NECA Mirage Comics line

[Misfit]

Still within your return window? $70 is rough. I only want the Shredder in this set so I've been waiting for it to hit a price that is essentially for one figure.

Not sure if it's regional, but I was able to place a pickup order for the Worms of Madness two-pack for $30 just now.

I didn't even realize this set was a thing, but I saw that deal this morning & couldn't resist. Threw in a marked down Classified Series set to get free shipping & my Shredder set got delivered same day! Overall, very cool set, but I wish they'd handle shoulder pads the same way Hasbro has been, so they could rotate out of the way with the arms

Sold out now so doesn’t matter.

On a different note, I finished the third Mirage compendium from IDW, which completes the first volume of the Mirage TMNT comics. I loved it! “City at War” was great. The art and storytelling came a long way from the first issues. I was surprised characters like Fugitoid, the Utroms, and Triceratons didn’t show up after the early stories, though.

Overall, I thought the first volume was really interesting stuff and very engaging because I couldn’t guess what would happen next.

As I mentioned in my earlier posts, I was pretty meh on the second volume, which was the guest era. There were some interesting “takes” on the Turtles from guest creators but most weren’t my thing.

I do have the Mirage volume two hardcover (not to be confused with the IDW compendium volume two) coming in a few days and “The Last Ronin.”

Not sure if there are plans for IDW to ever publish a collected edition of the Image stories.

I also saw IDW is publishing some massive softcover compendiums of their 2000s-era TMNT relaunch later this year. Not sure how all that fits in with Mirage continuity. My goal isn’t to like read every TMNT comic, but I would like to continue with the Mirage continuity.

As for the NECA line, I’m honestly not sure what else the could do from the books that’s a major character. I mean, yeah, there are lots of one-off characters they could do, but not sure what the demand would be for those.

IDW did release the Image stuff in a couple volumes they called Urban Legends. To be honest, I still haven't been able to make my way all the way through them... At any rate, the Mirage continuity ignores them.

Those upcoming compendium omit all the minis and one-shots of the IDW series. There are both HC and SC collections called The IDW Collection that include everything in reading order though. They gather up everything across the whole line through issue 150 of the main book (basically through Armageddon Game with the Jason Aaron run being the cutoff point) in 18 volumes. The softcover versions are still releasing though. And they dont fit with Mirage continuity at all, it's a totally separate thing except in like a multiverse sense.
