Recently the guy(Zelu1984 on IG) who created this April custom started working with Neca and has his first credit with the recently released Mona Lisa and Dirk Savage set.
So hopefully he will be the sculptor put in charge for Neca's next April figure. Perhaps an actually decent commercially available April O'Neal figure is bound for this time-line after all? What do you think?
He's done a lot of good work with the character.
OMG SHES SO BEAUTIFUL.
Omg. If they make her like this I will never say neca breaka ever again. I promise
The world isn't ready to let April O'Noggin die yet.
Here's his work on Super7s April as well.
RetroBlasting approved
Michael is willing to suck Junkman's cock if Junkman started with customs/repro toys, this guy's a disgrace for the community.
No one fucking cares about your gay e drama. Keep it on the farms you twink.
>Again Mikey giving a blowjob to some fag like Bobby

Why it's based off the toy sculpt
i'm gonna explain this to you one more time
the head isn't too big, the body is too small.
by sculpting her a new head, all you've done is make an out-of-scale april. which is what they did for cat-april
she needs a new figure (well two, if you want cat april to look right) that fits in scale with the rest of the line.
this on the other hand is amazing. if he were to sell these heads, I would buy. and super7 would get a buy from me too, so it'd be win/win
this is from super7's Ultimates line, based on the old toys
The jaw is very square. Compare the heads alone in OPs picture and you see how the jaw is much wider in midget April
criticism of the shape of the head is valid. that is not the subject at hand.
compare. changed shape, look. analyse
He's been asked in his comments if he worked on the new April and he hasn't denied it.
This didn't need a thread you perverted weirdo.
>toy discussion doesn't belong here
U MAD because Neca fucked up & someone had to fix it?
boohoo nibba
Which one is supposed to be the "good" one?
They both look genuinely awful.
The one without the giant head, presumably.
You guys are so hyperbolic. That isn't "genuinely awful".
Here’s your (you) troll
This thread isn't for you.
Get out.
Are you actually incapable of telling the difference of quality between zelu’s figure and the NECA? Look at her fucking arms man
What's the problem?
Gee
fixed
You fixed her chin being twice as wide as her neck?
Oh wait, nope.
Oh no, a toy has articulation? Heaven's! Idiot.
I suppose it's too much to hope that Mona Lisa will be available in a solo box? I already shouldn't be spending money on this stuff, but I'd really like to have her.
Spending money on a second figure I don't want, and finding room to store the damn oversized box is going to be an unneeded pain in the ass.
hahaha wait until you see what april looks like in the new movie hahaahaha
Modern movie shit was always gonna be horrific. I just want this guy to make cute females based on the comics and cartoon. He's done DC too.
these are pretty cute.
dear god she's shaped like a fucking turtle
Plot twist, she is the teenage mutant ninja turtle.
what the fuck mang
Looks like something that Retroblasting will love
>I hope a talented sculptor makes the next neca April figure to redeem the last piece of shit
>he gets tasked with this one
Wheeeeeze
>first they made her a teen in Nick
>then a black teen in Rise
>now a fat black teen
Place you're bets for what they add to the next April.
Fat black teen in a wheelchair? Fat black teen trans? Fat black teen with autism?
I would like for this iteration to bomb so hard they stop tmnt media for a long time and just focus on merch/toys, theyve done a lot for wolf tmnt, so might as well go to 2k3,TMNT, then nick cg show and then stop.
>fat black teen
>teen
she looks 32
How the fuck are they going to sell action figures or any kind of merchandise of that? Is shoving their agenda down your throat really more important than making money?
She was always black lol
But she was hot black.
You sure? Permed hair was a pretty normal thing in the 80s.
Idk it’s honestly hard to tell
This cover came out after the cartoon so the artist was probably modeling her after that
She was never black. The only way you'd think this is if you are trolling, or are a 14 year old twittroid.
She had straight hair until issue 4, where she got a perm and even said "you like my new look". White ladies in the 80's got perms constantly. You'd know this if you werent a retard.
Comments like this make me want to become obsessed, track people down by i.p. addresses, and end them.
The new cope on Twitter is that she was based on this "bi-racial" gf of one of the the creators and is therefore "black".
She is dead have some respect
But yes Laird was the kino creator of tmnt
You don't know anything about TMNT.
I know that eastman is a hack and talentless
How was she disrespected?
Yes. But even after reading it, those stupid homosexuals still twist the words. Eastmans girlfriend was also named April... he based the characters name off of her, not her ethnicity. Liard originally wanted her to be asian, but they settled on white.
Like.. if she was originally black, this would all be fine. Just so tired of this homosexualry and their fucking retarded, brainlet smugness that can be PROVEN WRONG WITH ONE GOOGLE SEARCH.
I just wanted a good tmnt finally after 30 years. not "bwahahaha weeeeed".
I need to leave the internet, or pray the new covid is much stronger...
>new
Thats old as shit, became a popular theory back when the previous black nerdy cartoon april was revealed.
You're either casual or an orignal fan whos struggling with memory issues.
Joggers dont say holy mackerel or please. Give me a fucking break you homosexual troll. April always non black. Deal with it.
she looks like cher
Leftists think tan skin or darker equals black, permed hair equals black too. Theyre fucking stupid.
This. My roommate used to say that 90s Superman TAS was controversial because it was the first black Superman and Lex Luthor.
All because they were darker than Lois.
Clark gets natural sunlight. Lex uses a tanning bed.
>Telly Savalas is black
and this is proof of...?
Use your eyes you homosexual moron
Black or not, she also was seen as good looking and not a fat nappy haired ugly black woman
2 ugly Aprils already (Rise and now Mutant Mayhem), 3rd strike and you are out
>Jennifer Beals is black
what did he mean by this
I'm pretty sure April was always meant to be white, but may have seemed like she was bi-racial or lightskinned because Laird or Eastman (I forget) must have used their black girlfriend as reference or something, which unintentionally made her look black, like pic rel. She also had an 80s perm and tan, and since it's black and white, it might make it kinda hard for someone who hasn't read every issue (or someone that doesn't remember the 80s) to tell whether she just has a tan, or is a hip-hoppin, mystery-meat urban youth.
That army dude looks just like her.
wow so Randy is a racist
Wow so you're a homosexual retard
you’ve been less creative recently even, dare I say it, boring. Or maybe you save the good stuff for the generals to maximize visibility
He's dropped afew gems recently
that's not him, that's someone mocking him. you're all braindead.
You're all stupendously ignorant and prove that this board needs a cleansing.
you have had multiple posts removed from this thread. seems like the cleansing has already begun. are you ever going to post your display?
You are seriously delusional
See, now that smacks of parrotanon aka falseflaganon who is constantly mimicking necanon. That’s funny though.
Definitely questional
Eh I've seen him accuse people of breaking toys in purpose before. It's not even the craziest thing I've seen him post.
And you still haven't gotten it right.
>Eh I've seen him accuse people of breaking toys in purpose before.
yes, that's why it was a post mocking him. you're as dumb as he is.
>good, I can feel your anger
>NOOOOO SHES HECKIN BLACKERINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AHHHHHHH
Don't forget pig-ugly and fat.
I'll take a black April
but I won't take an obese fugly April
Ha! Now do one where she's friends with Headdy!
WHERE IS THE GLUE THREAD
I wish this guy had done the D&D cartoon figures that just came out, their faces are awful.
The whole line was designed with the mint on card collector in mind and Hasbro stupidly used their plastic free packaging for it. The whole plastic free shit for small figures is total BS.
>Zelu1984 on IG
Holy shit, this guy's work is amazing.
WANT
looks like that shitty Pirates of Dark Water cartoon. FUck that waste of TV. I'm a BraveStar man
Is that the worst figure Neca has ever made?
recently yes. definitely the worst proportions
This is worse
Looks like he's holding his invisible dick.
Looks like he has dementia
What a strange movie to do action figures of. I mean, I love Interstellar but I don't need the characters on my shelf. Especially not QUALITY.
Randi must have loved it
I think it's pretty accurate, Anne has eyes which scream "I'm a crazy BPD bitch".
What the fuck? They made Interstellar toys? Why?
He really really really loved that movie.
Literally really loved it. So they needed figures. They seem to sell well. Pretty expensive on ebay.
But don't expect wolf predator any time soon. He hated it
If he really loved it the figures would have been fully sculpted and not mego-shit.
mego might be cheaper since you dont have to sculpt clothes. fabric clothes are much cheaper.
its like when they made django unchained figures, he really really loved that movie
That sounds like exactly what happened. No other way toys of that movie get made.
So you admit you have no idea how toys get made or why.
randy likes big brain movies for his big bald head but Killer Klowns? Nah too niche
"too niche" is codeword for "i hated that movie"
No, it's you trolling because you don't understand words.
randulf’s known likes:
jonah hex
interstellar
golden girls
twilight
randy's known dislikes:
AvP
killer klowns
Likes: Carrie remake.
( Most people forgot that exists )
And Django unchained.
left looks good
right looks like shit
You've got shit taste
Yes neccyanon, everyone in the world has it wrong but you. April O'Noggin's gigantic head is actually a national treasure and she is a depiction of the modern day woman as big-brained Aphrodite.
It's a cute. Left looks hotter with those delicious curves. If you can't appreciate both for their own reasons you've got shit taste and brain rot and probably a chud too.
The neca one looks like a giant head midget
No it doesn't
Do not give it (you)s
report and ignore troll comments as I stated in the op
The only troll is you.
Guys, is this a black woman? I can't tell.
I'd guess white
http://tmntentity.blogspot.com/2018/02/was-april-oneil-originally-black-in.html
Left looks better
2028
>April mutated into an ape
pottery
Is black the only POC in existance? Why couldn't she have been Asian or Pacific Islander, what about greek or mediteranian. It's like these woke writers have no idea what woke means other than it has to be black nothing else.
at this point, i'm pretty sure redheads and gingers are more of a minority than POC
They.. always have been? Less than 2% of the world's population has natural red hair.
Because they are the most easiest to recognition.
>Is she mediterean or asian or latin? Her skin is too light skin to be a minority?
>Just make her black!
Virtual signaling only works when it is easy to understand!
>They are no race! And when you me tion race, than you are a rascist!
Pisses me off we'll get fat-pril before we get a good Carl figure
Why would anyone make a figure of fat black April O’Neil?
because americans love making ugly crap look at star wars, ghost busters, star trek
I don’t know about Star Trek but the figures for the ugly female Ghostbusters and the fat Asian from the Sequel Trilogy were huge pegwarmers and no one is making toys based on either anymore. If they make this figure everyone knows it’s going to pegwarm.
and funko is going bankrupt, americans cannot make good toys
No, but at least they used to be able to make appealing and iconic characters that could sell even mediocre figures. Now with this agressive pandering to leftist sensibilities and their need to give “representation” to the ugly, mediocre and degenerate they can’t do that anymore. The only new characters that anyone still cares about and can sell toys are nostalgia bait like the Mandelorian and Baby Yoda.
>Americans cannot make good toys
What's your opinion on NECA?
Well, you're a troll asking a troll what he thinks... I'm sure it'll be a well thought out troll answer.
Okay I'll ask you again.
What's your opinion on NECA?
they CAN actually be returned
WRONG
from randy’s own chicken lips, picrel
I found this on neca’s official store thinking it was shopped by foreign neca babyanon or whatever but it’s actually real
toy buying should count as a form of gambling.
-Lol weed man- is the one behind everything. He's the engineer of this
>black is not a primary color, it is expensive to make
>fat April uses more plastic
>more plastic means a bigger box
>bigger box + more plastic = heavy
>big and heavy takes up more space( 2:1 ratio compare to skinny April )
>transport toys in big diesel engine trucks
>diesel engine trucks cause climate change
>fat black April = climate change
math is awesome
She is bad for the enviroment and she is going to peg warm and fill out landfills.
Have we learned nothing?
>No
Kek. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
>nothing you said was right you don't have reading comprehension I'm necatard and my breath smells like my own feces and randy cock
is this too much to ask for?
it is now
Only April I had came with the news van
Well, I hope they hire the guy that sculpted McFarlane's Arkham City Catwoman to redo her butt.
All the complaining about necas April giant head paid off.
Now they will fix her. Sell a sexy April. The sexy April we all deserve
You don't buy toys, fuck off homosexual.
>triggered by thought of a sexy April
>calls other anon the homosexual
Lol
In bidens disastrous economy? WHO can afford toys?!
I can barely afford FOOD!
Is that true? Are they making a new and better toon April
Yeah, you're a troll, we get it.
He's been here at least 7 years doing it
I started posting here about a decade ago and he was doing it then. Never once have I seen him post an actual display photo, just constant arguing and trolling and occasionally a photo of new acquisitions ontop of a brown shelf or dresser. Weird autistic hoarder I guess.
What cruel Greek god sentenced him to autistically defend every Neca product on this Mongolian throat-singing forum until the day he dies?
Necate, the Goddess of Necamancy
more like Breakamancy
It's sad that you are so clueless about anything going on on this board that you make a post like this and end up completely wrong about every detail.
He types like an AI that only has a limited pool of phrases it is allowed to string together.
Oh, so you're just a crazy person.
Yeah, there's one of them. He must call at least 15 anons crazy every week.
Except that you're actually talking like a crazy person. And you're making up a story to go with your bullshit posts to justify it.
I really hope the new April comes with the proper accessories this time.
This is the best production head so far. The trick was to cover 80% of the face.
Truly, the people working at Super7 are masters of their craft. Bravo, bravo I say!
if the hair is a separate piece, just swap them on the unmasked ninja April head and use that on the traditional body?
finally, an april figure pre-gagged!
Aw c'mon, we want a valiant independent press.
Too bad china fucked up his sculpt with bad paint
The final promo shots aren't this sculpt. I honestly think it's a conspiracy against good looking female figures.
I love the boob stretch on the shirt.
The sculpt is good it’s just a shame that they blew it on the frumpy squat body, the oversized diaper, and bad paint. Hate to say it but they blew it
They didn't. It doesn't have an "oversized diaper' and the paint is good. The body isn't squat either.
Neca can’t make slender, beautiful humanoid females
Actually neca is the only one making sexy figures. Everyone else went woke. Even McFarlane
Figures like Elvira. That's one thing I have to give randy. He didn't go woke like Hasbro or super7 or everyone else
Neca basea
Neca Elvira has crooked lopsided boobs
Just like Elvira. But you wouldn't know that, since you're a literal child.
Nah I’ve seen them and one is not larger than the other necanon
Oh look, you got backed into a corner so now you're throwing your nicknames around. Good job, you fucked up.
That is literally your name
yes but BIG.
super7 went super woke.
s7 has always been woke, Brian has a trans child so they go overboard with inclusiveness. Randulf has two autistic step-daughters who are balding too, so these experiences shape a person and we see it reflected in the toys they make.
Do you have a mental illness that causes you to lie so profusely about everything?
Well even April's body is kinda sexy.
It's just her head that's too square.
But April has sexy curves.
I don't like how necas always breakas
But I can't deny how sexy neca girls are sculpt wise. At least in the sculpt process.
Tomb raider figs. 300 queen, Jonah hex girl. There's a bunch of sexy sexy neca sculpts.
Sometimes I'm just sad that buying them is a risk.
There is no risk you trolling spaz.
kys pls 🙂
i dont wanna deal with neca's well known broken arms or legs
Yeah you'd rather deal with your well known lies I guess.
She looks Asian
April is black.
B-L-A-C-K
April is a sword wielding mermaid
M E R M A I D
Guest artist, not cannon.
Artists have to follow editors, so if it wasn't changed its approved cannon.
Well she was NEVER FAT
No one is saying nu uggo april its ok, just that she ha been portrayed as black before. They could make a cute black chick but they had to make her look like a trurtle.
>No one is saying nu uggo april its ok, just that she ha been portrayed as black before. They could make a cute black chick but they had to make her look like a trurtle.
maybe she will get mutated again and turn into a pig or sloth

isn't that what she already is ROTTMNT
seth isnt that subtle though
It's not about black or white, it's about UGLY nappy haired ratchet community college art school black

why are americans obsessed with race
>why are americans obsessed with race
because America gave freedom to women. And women traditionally try to talk people into giving them things vs getting off their ass and doing stuff to get things.
So we have to talk about race and gender as part of a conversation to talk the majority into giving the minority things.
Notice how we have this discussion more when it involves women. You see it far less when they make a white man black, or a black man white.
Some girl hurt you back in middle school or some shit?

probably Indian with a perm. Ass not fat enough to be a true Nubian goddess.
I am so into this one.
I care less about the race and more that she's attractive and has 80s fashion sense
If Rogen's april looked like this, no one would have that big of an issue. Fat uglyfying her is not a way to go.
