>>11589228You are such a fucking whiny bitch
>first Neca vault>charging scalper pricesLMAO seriously? At least last year they kept it to normal retail prices.
Apparently Walmart is selling the NECA Tokka and Rahzar two pack again.
>>11589254yephttps://www.walmart.com/ip/Neca-Tokka-and-Rahzar-Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-TMNT-Movie-8-Inch-Action-Figure-2-Pack/250835632?sid=7668227e-7d9e-4964-af80-0bf1861bbcd1
>>11589245who buys this shit? lmao
>>11589228There is such a thing as over-saturating the market. Star Wars did it, and so did He-Man. I guess ninja turtles will figure that out. Something's only valuable when it's rare and precious. Overproduction cheapens everything.
>>11589263Scalpers thinking it'll be worth a fortune in the future will be the main buyers. What that means in reality is you can expect to see it sitting in comic book shops rotting for the next decade.
>>11589271Good. Better there be lots of TMNT than none.
>>11589263I’m really not sure, especially at $75.>but hurr durr that’s what they go for nowI don’t give a fuck, NECA released figures worth $100+ last year around Christmas and they were charging their roughly $35 retail price. And while that was higher than what they originally were at the time for some of the older figures, it was at least justifiable. NECA should not be charging $75 for these vault releases, plain and simple. The whole point is that these are supposed to better priced than current going rates, but they’re basically the same.
>>11589228>noooooooo stop making toys that make money!!!! Nooooo!!! It's not faaair I don't like that, stooooop!!!!
>>11589280The flood of competitors all doing turtles doesn't make the retail prices any cheaper when it actually should. So where's the benefit?
>>11589245>charging scalper pricesScalping figures for his scalp again?l.
>>11589245>>11589263>>11589307Not to mention they’re dropping them one at a time every hour to get people on shipping fees. Last year they all dropped at the same time each day and you could combine them. Sneaky NECA.
>>11589319Sneaky nothing. They're fighting off scalpers and bots this way.
>>11589298>So where's the benefit?You get any version of TMNT you could ever want. Why are you whining about having so many choices?
>>11589335>fighting off scalpers by charging scalper prices???
>>11589335Scalpers will just sell for even-higher prices. >>11589340>Why are you whining about having so many choices?Because said high prices for everything with too much to choose from all at once.
>>11589335Was that the IT guy's solution to fighting off bots? Charge the same price as scalpers, and only release one figure per hour so customers can't combine shipping? Almost as good as asking random customers to send a selfie of them holding a photo ID?
>>11589353You really are a whiny bitch
>>11589353> Almost as good as asking random customers to send a selfie of them holding a photo ID?Did NECA do this before?
>>11589408Yes. It's one of their recent information technology innovations.https://www.reddit.com/r/NECA/comments/1njco0k/first_time_buying_a_figure_from_neca_is_this/Hatter also reported on it.https://youtu.be/koeS8TIyS4c
New reveals
>>11589424>>11589429>>11589431>>11589434These are based on a short movie where the Turtles find out that their likeness is being exploited by a shady toy company. Where is the toy company located? You'd neva guess.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles:_Chrome_Alone_2_%E2%80%93_Lost_in_New_Jersey
>>11589454Holy shit that can’t be coincidental
>>11589424>>11589429>>11589431>>11589434Goddamn, I want these so bad. kek and oh shit, pants.
>>11589459Holy shit, it is coincidental.
>>11589468Name another toy company in New Jersey that makes TMNT.
>>11589434>>11589431>>11589429>>11589424I miss Rise
>>11589424>>11589429>>11589431>>11589434Why are they milking it?
>>11589459.... I don't get it. Is it because of all the Indians in NJ that are techbro scammers?
>>11589541NECA is based in New Jersey
>>11589541Jersey is considered a shady place, rival to New York most of the time. It's a reference to all the bootleg shit you can get on the boardwalk.
>>11589549Which has nothing to do with that. Use that little brain of yours.
I have never understood the appeal of this.
>>11589580People like Halloween
>>11589580>>11589585Tempted if they do April.
>>11589580People like old off-model kitsch and Ben Cooper was that ratcheted to eleven. I actually like Shredder and B&R more, they have that obscure key art on them.
>>11589580Nostalgia for cheap vinyl smocks.
>>11589580The target audience for these were the ones wearing these along with the entire class during their golden years of pure blissful ignorance. Wish I was old enough to experience that era. By the 90s were alreay headed for the end of the US empire and the time of plenty.
>>11589550Or just that Jersey is a lousy place. They've made that joke before.
>>11588984ooooh hulky proportions.. not sure why the rocket exhaust is so wide, but.. nnneat.>>11588985that doesnt look perfect but it looks okay!>>11588987so bizarre to see this LICENSED now.>>11588988his head is too small and too realistic (and it's also a crocodile and not an alligator) but still!>>11589108haaaa. fanny pack.
>>11589254>>11589262i feel dumb for buying from a scalper, but I'm happy for everyone who missed out.
>>11589424wait what>>11589454so... tmnt did a meta thing about bootleg toys? that's.. kinda brilliant. god, this is like when a simpsons season 30 episode does a clever thing
>>11589580me neither, but if shitty normies can give companies their money, and those companies can then make things we like.. then it's okay I guess?
Is NECA gonna have a panel or anything or have we basically seen everything? Kinda underwhelming if so.
>>11590047NYCC has always been a smaller con, but they always put more stuff out as the days go on.
Mezco teases foot clan soldiers
>>11590206Woopdee doo
>>11590206>no strapso will the strap be softgoods or... hmm..well as long as it's more proportional than the super7 version
>>11589580We know, you tell us every thread.
>>11590384i haven't seen these, or other similarly bizarre 'who would want this' toys, brought up since like, 8 threads ago
>>11589580They scale alright next to some of the horror figures, so they look good around a Michael Myers figure.
>>11589424>>11589429>>11589431>>11589431>>11589434I wonder if the muscular design of the toys are a jab at he-man?
>>11590512It's an homage to the old TMNT knockoff figures. The earliest ones (like SOOOOO many other KO lines) used a 5.5 inch muscular body similar to the sculpt MOTU made famous.
>>11590206>mezcoshit
>>11590679I’m not a huge fan of Mezco’s other stuff, but their turtles are widely considered to be some of the best TMNT figures ever made
>>11590713Nobody actually thinks that, however
>>11590719Do you actually own them? Or are you just speaking for other people?
>>11590723>I'm not a huge fan of mezco I'm just speaking for other people who collect girly dolls
>>11590723I do, actually. They're overpriced $40 figures at best.
>>11590206I will never understand why most of toy companies even bother with Foot Soldiers. Especially those with overpriced toys.Foot Soldier is army builder first and foremost. You need at least two of them but ideally way way more.It's ok when playmates do them. Their toys are garbage but they are relatively cheap. You can easily build army of various foot for pennies.I can get neca's with their discount 2- and 4-packs.Loyal Subjects also made foot 4-pack that one time.But there are Super7, Joy Toy, LingJihun and now Mezco. Who in his right mind gonna buld army from 60-100$ figures.Instead of foot soldiers this companies sholud make Elite Guards. At least you need only four of those guys.
Well, at least shes not hideous fat ugo. I don't get why they go straight to black and not mixed race which would make more sence for diversity. Why not latina asian mix?
>>11591052what the FUCK hasbro
>>11591052Even if they want to ignore the millions of fan tributes to 87 cartoon April and use Eastman's ancient comment as holy text, she should be mulatto then. Whatever, I'm tired, China will give me white Aprils.
>>11590670Turly Gang?
>>11591052Why
>>11591167They're based on Rise. Again.
>>11590206L-O-L, here's your foot soldier! Holy fuck, what were they THINKING?
>>11591052seriously, racially ambiguous april is best aprili wanna be fucking confused about her ethnicity>>11591190well. that's,.. underwhelming.
>>11591052>mfw I see a black April
Mikey done gone full chinpokomon.
>>11591190Looks like he's at the barbershop lol
>>11591111>use Eastman's ancient comment as holy textThe funny part about that is that nobody can find the actual texts where he said it. Ironically, going by the official sources, Kevin made it pretty clear that April was just named after April Fisher, and didn't start looking exactly like her until issues later. But, I guess even Eastman's official statements doesn't fit the black April narrative.
>>11591492>>11591495
>>11591464i mean even if that was based on his old gf, that doesn't make her black. just like an octoroon.
>>11591495>hacktivistputting that combination of 10 letters in that order should give you a severe electrical sho- OW! fuckin, NOT ME, you idiot!
>>11591052Is that HBO Max Starfire?
>>11591052Yet Bebop is white in this pic
It's over.
>>11591808MM has been flooding Ollie's and Ross for like a year now. That's nothing new....Though I am tempted to see how much that costume 4-pack is...
Ben Cooper wave 11 is up for order on the neca store
>>11592118Another garbage from neca. Nothing new there. They not even trying anymore. Very sad and pathetic.Anyway, fellow tmnt chads, care to try to replicate this frame from future Battle Nexus comic with your toy collection? You do have all of them, right?
>>11592240Wow, they even have one of the anime versions. Thorough.
>>11592241and I do have that toy!
>>11592240Another garbage post from you. You're not even trying anymore. Very sad and pathetic.
>>11592118Ordered a set, I was really hoping we'd get TMNT ones when the line began, so this is great!
Can someone explain why this is $50?
>>11592269executives can't do math
>>11592269New tooling that can't be reused, paint apps, NYCC exclusive, etc. Are you new to toys or something?
>>11592273No, that would be you
>>11592267>>11592268Nice sameposting necatard. Do you really think some anons here are going to buy this trash if you will shill it.Now do you job and give some "witty" answer to this >>11592269 dude question. Defend your overlords at all cost.
>>11592276well let's see, which version of the business made more money..
>>11592274Don't forget taco's tariffs
>>11592280You're talking to two different people. Crazy how upset you are about people buying toys.
>>11592285Let's say I belive you. My bad.Now tell me please what are you going to do with this oh so cool and inspired action figures? Display them on your desk or shelf? Shove them in your ass? Make some funny photos and videos?Because I literally can't imagine any decent human being who's like or buy this garbage. It's even worse than fukno pops. Necatard I get it. He's just in dire need to shill his product no matter how awfull it's looking. But there literally no reason to buy it.So help me understand why you choose this.
>>11592282moron
>>11592274Why was Kevin Eastman last year $40 then?
>>11592323i like the chompy mouth...>>11592325the underbelly colors kinda go too far out.. but I guess he kinda works.
>>11592336You are aware the world went nuts and costs of producing, shipping, and receiving has gone UP since then right?
