MONDO 1/6 TMNT

I would think Mondo's license is the safest since they're in a different scale and price point from what a master license holder wants. Just like how they can produce Marvel stuff with Hasbro having the master license.
 
They seem to be doing one turtle, one villain per release. Or that's what was hinted at with the Shredder coming. I guess we'll see how that plays out.

I would be royally screwed if they started producing animated Marvel stuff in 1/12th.

If that holds true, then I have to imagine NECA could still work the "we stay in this spot, while you stay in the main aisle" setup they've been doing, and they certainly were always good at working loopholes like with the DC figures. Playmates tried to do collector stuff, and that never seemed to get in the way (regardless of how bad they were). I'm very curious to see where this all drops.
 
Anything is possible. Viacom's people seem to have a good working relationship with a lot of their licensees where they pitch stuff and earmark things for companies. And if the new licensee is only interested in the kid stuff then everyone likely keeps getting to make turtles. If it is indeed Mattel though then that could be an issue. They seem to like to do both, but maybe they won't in this case. At least not upfront. My real fear with NECA is just that everyone likely views the 87 cartoon as the most valuable part of the license so they could easily get squeezed out of making those figures while potentially being allowed to hang onto some of the comic stuff (Archie might be too close to the toon) and things like Fortnite.
