I really have to wonder why it’s so hard for NECA to get the release right on anything TMNT related. I understand licensing restrictions to a degree, but a lot of times they have inconsistent messaging.

First they’ll say they can’t sell toon or movie stuff directly and that it can only be bought online or in store at Target and Walmart only to say never mind we can sell directly from our website, and then between high demand, scalpers, bots and broken checkout buttons, you can’t get the figures you want anyway without being lucky enough to walk into your store before the next desperate collector.

Obviously they aren’t limited to productions runs since this is the Turtle’s third time being released for the cartoon and movie stuff and we know NECA can somehow magically decide when to release this directly via their web store. They say they have their hands tied, but I think there’s more to the story I just don’t know what that “more” is.

I find it hard to believe that they couldn’t just sell these directly via their Ebay or Amazon stores (even though shipping is a ripoff) like they do their other products and they could probably monitor bots and scalpers much easier that way too.

Like many here, I think NECA’s stuff is incredible this reveal included, but it’s hard to get excited with so many issues.
