You know, you'd think after all this time there would actually be bobbleheads already out there...i think it'd be cool as well...

Glad it was rejected, but its better than anything that's come out in 10 years.

NECA will get it right. They just need a couple tries to get warmed up. And the license holders wont let them put out sub par product. the powers that be know that this is most likely the only chance they will get to put out quality specialty market figures, so they're not going to settle for anything less than what the fans want.

Good news so far. I better get a comic accurate Rat King in this fun somewhere cause if I do I'll be creaming my pants.

However, if they later come out with Shredder, and he's the same height as the guys, then there'll be a problem.

So I'm assuming you're hoping that NECA plans ahead and makes sure all the figures are scaled well as they come out? You're confusing me with your fancy figure talk.

They made the Gremlins Figures the right size if ya have um' measure Stripe & Gizmo.

Has anyone noticed that mirage comic pic ectocooler put up (the bottom one)? Look how huge raphs foot/ankle is! That would be totally awsome to have as an action figure...

*odupianist* · 09-17-2007, 10:49 AM

Hell, I like the statues that Mirage had from Vol 1 #1. I think the RtNY style would be good as well, or even maybe CaW, or am I goign to get lynched for saying that?

turkishproverb · 09-17-2007, 01:01 PM

any o them would be cool in their own way.

I just want a *%@& movie shredder...

*Roseangelo* · 09-19-2007, 06:22 PM

I'm surprised no one posted this yet.

Here's Murphy's update from today:

As yet I'm unable to tell you too much about NECA's plans for the TMNT but here's the little I'm allowed to share:

1. The first wave of 6 figures will be out in Spring 08; the second 6 in Fall 08.

2. Current/initial plans/waves only include figures based on characters from the early Mirage comics.

3. The first wave will consist of the 4 Turtles, a Foot Soldier and, and... sorry, can't tell you.

Him and Splinter I would imagine as a minimum...

Well, there's only one spot not spoken for, so it can't be both. My guess is Shredder in series 1 and Splinter in series 2.

I'm gonna go with April in the first. They need some big guns for the second series.

*VaughnMichael* · 09-19-2007, 08:19 PM

I haven't been around all day so thanks for keeping it in the same thread Rose!
I was at the hospital and will be going back again tommrow for tests so wish me luck that I figure out what the hell is wrong with my stomach!
This is awsome new btw I do hope it's Splinter or Shredder.
I have started to wonder though what April O' Neil will look like.

**Jester** · 09-19-2007, 10:56 PM

My question is who is going to buy the 4 turtles and then customize them with color coded bandanas?

*CyberCubed* · 09-19-2007, 11:56 PM

I wonder if Playmates will start to feel bitter if the NECA line starts selling really well. I know people would like to see Playmates start getting themselves in gear, but since Playmates basically are 1/3 of the current cartoon, I'd hope they don't call it quits. I still hope the show goes on for a few more seasons yet at least.

Well believe me, that thought had crossed my mind. But if this is the case, then why all the secrecy? Does he just like messing with us?

hey thanks so much!

I got a movie leo from the box set with the genral today I'll sell him to ya same price as mike his eyes are painted on perfectly unlike most of them with wonky eyes. Let me know if you're interested.

CudleyCowlick · 09-20-2007, 05:20 PM

I'm just so glad that a company like NECA is taking a crack at the Turtles. Everything they do is just so sweet, look at their Pirates of the Carribean figures.

No matter what, I'm sure that these figures will be unlike anything Playmates has ever been able to deliver. I'll keep buying Playmates because TMNT toys are like crack to me but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna grumble about the quality. If Playmates wants to step up sales, they need to start making better toys. Period.

I plan on buying these things by the case. How could I not?
