I finally opened one of my TMNT/Cobra Kai 2packs. This is my first TMNT Classics figure. Man!!! The Mikey figure is Heavy AND Thick. Its amazing that it can stand up! I get that it is because of the shell, but at the same time, that shell takes up a lot of physical space for an action figure.

I got my Neutrinos and Usagi on Wednesday. I think this largely wraps up my Toon display. They’ve done so much of the specific stuff I was nostalgic about. Usagi in particular is a dream figure. I do have the 4th Loot Crate ordered with Dark Donny but who knows if that will ever ship. Most of my Turtles attention will now be on Super7, and then whatever additional movie figures we can get from the first two films from NECA.

Looks great all set up!

Just picked up April and Casey 2-pack at a local Walmart. The sticker said $30 clearance, but it rang up for $15.

in all my travels, i have never seen a NECA turtles thing on clearance at any Walmart I've seen it seldomly. The Xmas Gremlin 2-pack was $25.00 at one time, but I didn't pick them up. The Boys figures were $15.00, but I didn't pick them up. I found a Ghostface for $15.00, however I did purchase him. I've gotten Anniversary Super Shedder for $10.00 and Shadow Super Shedder for $19.00. I know Walmart does clearance, but rarely. Target, on the other hand, I've never seen a NECA figure with a clearance sticker. Also, posted in the Marvel thread. a couple of Walmart stores near me is during 50% of clearance prices on clearance toys.

Just finished watching the Rise... movie on Netflix. All I can ask is: Why do the toy lines get cancelled before all of the Future-set eps?!!! Figures from the Wasteland eps of the 2012 show would have been awesome; Wasteland Warrior Raph, Robot Donnie. In the Rise... movie... Mikey basically becomes the Dr. Strange of that universe. I want a figure of that!! A figure of Casey Jones would be cool, too. I would love it if Playmates started a 4 to 5in Classics/Multiverse-type line. So they could go back and make these figures. Perhaps even take newer characters and make them in the style of the original 80s figures. In other news, its been reported that the NECA exclusive Secret of the Ooze 4pack comes with a Dockshore Club diarama backdrop. It is the club that the TMNT defeated Tokka ans Rahzar in, with the cameo by Vanilla Ice. That has got internet people in an uproar. Does that mean we might be getting a Vanilla Ice figure in the future? I'd buy a Vanilla Ice in the 4 to 5in Classics/Multiverse-type line I suggested above.

I saw the diorama backdrop but I didn't see where anyone was asking for a Vanilla Ice. I'd believe it would have been asked already, I'm not positive at all but I'm sure someone MUST have thought "hey this could be money" I also saw where people are finding the Secret of the Ooze two-packs at Walmart. It's Leo/Raph and Mike/Don this time around.

I’ve had turtles in disguise on pre order for well over a year, I was asked if I wanted to wait or cancel about 4 months ago and I said I’d wait.
Since then and most recently today I’ve seen two of the “pre order updates” and there is now no mention of that set. Anyone else in the same boat or have any info on why it’s seemingly stopped being made? All the newer pre orders have updates and this one doesn’t?

I've been asking Randy for Vanilla Ice since the movie Turtles started. My biggest want. RVW is a huge Turtles fan. He'd absolutely love a figure of himself in the line. He lives in my town and does a free concert at least once a year at our community center. He ends with Ninja Rap and Ice Ice Baby. Love that guy.

Same here, paid for my set over a year ago, then when they emailed me earlier this year saying it was delayed another 9-months or whatever, I reluctantly decided to wait since I have no other way of getting it. Still getting the odd "update" email every so often, but they never mention that specific set. So who knows when or if I'll ever get what I paid for. I'm certainly never ordering from NECA again, absolutely ridiculous.

I have been thinking about the TMNT/Stranger Things 2packs we are getting towards the end of the year. Leo/Eleven Raph/Hopper Donatello/Lucas Mikey/Dustin
Those packs cover the Turtles, but not all of the main Stranger Things cast (at least the kid cast). That still leaves Mike and Will, who are arguably more main characters than others.
If we get a wave 3 with them, I have been wondering who they could get packed with. Sticking with the original/Mirage/red bandana era, maybe something like: Mike with April O'Neal Will with Casey Jones (considering these sets are celebrating the 80's, Jones would be really appropriate here)
But what I think would be really cool is if they gave us a villain. The back of the box gives a story of "TCRI's latest illegal experiments" trying to gain the power of the Upside Down. But if we are sticking to original/Mirage/red bandana era, what bad guys would fit that description?

Just grabbed a Usagi at the target in Wylie TX off of FM 544. They had 3 left, 2 of the pinball boxes, and a couple of hunchback Leo's.

I saw Usagi, hunchback Leo, the pinball set, the neutrinos and some rock soldier/paper bag head looking turtle yesterday.
Pretty cool stuff, but I'm out of the tmnt neca game. Luckily. Between those and the ace ducks and pizza monsters I've been seeing.

I got Tokka and Rahzar from the Target site this morning. So with that and recent NECA deliveries of Smash/Zack, 3 of the Rock Soldier/Crooked Turtles packs, and the SDCC pre-mutation pack, I'm back to 100% completion of the toon line.
