It looks like they've done all new sculpts for these figures, so it'd make sense for them to make the most out of them and do a wide release of these figures in some form. And it's certainly something NECA is known for.

Also, considering how everyone is going nuts about having these (myself included!) NECA would be crazy not to make these more accessible.

But time will tell!

Dude, its not Neca holding these back from the general public. Don't think for a second that they wouldnt want to put these on as many retail shelves as possible.

There is a licensing agreement in place that dictates that Neca can only make TMNT figures in this scale as convention exclusives, and not only that but as box sets to boot. Its fact. Neca has said so...theres no official details as to who is holding them back at this point but I can say with 99.9% certainty that its Playmates toys.

So when we all pay 200 plus large for these figures instead of maybe $100, we can thank playmates toys...yet again.

Ahhhh, if that's the case, then that's a sad situation indeed.

Super sad. Neca has by far made the best TMNT figures to date (re: the comic style turtles), and Playmates squashed the 2nd wave of those and now they are stoping this from being a homerun at retail.

Like I had mentioned above...i really wish playmates would just suck up their pride and let Neca feed the collector's market with TMNT figures and just keep making the kid's stuff.

Sadly I will end up paying out the ass for these one way or another, they are just that good.
