>>11235129How can Neca recover from this?
BBTS is having a large Super7 clearance blowout, includes a lot of their TMNT. If you think you want the Party Wagon, it's now $350, for instance.
>>11235145Pretty well considering it doesn't affect them in any way, shape, or form.
>>11235127Aw those little turtle babies are adorable. >>11235145Considering the JoyToy line is a much smaller scale than Neca I don't think many people would consider it an alternative to the cartoon line. She has a good sculpt though, makes me think of April from that Last Ronin sequel series but not an old woman.

Got my Mezco TMNT set. Did not expect the box to be so huge. Lego Squidward for reference. Debating if I even wanna keep the box since they provide plastic bags to store the accessories and bits except the stands.
>>11235567I guess think about it if you're going to resell them or not.
>>11235650I’ll resell the boxed Neca turtles I have and use the Mezco in their stead.
>>11235695Why do you pretend to be other people? What a stupid thing to do.
>>11235702I wasn’t pretending to be the other anon, I have my Mezco order as well and they will replace the oddly proportioned and out of scale Neca turtles, simple as.
>>11235749What a dumb troll post
>>11235749Uh...huh. I'm sure this totally nonsensical post is totally 4 realz.
Apparently some people are finding 1/4 turtles at burlington.
>>11235875neat if so, but I highly doubt it
>>11235880https://www.reddit.com/r/NECA/s/XVwHd0JPBg
>>11235898That doesn't prove it.
>>11235899I guess not, but I don’t really see why’d they lie
>>11235904It's Reddit. Why would you believe anyone on Reddit?
Found 2-Bopsteady, feels like they could've used guns? But it's a fun figure. Feels like it should've been larger, too. Metal-Boto is way more fun than I expected it to be. Wasn't trying to do the BAF when this line started, but fuck it, glad I did. Bring on the next wave.
>>11235567Mezco is already shipping orders? It said Feb-April.
>>11236042yeahhh metal-boto looks cool.. this line doesn't suck
>>11236042It’s weird to me that these got store space, but they’re selling some of the actual vintage origins figures on the Mattel creations website.
>>11235695>>11235749>oddly proportioned and out of scale Neca turtlesWhat are you even talking about?
>>11236166It's a troll post. I wouldn't give it any attention man.
What would the Mezco turtles even be comparable to NECA wise? The mirage turtles?
>>11236211Technically, yes. The Mirage figures pull closer to the early Mirage looks, but are also "Mezco-ified" enough to be their own thing too.
>>11236212The *MEZCO* figures pull closer to, excuse me.
Some pics of the Super7 Rat King.

>>11236366
>>11236363HE HAS THE CAT BELT AFTER ALL!holy shit it works even better as a bandolier.i'm still miffed he doesn't have his rat crossbow, but maybe ramentoys will make it, since they no longer have to make a new head for him
>>11236366holy shit he's hot
>>11236369I mean, we knew he had the cat from initial solicitations. It's just not a belt anymore. Because Playmates. Which is also why he doesn't have the crossbow, and has "original" weapons and cartoon accessories.
>>11236375naw we definitely didn't know some of this
>>11236377Yes we did. What the hell are you talking about?
someone start 3d printing rat crossbows. you will make mad cashand the ratppling hook. we need that.
>>11236366Why the fuck is Dio maBrando the Rat King now?
>>11236081Yeah they have "preorders" but I'm guessing they also had left over stock to ship? My copy had OK Raph and Mikey belts, they don't fall down as much as reviewers who complained.I'm overall satisfied despite the steep price tag. They sorta remind me of the 2012 basic turtles, but fancier.
>>11236361>>11236363>>11236365>>11236366>>11236368Ooh nice, looks like a great release from super7. Will probably be replacing my toon Rat King from NECA, which that figure was no slouch either. But this looks fantastic.
>>11235127>JoyToyI have half a dozen of joytoy figures in a enclosed glass shelf and after a short while I've noticed a really bad smell coming from them, so now I have to open the shelf to vent it a bit. Anything I can do to get red of the smell? Already tried washing them in a soapy water but it barely worked. .
>>11236366Sexy rat king isn’t the alt head, it’s the only one to use for display
>>11236448The cheapness still comes through with the faded plastic look and messy watercolor type wash they use. It was like that on their Scumbug too, which was unfortunate.
>>11236623Yeah I’m not happy with the Neca tooner rat king either with its cracking diaper and bad paint on the face. I’ll definitely swap it with the super7 rat king
>>11236652Except the NECA toon Rat King doesn't have any of those things. You sound like dumbass when you troll like that and try to pretend to be other people.
>>11236654
>>11236658>whining about a factory mess up that was fixed immediately after
>>11236664When did that occur because mine still has stress cracks from simple poses
>>11236684The two subsequent re-releases fixed it once they caught the issue at the factory. They would send you a new one if you emailed them, too.
>>11235906Why would i believe anybody on 4chan? How do I know you aren't going to every Burlington and hoarding turtles?
>>11236752You're right, they never showed up at Burlington.
>>112367524channel is very unreliable for information. In this general, we had an anon claim that Neca has never participated in Summer Geek Out and lied that the Last Robin accessory pack was coming when it was just a synja two pack. Even worse, SDCC exclusive figure launch times were suppressed so that anon could have a greater chance of scalping these desired items, denying the rest of us the opportunity. Shameful, very shameful.
>>11236873So a bunch of nothing remarks that you've decided to run up a flagpole because you're butthurt and hold grudges and straight up lies? Doesn't seem like you're a very reliable source yourself.
>>11236873>claim that Neca has never participated in Summer Geek OutSo? The entirety of your post, particularly the last half, is made up claims. Welcome to 4chan noob.>lied that the Last Robin accessory pack was comingThe one that's on Target's website right now? Cause it came out. Pretty sure people were expecting it for a while considering they talked about it for some time before that Haulathon or whatever it was.>when it was just a synja two pack. An unannounced surprise drop. And that matters why? >Even worse, SDCC exclusive figure launch times were suppressed so that anon could have a greater chance of scalping these desired items, denying the rest of us the opportunity.Been here a long time, that's never once happened. In fact, your whole post seems to be a bundle of autism taped together to form one big ball of stupid. That's awful queer of you and your intentions.
>>11235875>>11235898Picked up the full set of 4 at Burlington’s today, thanks for the heads up
>>11237126No you didn't
>>11235875Got the 1/4 scale movie Raph at my local Fuddrucker’s, score. Thanks anon
>>11237245... at a restaurant?fuddrucker's is such a magical place. i once played super mario world on an arcade machine there. i don't understand how that's even possible but it was.
>>11236361I’m not really excited for this anymore knowing he might be the last vintage figure. Dude was never my favorite, I just got him in the hopes they’d do more… maybe I should just cancel him.
>>11237290The line cratering like it has definitely leaves me unsure if I want to bother collecting anything they come out with here on.
>>11237290back when they had to change his face and colors, that worry made sensebut the fact that this happened, and isn't just a carryover from a long time ago, means they are okay to go. they just have to make slight modifications. i am SUPER okay with that, I actuall wish Genghis Frog had gotten this treatment. His weapons really needed changing, I mean why is one of them a caulking gun with a tongue?i have already bought an army of in-scale rats for the King, I am 100% getting him. and I will pay upwards of 40 dollars.
>>11237307>means they are okay to go.No, it doesn't. Are you just ignoring every other warning sign that's happened since then? >they just have to make slight modificationsMore than slight. Again you're simplifying a problem that is hindering the product greatly.
>>11237314literally nothing HAS happened since then. they went totally dark for like 2 years.look I miss the ratppling hook and the rat crossbow too, but this is a lot better than nothing. So far the original weapons they've come up with are quite nice.
>>11237263There used to be a Super Mario World arcade machine at the nearest cinema when I was a teenager. I had a SNES so I never bothered putting money into it.But semi on topic, the local K-Mart that was located in the basement of a tiny shopping centre had a TMNT arcade machine out the front of it. That ate a fair bit of my change.
>>11237537yeah i was thinking like, how the fuck would it make money, you don't die a lot in that game if you're any goodit turns out it's timer-based, and it's a special thing nintendo made, proprietaryahh that ol TMNT game.. god it was good.
>>11236361>painting the centipede black and not green like his vintage card artis S7 stupid?
>>11237864Yes, but also who knows how incredible petty the Playmates rep is when it comes to what gets approved. Maybe it's both, where Playmates would reject the release if it was too close to the box art but Super 7 changed it anyway because nobody on staff gives a hot shit about turtles anymore.
>>11237263In 1989, Nintendo put together a custom Arcade cabinet that had like 10 of their top selling games on it that you could play any of them for a quarter. The downside is that it operated on a timer meaning you only could play for 5 minutes before your game immediately stopped unless you put in more change every five minutes.It was notable in that they actually put Super Mario 3 in the cabinet ahead of its official release in 1990, to tease fans and drive customers to play it/decades to buy the cabinet. They did something similar with the SNES but those didn't sell well so they were discontinued rather quickly.
>>11237864they have definitely not been following the card art, nor the toy-inaccurate-painted-weapon-photos they used to have on the back sometimesbut the card art has also been visibly wrong from time to time, so eh
>>11237992by arcade standards that's not that bad.
>>11237864Considering the other 'close but not quite' changes they made to this and rapper mikey I would assume its intentionally skirting the line of what they're allowed to make.
>>11238367Especially since this is the "we went back and begged" make up figure... But then you get total garbage like that Ninja April or whatever. Really have no faith in ultimates going forward.
>>11238367what were the differences on rapper mikey?
>>11238370The pivot to the 2003 show is an interesting choice, if that first wave with the brothers ends up being decent they could keep me around for the next wave where they teased Shredder although I don't remember what else was in the silhouette
>>11238374i could actually see getting their shredder and justifying him on my shelf as like, "extra spooky spirit guy shredder" like that's as valid as astronaut raph.when i first saw 2k3 shredder i was like "holy shit he looks like Chrome Dome" and I used to use Chrome Dome as my shredder, when I lost the original.speaking of, super7 chrome dome when
>>11238372They changed the clock medallion to a pizza, changed what his brass knuckles say, changed the text on his pants, gave him a different shirt with different texture, changed the belt emblem, changed the accessories. its a lot. Its not bad for what it is but its definitely not a 1-1 recreation like previous figures were.
>>11238411huh, i didn't notice. he still reminded me of the toy I had.That is disappointing, but I hope they take this opportunity to get CREATIVE.make POSITIVE changes. -improvements- to the old ones. Hell what if we got something similar to playmates usagi / space usagi, but with faces that actually look more like in the comics? I'd call that an upgrade. Maybe includes a softgoods kimono to wear over his weird blue rattan vest.god, I should ask super7 if they would hire me as a designer. I'm not as good as that previous studio, but I think I'm 90% there.
>>11238419>but I hope they take this opportunity to get CREATIVE.Have you not seen the figures they've made that have no Playmates figure to pull from? They are not good at being creative.
>>11238432hence me saying "I hope they" rather than "they have been"tenses are tough, right?they need to hire designers. use the old ones.
>>11238377>speaking of, super7 chrome dome whenI have bad news, buddy
>>11238555you have no news! he's comin...
>>11235127>Retro movie Foot Ninja, movie Super ShredderDoes this mean Movie Star Tokka and Rashad have not been released yet?
>>112385942 waves in a row not based on the Playmates line. Unless there's an unused 2003 Chrome Dome design that they can pilfer I think your only modern option is the big Chrome Dome from NECA.
>>11238823>Movie Star Tokka and RashadThe iconic duo
Do you guys even collect toys?
>>11238895So frequently that the dopamine hit I used to get with a new batch has been burnt out. I have half of Super 7s wave 7 just sitting on the floor unopened because I don't feel anything from it anymore.
shit i think tatsu is available at walmart.com now. at least, they let me put the order through. let's see what happens.
>>112388272 waves in a row?also who cares what's coming for the next two or even five waves, it can still happen later.
>>11239118Unless Playmates has a change of heart. It won't.And let's be honest, Super7 is not in the healthiest of places right now either.
>>11239125playmates had a change of fartthey can do them now just slightly modifiedand if they appeared in other media they can do them just the way they are.
>>11239143>slightlyHeavily. Meaning they're not worth it anymore.
>>11239146worth it to me
Anybody here preorder the JoyToy Turtles off 5ktoys? I'm freaking out that I may have missed the second payment window.
I've basically lost any small hope I may have once had, probably years ago at this point, that Super7 would ever get to even all of my favorite TMNT figures, let alone getting out a somewhat complete vintage collection. And since they refuse to even comment on it in a satisfactory way, I can't imagine anyone is coming to a different conclusion.
>>11239147I just don't want you to get your hopes up. Playmates has been aggressively shitty since they realized the old designs with modern tech were a gold mine, but in typical Playmates fashion would rather shit out a half-assed version themselves instead of just licensing the concept out to Super 7 to do it better. >>11239194I imagine they're not ALLOWED to comment on it if they want to keep the licenses they have. Those bums at Playmates got lucky in the 80s and have made it the customers problem every decade since.
The Mondo vinyls are carded, cute.
>>11239298This art though, this kicks ass (and spits in the face of Playmates I guess?)
>>11239190I ordered off of 5k but haven’t received a second payment notification either anon
>>11239301I think Playmates mostly dogs after what they perceive as competition to their cheap, shoddy rereleases. Mondo vinyls are a different kind of collectible so they probably don't really give a shit about art usage on the packaging.
>>11236042Post this in the /motu/ thread. I'm sure people over there would want to see these.
>>11239216yeah I know. The idea that we'll never get another good one is absolutely possible, and I'm preparing myself for itbut I'm still hoping
>>11239216Lucky doesn't begin to cover it.. they were about to go out of business, and NOBODY else would fund TMNT.>>11239301i think art like this is able to skirt rules, so whatever the problem was with sgt bananas...
>>11239344i don't see how they think ANYONE would buy a super7 over a playmates reissue. they are completely different, the super7s are not sold in stores, and they're 5 times as expensive.
>>11239369They have always been incredibly out of touch and miserly, it's why their shitty company was about to go bankrupt before they gambled on turtles. Had they not been desperate they would NEVER have gone along with the toyline, and that incredibly cheap and conservative mindset has caused their company to dwindle for decades.
>>11235127The Fury Samurai figures are my favorites in a long time. A little disappointed in Summer if he doesn't get the Kabuto helmet, but I'm interested to see how Winter is designed.
What’s with all the Super7 negativity? They’re finally delivering long awaited waves and they turned out great. That Rat King that was just posted a couple days ago looks like the best RK yet. I’m excited to see where they go from here.
>>11239450I mean how many other rat king figures have there been.. that's not saying muchbut yeah I'm excited for him.
>>11239450The hot Rat King head still is a little too glossy like their human figs usually are, but credit where its due, Rat King looks great.>I’m excited to see where they go from here.2k3 era.
>>11239472yes yes, but after that.honestly i could have been tempted by the 2k3s if they kept the playmates aesthetic going, making them more than just.. show-accurate. I get why they went that route because nobody ELSE is doing that, but they would have fit a lot better on the shelf that way. could do crossovers between universes.
>>11239450>and they turned out greatWave 7 really is lackluster at best. It was a 2 year wait for more of Super7's mundane attempt at toys. There's still loose hips on the figures (Guerilla Gorilla is huge but he can't hold his weapons, and the bazooka makes him fall over). It's just a culmination of their lack of knowing how to make proper action figures.And then if you ignore those as "well they were still old figures" you can jump to wave 10 with exceptionally badly designed figures like Karai and April. They have reference on how to do good toys all around them, very tons of companies. But they're stuck in this bubble.
>>11239450>That Rat King that was just posted a couple days ago looks like the best RK yet.Oh well that's definitely not true
>>11239586It's called an opinion. I know you struggle with ones that are different to yours, but it is time you grew up and accepted the reality of the world that people are allowed to like things that you don't like, and not use your endless disagreements with other anon's opinions as an excuse to bump the thread with comments that have literally no content other than your endless contrarianism with no justification behind your opinion.>tl;drYour comments are just you saying "nuh-uh" like a child.
>>11239450>looks like the best RK yetLol, not even.
>>11239472Look at the whole figure, it's still glossy. The browns are so pale because they're dyeing plastic, not painting. It gives them their signature glossy/waxy appearance. There's two or three hits of actual paint. And the articulation is still as bad as ever. I don't think the elbows even get full range...They begged Playmates to be able to do a figure closer to the vintage only to put out more of status quo.
>>11239585I haven't had that issue with my Sgt. Donkey Kong, but I can't get him to hold the bazooka in the way I want. His hips were solid for me though, a first for the line.
>>11239585Closer to a 3 year wait on wave 7. No explanation ever offered either.
>>11239693Ok and what about Donnie’s lab and the first turtles two pack? People waited months with no updates despite saying they’re shipping. Every company has delays.
>>11239702Bitch, fuck off with that whataboutism shit. Super7 delays are not like that and are in fact worse and detrimental to the health of the line. It shows a lack of control that Super7 has over the product, over the factories, and how amateur they somehow still are 11 waves of toys in.You are pathetic.
>>11239702Apples to oranges. One is a few months delay at most caused by a shipping system screw up after they changed over to a new setup (source nerdzoic). Something they're actively fixing and making up for. The other is waves constantly out of order and one wave in particular disappearing for two entire years. Yes, delays happen, that is true, but Super7 is on another level. And instead of fixing things they cover their ears and move ahead.
>>11239190Haha!Again, I cry out into the void of the internet and the gods of e-commerce answer my call! I swear, every time I post here about being unsure of the status of a preorder, I get some shipping confirmation within a few hours.So, anyone waiting on 5ktoys, you should get those second payment requests, because I did at midnight est.
>>11239728>The other is waves constantly out of order and one wave in particular disappearing for two entire years.4H had a massive delay with the Poxxus wave resulting in it releasing well over a year past it's eta (and I think the preorder for that went up around the same time as S7 wave 7, end of 2021 when Covid was still fucking shit up) and they also moved waves up in production resulting in things being released out of order. It doesn't ameliorate Super7's past fuck ups and constant QC issues, but I don't think it is a coincidence that these waves from seperate (but somewhat linked) companies were both delayed for so long.
>>11239585wait, do the weapons not fit in his hands or is it merely a balance issue you're having?karai and april really are lackluster.
>>11239842The hands have THICK fingers so to get anything in them you have to heat and warp them because the handles are also VERY large. Also I stand corrected on my statement >>11239676 here, as soon as I took him out of the cabinet to take the hand picture his hips gave out like the rest, almost 0 friction.
>>11239676>>11239852ahhhh. yeah those handles don't look like a good shape either. I'm only getting this guy on a reeeal heavy discount. and i'm gonna be interested in whether there's such a thing as a dye marker, because painting the hands would just have the paint rub off when you put the weapons in.>>11239722i mean nobody is denying they don't have control
>>11239902I don't even want to try to take the gun out, paint scrapes I can't see can't hurt me.
>>11239940the fingies look unpainted to m- oh you mean the gun
my Tatsu is shipping aaa I think this is happeningscalpers can just sit and spin
Uh oh, if you get an extra lab in your box be on the lookout for an email from NECA. If you return it, you get store credit, but if you don't they might ban you from the online store. I hope nobody cracked their extras open before they got this.
>>11240201It's going to be so funny seeing people cry and freak out and then get destroyed for it. Love it.
>>11240201I got an extra and randy can piss up a rope, their shipping error is not my problem
>>11240220It is your problem, you're a thief.
>>11240220Going to be nice watching you suffer
>>11240227I’ve sworn off the N*ca store, I’m only buying from BBTS now so their threats of limiting my access won’t hurt me. I could just create a new account with a different address if I change my mind, so what leverage does malding randy have over me anyhow
>>11240231Tick tock, the walls are closing in. Suffer, suffer, suffer.
>>11240201on one hand, that's a very polite way to handle something like this, at a time when a slight problem can tank a company or even an industryon the other hand, they have no legal recourse here whatsoever, and they really needn't have put in a threat, even one as toothless as that. you are 100% within your rights to be an asshole and sell the second one online. And then someday when someone else fucks _you_ over, you'll sit going 'why me?'
>>11240242I'm glad they put the threat in, honestly. People need to learn they can't get away with stuff like that. Toy collectors are a shitty bunch.
>>11240221Actually it's legally the recipients, it's come up a few times in the last decade since shopping online is now the norm. I'd rather take the extra credit on the store but if >>11240220 doesn't want to abide by their request it is his right to do so. I wonder how widespread it is, if they had to send notices out to people. Maybe a system error screwed with the counts showing up on the packing orders?
>>11240246I hope they bring the full force of the law down on him, it'll be rightfully deserved it seems.
>>11240247>full force of the lawSo, nothing? Because its not illegal?
>>11240251It is
>>11240252Oh, you're one of THOSE anons
>>11240201Someone in this very thread said that the claims of anons receiving extra labs were lies and that NECA don't make mistakes like this. One day he will learn to shut the fuck up, but it appears today is not that day.>>11240242This is the most based take in response to this incident. Nobody is legally required to return it, and NECA are within their right to ban anyone from their store who doesn't return it. The most important thing to remember is that karma is a bitch.
>>11240265They are legally require to return it. And it'll be so fun listening to you complain about being banned for you deciding to keep stolen product.
>>11240267Your knowledge of the law is as great as your knowledge of the toy industry. Nonexistent.The reason why they are using a $100 voucher as a carrot on a stick is because they have absolutely NO LEGAL RECOURSE.I didn't order the shoe box with free foam board, so I won't be banned. Like I said, one day you will learn to shut the fuck up and stop making ridiculous assertions that prove you have no idea what you are talking about.
>>11240267https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/business-guide-ftcs-mail-internet-or-telephone-order-merchandise-ruleThat doesn't appear to be the case per the FTC. In the US, at least.
>>11240231he bluffing you are in the clear and randy is the one who suffer he will step down as neca vp in disgrace living out of his toy store within a year keep the bernini lab as trophy proof of your victory over neca
>>11240273Oh hey, it's everyone's favorite bot that doesn't buy toys and is always around to shitpost when it's not needed.
>>11240270Seems like you're the one that is making insane assertstions. The voucher is to make up for the trouble of it all, they absolutely have legal recourse and hopefully your dumb ass gets locked away for good. Scum like you deserve suffering.
>>11240270Oh hey, look at that, he said the thing, he said "shoe box" ha ha. Just like his hero, Mad Hatter...even though he owns it and loves it. Sorry everyone turned on you.
>>11240271>It is unlawful to:>2. Try to obtain payment for or the return of the unordered merchandise.Imagine that. Keeping the unordered merchandise isn't illegal. Sending this email out demanding the return of it is illegal. If >>11240220 really wants to fuck Randy in all of his holes, I hope he forwards this email to the FTC.
>>11240279The FTC'd side with NECA, since he's keeping stolen product. So, go on, do it. It'll be funny seeing him get screwed for trying to fuck with NECA.
>>11240279I will own a piece of Neca and his homes before this is all said and done. You should have let me just scalp the extra lab and left me alone, randy!
>>11240284You're going to jail, and you're going to cry and beg for mercy.
>>11240201KEK neca fucking blows
>>11240280>stolen productYou don't seem to understand what words mean.Read >>11240271 again. Read it a dozen times, and let it really sink in.>It is unlawful to:>2. Try to obtain payment for or the return of the unordered merchandise.Read it again. Keep reading for the next half hour until you go to bed, and sleep on it until your brain can piece it together.
>>11240289Yeah, the guy is a thief and I'm glad NECA is going after him.
>>11236158>this line doesn't suckIt sucks that it's US exclusive>>11236042>Bring on the next wave.Bring on the first wave
>>11240295>Bring on the first waveIt's weird that they didn't restock it, isn't it? I never picked up the Leo and never saw it come back anywhere. I wonder what the hell is going on, because it seemed like starting with wave 2 they picked up production. More stores were carrying it and more toys were just...out.
>>11240291Read >>11240271 again.>Moreover, customers who receive unordered merchandise are legally entitled to treat the merchandise as a gift.The Lab is legally considered a gift. The email sent out asking for it's return is illegal. Hopefully Randy will be allowed to run Yestertoys as an online shop from his cell on Rikers while he's getting his sphincter prolapsed by Bubba.
>>11240301Hey man, you're the one that's going to be banned from their site and face legal issues. That's all on you now. Good luck.
>>11240246incompetence is the norm now, and we're going to see an unraveling of all the systems that it turns out relied on having brain cells>>11240265damn right. the lord does shield us from some of the repercussions of our actions, but not all of them. and definitely not from ~others'~ actions. The hardest thing to do is realize everyone has the power to fuck with you, and choose not to make it worse.
>>11240308>the lord does shield us from some of the repercussions of our actions, but not all of themA spiritual man, very nice.
>>11240304Your brain seems to be having trouble processing information, because I already told you I didn't order it. I can make a more structurally stable diorama for under a hundred dollarydoos. One with a road level that can actually hold the weight of the Turtle Van and the giant Krang that's coming. Can your foam board do that?
>>11240295worldwide distribution of toys really needs to improve. the companies would make billions more dollars if it was as easy to give foreigners american toys as it was american tv shows and movies.
>>11240304We do not come to treat with Randulf, faithless and accursed. Tell your master this: The ambassadors of Neca must disband. Randy is to depart these lands, never to return.
>>11240310You sure are complaining a lot about something you claim not to have ordered.
>>11240316Foreign countries make it hard to get toys in, so blame those governments. Blame their silly rules and regulations. The world is not one place no matter how often they try to pretend.
>>11240320we've got the worst of those though, haven't we?japan has trouble selling their shit here, not vice versayou have a fucking good point though. europe is finding out the hard way how badly massive multi-national governments work out in real life.
>>11236372>>11236442>>11236553I realize most of you anons want a reproduction of your original toy, but I'm so glad they decided to keep sexy rat king for the fans of the game / memes
>>11240323Yeah but if we're being honest it doesn't even look like the game. So they kinda...failed there as well.
>>11240323yeah! keep the best of both worlds, why not? give people options. that's what Ultimates have been about from the start. you can have turtles like the old toys, or you can have general kinda 2003esque heads that can work with anything.I do wish they had given us a normal Splinter head instead of JUST the one based on the original toy's painting mistake. buuut I don't want the pupils...
>>11238374>>11238377I want 2003 belly shirt april and goro shredder, alas.
>>11240324i would say that it looks like a playmates-ified version of the game design. The game was going for a stylized, toonier version of the cartoon designs, so it made sense to translate that to a bit mroe realistic for the gritty sculpted playmates style.
>>11240328I just want Splinter cause he's sexy.
>>11240328you know, I would put serious consideration toward any of shredder's various mech suits, and honestly several of his costume-modifications were gorgeous.. it'd be easy to headcanon them as just different suits for good ol blue-helmet purple-cape shredder to wear. or robot duplicates he made.
>>11239446>but I'm interested to see how Winter is designed.I'm fucking hyped for the demon dog king notshredder despite having nothing to go off of besides notdonnie and notsplinter
>>112403302k3 splinter? the guy who shows 4kids has no idea how to draw animals? I dunno manI mean i have nothing against a version of Splinter being gray, and on paper it's not a bad design overall, but... he's too goofy and angular, with big looney tunes ass three-toed feet with big claws. It kinda depended on the artist, and I would hope s7 would go very stylized with him.
>>11240335I mean he's no 2012 Splinter, but I wouldn't say no. I just liked his look. He's probably the fourth on the list of hot Splinters. 2012 being tops, then Fred Wolf, and then Mako Splinter.
>>11240324I mean they were going for something in the middle, not quite the game and different enough to appease playmates. I admit he's not quite the game's version, but the head will sell it on the shelf. I'm planning on sexy rat king being the jekyll to neca rat king's hyde for my personal headcanon display, so I'm grateful for the "normal human" head option. >>11240325I really was disappointed that rocksteady, bebop, baxter, or splinter didn't come with modernized heads like the turtles did. I've mentioned it before but wingnut's modern head is fucking awesome in hand, and I bought Ace Duck JUST because the classic cigar chomping cartoon character vibe hit me right in the nostalgia, and then I ended up liking him in hand. Seriously, alt heads should be the number one accessory for a line like this.
>>11240347The alt heads have been superior by every measurable metric, true.
>>11240328give me the full sized 2003 leatherhead you cowards
>>11240352I'm looking forward to NECA's big ass 2012 Leatherhead. He's gonna be a monster.
>>11240337huh, that toy looks a LOT better than his first one hey, what? if you're ranking the ratdads by hotness then you have completely missed kevin clash splinter, the best one.
>>11240347i love the idea of him changinghopefully the neck peg doesn't fight you on that.>>11240347>rocksteady and bebopi guess could have had more anthropomorphized, more cartoonlike heads... but I think those guys were already straining the budget with their size (and their weapons forgot to scale up with them)>baxterwhat do you think a modernized head for him would look like? more anatomically correct fly?>>11240351sewer samurai leo's menpou is inspired. i'd use it, but.. i already broke one of them trying to do that. got a refund, not gonna push my luck.
>>11240317Nice.>>11240328>2003 belly shirt aprilPeople give 2k3 shit, but tummy April just confirms their lack of taste.>>11240352Leatherhead was when I dropped the 2k3 line. Such a disappointing manlet. Croclet? Gatorlet? My point is he was tiny and I stopped caring.>>11240354They had better give him a rage face with whited out eyes and a hand that can grab Donnie by the face.
>>112403702k3 april is one "cut off the giant toph bun and just have cute short hair" away from being the best april.and yeah playmates' ignoring scale is so retarded. they just needed to bring back mega mutants, like killer bee and needlenose. make leatherhead one of that size class.
>>11240371>and yeah playmates' ignoring scale is so retardedThey did the same with 2012. I was so ready to buy Slash, but my disappointment was immeasurable.
Anybody else receive one of these? I didn’t even get an extra lab…
>>11240378They sent this to you and you didn't even get an extra lab?You can email them and explain that, but they might not believe you. The fact they are trying to get people to return unordered merchandise at all is illegal, as linked in this >>11240271 post. It might be time to report them to the FTC and BBB. This is really showing how unprofessional the entire company is.
>>11240378You better send back your other one then or else you’ll be banned from the store.
