NECA And The TMNT

TMNT

July 22, 2019

Over the course of the last several days you had a lot of images and info thrown at you all at once for San Diego Comic Con, so now that things are winding down we wanted to go back and recap some of the highlights from the show. The first being NECA and their various line of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collector figures.

So first thing to note is they will be doing three different 6" lines for various retailers. Just announced the other day was a brand new line of video game based figures from the Turtles In Time game that will be sold exclusively through the comic and online specialty markets. Then we will be getting movie based figures sold exclusively at Gamestop stores and then finally the animated series 2-packs which will be sold as Target store exclusives.

The second wave of Target store exclusive 2-packs will include 2 Foot Soldiers, Rocksteady and Bebop, and the remaining two sets will feature the 4 Turtles based on style guide colors, which translates to brighter tones than the previous animated series figures. They will also include new accessories.

Other figures for the Target series though not specifically confirmed for wave 3 include cartoon versions of April O' Neil, Casey Jones, Slash, Leatherhead, Metalhead new Foot Soldiers including a battle damaged one.

They will also be doing an Ultimate FOOT soldier with one figure and multiple heads and weapons. The Rodney droid from the arcade will see release either as a 2-pack or possibly a 3-pack depending on cost.

Next year is the 30th Anniversary of the original TMNT movie and they will be doing more figures as well as figures for Secret Of The Ooze which we will start to see at NYCC and more so during Toy Fair.

Can't say I'm quite THAT emotionally invested in them, but they are HIGH on my list. And yeah, Krang is pretty awesome.
Now, Casey and April are the ones I want so bad it hurts. I also find myself awaiting the inevitable Usagi Yojimbo, but I don't wanna count my chickens before they hatch.

I would literally kill, for a NECA Usagi.

I'm missing the Michaelangelo figure

I wouldn't sweat it to much. There seems to be enough repetition in the coming waves that just about anybody who missed such-and-such figure will be able to get it without resorting to Ebay (as I did).

The only sticking point seems to be the wait BETWEEN waves. I don't know about you, but I'm not a patient man.

Yeah, I feel like I've been waiting for these version of Bebop and Rocksteady my entire life. And Krang is definitely a buy.

I saw these figures in person at SDCC and they are totally radical.

My local Target (MD) is pretty good about getting the NECA products out, but I havent see anything new since the last time I was there (9/27).

Good. Please keep us posted...
