Man, we are really accumulating quite a number of different incarnations of the TMNT in collector level quality now as a preferred alternative to the crappy kid's lines Playmates keeps producing. Unless I'm missing anything I think we now have:

NECA Mirage Studios black and white turtles
NECA Mirage Studios full color turtles (red masks)
NECA Mirage Studios full color turtles (multi-colored masks) - bootleg set
NECA Arcade Turtles
NECA 1980s Cartoon Turtles
NECA 1990 Movie Turtles

And now the Batman vs. TMNT turtles from DCC. Then next up is Super 7's version of TMNT, which many are speculating might be based on Playmates' 1980s toy line, but done in larger scale with better sculpts/more articulation, similar to the recent Toxic Avenger figure. I can't wait to see those at SDCC and hope it could do well enough to expand into a MOTU Classics type of line to give us April, Casey, and some of the less prominent cartoon/toy line villains like Rat King, Baxter Stockman, Fugitoid, Metalhead, Usagi Yojimbo, etc.

After those, is there really any other incarnation of TMNT left that's worthy of NECA or other collector-focused companies to produce?
