Collectibles TMNT

[greygoose]

I'll let you know on the quality of them tomorrow if Royal mail actually deliver my parcel in one piece. Got a dispatch notice Wednesday afternoon (which means it probably got sent first thing next morning) but it's still not here despite paying for first class. Worse case scenario is that it's been lost or stolen in the post.

The UK is still playing catch up when it comes to getting turtle stuff. The 1/4 scale and Shredder/Splinter set are coming mid next year.

Take it you're UK based then?

Where did you get yours from?

The neca tmnt stuff is top notch and probably the best quality they put into their figures

Yep, UK based.

I got mine from toys in the attic (sometimes I use eBay or Kapow Toys).

I always wanted to get the 1/4 turtles but could never justify the expense to get all 4 over to the UK. I forgot they were finally arriving in the UK until I saw a Facebook post before.☺

Thanks for the heads up. Decent price on there.

I opened my VHS set and then immediately put them back. The paint on Mickey and Raph can be spotty.

As can be the case with Neca sometimes. Hopefully the Gamestop versions have better quality control than the SDCC ones did.

I don't think I have the room for any of the 1/4 turtles, so the smaller ones are a much better option for me. Michael Myers is likely my last 1/4 from them for a while unless something crazy gets announced. The bigger figures always have far better detail on them, though.

 

[Darth Maul]

I love the figures. Nothing wrong with them, outside of Mickey’s funky eyes. I got a replacement for him, but they wouldn’t give me one for Raph.

 

[Cicada17]

That reminds me, I have an extra Raph body with a broken ankle if anyone needs it for parts. No head though (Sorry Darth Maul).

 

[Darth Maul]

The head on mine isn’t that bad. It’s just there’s this kind of overly green smudge, like he just ate a TMNT blue bunny icecream bar.

 

[Thainitty]

I have both the GameStop turtles and the 1/4 and I have zero complaints with any of them...well maybe the 1/4 turtles have kind of loose torso articulation, I guess that’s the only minor complaint

I got the GameStop turtles delivered this morning. Absolutely beautiful figures, so glad to have them in my collection after not knowing if we would ever get them over here.

Do you think they'll do a 1990 Casey Jones or April O'Neil for next year's 30 anniversary? I don't think April would be a good seller as the cartoon version is more recognisable and iconic.

 

[greygoose]

Are the GameStop turtles exclusives? What's the difference?

 

[Puck]

They're pretty much the same as the SDCC exclusives, only this time each turtle comes in a separate box so you can buy them individually whereas the comic con ones were in one box together. Plus they're not really exclusive over here since you can get them at several retailers, whilst (I believe) in the US they're GameStop only.

Ah OK! I've only seen them for sale individually over here. Only realised they were out over here yesterday!

I think April and Casey would have to be bundled together anyway. Maybe with Danny and... the Master?

I would so get that if I had the money and the space to put it. Perfect for a man cave.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I'm only eyeing the MK and SF versions.

 

[Thainitty]

I’m sure neca will do Casey eventually and I agree they’d probably bundle him with April. Although a Casey and trench coat raph could be a possible two pack hmm.
