NECA will be at Power Con this year, and I'd honestly be surprised if we get as huge a TMNT presence as we did at SDCC. Probably some Movie/Archie focus rather than the toon this time. Maybe.

>>9960413 Depends on how big they make him, and which version of Android Krang they're making. Are they doing a giant one, or a scaled one, like Playmates did later in the vintage line? He should be around Bebop and Rocksteady's height if the latter. That figure in the vintage line came with a smaller Krang, and so I'd imagine the Super7 would perhaps do the same. He could end up being a $90 figure like Mon*star in Silverhawks. If they make the even bigger giant version, I couldn't imagine him not being a $200 figure.

>>9960453 >>9960455 Looks really good. I think it'd be more fun if this line series did its own thing rather than just be TMNT. I know they already rebranded to an extent, and have teased things like lions, but keeping it that way would probably be what's best, with the occasional nod to whatever anthro animal they want here and there.

>>9960499 it would be nice to get something original these days.
>>9960497 well first of all it would be dumb to make two
secondly i think we can at least soft agree that the original toys were oversized and undersized. the correct size is somewhere in between.
what I want is the same size as the original, which in this scale would be more reasonable. after all, new bubblewalker krang is smaller than old bubblewalker krang compared to their respective turtles, right?
if they did him at toon height, which would definitely be in between, then you have to give him a huge belly to hold krang. which is what the cartoon did..
but while I want the bigger guy, I still want him to come with the accessories from the old one (minus the superfluous mini-walker) plus some more fun ones, whatever they can think of.
Anonymous
>>9960544 well they're tiny, so unless you have very small turtles, he's gonna look weird.
even though cartoon leatherhead wasn't a giant, this guy based on his head proportions obviously is meant to be huge, more like mirage leatherhead.

Then yeah, this guy would be in scale with the original playmates turtles but that's about it. anything over 5 inches and turtles would look out of scale with him. it also doesn't help that he's so hunched over, so he needs to be even bigger to look 'right' because it'd be weird for his head to be lower than anyone's

I think they knew what they were doing and put out a strong opening toy that two different demographics of collectors would take notice for, and they'll likely use the goodwill / word of mouth to expand from there.
Here's hoping the toy is as good as the promo images.

>>9964880 They brought back file cards for the latest reissues.
Anonymous
>>9964880 >>9964883 Its a neat idea, but to me, the figures seem much, much lower quality than the actual vintage ones. The paint seems much sloppier, the plastic even looks cheaper, and most of the figures I saw at Walmart of the original four turtles, the joints looked like they were popping apart on almost half of them. I guess for the $13 it probably beats paying the prices that the vintage figures are going for, but they just seem too cheap looking to me.
Crimson Commander !!uoqqXVkn8aK
>>9964888 Some of them seem better than others. The Mutant Module set, they cut paint apps on Bebop and Rocksteady, and even didn't paint on the toes for the Foot symbol on the Foot Soldier's forehead. The Slash and Krang in that set are perfect. Baxter's decent in the set, but the original vintage release still had more paint apps. I'd assume that they did the set on a budget, and probably could have done better if it were a 4 pack(they seem to be doing 4-packs now instead of 6). I'm fine with them being different and treating them like variants, since the original vintage line often had things like that going on, including unpainted details. The Movie Star Shredder is also worth picking up, since he was probably the best Shredder in the vintage line. And it appears that the Sewer Heroes figures will have all or very close to the vintage figures in regards to their paint apps. And the Sewer Sports set seemed pretty good. They previously re-released a couple of those before, but in the earlier re-issues they were missing paint apps(probably for budge reasons).
I'd like to see more figure packs. Storage Shells and Mutant Military(they have molds for two of them already) are high on my list. And some more re-issues of key characters.

Crimson Commander !!uoqqXVkn8aK
>>9965523 Yeah they had a female writer for the second OVA who went on to write her own series of light novels that exist based on her own canon, which have never been released in the US. One of those novels was turned into the second movie, "Daughter of Darkness." Her canon is better than Kajishima's, and Kajishima turns his into a convoluted hentai harem story that ends up ruining the dynamic of the series. Kajishima also seemed to dislike Ryoko and decided to change her despite that she was most popular character. He said she wasn't a realistic woman, and that women don't act like her in real life.

>>9965538 how weird. did his writers also contribute most of the better aspects of Photon! and El-Hazard? or like, those softcore hentai OVAs he made? those were tiggity tizzight. They didn't need to have badass spaceship scenes in a tiddy anime, but they did anyway. made me want more.
not being realistic is the entire point of Ryouko anyway. that's why we love her. I know one girl like her and she's intensely special to me, because she's the only one.
>sy-klone yeah I could see that. he has the helmet-skirt at least.
Crimson Commander !!uoqqXVkn8aK
>>9965557 In the Tenchi communities Kajishima has a reputation of being a bit of a hack when left to his own devices. Naoko Hasegawa is the more talented one, and is one of the three main creators.
https://tenchi.fandom.com/wiki/Naoko_Hasegawa Kajishima's dynamic of the series going full harem route ruins the "will they" or "wont they" dynamic of Tenchi being forced to choose one of the girls. But instead he marries and impregnates all of them, even the pet mascot, Ryo-oki. He even cucks his great grandfather. The other canons for the most part stick to the idea that he has to choose one and only one girl, and that's part of the plot of the movie Tenchi Forever, where it seems to implyhe chooses Ryoko(who's not Kajishima's pick apparently).

>>9965650 In his case, he changes the series to be about harems, and there's actually multiple harems that marry up, involving the harem from the GXP series. He also adds additional girls that no one cares about such as Noike(literal who character). And he changes Ryoko and denies her as an endgame in favor of his fetish.

Entertainment Earth is a wholesaler/distributor
Therefor, their product can be sold elsewhere if other retailers want them
Therefor, if Timmy's Toy Store has an account with EE and EE opts to offer their exclusives, they can do that
But if Super7 has their OWN store exclusives *NOT AVAILABLE AT WHOLESALE PRICE TO ANYONE AND MUST BE PURCHASED DIRECTLY THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE*
This is easy to follow.

>>9966233 first of all since when is there such a thing as a toy wholesaler.
secondly, how does it make sense for something to be 'exclusive' to a wholesaler. why even mention it? are there retailers who are not allowed to use certain wholesalers or something? because that's not how I understood retail to work..
Crimson Commander !!uoqqXVkn8aK
>>9966233 What if someone bought a bunch of the figure at dealer prices from Super7, since they themselves run a business and can qualify for a dealer rate? I for example used to know a guy who sold toys thru conventions and because he ran a business was able to purchase toys at a dealer rate, including acquiring for me what was store exclusives for certain retailers. He was then able to sell me the toys at the discounted rate-- a rate that was lower than retail. What's to stop someone like that from buying a bunch and then popping them on online stores, and sites like Amazon?

We don't know if Super7 sends solicits to comic shops or mom and pop stores to sell their figures. I've seen them in a few comic shops in my area, so I'd wager if they're not doing it thru Entertainment Earth, then they're doing it themselves as well. Some comic shops get a look at solicits for merch that hasn't even been revealed. There was a shop that for exampled leaked a bunch of G.I. Joe Classified listings before Hasbro had even revealed them.

I'm feeling nostalgic about the Turtles and want some action figures, but I don't know if I'd be satisfied just grabbing some vintage or vintage-esque cartoon figures. I'm certainly open to the idea of going full retro because that does have appeal, although to me Ninja Turtles is more than just the cartoon. It's also the comics, the movies and the 2000s cartoon that was airing when I was a teenager.

>>9971160 I know what you mean, I think of all the options we have right now, that isn't really one of them. there are chinese unlicensed ones that sort of look like the 2003 designs, and there are some new Mirage ones coming out that are more of the design that represented TMNT in general for a while, but there's not really any "evergreen turtles" at the moment..
the closest you could get is the Super7 ones based on the old toys, with their alternate heads that are in more of a generic style not tied to any particular branch of the franch. they aint cheap but they're currently on sale, and you wouldn't be able to get any more generic guys to go with them since everything is very much 'the toyline designed alongside the cartoon' nostalgia. But they are the most detailed for sure, except maybe the neca movie line, which does an amazing job representing the Creature Shop designs, but again that's very specific.. yeah I think your desire for more general middle of the road TMNT is strangely unmet at the moment.
would you be okay with 2003 series figures if those came out? because in my mind those more or less represent the 'general TMNT' at least until the style changed and they became more angular. I wish they'd stuck a little more to the toyline skin color scheme though, I still think that's unsurpassed.

>>9971929 I think the 2003 designs were excellent and honestly, if they came out with some 6" figures based on those they'd be an excellent "evergreen" option for adult fans.

>>9971929 Also was gonna say, the Super 7 turtles figures look awesome but they're out of my price range. I can't justify spending more than $30 on an action figure, especially since there's 4 turtles.
Anonymous
>>9972483 quite agree
someone post pictures of the new Mirage figures, because while i don't exactly love that style, I do think they're probably the best middle of the road turtles at the moment..
>price range well yeah that is the trick isn't it. they're frequently on sale right now, so you could probably get them for 33-34 each, but you'd have to keep your eye out and watch those prices fluctuate..

>>9972545 i remember him growing a lot larger than that, but I might be thinking of the arcade game.
anyway I don't think I'd get one, but it would be neato. for me I just want a figure in the normal scale, and if he grows.. i'll use forced perspective by putting him closer to my eye and squinting and pretending.

>>9972554 One of the early episodes he grows to the size of a building, they have to go inside his skin to take out his growth crystal

>>9972545 . if they make one to sale with the toon turtles it has to be over 30 inch

>>9972545 I'm actually surprised Neca didn't do a build a figure with him and the single figures.

>>9972199 Can't help it when figures are available in mass and then whiny man babies come crying online because they didn't buy one at the time and now have to pay aftermarket prices. He'll NECA gave everyone 2 weeks to preorder this shit. Ya snooze ya pay ebay price. Orders go up 9am EST on Fridays whenever Target does their shit. You got a smartphone, the ya got no excuse to miss these.

>>9972519 The new Mirage turtles do look pretty dope. I hope they make a variant with the TV bandanna colors because that'd absolutely make my day (although I could repaint them myself if I had to).
Anonymous
>>9972815 gotta admit, I love seeing mirage turtles with colored bandanas..
but I also want to see them with the toy skin colors. Because that's how I first saw the mirage designs, on things like puzzles or various other memorabilia.. actual mirage art, drawn by the artists, but colored by people who were more familiar with the toyline I guess. or the toyline designers who were mirage artists too, maybe them. Something about these serious TMNT with white eyes, it did something for me. I had no idea about the comics

>>9972868 That's the interesting thing I didn't think about when I was a kid, how there were actually multiple versions of Ninja Turtles and I just wasn't aware of it. I was just a kid and they were all similar enough that I didn't realize that sometimes the turtles were drawn with bigger more adult proportions and with white eyes, or that the toys had white eyes and the cartoons had pupils, and let's not forget how some versions had initialed belt buckles and others didn't. It wasn't until I became an adult that I realized how many differences there were, and that also makes it a lot harder to nail down what my "perfect" ninja turtle action figure would look like.

>>9972815 Really surprised at the amount of unique parts per turtle. Wonder if the shells are as well.

>>9972891 oh yeah, I was the kind of kid who noticed every little thing. Made those old toys completely fascinating. I didn't have a full grip on how different parts of the franchise were, and I would ask my parents why such and such as if they'd actually have an answer, but... yeah I am with you, tmnt is a FEELING. it can be hard to pin it down.

>>9963011 Not entirely true. Sometimes people selling loose figures need a box to raise the value if their sale. Or sometimes need the box to their loose figure they'd like to store in its original box. If sold a few rare gem boxes or Givin many empty boxes on offer up or groups & were usually used to resell their loose figure packaged for more cash. However many are for scam purposes.

>>9971946 >>9971969 I will unfortunately have to say the opposite. They ignored my preorders, then when I contacted them about it, they were out of stock and refunded me. Since so much time had passed since the toys' release dates, I feel like if I hadn't reached out, they would have just taken my money and just keep on truckin.
I Googled around and found similar stories from other customers. I am still using Dorkside unfortunately, because they provide some unique services like cheaper figures without BAF parts. But I am through with preordering anything there, they simply are not reliable. I only buy there if the item is in stock now.

>>9973198 generally anyone who takes money before the pre-orders ship is .. i don't want to say untrustworthy, but in my experience unreliable. I went to Toy Snowman or possibly Toys Now Man.. I think the former.. because they were the only ones that had the april/casey farm pack, and it sat in pre-order for like 7 months before finally it appeared online properly elsewhere. Now it was a longshot, but still. they took my money in advance and they got to sit on it for a pretty long time. It's the only canadian online toy store that ships to the US, so I was willing to pay a little extra to get those characters because that entire part of the movie is so fucking.. cozy. even without April's nip-ons. Come on third party, give us that.

>>9973206 I hope Toy Snowman is on the level, I have a few figures preordered there as well. I thought US Walmarts were already getting the farm 2-pack in stores?

>>9973206 They only charge up front if you use paypal, or have cancelled so much they force you to put a downpayment(I've cancelled a lot and haven't had this happen yet.)
Anonymous
>>9974315 I use PayPal with them. I actually liked the pay up front thing, I have some mental health issues that make it difficult to keep track of future things like preorders. So it works perfectly for me to set and forget, with no need to set aside funds for later, or do anything else really, until the toy just arrives in my mailbox.
In my naivete, I never anticipated that a company might take advantage of me for this.
