    ZOMG! Dude she’s excellent. That face looks more like April than NECA’s does, imo.

    That face is spectacular. It might be the angle of rhe pic but that second picture makes it look like her.....backside...... is enhanced to be weird proportion.

    I appreicate it :cool:  I used epoxy clay (Aves) and a lot of patience. I have the belt ready to install, just wanna finish the suit details on the back and seal it before adding it. BTW Did you catch the easter egg? (Hint: homage to (one of) the original toy version)

    Thank you boss, yes the angles are not the best, but I'll upload more photos of her later. Not a pro photographer/poser/sculptor so still figuring all this stuff out.

    Cheers guys

    @Tyrannozord27 -- Amazing custom! I took some time earlier in the week to watch a few episodes of the show (which I hadn't seen in over 20 years) and it struck me how "off" the NECA release was in hand, but I could never quite place why other than her body seemed too small for her head. She's still cute AF, but not quite proportionally correct when you compare the figure to the cartoon. Even though I hadn't seen it in forever, I definitely remembered that April was many, many things... but "petite" sure ain't one of them, lol. During the pilot episodes, she towers over everyone so much in a few shots there's nothing but dead space above other character's heads!

    @redrum2581 -- Damn, that's ridiculous. What do you figure is a good price on that these days?

    Oh, right. One more thing.

    I actually FOUND NECA TURTLES PRODUCT IN THE WILD.

    upload_2020-10-2_14-48-54.jpeg

    No lie, the paranoia set in and I thought I was straight up being pranked.

    One minute, I'd be standing there in shock at finding these and suddenly some big buffoon would come barrelling into me full-tilt, knocking me out of the isle and grabbing everything for himself. Like that one time at a TRU back in the late 90's when some sweaty unkempt Star Wars geek forgot his manners and hip-checked me into the end-cap of the action figure section when I was out looking for the new Beast Wars figures.

    I'm happy that I finally found something in store, but at the same time I really wanted it to be those turtle two packs. ;)

    Updated Chart! I hope Krang's body isn't too hard to nab.

    Does the krang body not come with a krang brain? I really haven't paid attention to announcements but that would be crappy for those who never got krang and then see this and want it but have to go back and try to track him down.

    I think it’s confirmed that it’ll come with an additional Krang figure.

    I dont want to pay more than $250 but $300 tops is what I'm willing to do for an awesome Krang

    Maybe I can customize the Krang body to make it look cooler and less toon/toy goofy. I'd au my bigget issue is the limb proportions

    and i doubt S7 will be any better based on

    I keep looking around online but no one has said they got these yet. What's taking them so long?

    Apparently Dorkside Toys had the 1st ultimates wave up for a bit earlier today. I managed to snag the last Baxter figure before he sold out. I am thankful that Super 7 plans on re-releasing this wave. These figures look really solid and brings back good memories of my childhood.
