Any confirmation either way, redant (or Jerry)?

If its under the 87 license, it is. If its from the comics, its not. Any character specifically from the 87 license, pcs can make.

How do you know that? Has PCS confirmed that? Nickelodeon doesn't own Usagi Yojimbo. He was a guest character. As far as I'm aware, any use of Usagi would entail obtaining his rights from Sakai.

Not exactly confirmation, in my book. He may not be aware of whether Usagi is a special case. I'd like to see an answer to Usagi specifically.

But obviously, I hope you're right. Thanks for checking.

I'm gonna yawn if it's just the Turtles and Shredder. I almost think a 1/6 PVC line would be more appropriate for a line like this at a cheaper price.

I'd advise caution with the expectations.

The reality of 1/10 action figure line depth at 1/4 (or even 1/6) statue prices isn't very realistic.

PCS can't risk completing the SFII line or Sakura which has been their bread & butter license for 10 years.

I wouldn't expect a Usagi Yojimmbo from 2 episodes of a 1987 cartoon...

To be fair though, this is likely an interpretation of the turtles and Shredder, most fans have wanted in 1/4 for a long time. I'd say alot of fans have even held off buying other interpretations of the turtles for this long awaited licence aquisition. I say start with the Turtles and Shredder in this line. I'm sure the rest will follow as this is the depiction of the characters most fans are familiar with.

Of course they will start with the Turtles.

If you think they are going to even start with Bebop or Rocksteady you're dreaming.

I'd love the Neutrinos. Even as a car piece.

Yeah I held off a lot of versions of turtles. Almost bit at the P1 90's movie but just couldn't swing it.

Ant mentioned he intends to do more than just the Turtles... how many more is anyone's guess and I suppose it depends on sales.

You'd imagine, 4x turtles, Shredder, Krang, Beebop and Rocksteady are in the bag.

After that, Splinter is a high possibility, April a little less than that.

Then pot luck at Casey, Baxter, footclan.

I'd like the Frogs and Leatherhead but that might be wishful thinking.
