One of the main reasons I think Playmates' Ninja Elite Series figures failed, besides the bad sculpts and engineering, is because the scaling was terrible. They fell for the McFarlane trap of "people are paying for X number of inches so make all of them exactly 6" tall." They were like all the worst parts of a McFarlane figure with none of the good. And since the Turtles end up being basically the same size as a Neca figure in the 7" scale since they're too tall, why wouldn't someone just buy a Neca figure?
