Randy Falk, Director of Product Development at NECA, was kind enough to provide some clarification about the upcoming releases of April O’Neil in NECA’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line.
April is one of NECA’s exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con, and she is also slated to be part of series 2 of TMNT, available through specialty retailers. From Randy:
The retail release of April will NOT be in the blue jumpsuit. She will be offered in other color(s) and she will also come with 2 Mousers. Details to be announced at a later date.
Online retailers are still listing pre-orders for series 2 with arrival estimated in 2nd quarter 2009, although I suspect we may see this get pushed into 3rd quarter.
