I'm the opposite, though I also already have the street scene dio and the Van ordered. I'm a "Yes" on the punk turtles as I always found those getups amusing. As for everything else I'm a "No" or "Likely No." The giant Krang is one of my maybes, but I no longer know what to expect from NECA when it comes to pricing so I'm definitely not going to hold my breath on that one. Trevor said he thought it would be the same as the giant Turtles (around $125-$130), but those were four releases utilizing the same molds. There's no way Krang comes in at that price.
As for the rest, eh, maybe business suit Casey? It's a fun look and I appreciate the silly stuff with this line, but I also don't need another Casey or another Foot Soldier. I already have 3 sets of turtles so the solo releases of them do nothing for me. I'm one and done with Usagi and the samurai/space two-pack are fine, but not essential. Yeah, my time with this line is definitely winding down. The only figure I feel like I need is Tempestra and another set I'd like to see is the geriatric turtles from the flash-forward episode. A new, better, Shredder could also possibly get me.
Looking ahead, I think these will be my purchases:
Ultimate Turtles: Yes to all
Big Krang: most likely Yes
Kitchen and Lab Dios: Yes, if they happen
Usagi 4-pack: No
Space Usagi: No
Space/Samurai Turtles 2-Pack: No
Suit Casey/Slashed Foot: Yes
Punk Turtles: most likely Yes
Evil Rex-1: 50/50
Van reissue: Yes, if it happens
Street Dio reissue: Yes, if it happens
April Apartment Accessories: Yes, if they happen
More Yeses than Nos from me in 2024 thus far.
These are all a yes for me! 😀
I feel like at this point the Sewer Lair and the Turtle Van will actually ship within a month of eachother.

Good. Clear the deck for the Kitchen dio 🙂
Truth be told I'd still fork out for these things that will never get made:
- Generic Sewer w/Water Dio
- Channel 6 News Van
- Channel 6 Newsroom Dio
- Channel 6 News Motorcycle
- Technodrome Control Room
- Technodrome Transport Module Vehicle
I'd buy a Channel 6 Newsroom in a heartbeat, same with the Technodrome Control Room.
The Newsvan and Transport Module would be an instant buys too!
Toy Anxiety's Craig got a damn Turtle Van in! You can watch him open it and review it here:

Link says it's Private.
Oh snap, wonder if they put it up for their patreon folk and accidentally had it public for a moment. That's funny...I still have the video open and watching it now, haha. Well it looks great. And huge.
He put up an edited version of the livestream that cuts all the dead air and talking to chat.
Looks like it turned out very well. Hopefully we all start seeing some movement on our orders soon.

Why will the last three not get made? I would personally be surprised if those weren't made at some point. Considering there are easily another 200 to 300 figures left to produce in this line that would make great action figures, along with many 'what if' figures, then there will inevitably be a few more 'big' things such as dioramas and vehicles still to be released in the future.
The first one I would class as a 'maybe' since Trevor has already revealed that they have been working on one or two additional sewer lair rooms beyond the kitchen and laboratory.
Looks like a beautiful piece. I love how the turtles go from must-not-be-seen to designing their own turtle branding to emblazon boldly onto their ostentatious vehicles. But an unmarked white van wouldn't have the same toy appeal I suppose!
That box looks wayyyy bigger than I thought it would next to a human. In the display case my mind shrunk it considerably. I think I'm eventually just going to cut out the front art of the boxes like these and throw the rest out. Maybe someday build some frames for a few of them to hang around the display.

I'm wondering if the appetite for large, expensive toys is slowly drying up after a deluge in recent years.
We don't know how successful the Sewer Lair was. Maybe its success will be publicly measured by how quickly the next dio goes up for pre-order.
The character continues to be the best figures from the company.
I am definitely going to display all of them as different anthro-rabbit characters, with only one being UY proper.
My sick & dying wallet is dreading it, but I am so emotionally ready for that 4-pack.
Since Super7 is now doing cartoon versions for their Reaction line, do you think we could get NECA doing repaints of the four Turtles in their toy colors?
