collector TMNT Toys from SOTA?

I am not sure if people here are familiar with SOTA, they make fantastic figures, aimed at collectors with a lot of articulation,
if you're not familiar: http://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_112105a.htm

But wouldn't it be great for them to do some TMNT the right way?

I used to say this, I remember emailing them and they said they tried to get the license but couldn't because Playmates has an iron grip. Personally I think Sota is on the way down, the president bailed out and I have no hope for the company. Now I'd rather go with Mezco.

Playmates will never let go of TMNT no matter how badly they ruin the line.

I'd say it's not so much that they're bad, but that they could just be sooo much better. They're still only putting 1990-level detail into figures when you compare them to the other modern lines.

Ro it's even less then that compaire any of the figures now to the amount of detail any of the 80's-90's line had.
I'm not one for articulation quite frankly I'd be happy if they release a line of mini statues made of plastic.
That's what they should have done with the mirage statues made them much smaller and released them in retail stores they would have made allot more money off them and more than likely would have kept making more characters.
But noooo that's actully thinking logical thinking.
