I would think that Tempestra is at least announced at some point this year.

I do plan on displaying all of them together in my collection.

Regardless of what anyone thinks about Temprestra and her backstory, she does have a very cool character design, one that would translate exceedingly well into toy form. She almost looks like a Voltron or Castlevania character.

Cool. Here's hoping for a reporter and some bugs soon.

Just received my channel 6 and TID sets from NECA. The TID set doesn't have the shiny plastic paint job they had when originally released. Looks so much better.

I'm game for an assist. I need the Channel Six set and Slash and Leatherhead. I have been to my only local Target store 3 times this week with no luck. Only the one Casey Jones mask replica.

Scroll down for a picture of TID Mikey with a matte head: http://thefwoosh.com/forum/viewtopic...835&start=7710

The TID set with matte heads are hitting Targets now.

I don’t understand how such an experienced company doesn’t realize on the first go around that matte paint and seamless knee-joints look better.

I think they do know and put out an inferior product on purpose because they know their fan base consists of a lot of obsessive and compulsive people who will double-dip.

Initially i thought it was done on purpose to differentiate it from wave1 turtles. Didn't know it was a mistake. They made shiny toys 1 time and already you're complaining? You should look at how many Super7 toys are shiny.

No. Like I said, the shiny paint jobs, the awful looking joints, the weird cracks in the turtles in disguise heads, that are certain to disappear down the line.

I wouldn't make an accusation like that based on one incident, which is why I gave more than one example in my post. The fact is, a company like Neca knows better than to make mistakes like this.

It's not about Super7, right? I'm talking about Neca.

When I was younger, I used to love figures with some sheen (the wacky action turtles had them), for the same reason I liked GITD, Vac Metal/Chrome, color change. Nowadays, not so much. The matte finish looks more sophisticated. Having said this, when you have 40+ figures sitting around on that diorama, it's hardly noticeable.

This is still one thing about these figures that not only immensely bothers me, but that I can't figure out why it didn't get fixed up. Covering them up wouldn't hinder any kind of swapability or articulation, as far as I'm aware, yet they still left them like that.
