Will there be other characters, or is this the only one?

Here it is embeded.

One more set, shuffling the line-up and you could get a team of Frankenstein Turtles. Or Dracula Turtles.

They said it's a full line

italianice388 · 10-19-2021, 06:50 PM

wow, always loved the original playmates tmnt x universal line. for some reason, though, the design here isn't thrilling me. i'll pass, personally.

i hope super 7 still gets to do the original playmates designs. i imagine this is the final nail in the coffin of their 'gentleman's agreement' with neca.

*oldmanwinters* · 10-19-2021, 06:51 PM

I've very impressed with both the figure and the commercial! Kudos to DGDX Animation!

So Playmates has had two eras of "Monster Turtles" (only the first being officially licensed) and now NECA gives us their spin. Playmates swapped the Turtle/Monster pairings for their classic/Nick toon lines so I'm wondering if NECA will duplicate any of the pre-existing pairings or once again mix everything up.

Playmates/Universal Classic
Leo: Wolfman/Creature from the Black Lagoon
Raph: Mummy/The Metaluna Mutant
Mikey: Frankenstein Monster/Invisible Man
Don: Dracula
April: The Bride

Playmates Nick 2k12
Leo: Mummy/Hunter
Raph: Vampire/Hunter
Mikey: Werewolf
Don: Frankenstein's Monster

NECA/Universal
Leo: ???
Raph: Frankenstein's Monster
Mikey: ???
Don: ???
???: ???

I like this but would also really like to see Super7 do the monster turtles. Can we get a glow-in-the-dark Mummy Raph please? I don't know if they will really care about this. It definitely is not the toy we grew up with. So not really what they are going for.

I wouldn't count on it. Not unless Super 7 is also willing to pay for the licensing rights to Universal. NECA was already doing licenses with Nickelodeon for the Turtles and Universal for the monsters, so I have to imagine it was far easier to then negotiate the cross over as well.

Of course, Super 7 is doing so many other lines that adding a series of Universal Monsters wouldn't be surprising in the least.

I'll probably be sold on one of these, but it's not this one.

I loved the werewolf Leonardo back in the day. If they can nail that or a vampire one, I'll probably get it.

Found 2 of the Raph Frankenstein at Walmart in Milwaukee Wisconsin. If you’re looking for this, check your Walmarts

*oldmanwinters* · 03-08-2022, 02:55 PM

There she be!

Well... almost.

EddieNES · 03-08-2022, 04:04 PM

I have no desire to get April.

So grab them while you can guys, every figure I pass on sells out and the price skyrockets on second market.

It’s a gift.

Otter · 03-08-2022, 04:37 PM

I ultimately passed on Raph and Leo, but I couldn't pass on Mikey. April is tempting, knowing it's based on Judith Hoag's likeness.
