I'm in the same camp. I don't think people realize how amazing the SH Fig turtles are. Honestly, I didn't get it either, until I had one in hand. The super solid, heavy feel, amazing. The best a turtle has ever felt. The amaaazing articulation. The cartoon accuracy. Which is a biiiiit goofy, but, if we had all the villains and friends? Dear god that would be cool.

Point is, I don't think people bought into the SH figs enough for them to pursue the line. Or maybe NECA had the jump on them and they don't want to compete with that. Maybe they felt NECAs price point will ultimately work better for people for right now. After NECA has its run then SH Fig could pick up then. Or cherry pick during NECA success with a few villains, not sure. It would be the first time TMNT could be getting a full high quality figure line. Maybe they think, why not start at the lower price point first, kinda thing.

If that's the case.....

Collect all the NECA stuff because it's starting to appear that the line could move forward. Wish it were SH, but, I can't be disappointed. The NECA sculpts and design choices are spot on. My fav style foot soldier of all time too. That shredder is perfect.
Which, fyi, looks exactly like the SH FIG prototype. Another sign their style choices may have been too similar between the two companies. Leaving SH Fig to concede for now. I still want that SHF shredder more than anything.....

I have been buying both toy lines, in hope, at least one of them moves forward with this higher quality turtle line stuff. Cuz, it's like, finally!! Please! TMNT at a higher quality and more articulation!!! Woohoo!
The playmates are great. Better than great, but, been theres a ton of it already. What we all want now, desperately, is a high quality set!
I bought up all the SDCC stuff at the big prices, bit the bullet, and I'm glad of it. It's a really good sign that they are releasing this stuff on the bigger retail level. I feel like buying that stuff up helped propel this to the larger retail, so now, hopefully, a full line gets made and all us TMNTFL'rs get our fix.

TMNT FOR LIFE!
