This said, I hope to the toy gods NECA can find a loophole and sell these shellheads at retail, like they did with the SDCC exclusive Newt figure a few years back.

They didn't need a loophole to sell Newt at retail though. They needed a way for retail to actually support the release, as child figures generally don't sell well. Which is why she was packed with Ripley. They own the rights to essentially do what they want with the Aliens line.

For TMNT that is in 6" to 7" scale, that's all Playmates. There's no loophole to be found. Otherwise the video game figures, comic figures and cartoon figures from past few years would have already been released at retail. And their TMNT license would still be US only at that point.
