Please let this be real... Or am I reading too much into this?

I saw this and I'm mildly intrigued.
I say mildly because this could still be: a) The 1/4-scale figures only which are useless to me b) Weird retailer / online exclusives which are practically impossible to get or c) All of the above But if these are the 7-inch movie and / or cartoon turtles available through the usually NECA sellers around the globe – then well, that’s all I ever asked for. |

None of the NECA Turtles releases had any official release outside the USA as far as I know. So these could very well be just the quarter scale figures which would suck IMO. But here's hoping it's the 7-inch ones, preferably all of them. I would be really happy if they could bring the cartoon TMNT 2-packs over, they look awesome and there's plenty of new stuff in the pipeline with Slash, General Traag, Granitor and of course: Bebop and Rocksteady. |

I think the 1/4-Turtles were US exclusive as well? Just widespread releases, unlike the GameStop exclusive 7-inch movie Turtles and the Target exclusive cartoon 2-packs. Which meant retailers outside of the US could import the 1/4-scale figures and sell them with a markup which I have seen happening a couple of times.

In any case, we're in the same boat. Fingers crossed for 7" figures! |

Confirmed that (at least) the Cartoon TMNT 2-Packs are getting international releases.

Hell yeah. That is exactly what I wanted. Kudos NECA, I was honestly getting a bit annoyed over the "we can only release them once licensing issues clear up"-talk, but as it appears you’ve been working on it the whole time.
I'm gonna buy all of them and hope that Bebop, Rocksteady and the others will also be released here. |

Oh, thank goodness. Now everyone living in countries that aren't the good ol' US of A can stop coming here and whining about how they can't get this stuff.

I'm glad they're getting released for fans overseas, these aren't worth paying insane import prices, so NECA making these easier for the international crowd to obtain is a great thing.

My local German e-tailer of choice, space-figuren.de, just put them up for pre-order, 64,99€ per set. I pre-ordered all four
There's also what I assume are new product pictures attached to them? I'll share them here just in case. |

Good to see more sites popping up. I don't think those are "official" photos. Likely just a fans photos they are using, got permission to use, or took themselves.

Huh... but aren’t these the same images they printed on the box? I assume that's what those are, stock images for the box, but now they're used as official pictures for the international release as well. |

Awesome. Doesn’t sound like this is a one-off thing so we should get future releases as soon as they happen which is nice.

This news hits the exact same day I discover there’s a KO version of the 7 inch movie version 4 pack on the way... Did Neca also find out about that and think ‘Shit! Better let people know they can get the officials soon!’
It all just makes me glad I didn’t splash out £400 on eBay when I saw a local seller somehow got their hands on the set. |

Will this include Canada? It would be great if it did, but I’m not very optimistic.

Any word on when exactly the Bebop/Rocksteady 2-pack is supposed to hit Target? I think I heard sometime mid-summer, but haven't seen a more approximate date.
I hope they eventually follow up that set with a Splinter/April set (or maybe Casey Jones/April). Those are the only 3 characters of importance left for them to release from the 80s cartoon. |
