i mean, thats great. but it still doesnt LOOK like the playmates van, which is odd, considering it's crystal clear Super7's style of the Turtles is 100% replication of the Playmates line.

Comparison photo: Apart from the original being slightly different colors, they look very similar to me. Stickers are gonna be applied wherever, so I’m totally missing the details that make them look as different as people have suggested.

I got the SDCC Channel 6 set in from NECA this week. The packaging is top notch.

Anybody know the status of the Lori crate with movie Danny? Still not bad any notification on mine and I swear it was meant to be sent months ago. I recall seeing a delay notice, but this is some delay now.

It might be a delay, I know most people got their movie April already and I haven’t yet.

Yeah, you should've gotten it awhile ago. The arcade crate is starting to ship now.

NECA truly has the worst shipping service of any major company I've ordered from. The shipping label for my SDCC Channel 6 was printed on 11/24 and hasn't been updated since. I think I went three weeks between the Danny loot crate shipping label being printed and finally leaving their warehouse. Do they have like 1 person shipping all this out?

After still not being able to find Retro Donatello, I made good on my own threats and ordered 2 Leos off of Walmart just to see what I get. If I accidentally get Donatello, great! If not, I will def take one of the Leos back. that's crazy Donatello was the first one I found in store and saw him multiple times. Only Raphael was the only turtle who I had issues finding and when I did there was multiples of him and no one else. I think I saw Mikey and Leo twice. Still want to maybe get an extra set if ever found them as another poster mentioned earlier the packaging def has that old look.

New turtles in the style guide colors, with the swap out faces from the Disguise set. Good to see they keep getting the turtles themselves out there.

More accurately, the colors the animators would base their art on for the show. The second Target two-packs with the turtles in pairs were in this color scheme. Also, most (if not all) retro-themed toon turtle merch, shirts, mugs, posters, etc you’ll find today will have these colors.

They just did, well the turtles at least. The disguise set is the same colors as the first release. It was on their store for a preorder a while back, and I’m sure it’ll get another release since NECA knows they can’t carry this line without making turtles available.

Looks like Super7 Donatello shipped from Big Bad. I’m happy to finally get the team together.

Has anyone gotten their movie April from the NECA preorders? I’ve seen some people with theirs, but I’m not sure if they were all supposed to be fulfilled yet or if they were still delivering some. I haven’t got any information on mine yet.

I ordered two Walmart Retro Leos hoping to accidentally get a Donatello. Got two Leos. Learned my lesson. But that now makes me Doubley wonder: What is up with Retro Donatello?!!! Why he is the incredibly shortpacked one? All the others have come up multiple times for shipping, EXCEPT HIM. Toynewsi reported that we are getting more retro sets; a Retro Sports set and a 2012 set... toynewsi.com/216-40700IF this release strategy continues, there are a few sets I would get... 1. A TMNT3 set: the 4 Turtles, Warlord, and either April, Princess Mitsu, or Walker. I had Warlord, April, and Princess Mitsu as a kid and would love to have some time scepters again. 2. I would gladly buy a The Next Mutation set, the 4 Turtles, Venus, and Dragon Lord

I saw a few TMNT/Cobra Kai 2 packs today. When will this end? I think they've milked this for all it's worth.

And start thinking "what if that actually happened". A Netflix exclusive movie? Perhaps it opens with double shots/side screens of Danny LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence and their students on buses going to a tournament in NYC. As they are going, both warn their kids of how weird New York can be "aliens, mutants, mutant aliens...." Perhaps it starts off live action, like an ep of Cobra Kai. But when they cross into NY city limits, it morphs into the 80s cartoon animation. Perhaps you find out that Kreese is a former student of Shredder? But it won't happen. TMNT is Paramount/Nick, while The Karate Kid franchise is Sony.

My Super7 Donatello has been sitting in another state since the weekend. Hopefully it moves soon.
NECA also sent me an email that Ace Duck and Mutagen Man are on the way, so that’ll be another cool set.
