More important than Splinter?
We don't even have a Splinter yet.
Casey doesn't appear on every episode, not even in a majority of them.

EDIT:
Let me rephrase that....
If Casey comes with April, that would have been a must-buy.
But i don't think Casey alone is strong enough to sell, at least for me.

I feel ya bro. April is more important to me than Casey also. Neca was cool if they made a 2-pack of them imo. But no they still want us to buy those stupid Foot Soldiers. I hate this sh*t of them. Due to this I will buy April and Casey seperately via eBay.

I also don't like the Turtles in time etc. Again the same molds just with another color scheme. All this time of waiting and they came with this assortment. Really dissapointing to me and Leatherhead and Slash won't be out till summer. What the h*ck is taking them so long. A normal buyer (no fans) are forgot about this line in the meantime.

I wish they focused on 1/4 1990 Splinter, cartoon Splinter, Baxter, Android Krang and Punk Frogs. After years waiting we still have basically the same figures.

The problem is they will be out of the package. I really prefer singles instead of two packs. Duplicating them just makes me sit out the first round and wait for the second packaging. It worked for the four turtles, Shredder, and Krang. Now we have to wait for April and Casey to be packaged together. However what about Splinter? Should it be April and Irma and Casey and Splinter? Where would Splinter be best packaged? Don't tell me a half dozen mousers? Maybe The Rat King!? I would love that, The Rat King as I love him best in NECA form!

I don't really care if they are out of the package. The only thing that bugs me is the fact that they are even more expensive if you buy them seperately. But I don't want to be stuck with Foot Soldiers. I don't think they will repack Casey and April later as a set but we will see.

Splinter must be packed with the Rat King handsdown. How can you love Rat King in Neca form? He isn't presented or announced (yet)?

Its wishful thinking. Of the characters that have not been announced or already produced I was trying to figure out how Splinter would get released. If he were to be released alongside another unproduced figure it would make sense that it would be Rat King.

Agreed.
I’m looking forward to seeing what they do with Splinter! I never liked the Playmates version

That would be perfect! But we’ll probably get Splinter vs Foot Soldier instead.

The more I think about it NECA needs to hear from the fans. I did some research and it appears the only way to contact them as a non-retailer is Twitter. So perhaps everyone who has a Twitter send a message on the same day stating, no more Foot Soldiers or repackaging! It hurts your sales! Or specifically state Splinter and Rat King. Its the only idea I can come up with.

It would be a sad day if we really got rat king before all the other cool figures which could've been had first.

I was surprised that we got Slash and Leatherhead ahead of Splinter. Who else would be better? Rat King is my second favorite foe. Baxter the fly and as a human?

Was able to get myself the new Turtle figures, no Bebop set but am still happy to at least get the 4 turtles. Lucked out finding them, one set was placed in the clearance section (not clearanced though), while the other was just stuck into a random spot in the boys section.

Baxter, absolutely!
I’m also voting for Traag/ Rock Soldier combo or Triceraton/Fugitoid combo. I like army building rock soldiers and Triceratons

I thought about General Tragg and I wondered if Lt Granitor or a generic rock soldier. Granitor gets more attention that I suspected since he made a single appearance, but the games and IDW.
