Oming... you thought I was going to end that word in -umming! But this April is a bit kinky with the blindfold and binding device...
It is April based on the 1987 cartoon with a smaller noggin than the previous release.
Articulation
April has articulation similar to Hasbro Marvel Legends, with the exception of the double jointed elbows. Elbows and knees are scary hard to move... Her legs are supposed to be MOTUC-LIKE but I can't get her to make the thigh cut rotation... and since she's NECA, I ain't gonna try too hard either.

| Leo; So what do we do with this strange statue... April!? April: Guys, Are you there? Help me! April: It's an impostor! Don: Ooh, a Spider-Man Meme Situation here. Both sound alike, how do we figure this out? Raph: We could put them to the test or accept the one with the oversized noggin' as the impostor. This ain't Among Us? Mike: Brothers, you forget that I am well versed on the arts and I've studied April throughout the years and I can identify the real one from the impostor. |
Paint and sculpt
While I don't like the longer neck she has, It's accurate to her appearance in some episodes. From A sculping perspective, this figure is a much needed improvement over the previous release, especially on the head size. I've No complaints on the painting department aside the usage of cel shading. I know the cartoon line has fake cel shading you look, but I've never liked it.

| BHApril: But I'm the real deal! April: Thank you, Michelangelo! You saved me from the impostor. Leo: So how did you figured it out, Mikey? Mikey: Elementary, my Dear Brother!! The false April has smaller boobs than the real one. Not to mention her butt is a bit sagging and unlike the real April who has a Brazilian strip, fake April had a full bush. Not to mention the fake's left nipple is an innie, when Real April has both as outies. Not to mention her freckle arrangement is wrong. Raph: But what about the big noggin? Don: Maybe she identifies as a Funko PoP? Renet: What in Judith Hoag into Paige Turco is going on here!? |

Overall:
April gets a 4.67 as her final score. The only thing that ruins a perfect support is the articulation. It's great on paper but in reality NECA joints are scary. They can give great range or break... Especially on a figure with small pegs like April.

| Donatello: Wow, this device allows you to travel through tine? Renet: Yeppers! You guys will find one and end in Ancient Japan! Raph: Look at me, I'm the Doctor now. Leonardo: Must not stare! Mike: Booooooooooooooobieeeees! April: Michelangelo! What does that Ditzy cow have that I don't! You said I had nice boobs! Pay attention to me! Renet: Go on Mikey, squeeze'em! |
But I also got a Loose almost complete Renet on eBay, so Let's do her review too! Renet is an apprentice Timestress. Studying under Lord Simultaneous. She often gets the Turtles in trouble with her time travel shenanigans. Usually they end up being fights against Savanti Romero. He's a goatman demonic douche.

| Lord S.: RENET! STOP DILLY-DALLYING AND RETURN HOME! Renet: Damn, That's my Teacher Lord Simultaneous! Raph: well, he has a decent rack now... Donatello: I guess I must give you back your time machine. Leo: I'm faithful to Lotus, I'm faithful to Lotus! April: Yeah, go home you ditzy cow! These are MY Turtles! Mikey: Let me honk'em! |
Articulation
Renet possesses the standard Mirage articulation. Her double joints are more traditional and pinned, which is a turnoff to some. Weirdly enough she lacks a boot cut articulation. Now while the articulation works on Paper, she's still a NECA and requires the utmost care.

| Mikey: Yours are the best boobs I've ever touched. Renet: Why thanks! April: (thought) Why am I jealous of Renet getting Michelangelo's attention? I don't like him that way... but it feels nice when he looks at me like I'm his goddess. I really NEED to get laid or get better simps that aren't Turtles, Vernon, or that weird sports dude... |
Paint and sculpt
Mirage figures have a bit less shading than toon versions, but they still get inklines. Renet has very few of those on her body, but her outfit has more. Her sculpt is really good and detailed with the tiny watches and her big knockers. Her cowlless face reminds me of someone I used to know.

| Leo: Oh Lotus, where are you. Raph: I feel you. Mona Lisa isn't here either. Don: I'll even take Irma, God, why are all chick's going for Mikey? April: Aren't you supposed to be leaving now, Time Ho? Renet: I would if Mikey would let go. Mikey: Please Renny, don't make me let go. Your boobs are perfectly made for my hand! BH April: I got Yamcha'd... Hey, you three! Let me live and I'll do things your April won't! Raph: We forgot about the impasta! |

| Mikey: Renet's gone, guys and all I have is a dagger to remember her. April: Michelangelo, I'll let you touch my boobs and butt... Mikey: No thanks, April... You're no Renet. April: Fuck this shit, I'm out! |
Overall
Renet gets a 4.83 as her final score. The only issue is the articulation versus fragility of the figure. NECA can't fully be trusted here.
Wonder if Super7 will do 2k3 Renet... not my favorite outfit, but still a Renet. Also, needs the long haired Alternate head from the time she and the turtles got stuck in the far past.
