Recently we got the reveal of NECA's second wave of Turtles in Time action figures for their TMNT videogame line. While for the most part, aside from Slash in wave 1, the figures are all repaints from the 1980s cartoon line I think that the new paint jobs and the accessories really make these figures stand out. I love the pixel design that a lot of them have, and the hover boards as well as Shredder's blast effects really look incredible. My first wishlist for this line included Raphael and Mikey, both of whom we're getting in wave 2, as well as more Foot soldiers in different colors which NECA has confirmed they will do eventually. That leaves me thinking it is time for a part 2, and here is my updated list of top 5 Turtles in Time figures I want from NECA!

5. Traag and Granitor
Putting these two are the bottom of the list, we've technically already had their figures revealed but it has been a few years since then and we still haven't heard anything solid about if the figures will even be released! With the resurgence in Turtle figures from NECA, including the videogame line, it seems these figures have a clear place to slide into but I'm just waiting for NECA to announce it at this point. They were revealed alongside a Slash which has made it into release finally, so hopefully the rock generals won't be far behind.

4. Metalhead
Speaking of many of the figures being repaints of something from their main turtles line, a Metalhead was revealed a while back and if I'm not mistaken there is a Metalhead in the game as well! The zany, vibrant, videogame colors would look amazing on the mold that already exists for the character. Especially with the red eyes taken into account!

3. Krang
Since my last list we have had a tease/confirmation that we will be getting a Krang android suit figure from NECA. My best guess is that it will be the cartoon line, but I think that they could easily given us a pixel art version of the character be repainting it like they've done so many others! The big thing to set it apart would be to give it the wings that were seen in the videogame! The base figure is sure to be awesome, but I hope they make the most of the mold and treat Turtles in Time fans just as well.

2. Tokka and Rahzar
NECA has confirmed that they are going to be making figures of Secret of the Ooze this year, and the first characters to just to mind are Tokka and Rahzar, original characters for the movie. Since then they made appearances in other media, including the Turtles in Time videogame! With the level of detail that the live action incarnations involved, the figures (should they happen) will no doubt be incredible and since they essentially look identical in design in the videogame I hope that the figures of these two (should they happen) will be given the videogame paint work treatment and appear in the toyline! Tokka in particular I'm excited to see, with that massive back of spikes; not to mention Rahzar's nasty maw.

1. Baxter Stockman
As it stands, my most wanted figure (aside from Splinter, probably) out of the whole Ninja Turtles franchise is Baxter Stockman! We've gotten pretty much all of the main cast (aside from Splinter), along with several background characters as well, so I think it is due time for Baxter Stockman to finally make his debut in the line! Getting him in his fly form would be absolutely amazing and they could easily use the same mold for both the cartoon version of him and the videogame adaptation! Either way, I just want a Baxter Flyman for my displays!
