They can't. That's Playmates domain. they did say their SDCC releases will be a lot easier to get this year.

Best news ever! Can't wait for the full reveal. Even if this set is $100 it's much more affordable than a set of the SH turtles.
Great work as always NECA |

Not normally a Turtles guy, but damn. Might have to try and snag this if it can be acquired for less than the down payment on a car.

Was the molds that were used for the video game set last year never released as classic turtles before? Were they new?

Damn! I paid around $350 for the SHF Turtles... I'm guessing these will cost less. Gotta get them!

They do look good, but would have loved for them to kind of downscale their current sculpts on the 1/4th ones.
Hope it does not turn into the hell it was to get last year's set. |

Master License Holder gets to dictate it however they see fit or whatever they see as "competition" for their main lines.
Some companies dictate solely by size, while other dictate by which stores it can be sold at, countries it can be sold in, material used, points of articulation (I kid you not), characters, etc.

There are ways you can get around it at times, but usually the master license holder will still have a say in some form or fashion.

They look like playmates classic turtles, no? I mean obviously not identical, but similar. Maybe these would possible have better articulation? Better accessories? I don't see a huge difference here.

NECA has proved time and time again they can work around licenses giving us cool little treats. i.e. 7" Reeve Supes, Keaton, West & Bale Batmen, to name a few. One can only hope they will eventually shrink down their formidable 1/4 movie Turtles.

I was thinking the same thing. Having those, I don't see a pressing need to get these as well. I guess we'll see for sure when they do a full reveal.

There's a teaser somewhere for a SDCC Shredder too. Nothing definitive yet in terms of look, but if it's the shredder we should have gotten for the classic line, then I'm in.
