They actually look pretty kick ass! And still have a few old TMNT comic,in black and white I think.

Wow, those look great! The neck seems a little too long though...

nope, they were drawn exactly like that in Kevin Eastman's comic..The long neck was one of the first detail I noticed that was comic accurate.Neca did their homework.

This cover image is small but you can clearly see the long necks on the turtle.

That's awesome, about time someone came up with the classic Turtles, they rocked. Definately didn't start out as a kids comic, they we're pretty violent and bloody starting out, apparently they went with all red headbands like the original comics as well.

I can't get this image out of my head:





I quite like NECAs TMNT! I remember my dad showing my the original comics when I was younger and started watching the kids version on TV... or did the film come first?

Here in the UK they were called TM'Hero'T...

I liked the fact that the comics were a bit more adult. Blood, stabbings, etc. Seeing turtles with throwing stars stuck in them and dark blood!

PsychoCenobite

awesome... he looks pretty good. the eastman and laird series was great.

Man that is great looking! I've wanted some kickass TMNT figures for the longest time

Yea they look pretty cool. They have the stylized features that the GG Animated LoTR has, that different quality that IMO, makes it better than the original.

I think its supposed to be in the style of the original comic, not cartoon, which makes it really cool. I'm pretty sure I'll get at least the Turtles, maybe some other characters too.

Also nice that NECA is actually going with decent articulation, instead of their standard work.

What size are these?

Yep, I've been dying to get something like this to pose like in their very first appearance in the alley.

doh! i also hotlinked from their site.

SWEET! I used to love those old comics. It looks EXACTLY like what it should, very nice. I cannot wait to have these on the shelf.

All I can say is wow. I cannot wait to get my hands on these figures.

By the way, does anyone remember the original comic line when they did one shot comics for each Turtle? I was able to get my hands on the Donnatello comic that has him meeting Jack Kirby. Both Eastman and Laird are big fans of the King and in the comic they have a petition you can cut out and send to Marvel pleading that they give Jack all of his old artwork back. I believe the issue was from 1986 and at that time Jack was going after Marvel with lawyers to get his original drawings back. It all just adds to how cool the Ninja Turtles are and how deep the roots of their adventures go.
