New characters like Jagwar and Dreadmon are really exciting even though i don't know who they are but yeah, having to buy the 4 turtles all over again is a little much.

I can't believe these are actually being made. The kid in me is very surprised but very happy. This is a line I've wanted forever. But I have to say in seeing the first sculpts, I also wonder if they would consider doing a Chris Allan version of these figures in the future.

But overall I am super happy that this is a thing now and I will be picking up most of these I would assume. This is going to be fun.

I'll be VERY happy with the figure as is, but wouldn't mind at all if it were revised to look more like your edit. Last edited by Otter; 02-22-2022 at 05:37 AM. |

But then I suppose the body-type would be up for debate as well. But let's face it - aside from a bit of "gumby bodies" in the Archie books, a general animated aesthetic would do it. It's really going to be those head sculpts that make or break this. I'm with you guys on that as well. But again the real solution is one body and two head sculpts. God this whole thing makes me want to pour over my Archie collection again for the first time in years. |

I know nothing about the Archie comic but that Slash will be mine. I might grab the Ray as well, though at $38 apiece these singles are getting a bit silly.
Congrats to all of you who had been begging for this for years. And congrats to my wallet for being able to take a big ol sigh of relief. Toon is winding down and this and Mirage seem to be the direction NECA is headed for a bit. I'm pumped to be able to stop bleeding money! |

I really hope they can translate the artwork of Ultra Games TMNT and TMNT III: The Manhattan Project into toy form (including the wicked looking Triceratons!). I prefer them over the bobble head look.

I have to Ask with the toon line getting the most harcore relased,how maney of you will just buy the essential if its eny left and switch to archie?
Also i belive maney did not like the two tone color on the toon line and did not collect the line but will jump on this because its one color with some few line work like the mirage series. I guess it will fit more In with other collections like the batman animated AS well that will Get more people to collect them. |

I don't think the two color tone was much of an issue for the Toon line unless someone really despises it for reasons that don't altogether make rational sense or have an OCD'ish itch about it. I think the main issue was with the pixelation in the toon line as it often obscures the sculpts (duzmachines did a fantastic repaint of Pirate B&R and bringing out all the details of sculpt). However, having said this, the ink lines and overall brush strokes have been becoming more and more refined with time (especially in these new comic book inspired figures).

I've been noticing that toys have been getting more expensive from everyone. NECA, Super7, Hasbro, even Playmates! It's gotten pretty ridiculous.
