TMNT (teenage mutant ninja turtles)

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

From NECA: "FYI - the only way we are able to make TMNT in this scale is for cons only & sold only in sets. License restrictions, no retail. #facts"

Wow...what a waste of a license. Hopefully SH Figuarts makes the 1990 movie figures.

NECA also said each set will sell at the con for $100 EACH and ONLY available for sale at the con because of license restrictions. I'm already scared of eBay prices.

Don't even bother. Easily over 250-300 each set.

Got all excited, then read that they're restricted to US only. Ouch.

Then again I managed to series 3 of Planet of The Apes for £60 last month on amazon but that was almost a year after they were on sale at comic con. I doubt these will be offered to UK retailers though.

Might be cheaper to go to SD and get a scalped pass to the con, lol

Translation: **** Playmates

Sad to hear that these will likely be impossible to buy for a sane price for those of us not going to SDCC.

NECA just confirmed no sales through NECAClub.com. You can ONLY get these at SDCC due to licensing restrictions

 

[Bluetooth]

It might be wishful thinking, but dunno, I do think these won't be that hard to get, or at least we'll be able to get an alternate (non-SDCC) version down the road. Didn't Randy say a few weeks ago there was no chance of releasing videogame turtles?

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Bootlegs FTW!!

 

[EvilGreenCb]

He always keeps things a secret I am hoping this is one of those situations. Why would they only allow it to be sold at SDCC & not to the general public when it's a one time thing. & NECA is all about cost efficiency they re-use sculpts for Alien/Pred figures & say all the time it's about "tooling". So why would they pay for someone to sculpt these then have them manufactured overseas just to be sold to a select few? Doesn't make sense right? I think they will release these like they did the 7 inch Keaton Batman. Also there's this which makes me think there is still a chance...

Not so cuckoo. That's all the license allows, arcade versions

i addressed only the whole idea of spoiling good sculpts with those stupid marks i understand the reason.

Yep... Blame Playmates not NECA....

 

[smitbro2]

Playmates is worse than Hasbro Neca makes turtle figures so good that even the bootlegs are highly revered. Licensing sucks. I hate when companies have a grip on certain scales. Playmates literally makes dollar store quality toys while these awesome companies are more than willing to make a FEW collector figures that don't look like googly eyed garbage(cough classic collection). Makes me nerd rage

 

[EvilGreenCb]

You know what's so messed up? these are limited to sdcc so only a certain amount will be made & now you have yahoo & every gaming channel on youtube reporting on this. it will be impossible to get these now

 

[potato]

is orders direct via Herocross include skateboards for each turtles, is that considered Special edition because the site didn't mention about skateboards.

also is it free delivery worldwide?

 

[potato]

I think it's similar to the Contra series.

There might be restrictions in the US, but there might not be a restriction outside US, I don't know how the license work outside USA, but you see Revoltech & Bandai picking up the license in Japan.

 

[YoNoSe]

I'd be shocked if these don't miraculously see release through the Ebay store or get resized, redecoed, or repacked down the road.

 

[Shawpaw]

I really want these. I'll check out eBay of course but won't hold my breath.
