I have a question. I seem to remember reading somewhere that Rocksteady and Bebop were going to be rereleased with the old proper logo on the box. Anyone know anything about that?

Well just because some members have issues with it doesn't mean that everyone has to hate it. Everyone has different tastes.

I’m personally head over heels with everything NECA is doing with toon turtles. I love April (yes, that exact April), Casey, slash, leatherhead, Splinter, Baxter, Triceratron, and Krang Android Body. Amazing toys, and I’m willing to drive for hours to get them.

As for the head thing, Mattel DID release accessory packs for MOTUC that included some alt heads. NECA could go that route, though I think I would maybe be more inclined to just buy the figures again. They'd probably stretch the four heads across two packs and I have very little use for more weapons and such. And really, this is NECA we're talking about here. They're absolutely going to triple/quadruple/whatever-dip on those bodies and release them again with new heads. It makes sense from a business standpoint and it also keeps turtles on the shelves. I think the best scenario we can hope for is that they include trenchcoats and hats with the new releases. That way they're new enough to warrant a purchase but they can also serve the purpose of being the classic toon turtle that we don't have yet. |

Fair enough, and you're right. But the post and the poster seemingly came out of nowhere and almost intentionally against the grain. But you're right.... I don't even really care to be honest. Sometimes this place cultivates a knee-jerk reaction. LOL!

That place is full of hate, sorry Dark Side! Anyways when I'm not on the TF boards I do lurk here and on the Toyark site. To be fair I've seen some fans of NECA praise their absolute **** because in their eyes NECA could do no wrong. |

Neca just release 2 accessory packs each with 4 goofy show accurate heads. One pack for the first generation with the darker skin and one pack for the second generation with the lighter skin. Any addition with small figures like Shredder fly and stuff is an nice bonus. Problem solved. |

Just rollin' with the conversation as someone else was having it, brother. That aside, it would be cool to have some head's included as an accessory pack with pizzas and stuff like that.
You seem pretty clear on the idea! Send NECA a message on behalf of the fans and let's get this going! |

If anyone has skinny legs it’s NECA toon Shredder! The arms also, since those arms and legs were originally for comics Shredder who is a bit more slim, making his upper body buff for toon Shredder while using the same skinny arms and legs from comics Shredder makes him look like the skip legs day guy. It’s really a shame that they went the lazy route with toon Shredder being the main villain, the armor looks totally wrong, the loin cloth painted differently to look like pants, and even the head looks too small and out of proportion compared to other figures (i.e. Bebop’s fist is almost the size of Shredder’s head). If you think April’s head looks too big, it will probably make Shredder’s head look even smaller and out of proportion.
The re-use of parts on Shredder is what’s killing this line for me, because he’s the main villain of the series but they did not make him cartoon accurate! All the other figures look better, even Foot Soldier and Slash who also re-use parts I could overlook that since they still have the correct armor and elements from the show although Foot Soldier’s belt is a bit too wide, but I feel they really dropped the ball on Shredder, since he’s the main villain, they should have put more effort into it like the turtles and made him perfect, all these years we still don’t have a 1987 cartoon accurate Shredder figure. I suspect it was rushed for SDCC 2017. Funny how they also used those same arms for their new video game Shredder and painted the wrist wraps flesh color and added some straps that the cartoon version should of had. Those arms and legs they keep re-using on Shredder are proportionate to the NECA comics turtles since that’s what they were originally intended for, they are shorter than the toon turtles, so he even looks kinda small next to the toon turtles. Any chance NECA would make another toon Shredder at some point that is screen accurate?

i agree. Quote:
ha. it IS the best shredder figure ever made, but only because all the others are total garbage (super shredder from the 90s line was great though). it could have been so much better, that's all. i feel like the level of quality from neca tmnt (non-movie) dropped significantly after the line's hiatus after the 2008 turtles. the 2008 turtles were incredible – basically perfect. the shredder we got for that line that eventually came out had thick lines and a rushed paint job in comparison. it almost feels like it doesn't belong with the turtles that came years before it. that, combined with the overly reused parts, and the line has really taken a hit in quality overall. don't get me wrong, i'm so excited for this line and love it. but, thinking about how it could have been if it was produced with the standards of the 2008 turtles...it could have been so much better even. |

Ehm I think that honor goes to 1/4 1990 Shredder. About cartoon Shredder Neca: he could be more buffed and a little bit taller, but overall I'm happy with it and it represents FW Shredder well. |

Is Shredder's shoulder blade plate supposed to look worn, slightly chipped? I got the two pack in the mail from Target and it caught my eye.

I was getting upset. I thought it go damaged in transit somehow. Is it supposed to imply "battle damage"?
