I think he has a thigh swivel. If I remember right it took some work to get it working on mine. But that would let you point the knees out

Feels like NECA has pulled back on their arcade line which is unfortunate considering it's the only series you can get from any retailer easily and it's what brought them to the TMNT dance.

Which also sort of indicates that the sales must not be there. NECA probably created their own competition with the more prolific Fred Wolf line.

Think I heard a while back they were going to switch between arcade and comic figures.

I don't remember if it was Randy or Trevor, but one of them definitely indicated they'd be taking a break from arcade figures and focusing on the Mirage line for specialty shops.

You definitely got a point there. Victim of success I guess.

That's a bummer to hear tbh. I was really looking forward to the arcade Granitor & General Traag set as those colors really popped and the alternate head sculpts looked on-model. Oh well. I feel like Randy has been really showing his hand more than usual with how he's been handling the line. I get the arcade line was meant as a half-way attempt to tap into the market without getting into trouble with the license holder, but to totally abandon it now that they're able to do whatever is really disheartening to see. At least go back to exclusive preorders if they're afraid of low sales. I dunno, seems really lazy.

TMNT Tournament Fighters is a good place to resume the arcade line.

The Last Ronin is a good place to resume the comic book line.

I'm honestly more hoping for a civvies version with the frizzy hair, myself. Seems like it'd represent how April more commonly looked in the comics.
