I got lucky this time, but the hoops that Playmates toys forces NECA are a load of bullshit. All this stems from the fact that the NECA Mirage TMNT have blown everyrjing Playmates has done out of the water... and they're being Very petty about it.
I get that Playmates Toys doesn't want competition with their own brand. The thing is that Playmates caters to children... NECA caters to the Adult collector. Well, how about this novel idea: If Playmates doesn't want RETAIL COMPETITION from NECA, then how about allowing NECA to do some ONLINE ONLY EXCLUSIVES from Mirage Comics, 1990s movies (possibly The Next Mutation), 1990s videogames, and maybe SOME of the 1987 cartoon. Playmates isn't doing anything with those segments of the brand. Here NECA would be acting as a sort of subcontractor and catering to a segment of the fandom that Playmates has failed to cater to.
Now I have to wait for the toitles to arrive...
