NECA Archie Comics Line

Hopefully they can wow us with some standard turtles at least before Neca loses the license. At least, I'm assuming that's what will happen with Mattel holding the master now. Hopefully I'm wrong on that. I grew up with the cartoon, but my nostalgia goggles focus in the most on the Archie comics stuff.
 
I've been seeing the single releases of the Wrasslin' turtles at every ROSS around here. Some stores get up to 8 figures, some only 2-4. But, I will say, they've been selling through. So either they're finding their market (I mean, $15...c'mon), or scalpers are stupid and buying them.
 
I randomly came across Black suit Raphael at Ross today. Even though I already have the four-pack, I got him. Just seemed right since it was the only one there and I’ve always loved that look in the Archie comics since I was a kid. Would’ve been great if they could have included an alternate head, but then it probably wouldn’t have been as affordable. It’s pretty nice looking packaging, so I may keep it sealed.
 
They're so cheap that they're probably easy money for scalpers. Some may be speculators too as if this is the only avenue for release they could have some value for the patient, not that I would advise on making such a wager, but for $15 plenty of folks will.
 
I have the Archie set already, and several still sat at my Target for months even recently. That said, I wouldn't mind having an extra Raphael because he looked great in that all black suit, and I'm fairly jealous of those of you who have access to a fabled Ross store. I will never see those figures in person to buy. It's not even worth the hunt as Ross stores are pretty non-existent in my radius.

I also would grab another Raph if I came across him. I'd have like to see a swap out torso, sometimes in the comics if he was relaxing he'd have his torso exposed, reminded me of Spider-Man and the symbiote (though I guess that was sort of the point lol).
