For you guys into super7 there is a guy selling some on fwoosh. I screened his ad. I dont know him and know nothing of super7 but these may or may not be good prices for them. I think he said this is wave 1. I can pass your email to him if your interested. I dont want to be a middle man for the deal if I can avoid it.
Well, thank you to the Neca employee who monitors this thread. Got my T&R shipping notice right after complaining. Just a few more complaints and maybe they’ll ship B&R too!
Anyone wanting the splinter stockman pack there were 5 of them at the Target at 20255 W 154th St, Olathe, KS 66062 as of around 9:40am this morning.
Man no one screen grabbed or summarized the Fwoosh/Neca interview sigh it'll be a few hrs before I can watch it Don't click the bottom pic
EDIT: @redrum2581 got to it first lol New FWOOSH Interview with NECA's Turtles Brand Manager . Tons of good tidbits on upcoming releases. The inteview is broken up by topics if you're interested on a certain release. A few days ago I went from I don't really need those turtles in disguise to they are a MUST after hearing the details!
I'm listening to the FwooshCast now.... interesting info: No updates from the Tatsu actor; they still cannot get this man to respond. Rat King and Vernon are shipping next NECA is releasing one new pack every month instead of releasing three at once. Muckman and Mondo Gecko's 2-pack may be split due to cost concerns. Figure release schedule is based on design progress. For example, NECA wanted to pair Leatherhead and Rat King but Rat King wasn't ready so we got Slash NECA is producing MORE figures now to address supply issues. Punk Frog designs are done; expect to ship next year. Each frog comes with two heads (Happy and angry). No four pack, expect to see two Frog packs. Frog release won't happen simultaneously, Expect one pair of frogs, Ace Duck pack, and last frog pair. Still listening
Pigeon Pete shipping with the disguised turtles. Disguised turtle heads will be interchangeable; you'll be able to remove the top half of the head so you can swap mouth expressions with each turtle (see photo). Disguised turtles shipping Q1 next year; 4-pack VHS style release. Box will potential easter eggs for future figure releases. All disguised turtle clothing is removable. Disguised turtles will have minor articulation upgrades (ankle/elbows) Vernon's body will be the base of several characters? For example, Ace Duck shares Vernon's body. (I dunno who?) Neutrinos are being considered. Ace Duck will be paired with a villain...
Okay, get the bad out of the way first: I think I much prefer getting the figures in the "wave" format of the earlier releases, opposed to this "one or two releases every few weeks or so" format we've had the last few months, so their plan to stick to that method is a little disappointing... But, otherwise: all good! I like just about everything we're seeing/hearing there! I think Chrome Dome's size is perfect, big, but not huge. I hope Ace is paired with Mutagen Man.
Chrome dome looks like he's from a completely different line of figures. I wish he was chrome like the old toy.
That’s great to hear that the turtle van sculpt is done and now they are figuring out costs. He said it should be released in 2021, and will be available directly through NECA’s store. Now, how much is that thing going to cost? My guess is $150.
That's an early prototype there. Just look at the picture from last week on the "cardback" that showed everything in the line so far for a more finalized look. Still, it won't be as metallic as the old figure, since NECA goes for the show accuracy. If Super 7 does a Chrome Dome, he'll be shinier, just like the difference between the two versions of Metalhead.
I finally watched the Fwoosh vid...wanted to avoid this thread in case of spoilers. I like where things seem to be headed...and I do hope they are continuing to increase production numbers. Hopefully the asshole scalpers eventually get overstocked and backed up.
Damn did Pixel Dan and Neca have a falling out? That guy was on top of all the TMNT news, haven't seen him touch a turtles-related item in awhile!
