Opened the Foot Bots and Tiger Claw this morning, and they are exceptional.
The Foot Bots are sturdy. The forearms and lower legs use a much more rigid plastic than I associate with NECA. As a result, they feel like they won't wilt at all. But also results in some very tight hinges. Nothing heat can't fix, but I had no source handy, so I just used care. They come loaded with accessories x2: busted head, sickle hand, mace hand, knife pair, grip pair, relaxed pair, and fist pair (which are already attached), a knife (non-removable sheath on the back of each belt), a sword and sheath (which can be slung around the torso if you remove the head and back arm). Range of motion isn't fantastic in the elbows and knees, but everything else feels pretty good. Had a few stuck joints on mine, one neck hinge that won't move without heat, random elbow (out of eight, that's not bad). Could pull off a two hand grip on the sword, but it was tough.
Tiger Claw is a beast. He's the brightest orange I've seen since ML retro card Tigra. He's pretty tall and has plenty of articulation, most of which feels pretty tight. He comes with a non-scarred, closed mouth head, a scarred, roaring head, fists, grips, open pairs of hands, two pistols that can be holstered, two sets of pink and blue blast effects for each, a smaller pistol with no where to be stored, a blast effect for his jetpack, a prosthetic arm with a mechanical hand that can be swapped with claws. He moves well enough, though the hips are VERY tight and ankle range is limited. He looks sensational though. He even has whiskers on both heads made from what looks like fishing line. Amazing.
I honestly still can't believe they're doing figures from this show. I'd be so tempted to go all in, and with the license likely ending, it's pretty likely I will, since I'm sure the line won't have time to go that deep. I'm really looking forward to Slash and Casey and Metalhead, and it would be a dream come true to get an in-scale Leatherhead. I'll obviously get Splinter, and if they make her, April. But I'd love Dog Pound and Fish Face as well. Don't know if I NEED Bebop and Rocksteady, or Snakeweed or Baxter. Oh, a Kraang Bot in human and exposed form would be excellent too.
