Boy howdy.... Turtles are not a primary collecting interest of mine so I hadn't even popped into this thread. I've picked up the stray NECA and Super7 figure here and there to satisfy myself, but my goodness - these are like, Turtles figures made almost specifically to appeal to me, personally. The detailed, not too cartoony look, the scale to go on a 1:10 shelf, which is where I put my Turtles stuff anyway... I don't care about the cloth good extras. I don't want stupid trench coats - I just want those turtles in that picture... my, my, my. I don't know where I'm going to free up $400 for the set, but I feel like I'm going to have to find a way.
Not in love with Michelangelo's closed eyes on the laughing portrait. I hope that's fixed and his eyes are white again. I realized it's supposed to look like closed turtle eyelids under the mask, but he just looks possessed and it's not a head I'd ever use looking like that. Unfortunate, but I already bought the other two so I'll round it out with these. Donnie looks fine, I'm glad his tech stuff is removable. I've gotten somewhat tired of his always having to wear something to indicate that he's the smart one at all times. Would you wear nightvision goggles and a backpack around your house at all times so people knew you were intelligent? The stuff looks cool, but I like that he can just be one of the turtles and remove it also.
I for one like them a lot, honestly no notes other than the heads being small. Can't wait to get my hands on the first batch of these Turtles.
These look amazing, like definitely some of the best Turtles out there. I won’t be buying them since at this point in my life I can’t be dropping another $400 on what would be my 27th set of goddamn Ninja Turtles.
I am looking forward to all the ACBA art that’s going to be done with these though! I’ve been living vicariously through that with the Mezco Turtles and will be very happy to do the same with these!
33Toys also put pre-orders up $135 shipped for both
It's tempting, but I don't know anyone who has used them before. They seem small enough that I might worry about them getting stock. Not trying to discourage anyone, just waffling. I'll stick with 5K cuz I'm familiar with them and they haven't let me down. But I'll keep an ear out for how these guys work out for anyone else.
@cmoney I took the plunge and went with 33Toys. I researched on Reddit and Instagram. Only negative thing I have read is the 3d printed figure was loosely made. I've chatted with a few that have received items successfully though and said they were satisfied. I'll report here on my experience when the time comes.

I took a gamble on 33Toys as well. I couldn't find much good or bad but a few Youtubers had reviews of figures like the knockoff Pitt that they claimed to have received from them. Kowkis didn't appear to have a coupon code this time, and to be honest I don't want to be paying much for my umpteenth iteration of the turtle boys, so I went this cheaper route. Whether or not it'll be my undoing remains to be seen. Last time I was hearing "don't use your credit card, use Paypal it's safer for dealing with China." This time I'm hearing "Paypal only covers you for 90 days so after that Window you're f-ed." I'll probably gravitate more toward 5ktoys since I've yet to have issues with them and it's less hassle albeit more expensive, but I try to limit my expensive import figures what with Mafex and these various Chinese unofficial figure companies rolling out rather enticing stuff.
