Asking $100 for these TMNT figures feels utterly ridiculous, especially when you take into account the sheer number of alternatives already available in the market. Playmates has long been a staple for TMNT collectors, offering affordable and nostalgic options. BST AXN provides another layer of variety, catering to fans who want slightly more modern designs without breaking the bank. NECA, of course, dominates the space for high-detail, collector-grade figures with their cartoon and movie lines, making it tough for anyone to compete in terms of quality for the price. Even Super7, a brand Im personally not a fan of, brings something to the table with their Ultimates line, which appeals to collectors seeking a vintage aesthetic with a modern upgrade.
On top of that, theres the growing popularity of the 1:18 scale Joy Toy figures, which is the direction I went in, offering great articulation and quality at a fraction of the cost. Lets not forget the MONDO figures. While MONDO is in a league of its own when it comes to pricebeing far more expensive than even this $100 price tagtheir premium build quality and sheer size justify the higher cost for collectors who are willing to splurge.
If that wasnt enough, we also have the upcoming Heat Boys HEATFIG8 TMNT figures, which are shaping up to be an exciting addition to the collectors market. With so many options available, any company hoping to sell their TMNT action figures at a premium price point needs to deliver both exceptional quality and a compelling reason for collectors to choose their product over the competition.
Frankly, pricing these figures at $100 feels like a massive misstep. Its almost as if theyre completely ignoring the fact that collectors have an overwhelming number of choices that cater to a wide range of tastes and budgets. If they expect fans to fork over that kind of money, theyll have to offer something truly extraordinarysomething that sets their figures apart in terms of value, detail, or innovation. Otherwise, collectors will simply take their business elsewhere. For me, $100 for these figures isnt just steepits outright impractical given the current landscape of TMNT collectibles.

Honestly, how many toy companies have come to the public eye because of a tmnt line lately?
And I agree with Reno, price seems too high for me, even loving the look
These turtles look like something I would've drawn.
I'll give credit where it's due. These look amazing. With that being said, there is no way that I'd pay $100 each for these when there are there other options that are equally high quality at a much lower price point.
I think these look great, I'm just not a fan of the chest design: 1.personally never liked the suggestion of pectoral muscles and these have big pecs 2.or suggestion of shoulder straps(not sure how to explain). Both points together make me think of wrestlers outfits or one piece bathing suits, if not for that i would be looking to order.
I really hope they do a 89 cartoon inspired Splinter.
Kind of agree with others they might look a tiny bit too buff, just makes me think theyre older. Maybe not as noticable if the pectorals were more like bone plates.
I've said it before, every day a new turtle action figure gets announced, like literally, it's insane, does anyone collect every single turtle thing ever? I wanna know that person, show me their collection, but now talking about these turtles, they look too buff and aggressive, something about them I don't really like, they need to calm down, stop taking the roids.
Every know and then we found out a company we never heard of before is making their on take on the Turtles.
I know nothing abt the company, but these look fantastic. Be curious abt pricepoint
These really are gorgeous. Definitely have my curiosity on the price.
Maybe they are little bit too buff for their own good, nevertheless, sculpting is truly superb and articulation looks (or seems to be) really elaborate and well hidden.
