Isn't Judith Hoag overseeing this? Doesn't she have the final say?
No, normally just the likeness rights the actor may sign off on, not the costumes/clothing.

Example, they may sign off on the head but neca could then make her in literally every single outfit change she had because they got her likenss rights for the movie, not a specific look.

Yeah, they likely do have final sign off approval, or at least their agent does.

As someone who puts articulation above anything else on an action figure, those knees on April are a f*cking abomination. There's no reason a single swivel/hinge wouldn't have sufficed and it would have looked a hell of a lot better.

The re-release won't have those knees. Calling it now.

I think it's the left eye really throwing it for me, as he looks fine if I cover up the left side of his face. Generally, I think the iris/pupils are too small on the paint app on both sides, but if both eyes came out like the right, I'd be satisfied.

Anyone got experience with NECA Store customer service? An ETA on a query reply?

I need to update my address on a pre-order. Cannot see a way to do it myself ????

Hoping it doesn't turn into a massive polava!

I think it was during the Ace Duck pre-order I put three in my cart. The order was auto-changed to qty 2, but I got charged for three.

I emailed NECA customer service. They never replied, but a few days after my email the charge was corrected by them as a "refund".

So for what it's worth, I'd say that was fine. They solved the problem and it wasn't a problem that required more talk. So email them. It should be fine.

I used their online form - is that what you used? If you have the customer services email address, could you share it?

Randy is starting to make it sound like re-sculpts of the Mirage line TMNT are happening.

What final look do you think they will go with? Even Eastman's style evolves throughout time.

Also, who do you think they will partner with this time? Gamestop?

I saw something Randy posted a while back to which he said that Mirage would be at specialty shops such as BBTS ect. Mirage and the Arcade line would be mingled, as in, taking turns with releases. Apologies, I cannot recall where it was I read that but I believe it was twitter.

I emailed "sales@necaonline.com", which is an address I got from one of the "Support" or "About Us" pages on their store website.

Hope that helps, brother.

Finally getting an email from Neca saying they're about ready to ship out the 90's accessory pack. I hope it's soon because I can't wait to break my turtles neck joints when swapping them out for these newer ones lol.

Interesting. How? I was lucky to be passed on a hint about the pre-order on the 1st day of this pre-order week and I could not see any listing for the signature edition. All I saw was the information about the signature edition from Judith Hoag in her recently released videos.

I just wish NECA would fix the knees in general instead of relying on fans to cover the ugly part with the not-so-widely-available raincoat.

Considering how high asking prices for Signature Edition Ultimate April are right now, I have a feeling we'll see NECA release a 7" Scale Accessory Set Vol. 2 that includes a yellow raincoat.

Also, as of 45 minutes ago today, April was supposed to have been "off the market" on NECAStore, but there's still a pre-order page up!

If they re-release the raincoat, it will be with her correct attire. The raincoat technically is not correct with the current dress attire she is in now.

I definitely expect more Judith-April releases in the future.

I got the shipping notification for my accessories pack today, so you're likely to receive one soon if you ordered it.
