[Rzeznikk]

Neca doesnt do 1/6. Nor do they want to.

They used it. They should return to it. There's a market. It's more marketable than their 8" Mego style crap. I'd buy 12" versions of alot of their stuff if they offered it.

I had most of their 12" figures back when they were doing them.

-Frank the Bunny
-Shaun of the Dead
-Jareth from Labyrinth
-King Leonidas
-Kratos
-Jack Sparrow...


And just look at how explosive these Turtles have been. NECA would be/are fools for not releasing these in 1:6.

They have done 12" figures before and what a better way to bring that scale back than these Turtles?

They have said countless times they prefer working with the 1/4 scale and 7 inch.. They also prefer 7 inch over 6 inch scale. 1/6 is not happening. I'm perfectly fine with the quarter scales. I doubt any other company could put do these. One company has tried and failed miserably.

Way more people collect the smaller scale than 1/6. So they're not fools, they've got limited opportunities for these releases with the license and are doing what they can.

NECA could do well with 1/6 with properties that are just so rarely done and done right that their quality would be acceptable enough even to those who collect the likes of Hot Toys or Enterbay. Turtles would definitely be a hit, as even those other companies couldn't do much better with them, and NECA uses materials you can count on to hold up over time and not rubber that may break down in a few years.

I understand the licensing issues with these with Playmates. And they are only allowed to release these as exclusives (SDCC and now GameStop)
Hence why they should get a wide release at the 1:6 scale. Are you going to argue there is a higher market for 1:4 than 1:6? That I highly doubt.

Honestly I don't see why NECA doesn't want to make more money on these. I've bought the 1:4, I've bought the 7" and I'd buy these guys again at 1:6. Probably then would sell the 1:4 as they take up a lot of space.

Sounds more like they don't want to compete with the likes of Sideshow of Hot Toys. But honestly they are niche enough to still have a market in 1:6.

The 19:00 mark is very intriguing. Talk of finishing out the original film - actor likeness rights - and maybe moving on to Secret of the Ooze.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Yes, Randy said that there is another movie set for SDCC, and that includes something new....a figure that hasn't been made in 1/4 scale. My guess, it's a set that includes Shredder, 2 foot soldiers, and Casey Jones with two head sculpts, masked and unmasked. The only other characters besides, Casey, are Splinter and April, but Casey Jones is probably the best choice. I wouldn't mind April.

As far as Secret of the Ooze, do you think they'll make the four turtles again, or are they similar enough to the first film?

if those Rocksteady and Bebop will be sold in the same way that turtles were - only to first world countries, i'll live happily with my Playmates versions rather than go through the humiliation of triple paying for white man's toys.

Yes. The Turtles from Secret of The Ooze are different enough for NECA to make them. They just announced Michael Myers from Halloween II. They have also released a version of Jason from each Friday the 13th movie (most of them).

“White man’s toys?” Really? America is the most culturally diverse country in human history. Greatest country on Earth! Move to America! You’re more than welcome (as long as you come legally).

Child me would have loved this cartoon line. It always annoyed me that Rocksteady in particular didn't look anything like he did in the cartoon.
