I find it funny that the actress who portrayed April O'neil on the first movie hated to be in it (and that's why she was replaced on the second), but she announced the Neca figure as if she was a number one fan and it was a big deal apparently for collectors or whatever. Anyway, that's the power of $$$
I’m pretty sure the problem was that she hated the movie it was she didn’t like the violence and she thought it was too much for a children movie and when she try to talk it out with the directors they simply replaced her after some discussion which dad combine with a Pins nagging about violence explains the Toneshift from the first and second movie
What are you talking about? If anything she was always enthousiastic, reuniting cast members during the pandemic to talk about the movie long before the announcement of the figure ever came about. Hell, she even managed to convince Elias Koteas to give the rights to his face sculpt. She’s very aware of the fan base and knows she owes a lot to that movie, despite what she may have thought about it back then. That’s what happens over 3 decades, people see things differently
Just because I'm all in doesn't mean that I have a problem; I can quit anytime I want.. Yes, neca made the reissue of this figure with the corrected knees; however, I was only able to find it on Ali express at the moment.
I really feel like those joints work very well in certain places. Because you have double joints with swivels already attached. For sword-wielding knights, for example, who need to grip the sword with two hands, I feel like it could work very well, since you need a lower swivel than the bicep swivel at the shoulder (because it can run into the chest sculpt, but you need a way to cross the arm over it). I'm in the process of designing a figure line of my own, and I really like that style of double joint for baggy or armored elbows. Of course, for nude arms it wouldn't really work. And it looks like I'm not the only one thinking this, as a new fantasy line is also using these joints.
The new one has the updated knees. You can get a bootleg of this same figure from Alli express or whatever that has the new knees. Factory workers stole the mold or something and bootlegged it with new knees.
The running change has better knees, everyone clowned NECA for these double knees and like Casey Jones, they fixed it. Haven't seen any in the wild so I can't verify for sure but I've seen more of the good ones than janky ones
@@FireBomberBassist and a "complete" Paint, as in not skipping some paints detail like Mcfarlane & Legends. Wish they all just up the price & add more (or the essentials) paints, I wouldn't have a problem tbh.
@@GamingMafia_id oh yeah mcfarlane really did drop the ball, at least for dc. Do you remember that rebirth superman with the red line painted over the boot sculpt
While I usually prefer movie designs, I also Prefer 6” not 7” so I am sticking with just the turtles , Tokka and Rhazor, I can excuse scale weirdness with my other figures because they are mutants.
I remember living for the turtles. I remember loving the movie. I think I bottomed out at Super Shredder, because I didn't even remember it happening, but it looked fucking sick. I don't think I need any more though.
Also, my theory on the knees: It's not a decision an action figure enthusiast would make. But for the likeness rights Judith Hoag got final say on the figure. I bet those knees looked better in the digital renders/prototype phase and she pushed for them without knowing how they would land in the final product.
I collect mostly cartoon. I have the movie turtles, splinter, shredder and super shredder. Trying not to go too deep in those for my wallets sake. Im all in the cartoon though
The legs are atrocious. I never took it out of the box when I got it bc I hate the legs. I’m waiting for the two pack with her and Casey so I can display that one instead.

Never thought I would see Judith Hoag's April in action figure form.
I just got mine yesterday and she has the updated knees which looks 100x better
Where did you get it?
Are you still making customs how much is it for a 3D model of a Anatomy male and female
I am willing to pay

The details on her clothing and hair look so good. What the hay with those knees though?! Thanks for the great review Anthony 💯🤟😻
Finally a Rocky Dennis figure from the movie mask

With a tear in my eye, I salute those brave factory workers.
I just got her from AliExpress and I swear you would never know. This is the best quality NECA figure I've ever handled.
@@joeldelahunty1250 how long did it take to come out of curiosity. I never ordered from there, I might.
I’m in for all of the MAIN characters. Passed on Danny & on the saki pack. Had food soldiers but sold them unfortunately.

Are neca figures in this scale usually more expensive than marvel legends?
NECA figures are usually around $30
A little more.You get way more accessories and stuff though most of the time.

The 6-inch Raphael figure should've also been given the same sai that was include with the April O'Neil figure.
I saw a review where NECA changed the leg articulation.
In response to your question, actually don't collect this line. I just watch most of your reviews and mentally critic the figures myself.
While I usually prefer movie designs, I also

I’m all the way in for movies and cartoons. Maybe the third movie
I always liked Judith Hoag as April. I didn't like the actress who replaced her.
Hoag shouldn't have complained about how violent the first film was.
I have the shredder and splinter 2 pack. I would like to get the 4 turtles, but that’s it.
got the turtles, Casey, and the foot soldier 2 pack
if I could find more of them I'd probably pick them up, but I'm pretty happy with what I have
Do you think this figure will get rereleased eventually I missed out on it and can’t find it for a decent price
Zup Anthony 😎👍🏼
When are they releasing Shredder's right hand man? I got the Turtles, her, Casey, Splinter, Shredder & 2 Foot. If I get him...I'm good
Neca wasn't able to get the sign off for the actor's likeness.
@@muziqmuze I hope they do eventually. He's sorely missed
Yeah he is... I think they said he didn't understand what neca was asking him.. so he didn't respond...

Wow those knees are horrible now Im happy I havent found this figure!
The legs are atrocious. I never took it out of the box when I got it bc I hate the legs. I’m waiting for the two pack with her and Casey so I can display that one instead.
Never seen knees so bad lol
I would appreciate a Sailor moon from SH figuarts review, I wanna get my gf one ☺️
Hey, can you make a custom Ratcatcher 2 from The Suicide Squad?
Wished at least she comes with her yellow jacket? Not to have to buy from a 3rd party😑
There is a version with the jacket
