April (Turtle), Ace, and El Mysterio are the only officially announced/teased figures unreleased from this line. I'd be surprised if there aren't more that we just don't know about. We basically didn't see Leatherhead and Cryin' Houn' until the eve of release. I'd be expect more Mutanimals, at the very least, and you know there will be a set of traditional turtles at some point. It's a pretty smart move to start with the Stump turtles to capitalize on the excitement for Archie turtles only to come back with a more traditional set that will probably sell even better.
I got my Stump Turtles in from Target, too. Gorgeous figures...extremely happy! As a kid, I obviously watched the cartoon and was a fan of the property, but my very first TMNT comic was TMNT Adventures #7 (Cryin Houn fighting the wrestling Turtles on the cover). I read that issue until the covers fell off, and I still have it. And now I have them in beautiful plastic form, what a glorious time to be a collector!
Also, it helps being in my 40's and having disposable income LOL
I think for future releases, the basic Turtles from TMNT Adventures is a no-brainer. I also think we'll see the 4 Horsemen at some point (War, Pestilence, Famine, Death). Those would be some big, chunky boys.

Four Horsemen would be rad. I'm also definitely crossing my fingers they can work out something for Ninjara, and I'd love Warrior Dragon and have to assume Armaggon is coming sooner or later?
Leatherhead looks great in that ring with his matching blues.
Not terribly interesting but Bellybomb arrived from Target today and I can't put him down. He's just too much fun to pose. He's giving me so much sass from across my work desk. This is my first NECA TMNT since Slash or April, not sure who came out first, since I missed the set I wanted last batch of releases (space Donnie set). It's neat how perfectly Krang fits on Slash's shoulder guards!
Really glad they stocked Bellybomb online and hope everyone who wants him can score a copy. Now I'm mostly looking forward to Ultimate Shredder and the 2012 Turtles. Would love if they rereleased Android Krang as well.
That looks awesome SalemCrow! Is that the Classic Target exclusive WWE Ring?
Whatever it is, it matches perfect. Thanks for the pics 🙂
Thanks guys.
Super Camel, yeah, it's the Target classic ring with cage.
Target's got Bellybomb back in stock online, and he's actually been sticking around this time. Target Circle's got the $10 off $40 toy deal still going as well, if you can find something to pair him with (or $20 off $75).
Psyched to see Ace Duck, Wingnut and Screwloose, and Shredder. Will definitely pick those up.
Pics for those who haven't seen 'em. I'm loving this Archie line.

I was set in just doing the Mutanimals and Stump themed figures but that Shredder is calling my name.
wingnut and Screwloose look amazing! I’ve wanted figures of them in that style since I was a kid. I cannot wait to add them to the team. Now we just need a regular Leatherhead to finish them off.
Ace Duck looks so good. Banana hammock and all. Hopefully we get Stump and Sling too.
I can’t believe they made a repaint of Bellybomb based on that one cover! And I’m surprised how much I like it! Wingnut and Screwloose look great. I didn’t even notice there was a regular Shredder head included with Krang-Shredder.
