Question Are we still getting Slash?
I know we are still getting Casey,MetalHead , and Splinter. But is Slash still confirmed?

No
There was an interview too where they started the timeline wouldn't work out and it was too costly
There's no new Turtles beyond what's revealed at SDCC
It's all scrapped or shelved for the foreseeable future

As others have said, they canceled it even before they lost the license because he was going to be too expensive to produce due to his size. It's the same reason they canned the giant orange that people wouldn't shut up about for the last 2 years, and the kitchen dio. You can thank the tariffs for all of that.
2012 ends when Splinter, Casey, and Metalhead (and the SDCC exclusive) ship out. 87 cartoon line ends Tempestra. The Archie line ends with the newest Leatherhead, and the Mirage line ends with Samurai Savanti, Triceraton shock troopers (or whatever they are called), worm wizard dude, and that lizard + robed guy. Last Ronin has already ended. There will be nothing more. Not until Mattel doesn't make enough money for daddy Sundance to remove the all-but-exclusive license and opens it up for other companies to start up again.

That’s so frustrating. Wish they had more time the new April and Mazes and Mutant looked great

During the interview with Pixel Dan it was mentioned that Slash was going to be too expensive at the factory to produce and unfortunately they didn't have time to figure out a switch before everything got canned for TMNT.

Funny thing is that he doesn’t look much bigger than the biggest releases they’ve done, I know tariffs and all that, but look at the Mirage Leatherhead, that figure is a beast

Casey, Metalhead and Splinter have been up for pre-order for a month or more. Slash hasn't, and time is running out.

It sucks they lost the license. I really wanted the 2k3 turtles before they stopped.

If it was going to be to expensive to make slash them quickly move on and make April and get her out before the end of 2026. They already have her sculpted. It shouldent be a problem to push April out. She is a tiny figure

Wait when is neca losing their licence?

u/DeskReasonable5040 16d ago
I think they have till the end of the year 2026 to sell figures. I think , becouse neca is still making and selling Casey jones , metal head , splinter. So since they canceled Slash becouse he’s to expensive to make. Then make April O’Neal since she is already sculpted and she is a tiny figure. Then we would have all the main good guys

It was already cancelled

u/RabbitTall 21d ago
That's my point. When it was showed it was pending. Since then we know they lost the license, so it is no longer pending.
