My turtles came yesterday. Really really really awesome. I have the 1/4 scale ones as well and I never imagined that they would be able to cram all that detail from the 1/4 scale into 7 inch figures....but they did it. They don't seem to be lacking anything, as far as I can tell.
Maybe the eyes aren't as glossy and lifelike on the 7 inch ones, and obviously the bandanna's are plastic rather than cloth like on the 1/4 scales....but that's me really stretching to find some differences. Other than that, they seem 1:1 with the 1/4 scale figures in every way. No details excluded.
Now I'm sort of torn on what direction to go in.....I obviously am going to want 1/4 scale Shredder....but in the future are they going to go 7 inch TMNT SDCC exclusives with Shredder, Foot Soldier(s) and possibly other wanted characters? I didn't want to have to collect parallel 1/4 and 7 inch scale sets...but here we are, lol.
But yeah....just super super SUPER impressed by these.

My Turtles were scheduled to be delivered on Monday but according to the tracking a derailment caused a delay. Tracking show that they were scheduled to come in today. Now I got an email saying they’re coming tomorrow.
The wait hurts. Especially since in that same package is the Guillermo Del Toro figure I got for my friend. I hoped to send it out to her so she would have it in time for a medical test she was having. She already had the test now, so that idea is out the window.

Whats everyones thoughts on these? I just bought the sdcc 2017 set with shredder and the foot soldiers, i would buy these too if they were painted solid colors instead of the pixelated snes versions Really hoping they make Android Krang, bebop and rocksteady in this style.

What can I say, everything about what Neca did with that is a thing of beauty. Why oh why Playmates couldn't you give us this back when I was a kid lol. They are doing simply amazing work and the Neca movie Turtles should already be in the lead for figures of the year so far.

What do you think the chances are they make bebop and rocksteady in this scale and break the curse of the main 4 good guys and main 4 bad guys never being released by one company since the 80s

I would love to finally see some toon accurate Rocksteady and Bebop figures besides the little classic Mega Bloks ones. Bebop faired a bit better with the figures but Rocksteady always looked was too mean and vicious compared to the loveable, soft goofball he became on the show. He only really was that mean and nasty in the very early episodes. I think Playmates came closest with the Superhero Bebop and Rocksteady figure sculpts.

One thing I've always had trouble with is figuring out what they have in the pipeline/where their figures are discussed. They leak some things on Instagram sometimes but that seems to be it. That's probably the best bet and just waiting until around Con time to see what's in store. Weird and not at all like here (where frankly everyone is spoiled) but the only thing I've been able to find.

That would be incredible I would love to see the rest of the animated series main cast complete in the style they made the 2017 sdcc set Android Krang Bebop Rocksteady Baxter Stockman Splinter Casey Jones April Metal head On a side note, i just seen this picture on google by searching "Android krang". It seems krang is a custom but what i really want to know is where are those Bebop and Rocksteady figures from?
