I would think so too. As far as Target releases I made my calls today locally and no dice. I'll check back again towards the tail end of the week. I need those Rock Soldiers. Been wanting those since I was a kid (Never had that luck). And, I'm still trying to get at least 3 packs of the Movie Foot Soldiers. I need these bad. Still pondering If I will army build with a few Triceratons. The Roadkill Rodneys are a great addition. Somebody already asked Neca if they were going to release a Rodney pack. They responded no.
i think they should've just made him a deluxe with like 4-6 Mousers yeah i saw that, i know people want to army build diff things so i'm hoping someone wants to army build Triceratons like i want to army build RKR
And here I was thinking it would be a no brainer on NECA's part to include at least two of them in the upcoming set. What other accessories would Baxter even ship with? It's been well over 20 years since I've even seen an episode of the show and the only thing that immediately springs to mind is his "hand" gun from the Turtles in Time arcade game. I like that the Triceraton they're shipping first has the colors close to the original vintage figure, but I'd only be interested in the RKR side of that 2-pack.

I listened to Super7's Brian Flynn on the Fwoosh podcast. For the Ultimates Wave 1, they're considering doing a second run, but just changing the weapons rack color. So basically it'll be the exact same. They didn't want to do a version with less accessories if people got annoyed with that. And they didn't want to do a version with different paint apps on the figures since that may make Wave 1 owners feel like they should buy a second. Wave 2 is supposed to ship from the factory in November, and Wave 3 most likely in March after Chinese New Year, maybe even before CNY if they go fast but more likely March.
Great news, if true, about a second run. There's probably quite a few fence-sitters (like me) that were waiting for in-hand reviews and the like to make a decision on supporting another line. Super 7's earlier efforts (read: MOTU) were bogged down a bit by inconsistent release dates and minor errors in the plastic colors from prototype to production among other issues. Glad to see they're turning things around with both TMNT and the Thundercats offerings.
I don't recommend overpaying for the Super7 figures now but if you're in a rush; Zavvi has a few at $60. Raphael Super7 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ultimates - Raphael Action Figure Splinter Super7 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ultimates - Splinter Action Figure A reissue would be nice! Hard to cut people out of the line with the first wave.
Fwoosh did an interview on YouTube with Brian Flynn of Super7. - They are probably going to re-issue Wave 1 with small changes to the color of the weapon racks so people can tell them apart from the original but would not entice re-buys from people who already have them. - April has seen head-to-toe revisions and she is closer to the cartoon model now. - Wave 2 is ahead of schedule and might ship from the factory in October. - Wave 3 is scheduled to ship from the factory in January. - Wave 4 will be solicited in October. - Usagi Yojimbo's rights are secured. - Hinting at Turtle Van as the next big project after Snake Mountain is in everyone's hands.* * He only confirmed that there are two big projects planned and they are pretty much what everyone is guessing. To my knowledge, the strongest rumors are the Turtle Van and Thunder Tank.
Update: Brickseek was listing instock like crazy this afternoon at multiple Walmarts, but due to the false alarms (and employee incompetence) I called in advance and got alot of "No Sorry, none in stock" (Usual BS). But...then... all of a sudden the "cool" Walmart where I scored the Casey set and missed the Turtles by 30 minutes, said instock. I drove there immediately on my way back home from work and there they were (In the store that I was a manager in, we tended to get stock out early in electronics like this.). They always have them locked up in a case and limit it to 2 per person. This Walmart's dept manager does a great job of knowing his product as he tries to order a sufficient amount (Wish other elec dept managers were like him). Been waiting for this store to say "In-stock". Glad I was freed up for this.
I might have to peep their April, Usagi, and Turtle van (Hopefully it will not have the decals already applied. We shall see.).
I like April, I'd probably buy her again and another Foot or two if they re-issue Wave 1, but honestly will stick with my wave 1 figures for the most part. I mean, no need to become crazy completionist with this line. Am I right?
Reissuing Wave 1 makes a lot of sense. Know what will stop people from ordering Leo, Mikey, and Don? Not being able to get Raph at a decent price. Glad to see that people will get another shot at them.
He was saying that while it's natural for prices to go up on these items and people shouldn't expect a rescue from paying late taxes in the future, the immediate and drastic secondary market price hikes were outside of the healthy range. Also, Wave 2 and beyond are going to be produced in larger quantity due to more demand from regional distributors and online retailers, so it makes sense to make as many Raphaels as there will be Leonardos, etc.
I will happily pick up a second Raphael, it’s a good figure and id hate be stuck in a situation where my current one broke
Just watched the interview and they also confirmed having 7 Super7 TMNT waves planned at this time. After Wave 4 is announced, it's going to get very interesting.
apart from the turtles, I’m all in on toy versions of the rest...my hopes are for Usagi, Rat King, Ace Duck, Muckman, Triceraton, and Leatherhead. I’ll take the Van as well
