TMNT (teenage mutant ninja turtles)

[nilocomic]

Someone did ask NECA's twitter account about addressing the bad eyes, and he pointed people to [email protected]. I went ahead and emailed them about all four of my Turtles having crooked eyes, and got this response:

I do apologize. We aware of the ongoing issues with your TMNT set, we are currently compiling the information and are working on a solution. Please allow us some time and we will get back to you shortly with a resolution.

That was last Friday, so we'll see if they actually get back to me.

Maybe the painters thought the eyes had to be asymmetrical to match their mouths?

All of mine have perfect paint apps. The only trouble I'm having is rotating Shredder's legs, rotating one of the foot soldiers' legs, and bending one of Raph's knee joints. I'm pretty sure all those joints are just too stiff to loosen as I did all the other tight joints. Should I soak these guys in warm water? What methods do my fellow freaks recommend?

A hair dryer worked for me.

Has anyone on here received a set with no issues?

Me. One set was perfect. The other had some slightly of center eye, barely noticeable on mikey and leo. A fine paint line on the front shell of raph. The rest was great

NECA finally replied--they want me to ship the damaged box back, apparently at my own expense, before they send a replacement. Kind of weak.

Mine seems great. No noticeable damage or sloppy paint. I got lucky.

Got 2 sets just because I wanted four foot soldiers. I can make a good set out of the 2 sets. Miley is good out of both sets. I have two awful eyes for a Raph and Donatello. The defect leo has fine eyes but has the squished head. He also has a neck that extends to far to the right. I want to get the 3 bad turtles replaced. But I'm almost worried to say anything because of how hard it is to get your hands on this stuff in the first place, i don't want to end up black balling myself from future merch.

Indeed, that's how I feel about my squished head Leo & maybe a couple other ones. Not to mention getting blackballed, I don't see NECA saying anything other than 'that's just how it goes/no figure's perfect.'

So uhhh lol BigBadToyStore has the SDCC set up for pre order

[quiggle]

yo guys i'm seeing new waves of enemies on the 16bit versions & movie turtles, too bad it's all gonna be exclusives.

Yeah it sucks pretty hard. Glad my foot soldiers are okay. I may try to do some kind of custom on the reject turtles. That or give them to my son when he gets a little older. I just hope the saving grace is more availability for these kinds of hints in the future. If I missed out and had to jump the hoops to get a set then I would be disappointed.

In turtle-related news: TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES TMNT-ACTION FIGURE ENCYCLOPEDIA. I've never backed a Kickstarter so quickly. This thing looks AWESOME.

I have concerns largely due to the amount of spelling errors and typos in the write-up about it on Kickstarter. Hopefully he has a really good editor but come on...if you are trying to get backers on a Kickstarter for your book then at least run spellcheck.

You know, I had the same thought. "Techno Drone?" I almost want to contact him to see if I could pledge a little more to proofread...

 

[Cicada17]

LOL. Techno Drone... Another case of spellchecker? Maybe?

no, "drome" is a real word, seemingly they're just being careless. which, deservedly so, would give someone pause as to what kind of attention would be paid to the details in final product. i hate when a great idea is victim of poor execution. seems us turtle fans have seen a lot of that lately. woof.

 

[Shawpaw]

Can't back it until they fix errors

My sdcc set has been delivered in the UK today, dreading getting home and opening it to be honest!

Wonder what I'll get from the Neca lottery -

Derpy eyes
Deformed face
Bad paint
Same side shoulder joints
Same side feet
Missing back of bandana

The excitement is killing me
