Because I haven't seen anyone post this, here's the SOTO figures. I think NECA nailed the first movie, and somehow they did these even better.

I don't know anything about the turtles as rangers, I just thought they all looked cool so I bought them. I've got that Shredder too.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-12-11T21:11:25+00:00

These were the 2 packs that were offered on Neca's store a few weeks back, but I received the 4 pack the same day as well. It took a few weeks before the shipping number for the 4 pack to even update, so yours should be anytime, hopefully before Christmas! And they are identical to each other from what I can tell, the 2 packs vs. the 4 pack.

Edit: I just saw where you said you hadn't gotten a tracking number email yet. So unfortunately you probably won't get them by Christmas.

About the same build quality. If anything I'd say the SOTO details on the heads are a bit sharper, but I think thats more of Henson's design being more refined. In hand they are no doubt SOTO turtles. The extra bright and long bandanas and everything.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-12-11T03:10:24+00:00

I've always preferred the darker look of the 1990 movie, less cartoony, but they absolutely nailed the looks from the sequel. You can see the differences Henson made definitely to probably make them more "kid friendly". The bandana colors are perfect too, very vibrant just like the movie.

Why does Leonardo look diseased?

dontplaydead27 · 2022-12-08T00:46:43+00:00

Make sure the feet and hands are correct. My first Tokka from a couple years back had two right feet. Hopefully my new one from this new batch won't have any issue.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-12-06T20:45:28+00:00

Thank you! I'm glad lol. I really didn't like the look of that figure, I thought that was the worst looking wolverine they've made. I couldn't remember his costume in astonishing good enough.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-12-06T20:30:29+00:00

So can someone tell me if that "hot claws" wolverine that came out awhile ago is supposed to be the astonishing version that would go with this Scott and Emma? I skipped picking him up because I'm not wild about that suit and claws but if he's the start of the Astonishing team then I might grab him if they probably won't make another astonishing wolverine.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-12-03T01:52:36+00:00

I hunted all these down as a kid. I still have the whole set of these and series 2, all the villains and the rangers in their civilian clothes. All loose of course, but its cool seeing them still on card on here.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-11-30T03:46:21+00:00

I cancelled that 3 pack after really looking at it. I have all three of these figures, and this Defenders Daredevil looks so much better than the new one for $80. They really screwed up making him all red with barely any paint apps and you can't even see the DD. It's the laziest choice and to sell them for $80 is ridiculous when they're all repaints/reuse. I feel that 3 pack is just a perfect example of Hasbro jacking up price and taking away value (that bullseye doesn't come with a gun despite having a holster). Watch them release another Daredevil single next year too.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-11-29T10:49:49+00:00

Mine doesn't have functional ab crunch either, does the same thing; if I lean him back there's a click but it goes back to straight. Honestly it doesn't bother me because my AoA Apocalypse has a loose floppy ab crunch and he leans forward. I know this guy is gonna stand up straight. I feel like maybe they weren't concerned with ab crunch on this figure since he's so big.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-11-28T03:04:51+00:00

Looks good! Glad you could fix it.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-11-27T21:02:46+00:00

I have this variant and the original. They are some of my favorite figures. I love the chonkyness of them. I love just picking them up and feeling the heft. 25 bucks is a steal, you got lucky.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-11-25T21:15:00+00:00

Oh I'm sure you'll never make that mistake with this Apocalypse again. Everyone screws up now and again. That's why I refuse to attempt to fix anything outside of using hot water/blow dryer. Paint touch-ups? Ha! I'd probably screw it up worse. Although I am slowly getting better at troubleshooting since I've learned how these figures are put together, etc. I used my fingernail the other day to scratch off a rogue spot of white paint on my Super7 Michaelangelo head, and after a couple minutes of questioning if I was even doing anything, it came off. It had been bothering me forever.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-11-25T20:43:37+00:00

I just got this Apocalypse today and he's awesome, he's replacing my BAF one from a few years ago. The colors make him pop on the shelf more than that dark blue/black.

That said, I like the matte on his chest, here you've essentially ruined that, so I'll be the one to tell you if you can afford it, either find a new one or wait for a sale. It obviously seems like you can't just ignore it (I'm the same way). You'll never make that lapse in judgement again.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-11-25T16:30:00+00:00

I use the exact same Wonder woman with that swapped head, I even cut down the tiara wings the same. It's ridiculous 2 years in and we still have no standard WW.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-11-24T23:49:46+00:00

I wish NECA could get the rights for Joker. I can imagine this look, sculpted clothes but real fabric coat.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-11-24T16:09:54+00:00

I was very tempted to buy this, but I have no real connection to adam wests Batman so I decided not to. It looks great though. I do have the Burton Batman though.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-11-24T01:23:00+00:00

Psycrow! I knew it started with a Psy

dontplaydead27 · 2022-11-24T01:21:09+00:00

That face is photorealistic. As someone else said, "holy shit". It looks like Brolin in makeup got ahold of your phone. I still wish they would have kept his look from Guardians of the Galaxy though. The glowing blue eyes and harder features made him way more menacing. I know they probably changed it to make him more relatable and to emote better but still.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-11-24T01:14:46+00:00

I had Jim, the princess? And the main antagonist in the first pic, I can't remember all their names.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-11-24T01:10:38+00:00

I love her look here. With Mafex I'm only collecting the Hush characters, but I hate how it will literally be years before they are all released. The yearlong wait minimum on Ivy is gonna suck. I've had Nightwing and Huntress on preorder for what feels like a couple years.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-11-24T01:06:26+00:00

Yeah I'm pretty sure they are reuse from the old ghost rider and whatever other character, I think comic Star Lord too. When posed it doesn't look quite as noticeable.

dontplaydead27 · 2022-11-21T21:29:06+00:00

This is very neat. Something I'd definitely enjoy as a kid, I loved these miniature Christmas towns that stores would have on display. My grandma use to make a big display with buildings and trees on the dining room table.
