NECA 2012 Turtles

Be careful with Shredder once you all get him. He's really fragile. Mine took a dive off my desk, and I thought everything was fine. Just now I noticed his left shoulder armor had snapped off. All of the armor is ABS plastic, the hard stuff. It helps the blades all hold their shape. But since it's all so thin, it's also brittle. One of the blades from his left leg had popped out when I was taking him from the original packaging. I don't know if I'd have preferred PVC plastic that would eventually wilt, but this guy is covered in a bunch of stuff that could very easily break off. Don't know if I love that trade.

I'm glad I went for two of them, because one of mine is completely missing one of his gauntlet blades. Not in the box, not on my floor, just...never attached.

Mystery FedEx package showed up today. Twas the rest of my Walmart order--Donnie and Mikey.

Meaning NECA still needs to send out my second set of Raph, Leo, and Donnie.

My mystery NECA labeled box arrived today, and it was my Walmart Shredder.
I'm not going to correct anyone about attaching the incorrect tracking number to my order, which forced me to file a claim because I assumed it was mis-delivered. Walmart and NECA can take the "L" on that one.
He is an imposing figure, exactly what the Playmates version SHOULD have been back then.
Still no movement on my other 3 turtles, but hopefully soon since they've been in stock on Walmart again.

Tiger Claw looks good. I want to see Slash though, they already hinted at him at SDCC with his spiked mace hidden in the display.

Oh, they showed the digital sculpt, too. There was a Turtle toy panel, and they showed him, Splinter, and Casey. I think they said he'll be 7.5 or 8 inches tall.
 
If it’s any consolation, even though you can still order these turtles from Walmart, they aren’t shipping immediately. Mine are scheduled for a couple of weeks out

I ordered a lone movie Mikey plus the Archie Wingnut from Walmart and I'm curious if NECA ships those before they ship me my 2012 set I ordered through them. If I had to place a wager, I'd guess the Walmart orders go through first.
