NECA Will Not Be Showing At NYCC

Archon_Turtle · 01-26-2009, 10:56 AM

Feel free to speculate about the validity of the following statement, as it is "A Little Bird Told Me" Status:

NECA will not have a booth at NYCC. Feel free to discuss the various reasons why you think that might be! That's why I started the thread...cause I have no idea on that part.

How convenient

I just heard the same thing today. However I did also hear a rumor they are suppose to be at Toy Fair??

*Weapon X* · 01-26-2009, 11:14 AM

We just can't catch a break, can we?

Ok, I've been out of the loop for a while, I got the four Turtles and nothing else ever came out. So NECA just kinda disappeared from the radar? And Playmates popped up with their "Comic" Turtles, does all this relate?

Thanks, I figured it did.

Oh, by the way, nice Blog.

That's some bull...the trip is only half worth it now.

*CyberCubed* · 01-26-2009, 11:26 AM

Too bad we'll never get that Shredder, Foot, Elite Guard, or April figures they sculpted.

I hate it when they show off toys but then don't release them. It bugs the hell out of me.

Well besides that I enjoy their products and would have enjoyed seeing them in person on display.
I'm only really going for the Mirage crew now as I'm really not all that into other comics maybe I will see something I like though.
Is this con like San Diego? By that I mean more of a Star Wars Anime convention.

*Hero* · 01-26-2009, 11:36 AM

Sorry to hear that. At least a lot of you guys/gals will get to meet up, which IMO is a solid reason for attending a convention.

Who knows what may turn up anyway.

In my opinion:
The SDCC is a media convention. NOT a comic convention. SDCC has a lot more like...tv shows, video game companies, blah blah blah. NYCC isn't as contaminated by non-comic organizations. So it is more of an actual comic convention...you know...with comics.

Good, I'll enjoy it then

I blame Archon for tipping them off that fans will be there bitching at them

I kid. This however is getting ridiculous. I'm kind of happy I never got the NECA Turtles or I'd be super mad since, like, months ago.

*Candy Kappa* · 01-26-2009, 12:31 PM

someone scared them off

I thought you weren't going?

*Kendamu* · 01-26-2009, 06:51 PM

Terrific. Now I don't have to hear any lame excuses as to why I have four Turtles on my shelf poised to battle the forces of nothing.
