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.
 
I cobbled together a non-battle damaged red Shredder out of a $7 clearanced Elite Guard and the blue battle damaged Shredder.
 
Those are awesome showings, ESPECIALLY the triceraton trooper! Finally! Now that's another army builder I have to pick up. I'm praying he's not as much as the gladiator, but the trikes are bigger, so...I'm expecting it. The demons, Christ, those are cool looking too.
 
Not sure if it'll be at all Walmarts, but one of the local ones here got in 5 of the black and white Foot Ninja on the shelf (the once AutoT release). Wonder if Renet and Shredder will be found in the wild too. They were full price, so...
 
Some people were finding blue Renet over the summer. So far it seems mostly random, but NECA was making it somewhat a priority to get out some old stuff for this current promotion.
