Hey Everyone,

I agree that $30 off of Casefresh is great for the April from NECA'S TMNT line.

Take Care,
Darren

Or maybe no blue jumpsuit at all?

by Hemish on Sun Jul 19, 2009 5:58 pm

I like the blue jumpsuit better than the green one.
I love the cartoon styling of these figures, they just rock

by The Scream Man on Sun Jul 19, 2009 7:07 pm

Blue is what Id like, but I think she did wear a green one at some point.

by Artistix on Mon Jul 20, 2009 3:13 am

Her vintage figure was released in green attire. It was the one included with the News Van from memory.

Ah yeah, here she is atop the News Van in my old display:

April turned out really well!

Pixel Dans review:

He says at the end that seeing Shredder & some foot soldiers in this line depands entirely on the sales of April. So if we want to see Shredder & Splinter & co, we'd best make sure we scoop up an April or two. I might even buy all 3 versions just to support the line.

hmm she is 34 now at casefresh, wonder why the increase?

Figure looks great, prefer the blue still, but considering that shes a nice figure, im with you you artistix, might nab all 3 ! customise some hair styles perhaps for different feels?

and i mean that in a 'non dirty' way Peeps

=-)

by UncleCletusKasady on Wed Aug 19, 2009 3:34 pm

I'll buy April but im not going to buy multiples of her just to appease the great gods at NECA,
They already pissed me off enough with the release of these and if we have to have the old carrot dangled in front of these to get shredder and co then they can stick them up there god like arses as far as im concerned!

by Hemish on Wed Aug 19, 2009 4:54 pm

I ordered the april and 2 more sets of mousers from casefresh

The second set i might order from BBTS make sure i get the foot soldiers and shredder

by The Scream Man on Wed Aug 26, 2009 6:03 pm

got my comicon April today. Nice figurem, though i think shes smaller than she should be when scaled to the turtles. Ill have to dig out the early comics when i have time and check.

Poses well, looks cool and the mousers are great additions. Overall worth the buy Smile

by Hemish on Thu Sep 24, 2009 1:31 pm

Got my April and extra mouser sets from the post office today

Man that April is a nice figure.

The face sculpt is great
Bring on series 2

by Artistix on Fri Sep 25, 2009 4:38 am

Awesome pics. Thanks Hemish.

Is there going to be a series 2? or just random releases?

Only other figures we have seen are the two other April's, Shredder & a Foot Soldier.

One would think the Turtles, April & the Mousers sold well enough to ensure the lines contination. I guess we won't know till....Toy Fair perhaps.

by Hemish on Fri Sep 25, 2009 5:11 am

This is whats on BBTS for series 2

by Artistix on Fri Sep 25, 2009 5:30 am

Oooohhhhhhh....sweet!

Though I hope it's not the blue April.

by The Scream Man on Fri Sep 25, 2009 6:09 am

Yeah, but we dont get those as a set. If Aprilsells, we get the next one, then the next one etc etc etc...

by Hemish on Fri Sep 25, 2009 7:49 am

You would have to think they would sell.
Imagine foot soldiers by the case !!!!!

by Xenaphobia on Fri Sep 25, 2009 7:52 am

That Shredder would be a "must have" item for me!

And if "blue" April were also easily available (or perhaps another more "realistic" colour instead of the green or yellow), I'd grab her as well (but I don't want to pay Evil Bay prices for the exclusive "blue" version).

Cheers.

by Hemish on Fri Sep 25, 2009 7:53 am

Though looking at that pic again, that April is only with one mouser and a base not the two.
They all have the bases so maybe it could be a set??

by DroothR on Fri Sep 25, 2009 8:09 am

If the above image and information is correct, then it looks nearly perfect.

The only change I would have is to swap Shredder's base & Utrom for the Elite Foot's base.

That way one could army-build Utroms without having a crap-ton of extra Shredders.

Awesome (again, if accurate) that the Foot Soldier comes with a Mouser. Double the army-building fun!

P.S. Even though it's not comic accurate, who else is secretly thinking of putting that Elite Foot's cape on Shredder? Wink

by Xenaphobia on Fri Sep 25, 2009 8:21 am

Well spotted one and all. Perhaps it is "real".

That Shredder is so pretty. As is April. They should totally get married and have beautiful action figure babies!

Cheers.

by The Scream Man on Fri Sep 25, 2009 11:05 am

Guys i hope its real as well, but I havent heard anything to ther contrary of the '1 at a time and we'll see" story they had at San Diego...

by Sledge Hammer! on Fri Sep 25, 2009 1:00 pm

I don't buy them myself, but this is such a nice looking line, it really does deserve every success in the marketplace...
