Armaggon
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Turtles in Time (Neca) - Exclusives
Rated 4.80 stars by RMaster007
Well, this is it, after over a year, we finally got the last of the TMNT Lootcrates. We were supposed to get all of them in the course of a few months last year, but something happened to delay all but the first of them. This was supposed to be the second crate, but for reasons unknown, it ended up being the last one out. Better late than never, I suppose. The last video game TMNT crate was entirely Turtles in Time-based, but this one adds in a bit of Tournament Fighters love, starting with the included figure: Armaggon. The packaging for him is heavily reminiscent of the SNES box for the original game, with the sides recreating the artwork using figures. The ESRB ratings box, SNES-styled NECA logo, and a "seal of approval" are included here to really make it feel like an old video game...[See More]

Baxter Stockman
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Turtles in Time (Neca) - Basic Series
Rated 4.75 stars by RMaster007
While NECA’s done quite a bit of good with TMNT so far this year, especially with the Turtles in disguise 4-pack I have yet to get my hands on, but there’s a couple fans plenty excited for the return of the Mirage line. That’s how NECA got their start with the license years ago, and I’m more than eager to see what they have in store. Until then, we still have a few Turtles in Time figures to get out of the way. Aside from restocks of previous figures, the ultimate Baxter Stockman made his way to retailers last month. I was lucky enough to find him a while ago and now it’s review time. The packaging is similar in artwork to the regular figures, but the box type is the fifth-panel one used on NECA’s ultimates. On the front, we get some nice artwork of Baxter himself, with the nice campy...[See More]

Foot Soldier
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Turtles in Time (Neca) - Basic Series
Rated 4.70 stars by RMaster007
Aside from the classic cartoon and movies, there's one other adaption of TMNT NECA has covered: the classic Konami beat-em-ups. They did the original game years ago with two SDCC-exclusive four-packs, but last year saw them doing the more well-known Turtles on Time. We got two waves of figures last year, but it seems like the video game figures will be taking a break after two more releases next month in favor of Mirage figures, but restocks of the initial figures seem to be on the way as well. Anyways, I'm going to cover my favorite in the line so far, the Foot Soldier. The packaging is a window box with graphics similar to the original arcade cabinet, with a shot of the figure on the back. It's simple but at the same time very nice looking, not to mention collector-friendly. Once you...[See More]

Shell Shock Turtle
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Turtles in Time (Neca) - Exclusives
Rated 4.40 stars by RMaster007
Thought the only ways to get NECA's TMNT figures were through Target, Walmart, and comic/speciality stores? Think again. Last year saw a good amount of new TMNT Lootcrates with NECA providing an exclusive figure in each one, and we got four of those figures. A repaint of the SDCC comic Shredder in the Mirage crate, a "Shell Shocked" skeletal Turtle in the arcade crate, a bunny Rocksteady in the cartoon crate, and a bonus bunny Bebop if you pre-paid for all three crates at once. I didn't do that plan so I don't have a Bebop, and my Mirage Shredder broke an arm shortly after opening him and I need a new one, but I got the turtle and Rocksteady, and I'll be reviewing the former now. The packaging uses the same design cues as the Turtles in Time figures, though it's slimmer than what we see...[See More]

Michelangelo
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Turtles in Time (Neca) - Basic Series
Rated 5.00 stars by moviemaniacx
NECA continues to kill it with the TMNT franchise, giving us totally tubular Turtles In Time figures complete with hoverboards and stands. Michelangelo comes with his trademark nunchucks and a set of alternate hands. The coolest accessory is his weapon effect attachment that makes it look like he's twirling one of the nunchucks. Mikey is painted with that nifty pixelated look in bright colors that pop. The sculpt is very good though the scale looks closer to 6" than NECA's usual 7" scale. Not a huge deal since the line is consistent and the hoverboards make them taller. Still an aces figure. Righteous!...[See More]
