Hmm.... Wondering if She'll sign the badge as Judith Hoag or April O'Neil. It is April's badge after all, and April's name is printed above and there's a line for the signature below....

Edit: Ah, finally just watched the video. Guess she'll be signing it as Judith.

So, an extra $70 for a cheap raincoat and a signed press pass? NECA can fuck right on off with that ridiculous money-grubbing bullshit, lol.

Oh, and those knee joints are HIDEOUS. Good thing the rest of the figure looks nice, but I'm starting to think NECA can't do joints on human characters for shit.

Or likenesses, either. April looks good, but that doesn't look ANYTHING like Casey/Elias Koteas.

Unmasked casey looks more like joey ramone than elias koteas.

Im gonna give her a longer skirt to cover those knees.

[Nerdtainment]

Good god those knees... why? I'll get it just because I need it for my collecting. Don't care about the raincoat beings it's only in the movie briefly, and as for the signature I'm good on that too. This series get pricey for sure. I'll wait till they hit my stores before I pay $15 shipping lol.

Also, anyone that bought the boxes, if you have a Shell Shock Turtle or Dani you don't want, hit me up

[PoweredConvoy]

Glad to finally be able to get this. It looks great.

I only need the 4 Turkeys and a Casey now. Hope they reissue the Turtles and I will order the unmasked Casey when he comes out. Got the kid, Splinter, Shredder, and the Foot on pre-order.

I mean that's just a dumb comparison to make but OK. You do you. The figure isn't dog shit. I don't buy figures because they have nice knees.

Was just commenting from the various preorders I bought from them last few months. Yes I get those email updates when they're expecting to ship. I ended up buying some of their 2 packs at different times (cause they staggered them by week) cause I wasnt fortunate to find any of them in Target stores in my area. Each time orders wont process without the $15 shipping cost. Still, thanks dukefett.

But yeah its overall net a good thing with this release, will be looking for another crack at it since NECA historically has done so with other lines. Maybe its just me and me being weird but, I would gladly swap out the extra headsculpt for that raincoat, and buy the regular version.
Now if they're going to do a re-release with her and Casey, give all the accessories minus the signed pass, dont skimp and I'll pay, though the eyes are slightly off with Casey.
The knee joints are a sticking point considering how almost everyone feels the movie Turtles were pretty much "perfect," so why not strive to have that same standard for the others tied to the first movie?

$9 for international shipping to my address but $15 for domestic...so much for fixing those shipping issues Neca.

They need to stop experimenting with these weird double joints they've been doing or adopt something more like what other companies use. They look hella weird and unnatural, break up the sculpt like crazy, and honestly don't even work that great. For a company that puts so much effort into the sculpt and masking articulation as much as possible with overlays, it's just weird to do something so aesthetically unappealing. I appreciate the effort but they need to reevaluate.

That said, I am happy April is being made and already pre-ordered one. Just wish her legs looked human.

Yeah, I recently picked up their Alien Ash figure that has NECA's weird double-jointed elbows, and honestly they barely go past 90 degrees. Hasbro can do better with single-jointed elbows.

Their monster joints are good, but when it comes to human characters, NECA has no clue.

[JerpJerp]

NOPE. CASEYS FACE PAINT looks NOT RIGHT. They need to try that again. Colors too dark or something. It's looking a little goofy. Come on NECA gotta fix that. Don't scare Elias off.

April looking good. The knees are pretty weird. But it's a great execution.

[Tarkin]

The knees on her look ridiculously awful. Neca were better off replicating the sculpt on their 8 inch Laurie Strode. It looks like she’s wearing flesh colored boots. Likeness looks great though

[VashTS]

Is this NECA's last NECA store order for a while? I wanted to pair April with another character to save on shipping.

Anyone know how long this preorder will be up?

All of the other ones lasted 10 days, if there is any new figure to be added, it would happen on Friday. So you should be safe to hang out until Friday and still be able to order the other cartoon packs they added last week also.

[tagmac]

Seems ridiculous to me that the regular version doesn't come with the yellow coat. I posted something on Instagram about it, and their response was that it would be too expensive, and would have doubled the price of the figure. Tell that to the WWE people, who have put out plenty of figures with cloth coats, and the price hasn't gone up.

[HoovenIV]

Their mass production is quite different, though.

Not that I disagree with you.

This lovely lady just arrived today. Keep checking your inboxes if you haven't gotten the shipping notice yet.
