As a passionate collector of Ninja Turtles figures, I've found an unmatched joy in acquiring the beautifully crafted pieces produced by NECA. Their exceptional quality and attention to detail have made them a cherished part of my collection—and I know I am not alone in this sentiment. Thousands of collectors like me have appreciated the effort NECA put into capturing the essence of our favorite heroes in a half-shell.

However, a recent change in licensing has brought an abrupt halt to NECA's production of Ninja Turtles figures. This decision not only deprives collectors of the joy these figures bring but also disrupts a lucrative and beloved market for NECA. It feels like a blow to both us collectors and the company that has poured its heart and soul into these creations.

What many might not realize is that Mattel and NECA have historically carved out different niches for themselves. Mattel's focus has often been on broader, more widespread markets, appealing to younger audiences. On the other hand, NECA has been celebrated for its focus on collectors and enthusiasts, providing a higher-quality product that's truly a work of art. There’s really no need for these companies to occupy the same space, nor for more bureaucracy to stifle NECA's creativity and potential.

I believe there is a way forward where NECA can continue to craft these treasured figures with the support and cooperation of both Mattel and Paramount. A mutually beneficial agreement could allow NECA to retain their licensing rights and deliver more of the coveted figures that so many collectors adore. Negotiating a deal may not only preserve an extraordinary creative outlet but also honor the history and community that Ninja Turtles fans have built over the years.

We urge Mattel and Paramount to consider the desires of the collectors’ community and the innovative spirit NECA embodies. Let us come together to support NECA in regaining the license to produce Ninja Turtles figures, ensuring both the continuation of these beloved products and the satisfaction of countless fans.

Please sign this petition to help us urge Mattel and Paramount to restore NECA's Ninja Turtles licensing rights, and let's keep supporting the creative freedom and passion behind these extraordinary collectibles.
