Just these last two years alone have provided an almost unprecedented wave of updates to all of those old-school versions and more!

I own most of the new Nickelodeon versions, plus the new 'Classic' Playmates ones, the Revoltech Raph, a couple of the new Bay movie ones in various sizes, the classic NECA original comic and the new Playmates original comic versions, and of course the new Mondo and SH Figuarts Raphs on pre-order. NECA however far and away, without a shadow of a doubt, takes the cake (or takes the pizza?) and trumps all of those. So impressed, literally cannot wait for these Turtles to be released. I can already envision the incredible influx of amazing Instagram photo-shoots of these guys, they are going to be truly excellent! (or radical maybe!?!)

Raph 4 Life. NECA 4 Life. Turtles 4 Life.

I had the same figures! All Raph of course. My children still play with mine. I had the Movie Star Raph 13 inch figure as a kid and it is in the floor right now, my kids still play with it. These are so awesome. I have been waiting for the Raph since I saw these were being released. I just knew that it would be the very last one but second isn't too bad! It looks better than I could have hoped.
