Well, pending a screencap fake, I guess it has confirmation now:

Well there you go...I don't mind the knee change, it's better

Otter · 10-11-2021, 03:09 PM

I wonder if Zavvi will be getting this version or the older version.

King Kahn · 10-11-2021, 07:58 PM

Of course she gets new fixed knees, just like casey has new elbows and unmasked head.

I gotta learn to never buy the first release of man ultimate neca figures. They always do this lol

This! Also very unhappy with Q&A being put on the customer for a large part, sitting here with the ugly-knees-April.

At least it's only one. I've got two, and (potentially) a third on the way.

If this is real then the signature edition better come with these improved (but still quite ugly) knees. I'm not holding my breath though, it would not be unlike NECA to screw over all of their customers, even the ones that already paid a dumb premium.

NECA said everything that was ordered through their site will get the **** knees including the signature. I'm still waiting for both

If that's true then this is the last movie line figure I'm getting. First Casey, then Danny, now this. I get it, this has been NECA's MO for years now, and I should have known better. That doesn't mean it still doesn't feel like a slap in the face every time they put out a superior version of a figure I already bought. I can't wait to be done with the toon line so I can finally quit NECA.

inaheap · 10-12-2021, 12:48 PM

I don't mind a company coming along a few years later and giving an older figure updated articulation and/or details. But updating a figure a lot of people haven't even received the original of is wrong. Unless you offering them a chance to trade it in. To be honest if you could just walk in any Walmart go to the NECA section and pick one up it might not be so bad. But to get the good one people will have to drive miles or pay scalpers. Avoiding this was supposed to be the point of preorders.

King Kahn · 10-12-2021, 12:52 PM

At least Danny is tall enough to block April’s knees in my display. Lol.

I'm guessing they sent all the **** knees April's out and are waiting on the docks to be shipped to NECA and then the Walmart's stock get the new knees from the running change. It is a real ****** move for sure.

TCRI · 10-12-2021, 01:48 PM

I kind of regret getting all the human figures, except Shredder and the foot.

Danny and April for obvious reasons. And 1st gen Casey, for the fact they released an improved version.

It's like f-you for being loyal.

I think April is too skinny too. Turtle's fingers are as thick as her wrists. And seeing them all together... Just something off about it.

The line was pure perfection until recently.

Also, it's close to a month since LC sent a shipping notification... Just sat there. No movement. I'm not even looking forward to baby Dan now.

~~AquaParade~~ · 10-12-2021, 02:03 PM

lmao, I called the April thing here, more than once!

Next up will be the "turtles in disguise" sculpts, but without the weird crack in the mouth.
They're rushing this stuff out the door on purpose, grabbing what money they can, and re-releasing. At least, that's exactly what it looks like. Repeat customers must be a big business for Neca.
I don't know how you defend this practice.

teemu · 10-12-2021, 02:51 PM

Just wait till when they re-use the John Connor and Danny short legs body again for Keno next year, considering he is another "short" actor....expect a Midget Keno too

Which would make less sense since Back to The Future II Marty has a lot of what Keno would need. I would think that would be a much easier reuse. But I will not be surprised if you are right.

Ok NOW I’ll buy one.

Found this video today and am surprised about the 2 NECA 7" Raphs.

At minute 9:05
https://youtu.be/hWe8FXd8-1Q?t=543

Is the version with the angry face a bootleg?

Filespit · 10-21-2021, 06:12 AM

Question for my fellow internationals/europeans; have you been able to purchase the Ultimate Casey Jones, Hamato Yoshi/Oroki Saki 2-pack and/or 30th Anniversary Super Shredder through retailers yet? Retailers here in Sweden are still unable to bring them in.

Not me. Got the casey+raph set, not the ultimate casey, the regular deluxe super shredder (the one with white lines) and skipping the yoshi/saki set. However casey/saph set and super shredder I both got from a retailer.
