at the time. It was such a big deal for a character that had little presence on the show.

That NECA Slash is the toy you always wanted for that character.... Actually all of the NECA toys in this line are that. -shrugs-

Totally. The Neca TMNT figures all come with that feeling. I went to bed dreaming of figures like these, as a wee child. They're cool to have now, but they sort of make me feel old in a unique way.

Slash is one of my favorite villains/antihero is the whole franchise, but as much as I enjoy Slash's three appearances I love his look outside the '87 cartoon more. The black bandanna over the metal visor, fanged teeth over buck teeth. This is coming form an OT fanboy. I don't know if it possible but perhaps we could get what we were denied as children with The Punk Frogs. One Punk Frog done right, one done wrong, and two never made.

Hold up, its stating that Shredder and Krang are due the last day of May not the last day of August. Meanwhile Slash and Leatherhead are not due out until August 30th. What happened to the February 28th date? Is it more Bebop and Rocksteady and the giant Metalhead?
