The TMNT & Other Strangeness<\/b> blog has an interview with Ninja Turtles<\/i> writer Steve Murphy<\/a> (who as of late has become depressingly doom-and-gloom<\/a> about the world due to his belief that the environment is already screwed).<\/p>\n

Anyway, here's the relevant passage for those hoping for the second series of NECA TMNT<\/i> figures.<\/p>\n

Speaking of comic figures, do you have any clue what happened with NECA?<\/b><\/p>\n

I can only hazard to guess that NECA lost interest in the TMNT, regardless of the happy talk they make to fan journalists and fan news sites.<\/p>\n

You say NECA seems to have lost interest, does that mean that the recent news of series 2 finally coming out will not be coming true after all or is it all just a wait and see sort of deal again?<\/b><\/p>\n

My opinion is that it's just like that line from Devo's \"Jocko Homo\" song: \"I say it's all \/ Just wind in sails.\" In other words, nonsense, public relations, nothing substantial.<\/p>\n

NECA wants us to open a certain distribution channel for them but we're prevented from doing so.<\/p>\n

Without that new avenue of sales, I doubt very much that NECA will release anything further.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My guess? NECA wants to sell these in Toys Я Us, but they can't due to Playmates' deal with Mirage.<\/p>\n

<i>And now, some more OAFEry:<\/i><\/H5>
