NECA 1/4 Scale TMNT 1990's Turtles

[Psycho50501]

Surprisingly Mikey. Despite the shortcomings of the figure, I think that he really embodies the feel and look of the movie more than the others. If he were a little shorter and the head bigger he'd be absolutely perfect. Donnie is a close 2nd.



Yeah, the shells are really impressive, I really like the way they look from the back, the stark color of the bandanas over their more muted bodies really are amazing.



I didn't see a way to do it.

In the movie he didn't have holsters was just tucked under his belt. I'll try first thing when I get him tomorrow afternoon.

that awful plastic-glossy marshmallow mask is what we got because SOME people nagged and nagged endlessly about perfectly weathered bandanas.

and what it could be and should be:

i have zero painting skills so i don't know how to fix that stupid thing that SOME people here asked for repeatedly and mindlessly.

My daughter and I have been doing that too! I made too much and had to give some away as it's just super fun.

Oobleck! Made that stuff in 2nd grade Art class

Having got all of them via the GSP I've just got used to this wait. Always takes 2-3 weeks at least while they bounce around several states before finally shipping. Not expecting Mikey here until at least the end of next week.

hmmm.

First time I've been disappointed with hot toys. He's really cheap and flimsy, the base is lazy and recycled, there are noticeable seams in the plastic. The gun is the same way too. Price does not reflect quality this time and that's unlike hot toys I'm usually surprised rather than let down

I'm returning mine I thought I could get by with it buts I just don't like it quality and scale wise he looks bad next to Arnold and it's not the original which I didn't think would bother me but it does

i could understand the wait. 5 years ago 1.5 months waiting was minimum for me, today 1.5 month is maximum, but it's still a lot, and i'm used to that.
what i cannot understand is why they charge so much ($80 for Mike!) and work so bad and slow.

Mikey is up on Toys R Us website.

Man, I HATE that bandana on Mikey. Looks so fake compared to everything else on these figures.

Hopefully they can fix it with later batches of him, I am going to just wait it out and hope NECA sees how
horrible it looks in comparison to the other three.

A black/brown wash is about the easiest "mod" you can do to a figure.

I am the furthest thing from a good picture taker, but my order from Amazon showed up yesterday. Feels good to have them complete!

Maybe so, but for $100 it should already be done.

Oh I agree, but people kept complaining and most of us didn't counter their cries.

i still wonder if they did it deliberately to respond to all those complaints about "dirty bandanas".
like "you wanted it clean - you got it".

Being one of those that asked about the cleanliness of the bandana my question was focused on the cloth part. Were people upset at the plastic too?

It's why I'll be glad to never use the global shipping programme again after I get Mikey. I can order something from Hong Kong and have it show up in 3-5 days for a fraction of that delivery price.

I really like the poses you chose for your display, mikedanger! bravo

That front shell aswell...seems to be a brighter and cleaner yellow...and no one asked for that.
