NECA 1/4 Scale TMNT 1990's Turtles

[Shawpaw]

Thank you, I still think they are awesome overall. I can work around Donnie's stability issue but the cross eyed thing is hard to ignore. If NECA get any more of him I might see if I can exchange this one.

Raph is perfect though, his sculpt matches anything Hot Toys have ever done and I love my Hot Toys figures so it's not like I'm saying that as a hater.
He, Leo or Mikey could easily be figure of the year for 2017. Problem for them is they'll split the vote and allow another figure to steal the crown!

These would never win figure of the year due to 1/6 fans and Batman. Lol

Aaaand just like that they showed up today! Woo hoo! Donnie does have a slight wonk in his left eye but other than that these guys are exceptional. I was worried the skin texture would be too prominent but in hand these guys are spot on. Skin colour, headsculpts and even the spots aren't too vulgar. Whether that's down to NECA or the character design means the paintwork lends well to these figures I don't know but my god these boys are a joy to hold!

Psycho,
What company made that Joker? Did you customize the face?

 

[gogul1]

Its weird, up close his wonky eye doesn't look so bad but stand back and it seems to get worse.

That doesn't look bad. Cowls and masks usually make figures look cross-eyed

Is there a scratch going across his eye or is that just a reflection? As far as the eye direction I think he looks like most other Donnie samples.

I sympathize with anyone getting wonky eyes on their figures, my first Donnie definitely had it and it bothered me enough to order a replacement. I can forgive issues on other parts of figures but when something is off on the head it just bothers me to no end since that is where my eyes go first whenever I look at a figure in any scale.

So yes, it is completely reasonable to complain about it, as far as I'm concerned.

That's not too bad of a wonk. The puppets and animatronic heads had some wonky eyes at times so that seems fitting.

what he said...

 

[Mr. EcKo]

Brother Donald had a lazy eye from a skateboard injury as a child

BBTS hiked Don's price to $125.

 

[a-dev]

And seemingly have a full stock again.

 

[Amanaman]

Yeah, lol. I already had the old price locked in, but I get tired of BBTS' opportunistic speculation. With newer stores like Lunar offering the dreamex turtles for ~$22-25 less each, I'll be buying less from them.

Donnie came close for 2016 and would have likely won with a full international release. Because of the issues my Donnie has, I'd have still voted for BvS Batman...just. My Raph is almost perfect and taking everything into account I rate him ahead of every Hot Toys figure I own including Batfleck. And He's not even my favourite Turtle, that would be Leo. Can't wait for him now!

It's funny you said about your Turtles going all the way to Warrington, that's where I am! Wonder if yours were in the van that came up here yesterday, if so my apologies for your delay lol. So glad they turned out good for you man, replacing them would be a real hassle for us. Your Donnie definitely looks less cross eyed than mine.


The skin colour is perfect like you said. I can't get it to come out with my crappy camera especially without natural light. It makes the green darker than it really appears in person. I just have them ontop of an Ikea unit for now but don't like them being behind my desk. Have to keep turning round to look at them while working.

Is it just me, or is Donnie's bandana eye holes a little too large? Raph's seem to be perfect, but it makes
Donatello's look stretched out.

looks the same in the movie (though maybe overdone) - holes showing eyelids completely (from up to down and from left to right, not covering any area of eyelids) on Donatello, a lot smaller holes on Raphael, showing just a bit of a lower eyelid.

[P.]

i should put you to the ignore list. your photos with that diorama make me envious and hateful.
all those trash details are piece of art.

 

[Mr. EcKo]

sorry P.










Thanks P

You've really made something special there. Incredible detail.
