Yeah... I don't need that. But kind cool for those who dig the movie and the toon.

Not sure why they would make a jumpsuit April since that was never in the movie, I guess some may want it, but definitely not for me. All the made up stuff like the Universal Monsters Movie Turtles, are an easy pass for me. I’d rather save that money for a Paige Turco April, or Tatsu figure, hopefully they make those soon.

I think she is intended to look like the arcade cabinet art. I might be in for this one. No doubt her leg articulation will be better without the skirt. But I want to see the actual thing first.

I'm more interested in the Pizza Face arcade game cabinet she was supposed to come with than her.

Oh, yeah, I really want that set for the accessories! Plus, I'm a sucker for Aprils.

Now THAT would be amazing. The figure shown looks nothing like it, but if NECA actually did make the 6 figures based on the iconic 1989 Arcade Marquee, I’d be all in. Of course that means they’d have to track down the models for April and Shredder to get likeness rights. That would be so cool though, to have a diorama of that street scene and re-create the 1989 Arcade cabinet art, with new Turtle figures that look accurate to the marquee, plus April and Shredder.

It feels too "Ripley from Aliens" to me, which might have been intentional by NECA.
