Super7: TMNT Ultimates

[citysushi]

Did alittle research. i think this casey is the best looking one. taller, thicker and better mask then the piece of toast on the face that neca made.
when i have him will repaint his shirt, pants and sneakers. his sneakers shape are perfect for a Converse repaint which i have done before. will also cover his midsection, that should be easy. shave the ridges then repaint over.

Super7 Casey? Thicker? He's lanky as f***. His legs are long and rather skinny, his midriff is pretty narrow (especially compared to his buff arms). And what kind of toast do you eat?

I have Super7 Casey and I (kinda) like him. But he's straight up garbage compared to NECA Toon (and Mirage) Casey Jones.

I like both.

We heard any updates on the van?

If NECA just did the four turtles in their toy colors, that would be good enough for me.

God, PLEASE.

And TiD molds, please.

I feel like they're overstaying their welcome on the glow toys.

[Misfit]

They must sell okay for them to keep pumping them out. I'm not a fan of that neon green and purple combo though. The only glow figures I've kind of liked that they've done have been the turtles, Baxter, and the Foot Soldier was okay. I have yet to buy any of them though. I was going to get a single turtle, but after shipping and taxes it was going to cost over 80 bucks and they're just not worth it to me.

Agreed. It was a cool variant occasionally, but now it feels like this is all they do.

I’m sure this one will be made to order too since they can’t sell otherwise without the FOMO.

I have the GITD Mutagen Man, but only because he was on sale for $26 bundled with the GITD Creature from the Black Lagoon. I would spring for Muckman and Slash at similar prices, but I'm not sure they are going to get that low.

[citysushi]

It's because the stuff isn't selling, and shops are trying to get rid of it.

[mr_mxyzptlk]

I'm really on the fence, I do kinda want the GiTD Slash, but not sure I want to pay the asking price. I did just get in GiTD Donnie, and he's pretty good. I couldn't justify getting all four though, so I settled for the best Turtle. I also have the Foot and Mutagen Man. Not sure I need an entire "second" collection in GiTD, but I do enjoy mostly the ones I do have.

[S.W.O.R.D. Agent]

Pretty sure every one of them have gone on sale so far.

Has anyone else noticed that wave 9 and Genghis from wave 8 have been pre-sold out at EE and stayed that way? You can still order them all individually at BBTS, but I have to wonder if these later waves are going to get their production numbers cut way back due to retailers being stuck with selling all of these earlier figures at huge discounts? Thundercats wave 7 seems to be going the same way.

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

[Misfit]

I haven't been following the preorders, but yeah, I've been waiting for retailers to correct for all of this stock they're hanging onto. BBTS appears to be playing the long game with these as they seem resistant to clearancing them out. Wave 9 also lacks heavy hitters so I'm not at all surprised that EE would decide to cut back there. With so many now just waiting for sales on these there has to be a breaking point coming. I know a lot of people seem to be doing that with the new MMPR figures. I'm trying to do it with Kang and Kodos from The Simpsons line, but I have a feeling those aren't going to be stocked in large quantities so I may have to go without, which is fine.

[citysushi]

Shoot, I wish some sites would clearance out the Thundercats. Been holding off on Bengali and Vultureman.

BBTS still wants over 100 dollars for that Modok with Elvis hair abomination. So.... I don't ever look to them to take a reasonable approach to clearing out figures that aren't going to move at full price. They always seem more than willing to just sit on things hoping someone will buy it or that the value will swing back around in their favor.


But yeah.. even at Clearance prices I'm pretty much out on anything Super7 except MAYBE the toy-colors Lion-O, if it ever drops in price. Besides that it's more of a 'fool me seventeen times, shame on you, fool me eighteen times shame on me' situation.
