He'll go up for order when Leo ships next month

I just preordered Raphael on BBTS, any idea when they will be shipping it out? I missed out the first batch but these look amazing.

Also, are these being sold by any retailer in Canada (I'm in Canada)? I'm having to pay $36 in shipping cost plus import/customs fees.

For those of you wanting a flat clear coat this one does the trick: https://www.amazon.com/TAMIYA-TS-80-Clear-Spray-Laquer/dp/B000ZVO3YS

Of course you'd need to mask the eyes but it is hands down the best clear I've come across. Dries fast too. Here's a before and after comparison from when I was doing my custom Wonder Woman.

Tried your method, and got it in the mail earlier today. After a good part of this afternoon, I got it to where it's acceptable. Some parts wouldn't budge and still have a light shimmer too them, but it's not bad like it was. The bandana still is dirty but it is what it is.

At least I won't have to use the derpy eyed Raph. Plus, Neca might be sending me a new head anyway whenever they get their stock.

Not sure for BBTS but he'll show up on the NECA store when Leo does.

Good to hear it got to the point you're happy enough with it.

I mean the paint finish doesn't quite match Donnie's but oh well. I may spray a tiny bit of Donnie's too since he has shiny glue residue under the lip of his bandana.

I received my Raphael from Calendars recently and willing to look past the dirty bandana, however, the paint around the nose and mouth isn't blended very well and is much lighter compared to all of the pictures everyone has posted. I know pictures don't always do justice, but it just looks odd, almost giving it a "beak" look. Anyone have this problem or notice it?

It's meant to be like that. Mine is lighter in that area to, same on Donnie. Raph has a dirty bandanna on the box art so I'm not sure why this is an issue either.

Yeah tdk82, I think you got a bad sample. Here's mine, which shows no signs of that "beak" -like paint job of yours:

Nice photos fellas. Anyone on the fence about picking these up for the price that they're charging you guys better not sleep on these , or pass them up because once you do, they will be sold out and you will regret it forever

I never take Randy's words to heart unless he mentions the figures are on the boat.

It wasn't Randy it's their official site... Most time if the month it changes on thier site it's pretty legit. Like With Mayor Penguin and Catwoman. So I trust it.
