Stan Sakai style Turtles:

The Stan Sakai turtles are pretty damn charming. I wonder how they'll be released? There's also a Mirage box set of turtles in disguise.
Oh dammit, I was just thinking I have enough sets of turtles. Fml, I’m in.
I can skip those Gangster Turtles, but the Sakai set of Turtles looks appealing. But seriously, I can't believe how many iterations of these guys we have at this point.
Basically thinking the same thing. I'll get that Usagi for sure, and I'm very close to caving on the Sakai Turtles.
Both the Sakai Turtles and The Unmentionables look great but I think I'm good with the Eastman/Lawson RTNY versions. Think the only sets I'd probably get now are Leo Micro/Vol. 1 #10-11 era Eastman/Laird and maybe a set of Dooney Turtles.
The Unmentionables 4-pack is set to release during Haulathon, according to one of the walkthroughs I watched.
The Unmentionables is the first time I'll ever buy a full set of Turtles. All time wishlist stuff. I am so praying they release a Casey and April two-pack to complete the set... maybe with the cow?
Sakai Turtles definitely opens the door to a lot of things. I think a Dooney Turtles set, with included Eastman/Laird heads of that issue 10/11 era would be perfect. Also need a City at War era Casey, and a Karai based on the one cover design everyone likes.
I'm surprised the Sakai turtles are releasing as Ultimates. I thought for sure they'd be a set, possibly a five-pack with Usagi, and sold on the NECA Store with maybe an edition on Stan's storefront (I think he did that with Usagi, if I'm not mistaken). I guess it's a good thing as I don't know if I actually need the Usagi as well. I know it seems weird to get the Stan Sakai turtles and not Usagi, but I feel covered by the toon ones they've already done.
Toy Shiz just says "coming to Target in and around April", but at least five of these were confirmed Haulathon items in varous walkthroughs I watched, so possibly all of them are?
I've resisted NECA's turtle offerings so far but those Sakai turtles are too good, I can't wait to get them. Hopefully they will be relatively easy to find.
Super Turtle w/ Domeoids is up on BBTS: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/308472
Looks like they're using the Domeoids to justify a $50 MSRP, like they did with Last Ronin April and the toddler Turtles she comes with.
No thanks. BBTS is probably tacking on a few bucks, but I think you're right in that MSRP is likely $50. Dracular Shredder is over $40 and it seems like new tariffs are threatened daily. I'm expecting a bump in most NECA products coming in 2025.
Dracula Shredder is $40 on the NECA Store, so that's the MSRP. Only question is whether they're considering him a deluxe release at the price or if it's a going-forward Ultimates price. No way 20% China tariffs aren't gonna make a price-hike inevitable.
