Official TMNT thread, R.I.P to the OG Master Splinter

[rfx45]

family comes first, there's going to be plenty of cons and you'll get another opportunity

also, the besta posted earlier isn't going to fit all 4 lengthwise, maybe without an action pose
I knew the height but damn I didn't anticipate how wide they are, I might just pose 3 in the bottom and maybe get a shelf above and see if I can get Mikey to lie down on his side up top

Details on these are amazing. Just beautiful. TMNT and T2 are my most watched films as a kid, mostly because it's the only VHS we had readily available at home and when I get bored I just pop it in. Always had me craving pizza hah.

Sorry about the pics. All 4 definitely aren't going to fit in the Ikea Besta, 3 barely fits standing up straight, I'm gon' have to rethink my display strategy/placement.

Thanks for the heads up on the fitment.

I currently have a BESTA set for the TV and was considering the shelf unit to display the figures. But it looks like I have continue searching.

Update on the SDCC TMNT Set: Tracking number never updated and missed the estimated delivery date. Reached out to NECA for an update and have yet to hear anything. I hope my order didn't get lost.

Damn, was hoping you would get yours in today and get a quick review. I know some folks got them on YouTube, but those guys are annoying AF. I hope you get your set man, you were holding down the info in this thread.

For Besta, if you get the one the bigger one with a depth of ~15", it might work if the pose isn't too static. The depth of the Besta I got is only ~7" so with the big shell, it is borderline in closing a glass door.

If you don't mind separating them, you can get this 47"x16"x25" and two should fit fine in side with enough depth if you want the figures kicking up or something (it might be the same one holding your tv?):

As for your shipment, give NECA a call. I ordered those figures at Walmart.com and it didn't ship for a week so I called them and spoke to someone real nice that helped me out. Apparently Walmart isn't a priority order and even suggested I ordered from TRU as they get priority and ships right away. Eventually she just called the warehouse here California and within 2 days I got shipping confirmation and received it the next day since I'm just by the LA area. When spoke person I spoke to couldn't guarantee an immediate shipment, she offered to ship from their office in NJ but they only had two figures in hand over there so I opted to just wait for the warehouse here in CA. So yeah give them a call and see what's up or if they attempted a delivery and you missed it, just call the shipper and have them hold it in the closest facility and then just pick it up there.

If you're planning on opening them, post a review about the articulation of the turtles.

Thanks for the kind words, I actually got an email from them with a new tracking number through FedEx. My order is now scheduled to arrive on Thursday. Let's see how that goes.

Man, that seems to be the same depth of the BESTA set I have my TV sitting on. Not sure if I want them posed individually right now...Maybe, if it's the 'last' resort.

If you're planning on opening them, post a review about the articulation of the turtles.

I wanted to take some photos and do a really, really casual review of them. If I do, I'll share my insights with you all.

Glad some NTers are getting their sets today.

Nice, now all you need is Mikey. I haven't even opened up Leo from the shipping packaging yet lol

 

[rillo561]

I was so close to pulling the trigger on the Neca 1/4 Donatello last night, package was listed as "not mint" but they wanted to charge me $13.00 for shipping. Kind of killed the deal for me.

Is NECA still selling them? They ship the figures pretty well.

 

[rfx45]

it qualifies for free shipping at ToysRUs.com

or was it discounted because the package was not mint?

I didn't mind that my box wasn't perfect since I was going to display them anyways

I want Mikey out already


and I think most stores takes orders and then they let NECA know and then NECA ships them, that's the case with Walmart and ToysRUs at least

Nice! That wait for Mikey is tough though, especially whenever I see the 3 boxes of Turtles just sitting in my garage

This was through EE, with the taxes and shipping cost it was basically retail.

I think it was discounted because of the box, which I feel the same way you do, I don't care, I just wanted the figure.

Lol. For some reason I haven't opened up my Leo either. I just have Raphael and Don displayed together.

 

[rfx45]

I don't have the patience to keep them in packages lol once I knew they were arriving, it had me driving to Ikea right away (twice) to get the whole thing set up

 

[rillo561]

I usually don't open my figures, but those Neca 1/4 turtles are too dope to keep them in the box.

 

[swaynomics930]

I love displaying my figures but I have to wait I have no room in my apartment right now. I hate keeping things in boxes.

 

[Fozz]

My latest tracking number given to me by NECA has yet to update.

But that could be because the set is being delivered from CA. Hoping it updates later this afternoon.

 

[rillo561]

Got my SDCC pack today....so dope! Thanks again fozzy badfeet, I hope you get yours soon man.

 

[rfx45]

nice! share some pics if you can


and sorry but one more pic of the current set-up, I just stacked two of those bestas and then put one shelf below so there isn't too much negatice space on top of the figures, not ideal to have them separate but it'll do for now (at least they can have a more dynamic pose than just standing all cramped lol), just need Mikey up top with Leo to finish it off

 

[rillo561]

Sick man, nice pics.

 

[rfx45]

damn, looks like I'm gon' need another besta lol
