I never understood even as a kid who the hell collects these weird costumed "Turtles as someone else" toys. I never wanted Raph as the Ultimate Warrior or Frankenstein's Monster, I just wanted regular Raph as seen in the toon.

I like that the went the route of doing this in the 1990s Jim Hensen movie style. They could have easily done this in a cartoon look (perhaps they will) but for me i love that they look more "realistic." That said, if they can do these (and despite how bad the Third movie was) surely they can give us Samurai turtles.
Haha yeah I agree. |

The only reason I got the Leo as the Gillman is because at the time there were no Gillman figures and Creature from the Black Lagoon was my favorite of the Universal movies at the time. As such, it was the closest thing I ever got.

Make you press F4?...
Knock yourself out with Franken turtle here. The TMNT shelf must be about ready to collapse now. Meanwhile Ultimate Wolf here has been waiting for over five years. But by all means- keep them coming. Honestly it's like Neca is just trolling Predator fans. Though at this point it almost seems like a deliberate provocation... |

Yeah, ready made collector's items.
..and I'm neither a NECA, nor TMNT guy. |

Yeesh. I mean, he looks great for what he is.... But couldn't you just have switched around which Turtles corresponded to which monsters, NECA? I get that you can't make updates of the original figures, but make Leo the Invisible Man or something!

If you want to complain to NECA, then go wild, but it seems a bit unfair to take out your frustrations on TMNT fans. Toys are cancelled all the time, even ones that are way further along in the prototype stage than that Predator (my heart still aches for the S.H. Monsterarts Angels that Bandai showed off a decade ago). |

For the same reason I'm really not interested in them doing The Mummy at all but maybe they'll make up for it with some uniquely posed sculpt. |

There were so many better monster options to combine Leo with!
The Invisible Mikey figure had a cool mix of clear parts & removable bandages so it could totally work.

Back on Turtle talk, remember the SH Figuarts Shredder? Still waiting for that too. One of the figs I want most in this world. Maybe with the delayed success of their turtle line and the tremendous success of revitalization of the retro turtles we will see it later as NECA and SUPER7 slow down. I'll WAIT! As for Igor Leo, it looks really great so I'll get it. Buuuut maybe I agree mostly with people on the choice. Not the most encapsulating for Leonardo. Feels a tad boring. Lacking idk. |

I will fet this but it is such a bad choice. Are the rest of rhe rurtles going to be frankenstein related. Almost any monster would have been better.

I'm a big monsterarts fan. I had to look that up. OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I wish you hadn't mentioned them. They are so AMAZING. This black fig is one of the coolest action figures I have EVER SEEN. I don't know or care about the property but look at that...Definitely a heartbreaker.

Damn! Didn't see this coming. And as soon as I saw it, I knew people were going to complain about the choice of character. I get it, we'd rather have the more traditional Universal Monsters characters. But this Leo looks so damn good IMO. I love his droopy eye, the teeth, the little scar on his lip. Awesome.
When I first saw the pic, before reading anything, I thought it was Quasimodo, which would have been another inspired choice. And then I thought, "why Ygor? Why not Fritz?" Either way, Leo being Ygor hints at a Frankenstein-themed lineup for the four turtles. I'm intrigued to see the rest. |

That's an insult to us Leo fans. I don't care how they tried to rewrite history, but Leo will always be the BIG brother and LEADER of the turtles! He's no hunchback sidekick! That should have been Mikey!

There are a heck of a lot of people that love them as different types of turtles and figures . Thats why these will do well and more will be made . If you go by your taste then over half the existing line would never been made or became popular .

I know a lot of people weren't excited about Leo as the Hunchback, but man that figure looks pretty awesome. I love the opening shell!
