Anybody ever find out more info as to why the 1/6 scale license for the movie turtles doesn't belong to anyone? Is it really just Playmates with the stranglehold on them? Have they ever spoken about it publicly? I think they said that it's contractual. Playmates has the rights to TMNT in 6 inch scale at retail. Any 6 inch figures made by other companies needs to be an online only/convention exclusive. It can't be a mass retail distribution. As much as I would be interested in 6 inch scale movie figures....after having the 1/4 NECA ones for a while now....I don't think that much detail could be squeezed into the smaller scale. The shading on the skin, the detail on the eyes, the shell....even something like the yellowing and dirt on the finger and toe nails....It's just not going to be as impressive. I'd probably still buy 6 inch movie figures....but the 1/4 scale NECA ones are my holy grail of TMNT. If they go ahead with the planned movie Shredder, I'll get that in a heartbeat as well. I hear you on that. Honestly even with the lost detail if they're anything close to what NECA puts out for 6 inch scale they would basically be my dream toys. Don't get me wrong I love the 1/4 scale because we have them and they're amazing but I'd gladly flip those to someone who wants them more for a 6 inch scale. We could both get our holy grails then . I'm right there with you, though. NECA wrote on instagram that we should see Shredder at SDCC...so maybe by the end of the year? I'll definitely get him. - Tom

Looks like this year’s SDCC exclusive from NECA is gonna be a movie figs. Hopefully we get 4 turtles and 4 other figs. Guessing they couldn’t do any of the actors’ likeness so maybe we get Splinter, Shredder, Masked Casey, and a Foot Soldier.

Looks a lot better than the TRU Exclusive Playmates from a few years back. I’ll have to add these to those and the arcade and the cartoon ones. FYI: Online preorders are 6/6 - 6/8 at 1pm EST. Limited quantities each day and they go quick.

Just noticed it also comes with a diorama. Damn, it’s $250.

So seems like there's the diorama version and just the turtles for a difference of 100 bucks. This is wild! I've been waiting for this since I was 4 I may never need toys again after this ever again!
This is both extremely concerning and very exciting!

This is both extremely concerning and very exciting! Yeah, just the Turtles is $125, Turtles and Diorama is $250. Although the diorama is cool, I don’t think it’s worth the extra $125, plus I don’t think I have the room for such a large display piece. I’ll just be getting the Turtles. That said, it would be cool to display the arcade, cartoon, and movie figures on each level.

Excuse me can someone call an ambulance? I just passed out after seeing those turtles.
Funny how a couple months ago I was just a few clicks from ordering the 1/4 turtles. Now I can get all 4 for the price of 1 and have more display space. The diorama is cool but I’ll pass on that. I think at Toy Fair they were saying they designed the diorama to basically work with any figures in terms of scale and general look.

I was thinking this too and everyone seems to be salty on it. Definitely understandable. The good news there is if you hang onto those for a while they will probably go up in value because of the limited run on these (at least for now). Even the SDCC Turtles sets from last year are already limited and almost impossible to find at a decent price - the larger ones are still going to be people's only accessible option. It's for sure a hassle and maybe not $400 bucks back in your pocket but it's better than $0 and items you don't want. To be honest I had a feeling these would be coming this year. Too excited to care about the wasted cash haha. Maybe will just give the big ones to an actual kid? I had an Iron Man that size when I was like 8 or 9 that I loved.

This might legitimately be the easiest $125 I've ever spent on figures.
I totally get people being pissed who bought the big versions. I pre-ordered all 4 but decided to get Mikey first and then decided if I wanted the others. I love Mikey, I think he's awesome, but it's a ginormous figure and 6-7" is my favorite. NECA did say they couldn't make the smaller scale and I think that sold a lot of people on the 18" figures. So this comes off looking a bit underhanded, even if unintentional.
Now I just hope I can get a set. If I absolutely have to, I'll spend the $250 to get them but I'm hoping by day 2 I can lock one down. 5000 isn't a very big run based on what I think the demand is for these figures. Pretty much dream come true level sh*t for a ton of fans.

Has there ever been a premium Casey Jones figure? I know people complain about not getting Shredder, Krang, Beebop, and Rocksteady in various sets but it seems like Casey is the one constant that never gets made. Hoping NECA eventually finds a spot for him somewhere. Maybe next year we get a Casey Jones 4 pack consisting of Comic, Original Cartoon, Movie, and ?? (03 Cartoon, 2012 Cartoon, 2016 Movie, video game).
