I think I found my breaking point.

Up until now, I have every TMNT Ultimate (and then some).

Same. I will not be picking up that god awful van repaint or the 2k3 wave. I will probably pick up GITD Scumbug & Pizza Mikey though because I am a sucker.

This is a bit curious.

The Super7 Repainted Chef Mikey Party Wagon does justify the purchase of Chef Mikey and vice versa, even though it is non-essential.

It also offers enough differentiation from the NECA Turtle Van to make it stand out. Not to mention that the pizza tires finally makes sense.

Having said this, why not just make it a Pizza Thrower?

GIT Scumbug, I will purchase for sure as I am building a shelf of GIT Turtle products and will get some dedicated USB powered blacklights to make it all worth my time.

Because the molds/tooling are already done on the Party Wagon - Super7 loves repaints/recolor mashups to get more out of every mold. The Pizza Wagon as a repaint is no different from the GitD variants or even the original four turtles really.

Not gonna lie, if next they reveal a Channel 6 Newsvan variant of the wagon, I'm in trouble.

That makes sense.

Regarding S7, vehicles, generally, it's a good idea to wait a few years, as items such as the Thundertank and Party Wagon tend to not sell out and are often discounted by a modest amount. Also, by waiting, there's also the possibility of something like the Channel 6 Newsvan ("News Wagon" if they use this mold) to be announced.

However, sometimes, the notion and value of waiting is unclear. For example, I purchased the Cat's Lair from S7 during the kickstarter as I wasn't sure if it would appear on other outlets in the future. And, Copper Kid's space racer sold out on BBTS, probably due to low stock (yet, Mandora's electro charger, which should in theory be more popular, is still available).

I can't tell from the pic if April's skin will end up looking all glazed.

At least the e-mail does specify that "some items in your order are on the way", so I guess Karai's just gonna ship later for me or something.
My order got updated - the whole wave is listed as fulfilled (even my canceled Rat King), so I'm guessing there was some manual updating needed.

My order arrives on Tuesday.

It's weird there aren't any of the new Casey Jones on ebay - I'm curious what packaging he has.

All my stuff came in today, and I can tell you that Casey Jones has different packaging from the others in this wave. His is black and has the Mirage-style logo. Also... I wanna mention how great Ninja April's face is! Maaaaan, now I really wish she had come with an extra head that didn't have anything on it, since it would have been so good to have a head with THIS face to use on their previous April. Oh, well.

It's most likely intentional as they can still give us an April with this face sans mask in the future as:

1) Orange pockets blue stripe variant
2) Green jumpsuit April ("news van" variant)

Kind of disagree with this video. I think April looks super wax figure-looking.

Same. They do look waxy but I would say the waxiness, this time around, doesn't obliterate or take away from the features and overall contours within the head sculpt. It just blends better, perhaps there's a thin layer of paint on it as opposed to how they left it more or less unpainted last time.

I also don't see what he means by the main head being 'a tad derpy'. It's slightly doe-eyed, but that's not derp by any definition.

Overall, these head sculpts are pretty high-quality, April and Karai, both.

I've noticed that Karai cannot double up as a Mirage-style Foot Soldier since the neck (with underlying skin tones) shows through.

Mirage Casey looks really good in the video (weird waist aside), also really like the Mirage branding packaging.

April and Karai both look like they'll be victim of thin plastic - but I bet under regular light, they'll look fine.

Huh, mine doesn't even have that. My Ninja April's eyes look just fine and not like the ones on the Ninja April in that video. But them's the breaks with mass production, I guess. This is generally why I do prefer finding figures in person rather than getting them online, but that's hardly an option with these, of course.
