NECA TMNT Toon Line

Since this is probably the most popular NECA line right now I'll just leave this here:

I haven't listened to it through yet, but I've listened to enough to know that Ninja Splinter is part of a two-pack with a character not yet revealed and that the Panda Khan figure is on the water.

That was a fun listen/watch. Although admittedly I skipped over the comic stuff talk. The Tatsu story is amazing and that was definitely my favorite part, if not relevant to the cartoon thread.

At some point it's in my plans to go back and collect this damn line. I've actively avoided it for a long time after selling off all the figures I originally bought when the line first really kicked off. But man, it just got so good that it's almost impossible for me to keep avoiding it. I've already gotten some things, but definitely planning a lot more. One thing that really wins me over is the addition of stuff not originally in the cartoon like Samurai Mike (which I turned into Samurai Leo for obvious reasons).

I'm particularly interested to see where NECA goes with this in the future, and Trevor's comments have me pretty excited for what they could potentially be up to. King Lionheart? Pretty please?

My toon diorama shipped from the NECA store apparently.

Just peaked at that video and am super happy to hear that Panda Khan is already en route stateside and may be available as early as first quarter...    Panda Khan could be my last Ninja Turtles purchase and I'd be happy.   (Though a kickass King Lionheart would certainly be welcome)

I hope they release the "Toon Style" Last Ronin they showed a few years back, and do others in the same vein (and Panda Khan).

I just REALLY want a Jennika & Venus de Milo that will fit in my display, lol.

(Hope they at least ever get around to releasing the Archie Turtle April they teased but never revealed. At least in that case, I'd get three, and repaint the masks on the other two.)

Panda is apparently on a boat on his way over, so he's possibly a NECA store release when he gets here, since he's never been put up for preorder anywhere.

It's the toon line, so it's a Target thing, I'd think.  No pre-orders.  Quite possibly a Haulathon coming up?

They sold Usagi on their website and Target, so it's possible Panda Khan gets similar treatment.

Per YHS booth tour video, Ultimate Shredder and Panda Khan are part of Haulathon "next month".  Unclear if that means March or April, to me.

There are few words that bring me more anxiety in this hobby than "Haulathon".

This is all Turtle stuff, but the toon reveal that was previously concealed looks to be robotic Tokka and Rahzar? I'm actually still working my way through. 🙂

Definitely the lightest showing for the toon line in a long time. I don't think it's going away anytime soon, but it's the closest to an acknowledgement we're likely to get that it's starting to slow down. Especially since the big, new, reveal was more stuff inspired by, but not actually from, the cartoon. As for mecha Tokka and Rahzar, I like them. If I see them in store I probably won't pass them up, but I won't go nuts hunting them down. Shredder is the big want right now so Haulathon is going to suck, but he should be in abundant numbers. I'm guessing that for anything shown last year at SDCC that hasn't been released yet it will be part of Haulathon.

Showing the toon line at a retail buyer centric event when there's already a retailer carrying it seems redundant.

According to Trevor in Pixel Dan's walk through, the robot Tokka and Rahzar was inspired by custom vintage style customs by a fan that made that Trevor liked so much, he contacted the fan and asked if he'd help design them for the current line.

@misfit While that's true, this is just for Toy Fair. And this is the first Toy Fair since...what?  They had some bangers to show off, but this didn't feel like a crazy "all out" thing like SDCC.

Yeah... not in love with the fact that Panda Khan is tied to Haulathon... but what can you do.    Panda Khan is one I have been waiting for forever.    I will have him no matter what
