NECA 1/4 Scale TMNT 1990's Turtles

[dukefett]

Randy just revealed that Elias Koteas refused to participate in lending his likeness for the Casey Jones character, in spite of Randy’s best efforts to sway him otherwise. WTF Koteas?! Really? SMH....

That really sucks, glad NECA cleared the air and I won't blame them. I guess they did the same for Richard Dreyfuss for the Jaws set but he didn't want in either. I really don't get it, unless the money was insultingly low or something, but sounds he just didn't wanna do it. That I don't get, who cares, let your fans have their fun.

I dont understand why a lot of these actors say no to toy companies. If that was me Id be like "hell yeah Id love to have a figure of myself out there!"

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Huh? That?s so weird that some actors don?t want there likeness on toys. Does it scare them or something or is it a money thing.

Probably money, or lack of time to sign paper work and approving sculpts and whatever legal protocols are necessary to make a figure. He's probably busy, and the last thing in his mind is some little company trying to get in touch to make a figure from a 30 year old movie he probably doesn't even like.

That’s a shame but some actors are weird that way. I mean it’s the role he’s probably the most known for and there’s a fandom for the franchise. I get it at the time things were different as far as merchandising, but anymore any actor who’s been part of a comic type film or any franchise film should know the demand is out there for merchandise. Just strikes me odd to hold out.

Either that or maybe he thinks his likeness is worth more than it actually is. I mean he isn’t exactly a huge name in Hollywood and his role as Casey Jones is probably what stands out the most among his filmography.

maybe something to do with their religious beliefs. like no altars or statues of themselves.

It could also be that, as much as people love the character, he may not want to be reminded that he played it. Sometimes actors take on projects to pay the bills, maybe he looks at it as something he did for a job but doesn't want collectibles and things reminding him of his participation.

Shoot, we're not asking him to buy them.

not unless he included a clause that prohibits it.

man it's not like he's stallone or jacky chan who had to start their career by acting in soft porn movies and don't want to be reminded of that.

finally i have the very first form of 1/4 TMNT!!!

thanks to V-Raptor for shells repaint and the puddle of mutagen. it looks like liquid but is firm, can be placed anywhere and won't attract any dust like liquids do.

 

[dukefett]

Wow that's awesome! Is someone selling the set of the puddle and turtles?

 

[P.]

no one does, it was a custom order, one of a kind.

Very nice man!

Where did everybody go in this thread?

Randy tweeted yesterday that more movie figures in the 1/4 are being made. They will release them after the 1/4 Cartoon Turtles. So probably I'm finally getting my Splinter. I'm waiting more then 1,5 year on this guy... and I only want thise figures in one scale so I pass on the 7" versions.

Something else guys: please see my collection below. These are bookcases and one major disadvantage of these is that they aren't dustfree because stupid Ikea don't have doors for it. You can perfectly hide LED strips in it though.. I also want the 1/4 Turtles inside the cases.

So I want to buy Besta's closet elements and put the glass doors on it with the black border (kind of big border but acceptable) and put LED strips in it. But I would really like to put the turtles on 1 shelf with no divider between it. Is this possible with a half riser shelf in the besta? I know that without the shelf only 3 is the max.

Please let me know. Thanks.

Psycho buddy: Is this a Besta closet element? Did you use the half shelf of Ikea for Don and Raph?

Was actually coming here just to ask. How well do all 4 of these fit into a Besta?
