I think we can remove "allegedly" if it's from Kevin's official website.

I happen to be in San Diego this weekend (what a shame, if only a week later and planned earlier I'd have gotten SDCC off the bucket list) and found Chote in a Target today. Archie Ace too - passed on that guy but Chote is mine at last, with no shipping!

I'll echo Complete Carnage and Radical (#1 wants), though I want Radical's #27 look, rather than her Tales appearance.

Also keen on Nobody and Farley Turtles (and would totally buy a Christmas Mikey)... but would add:
- Zulli Turtles from Soul's Winter (even if it was just one)
- River "creature" from Sons of the Silent Age
- Sakai Leo (with red mask)
- and a head-pack with alternate expressions (most of the ones we have so far are so serious.

Hi all

Whether or not these will ever get produced I don’t know, but my [top] personal choices to add to the Mirage line would be:

Jack Marlin
Robot Baxter [Vol 2]
Bloodsucker [I know this is unlikely as already discussed in this thread]
Purple Dragon
Oroku Nagi
Radical
Jhanna
Complete Carnage
Hamato Yoshi
Terrorpin [Vol 2]
Nobody
Prof Honeycutt
Shark Shredder
Mutated Raph [Vol 4]
Rat King [City at War]
Gosei Hattori
Rihana [Vol 2]
Blanque
Zanramon
Lord Simultaneous
Dooney Turtles based on comic

I could list further characters I’d like to see, but they could be considered even more obscure, and therefore, unlikely. Whereas I think those above are within the realms of possibility.

It depends how exhaustive NECA wants to be… I mean, I never expected Kevin Eastman or Jack Kirby to be added into these lines, so I’m not ruling anything out.

[ToTheNines]

Rat King came with an alternate head that was CaW style.

Actually, I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet. Pretty much the last of the "essential" characters Neca hasn't gotten to.

Thanks to my relentless hounding we finally are seeing image/Urban Legends figures.

Where do you see that?

[Chaotix12345]

Gallery featuring Image Turtles, Nobody, and more!

[Andrew NDB]

Wow... they are! That's fantastic.

[Mr. Entertainment]

Karai looks fantastic! Just like on the cover of #56. The Image Turtles were a nice surprise. Maybe this doesn't quench my fantasy of seeing characters like Pimiko, Go-Komodo, King Komodo, or Antoine Puzorelli as figures.

Although, still no single Purple Dragon figures - a bit disappointing.

[Andrew NDB]

These are glorious. They really listened to what fans wanted. And it's even the slightly updated version of Cyborg Donatello, too. Wonderful!













And a GARFIELD Ninja Turtle? What?! I've got to have it.

* I love that Raphael has a switchable scarred face head.

* A hockey mask head would have been nice, too.

* Cyborg Don HAS to have a switchable cannon arm, right?

* Karai needs a sword.

* I'd also swap Raphael's coloring around... red for his tunic/pants, purple for his cape.

* Not complaining, but that Casey also looks like it's Fosco's Casey but strongly by way of Eastman -- Fosco always drew him with the thick, sweeping slicked back hair. Maybe this is somewhat like a "Bodycount Casey"? That's where that mask originated from, anyway.

* I'd have probably kept Nobody ALL black, no?

* I'd go a bit more towards blue/gray coloring for Karai's garb (still a BIT purple, but not so overpowering) but this is GREAT to see.

* Surely it just won't be ONLY Cyborg Don and Shredder Raph, right? If they're doing them, we'd at LEAST get Leonardo with his sword arm, no? And Bat Splinter seems a no-brainer if they're doing all that.

[Otter]

Great to see Nobody. Radical and Complete Carnage next year, I guess.

Not much else for me... which is fine.

[IMJ]

The 2012 stuff looks cool - and that building rooftop dio? Man that would be a cool piece on it's own merits...

[ToTheNines]

The Image stuff almost knocked the wind out of me, sweet Jesus!

Can’t wait for that Karai either.

[RaphaelinSTL]

Wow, I adore that Raphael as Shredder figure. I might have to get that.

I think NECA are basing it off his first cover appearance.

[ToTheNines]

Andrew’s keen eye was correct, NECA is calling him “Bodycount Casey”. But he’ll fit very nicely on my Volume 3 shelf.

Karai is “Karai Mercenary”.

[DonnieLaForge]

Went to order Karai. Just discovered that as of today 15000 of my reward points expired. Had no idea they had an expiration date on them. Still didn't really want any of the rewards though..

[Andrew NDB]

Hey, to anyone who was there... do ALL of the labels say they're coming "Q4 2025"? Most of the images are cut off so you can't see. Also, is Raphael's cape made of rubbery stuff or cloth, like Renet's? I hope it's like a thin rubbery material.

Ehh.... why would they call her that? She's the opposite of that there, or anywhere else. She would be the one HIRING the mercenaries, not that she would. Should just be "Karai" or "Classic Karai."
