NECA Mirage Comics line

I do not like how NECA has seemingly decided waist articulation is unnecessary if they put a ball joint up in the diaphragm. I never expect NECA figures to be super articulated, but waist joints are pretty standard.
 
Picked up the Worms Shredder 2pk the other day at Walmart. They had 4-5 left on the shelf. Don't know if they were fresh, but this same store also dropped Archie Shredder to $15, and while I didn't check prices, they're sitting on a bunch of blue Belly Bomb too.
 
I saw the same situation at my local Walmart last week. Couldn't pass up the $15 Shred, so now I have a Shredder and a Shredder-Krang in my display. That two pack is still too rich for me as that worm Shredder would go in a bin. If that one hits clearance to where I feel like I'm just paying for the one figure then I'll bite. Otherwise, I'll make do without.
 
I was going to try some swaps with my bag of extra parts on that shirtless Shredder, try to make him into a new Foot character. I already have the old NYCC Shredder, so I don't exactly NEED this one, but I liked the proportions, and I have multiple Mirage Turtles he could be grouped with anyway.
 
I have the old Shredder as well. I like him with the original Mirage turtles. This new one would pair well with the Lawson ones, but I also have Karai-Shredder so if I never get this one it won't break my heart. I like the proportions on him, but I don't love the sculpt. It's good enough, just not good enough to pay a premium for.
