I feel like a complete sucker but I bit on both the accessories and diorama off NECA's site. Have absolutely no clue where I would put the diorama but figured at worst I could pass it on to someone else later on and get my money back. There's some talk that it might connect with a future sewer playset down the line. I was watching some videos covering NECA's ToyFair display from earlier this year and they also had a Technodrome diorama set up, so I'm curious if that is something they also plan to release.
Also, Super Shredder is freaking awesome. It has a really odd torso/waist design though, like it is a very "bobbly" moving joint, at least on mine. Still hold a pose with no problem. In hand I don't think the shading looks cartoony at all, and in fact is one of my favorite TMNT figures they've done so far. It was also really strange to open up a NECA figure and have all the joints move perfectly fine right out of the box, lol.
But good lord, I'm sorry, that April figure is complete trash. The last time I had that feeling, where I opened up a NECA figure and immediately felt like I wasted my money, was when I picked up the truly awful Interstellar clothed figures a few years back. It would have been a bit more palatable if the foot soldier was at least a bit more unique, but he is barely a variant. Also both figures in the pack I got have a ton of sloppy paint gloss all over, which makes them seem even more cheap. Oh well. Here's hoping the movie April will be better. She is just so out of scale with the other figures it is truly baffling.
I am still looking for the Casey/Footsoldier cartoon pack if anyone comes across one, a big thanks to cbulas1 for hooking me up with the Leatherhead/Slash pack a couple weeks ago!
