I know I am rehasing a bit, but man if they could pull off a sculpt in the style with the beak lines that would be incredible.... |

NECA should make ultimate turtles with sculpts in the style of the miniseries turtles, syndicated series turtles, and both versions of the CBS SATAM show turtles.

I don't think they failed that by any means at all whatsoever. But I do think that universal look would've gone better simply by packing in some "animated expression heads" along with what is basically the first wave's "Playmates toys expression heads". But with that said, the current "Playmates toys expressions" would've gone over better with highlights from the art direction of the mini-series that introduced the show. |

I have a Shredder from the Krang/Shredder 2 pack that has a similar issue, two right shins. Great job, NECA!

It seems like a lazy effort for NECA to build the Target Exclusive 2-Pack toyline (I refuse to call it the cartoon line) from The Arcade Game toyline. Fred Wolf fans deserve better than repaints of figures that NECA TMNT collectors already have. I don’t like the S.H. Figuarts turtles either, but that’s a whole different story. The undercover turtles are an improvement from their previous offerings. Now NECA needs to redo Shredder and Bebop. The 2019 Shredder looks too much like the Turtles in Time Shredder from last year and the 2019 Bebop is far off from the model of the character used for the miniseries, syndicated series, and CBS SATAM show. A 4-pack with a new Shredder, Krang, Bebop, and Rocksteady would be the ultimate keepsake for shellheads and people who grew up with the classic cartoons, but I have a feeling that NECA will only be producing new characters from here on out.

Does anybody know if the heads pop off these figures like regular NECA figures? I've been tempted to try but I don't wanna break 'em.....

There's nothing wrong with the Shredder or Bebop. Sure, the S.H.Figuarts Shredder (the first unveiling when the helmet sat comfy) has more fidelity to the show, but the NECA Shredder is nothing to scoff at. With the exception of some QC issues, NECA has created the definitive FW TMNT line. Almost all of the 40+ figures are spot on. There's a few exceptions, of course. The turtles (as opposed to the punk frogs) are not toon accurate (this will change with the impending launch of the turtles-in-disguise 4 pack, probably a NECA store release) and ...yeah, the April O' Neil (I wouldn't be surprised if a deluxe April is released in 2022 with swappable cat/fish/insect parts and a toon accurate mug) is pretty bad (very strange considering that they've had a significant heads-up from user feedback to fix things). Slash should be the size of Metal Head. The Triceraton tails should not have spikes. Aside from a few nitpicks, the NECA TMNT line is a dream line for fans. |
