It seemed like that was all the line would be. And since these were priced under the usual NECA Ultimates price point, they tended to just come with a few extra hands and a weapon or two.
Shredder, for example, had his shoulder pauldrons adjusted while Slash received a new head to differentiate him from his toon counterpart. As for the rest, well most could just be repaints of the cartoon line or re-releases with slight modification. Still, the turtles didn’t change enough from one game to the next to warrant new sculpting, so instead the pixel deco was modified slightly and each figure came bundled with a surf/hover board based on the bonus level Sewer Surfin’. They were based on the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game, but NECA’s line for retail was to be based on Turtles in Time. The turtles themselves had been originally released as a comic con exclusive already along with Shredder and the Foot. It also was a line designed primarily for repaints and re-releases. Only, this sort of thing is basically impossible to properly replicate since pixels, by their nature, are arranged in a very strict fashion and any three-dimensional object that can bend and move in the third dimension is going to break those rules. All of the figures feature a pixelized deco to create the illusion that they came out of a video game.
The video game line was always going to be the lease desirable because it’s the most gimmicky. The design of the original cabinet was so bizarre.
