$25.50 a figure? not bad, when you consider that's about the average for 6" specialty figures these days.

Yeah it's better than $45/figure that Super7 is charging. I really hope to just be able to buy Bebop and Rocksteady online and not fight the stores.

Already sold out.... This is ridiculous.

Edit: I didn't ready the whole article... Guess they were't available yet from the start.

The toon colors on the turtles look good, but I do wish they had gone with new head sculpts. The super serious looks don't match these colors. But the good news is that the turtles are their own packs so I can skip them... but I probably won't...

Pretty cheap if you ask me. Even the Playmates Classic were more, and they were too tall and not very good quality.

Yeah the headsculpts is why I still go with the SH Figuarts turtles.

Fits the look of the cartoon and the arcade game. Figuarts looks like the Archie comics and the Turtles Forever parody of the original cartoon Turtles. They look more like Disney characters.

Ok well I totally disagree, I much prefer the sculpts with expression than NECA's ANGRY turtles. That's not how I think of them in the cartoon. I mean just look at the frigging box art.

Yeah. The "frigging box art" is the Archie comics style art, too. Not only that, but it's not based on the actual animation. Google the cartoon images and google the archie comics images. The season one animation looks like Neca more than SFH, which looks like Archies and promotional retro art. Since the TMNT are supposed to be staring down the Foot, they really shouldn't be smiling like Mickey Mouse. Even in the cartoon, they were serious when it came to fighting. Only in later seasons of the cartoon and in crap like Turtles Forever, after parent groups cried because the TMNT had... gasp... violence! were the TMNT reduced to clowns.

TimothyR · 10-22-2019, 12:15 PM

Cool. More stuff I’ll never see in stores.

I really want shredder. But of course he isn’t part of this.

Hopefully with Target.com soon selling these, and frequent restocks, you'll be able to get Shredder. I saw him and leo shelf-warming for almost a month and a half in my local area.

I honestly see more of the figuarts ones here than the neca ones, but well, maybe I remember another cartoon.

That's on you, then. I can find just as many pro-Neca pics. Color of the green, look of the face, looks more like Neca than Figuarts. Figuarts looks too goofy and stupid and Disney-fied. But to each their own. Luckily, this is NECA TMNT thread, so I don't have to care about the figuarts ones.

they are excellent quality and have tons of articulation.

Huntergreen2005 · 10-22-2019, 08:13 PM

Rocksteady and Bebop will be mine!

Nutimus Prime · 10-22-2019, 09:47 PM

I searched for the Raf and Mikey 2 packs a bunch just to track down Foot Soldiers so I'm very happy to see the Foot 2 packs.

I can't wait to have Bebop and Rocksteady next to Shredder and the Foot Soldiers.

Whovian2018 · 11-14-2019, 10:31 AM

So now I am seeing reviews of these on youtube, but I never saw them go live on the website nor did i receive an email about them going live. Did I miss something?

applefirebird · 11-14-2019, 12:04 PM

All I heard is that the release date is very soon. 🤔

webz · 11-19-2019, 04:09 PM

Facebook post says these go live online next week

I really hope so! Would love to avoid the store hunt.

metalalchemist · 12-10-2019, 09:51 AM

Was anyone able to get these?
Neca kept talking about a huge release and apart from scalpers, I have only seen about 7 guys get them.

Only seen Leo/Donnie actually live on the site. Seen TONS in stores though. Seems to be 6 boxes of each sku per shipment per store.

Seen Mike too, but there is something weird with their site. Purchase button is enabled, but when you click on it, you get a message that they are out of stock.
It is a bummer since I thought there would be enough stock (at least that is how neca sold us the idea)
