Grand Theft Auto maker Take-Two has reiterated its net bookings forecast of $5.55 billion to $5.65 billion for the current fiscal year following a "solid" quarter that saw NBA 2K beat internal expectations and Grand Theft Auto V exceed 210 million lifetime sales.

As noted in the company's fiscal report for the third quarter ended December 31, 2024, net bookings increased by 3 percent year-on-year to $1.37 billion.

Net bookings derived from recurrent consumer spending (which includes live service products such as GTA Online) increased by 9 percent year-on-year and accounted for 79 percent of total net bookings.

Mondo has announced a new set of collectibles, and for anyone who grew up with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, these figures will be a nostalgic blast from the past. As part of the Soft Vinyl line, TMNT fans can pick up Leonardo and Donatello figures with vibrant colors, signature accessories, and enough articulation to strike a memorable pose.

These figures are inspired by both the classic TMNT toys that rolled out alongside the original animated series–and have been re-released numerous times over the decades–and Japanese sofubi toys. That gives the collectible figure an interesting blend of design influences, blending the classic shape and style of the TMNT figures with the sensibilities of Sofubi toys and a few modern influences from the Mondo team.
