NECA 2012 Turtles

So 3 shipments at least? NECA has a funny idea regarding the meaning of the word “bundle.”
 
At least I hope there are 3 shipments. I still never got a shipping notice for the Leo/Shredder shipment. Who knows if I will ever get Raphael or Donatello. Neca is such a clusterfuck. I think I'm done ordering direct from them. What REALLY pisses me off is that I had points expiring and saw that the American Werewolf in London two pack that I have really been wanting was now amongst the things you could choose as a reward. I was a little short and now my biggest chunk of points have expired so I'm sure I will never have enough to get that 2 pack now.
 
I never did get a shipping notice from NECA, despite receiving my entire order in one shipment. Just wild how varied everyone's experiences have been with these.
 
Yeah Neca is all over the place. I had ordered direct from them the morning the pre order went live. First time ever ordering from them. Got shipping notice on Oct 7 saying delivery Oct 19 for Mikey. Looks like the weight is 1.2 lbs so just him. Nothing else as far as rest of the order.

I watched the Nick TMNT with my son. Those were his first action figures. He loved setting them up on the giant sewer lair we got him for his pre-school "graduation". I got him all the mix and match figures, and he loved swapping all their parts. He as into it for about two years, then ditched figures for Pokemon cards. And pretty soon after that, ditched cards for Minecraft, then Fortnite, and so on. Action figures were a very small part of his childhood, whereas for me, my collections lasted well into middle school.

But because I watched the show with my son, I have a soft spot for the characters and figures. I wound up collecting plenty of the 2012 figures myself, despite them clearly being made for kids. Having these designs at collector level is something that very much appeals to me. But I'm apprehensive about getting into yet another line, of yet another incarnation of the TMNT. And I know this selection can go DEEP. But if I had to choose? I'm way more connected to this incarnation than Archie, Mirage, heck, even the 1987 line. 2012 is fresher on my memory. And it legitimately was a great show with throwbacks to so many of the previous versions. It really is my favorite, besides the original line or 1990 movie.

Similar to me with my kids except I was able to get them into old VHS/DVDs of my old cartoons like GI Joe, TMNT, He-Man, etc. When the oldest two were in preschool we played with the MOTU Classics together and retro vintage TMNT. Eventually we also got into Legos as well but yeah they all moved on at much younger ages than I did. Although my son still has his Lego Star Wars Clone Wars collection and my daughters still have some Marvel figures displayed on their shelves.
