Definitely in for Donatello. Still contemplating Casey Jones.

I believe the overseas market is the primary market. Also, call it conjecture, but you can thank Playmates for that. They have a stranglehold on TMNT figures, but their reach doesn't go beyond the states. Trade shows and olnile stores seem to be safe from this too.
So far just available in China but there are companies importing them.Will these Turtles be available in overseas markets or just the USA like the NECA Turtles?
Apologies. I guess I'm a still a bit jaded over that whole diebacle with the NECA Turtles figures from back then and how that played out.I like your assumption but in the case very likely it's not true.
A lot of companies prefer to just do business within their comfort zone to start with. In this case just in China or Great China Area(Including Tai Wan, Singapore, Malaysia, etc) If it's a success or there's demand in other countries then they can negotiate to expand their license. It's a bit cheaper that way so they don't have to pay a lot of money at the beginning but can start selling their goods.
Besides, I don't think Playmates have the rights to 1:6 scale mix media products or metal/die cast. They don't have the rights to everything TMNT related.

Anyway...I must admit, the more I look at this figure, the more I fall in love with it. They really nailed the look of Shredder. It may sound crazy, but it looks like someone cast Mirage Shredder for the 87 cartoon with the costume designer straight from Marvel (post Winter Soldier). My only issue so far is the cape. The material is too light and the wires, while making it poseable, seem to get in the way. It also has a collar, which is baller as hell, but overall, I'd rather have a basic cape with a weightier material than the current one.
Overall, it's just a great figure.
Anyone planning to customize shredder with a more muscular body?
