NECA COOKED With The Ultimate Tatsu TMNT Figure!
At last, NECA has produced the final major character in the TMNT movie line with Master Tatsu. From its great articulation, impressive uses of soft goods, and amazing accessories, is there really anything wrong with this figure? Actually... the distributions is pretty awful and the demand for him is ridiculous, BUT this figure definitely is worth hunting for. Sit back relax, and I'll tell you all about it! #collectresponsibly #neca #tmnt #necatmnt

I’m buying this for sure
Your reviews are tremendous and I can tell you put a lot of work into them. Bravo
Thank you! I’ll be getting back to my regular reviews here real soon! I really appreciate the feedback!
Great video; fast, punchy, entertaining, to the point, and still very informative! I have the first release of these two, and my Rocksteady's left leg snapped right off as I was trying out different poses. Glad to hear that NECA has fixed these issues. I will definitely be picking up this reissue! Thanks for the info!
Awesome, thank you! I'm glad you found my channel and found my video enjoyable and informative. Hope you stick around!
@@alanthecollector I plan on it! And hey, dude, I have a quick question. Which NECA Turtles figures do you think are superior; the first release, Turtles in Disguise, or the Pizza Club Turtles? P.S. I have all four of the first release Turtles, but my Leonardo has a seized left thigh joint, and I'm not about to give him the same treatment as my Rocksteady!
GREAT VIDEO OF THESE KILLER CRITTERS!!!!
Thank you! These guys are a blast. I'm getting a few more when the Roboskull® MKII finally drops which should put my Assassin Skeledrone Army above 50! 😅 It's still up for preorder directly through the Skeletron website if you want to grab some for yourself. skeletron.com
Have you tried to remove the base of the neck of Timber and put there the Thing "head"?
I have and it also works too! It makes Timber look really calm. Though the paint and detail isn't a 100% match, it's still very convincing!
@@alanthecollector do you have any pictures? So I’ll convince myself to get it 😅
✌🏾🙏🏾🐜awesome review
Much appreciated! I'll be going back to regular reviews real soon, so I hope you'll stick around!
Should see how they look with the Mezco animated figs.
My new Mezco Casey Jones just came in so I'll be sure to show off how Casey look with these guys and the Mezco Turtles!
Tight editing/review, subbed. Keep on keeping on man! ✌️
Thank you so much! I should be back to my regular reviews soon. I've got a lot NECA turtle stuff and SDCC exclusives to review! Thanks for joining the channel!
Link now
Unfortunately there is no link to provide since these are out of stock at pretty much every major every major online retailer. Your best bet now if you're still interested is to check eBay.
Damn. They force us to buy both.
The accessories they chose to leave out is still baffling to me Unfortunately the SDCC exclusive Feral Predator repeats a lot of the same mistakes. I'll, have that review up soon!
The comic inspired Turtles should have gotten the full pizza and pizza box too. Also those spinning Sai effects
I totally agree. I also wound’s have mind if the pizza box was plastic as apposed to card stock paper. an interesting thing about the twirling said is that they were mention in the directions for the first release.
Its one of those figures you don't wanna touch again after displaying it. I ordered one but i won't take it out of the box till i have a good area to display it
It's definitely a tricky figure to mess around with. I have it posed along side some of my other NECA horror figures. I think you'll be impressed with how intricate it is.
Awesome stands! Where you get them.
I bought them from @ItsGeekEffect. He makes them himself, plus he runs an awesome RUclips channel. He's definitely worth a follow!
Is there any gypsy figures?
Yes. NECA made several Gypsy Danger including an ultimate figure around 2015. It's pretty old now and despite their detail they can be pretty fragile. Diamond Select Toys made Gypsy Avenger from the second film, but they also made a pretty decent Gypsy Danger too! It originally retailed for $29.99 in 2023, but he can be pretty hard to find these days.I hope this helps.
15 for a single one is pretty good
Thanks! I really like the way the look ganging up against the Zeo rangers just like in the show.
I wish you could buy them one at a time, awesome video by the way you did a great job this is the first one i’ve come across but i love it keep it up😄👍👍
hat would definitely ease. the strain on the wallet! 😅 I really appreciate your feedback! Thank you!
Love the Tatsu grunts!
I had a lot of fun sprinkling those grunts throughout the video.
Hell yeah!!!! Congrats!
I'm just glad I didn't have to search too long before I found one! He really is a fantastic figure!
So is everyone making money in their channels with the heading of “Woke” on their thumbnail? It’s almost like they have to meet a quota on their channel Smh
Can you clarify what you mean? I don't understand your question.
I got 52 beat that
That's crazy! I salute you sir. 🫡 Are those JUST Cobra Island Cobra Troopers? I could beat that number if Included my Cobra Infantry. I would have a little over 60 if I did that... 😅 Good army I'd love to see it.
Sculpter: how visible do we want the joint pins? McFarlane Toys: yes
😂 McFarlane do have noticeable pins, but personally don’t care whether a figure is pinless as long as it looks good, and this figure certainly does.
@@alanthecollector normally they don't bug me too much, but something about it being a warhammer model that they turned into a figure made it bother me a little more than it usually would.
Her face is so beautiful they rlly did justice making her gorgeous in this pack (which is apt considering wasp is a fashionista)
I couldn’t agree more. This Wasp figure makes the set!
Damn What figure/line is that from
That's the Tyrannosaurus Sentry from the Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection. It came out in 2021 and was exclusive to Target. These specifically came from the boom studios comics. They served as the personal army for Lord Drakkon. They are pretty cool figures, especially when grouped together like this! I hope that helps!
@alanthecollector probably cost a arm and a leg on 3rd market!!! Yes thanks for the information!!!
I like these suit designs a lot more after finding out that their helmet triangles match the alchemical symbols of their elements. And they were already probably my favorites of the comics-only suits before that! (Only other comics exclusive suit I've liked much at all is the Ranger Slayer.) Having colors, weapons, and symbols that all fit with their elements definitely makes them feel more like an actual consistently themed ranger team, rather than just a bunch of fanfictiony-seeming "generic cool suit designs" without much thought put into why they look the way they do.
Very good insights on these figures. I didn’t care much for their designs on the pages of the boom studio comics, but they translate very well into action figure.
Can you do the utrom for day 3
You mean the Utrom with android body from the NECA Mirage TMNT comics? Unfortunately, I don’t have that figure. I need to track a few of them down. However, I do have a few other great army builders from the cartoon and movie TMNT figure line. Hopefully you’ll stick around for some of those !
@@alanthecollector ok thanks I'll stick around and watch them all
this looks amazing and it's also such a nice figure
Other than the missing access accessories, the Bloody Feral Predator is pretty nice figure! I’m looking forward to reviewing the SSCC Cloaked Feral predator to see how the two figures compare.
We’re those the little Dino bots from the TnmT game from way way back when that was third person coop? That’s wild!
The dinos you are referring to are mousers. I do believe they were featured in that arcade game, but these specifically based off the 80's cartoon series. NECA put out an army builder pack a few years back. I'll be showcasing them here soon! Thanks for watching!
That's impressive
Thank you! Army building is one of my favorite parts of collecting! Please feel free to share with others who may want to take part!
It's just a hallow cheap peace of poop plastic mold with missing detailing it's like they quit halfway. McFarlane has gotten real lazy he was all about detailing a great paint job now he's just like every other toy company.
I wouldn’t go that far, but to each their own. There is definitely a good vehicle here, but it could have been a lot better. However, when you consider bang for your buck, it’s still a better offering dollar for dollar when you consider what other companies offer regularly. Most wouldn’t even attempt a vehicle this size at retail. Again, that’s not to say McFarlane couldn’t have stepped it up. Thanks for your thoughts and for watching!
If Neca made a new line with different packaging, it would be neat, but only if they also gave us an ultimate version as well. Now we have a single figure from a completely different line instead of the ultimate.
Exactly. The only good thing about this release is that it’s technically a better version of the figures that came out in the early 2000s. During San Diego Comic-Con NECA revealed that they’re also re-releasing the gurney version where Hannibal Lecter is strapped up with his face mask. Outside of the updated deco, there’s nothing new.
I really appreciate the special effects, like in the firing cannons and fire exhaust.
I’m happy to hear you enjoy them. Whenever I have the opportunity I like to add special effects to my reviews because I think it makes my videos more fun and engaging!
Luckily I got this as soon as it went up for pre order. I was upset it was an exclusive but it was a sacrifice I had to make lmao. Definitely worth it now that I have it especially since the Dark Knight Trilogy is my favorite. Great video and unboxing.
I’m glad you were able to snag one! One thing about Mcfarlane exclusives is that usually you only have one good opportunity to get them easily at the start and then after that they never wind up releasing again. I knew I would likely regret if I passed the Tumbler up, so the choice was easy for me! It’s my favorite Batmobile as well! Thanks for watching!
A shame they skimped out on some of smaller details. (Namely the stationary air brakes.)
I'm right with you! It's definitely good for what it is, but a little more effort would have gone a long way. The Tumbler itself is really only $70-75, so I wonder what McFarlane would have given us if they skipped out in Lucius and put the extra money into more details and features.
One wonders how to make a custom Azeem from Robin Hood Prince of thieves!
I bet you out could repurpose parts from McFarlane's Princess Bride figures along with some custom soft goods and I imagine you would be half way there!
Hell yeah man looks so cool! I’m a Keaton whore but I love the dark knight!
I knew I couldn't pass this one up when it went up fro preorder. I'm glad to have it as it's probably my favorite Bat Mobile of all the films. I also have the camp version preordered, but Amazon is delaying the fulfillment for some reason.
Nice video, but I'll pass.
Thanks for your feedback! I'm really happy with the Tumbler, but I think McFarlane could have splurged just a bit more to make it feel a bit more deluxe.
Badass figure I would,t go crazy if Neca does a 1/4 scale on Feral..
I don't collect their 1/4 scale figures, but that would be a sight to behold. Come to think of it Outside of their 1/4 TMNT Movie and Cartoon Figures, they really haven't put much emphasis on that scale. They just announced a 1/4 better Juice, but that is just a rerelease of a figure from well over a decade ago at this point!
We shouldnt have to do this. Neca should have given us an articulated figure
I 100% agree. That's the biggest reason I did the head swaps. Just imagine if they gave us articulated figure based on his different looks from the film. You could squeeze out at least three different figures as far as I'm concerned. If you do get the figure let me know if you try the head swaps for yourself!
@@alanthecollector yes, its a very odd choice for such a popular character
The black belts are probably a reference to the original toys from playmates, same as the belt straps for Leo and donnie
Ahh. Good catch! That seems plausible to me. I knew someone would have a good suggestion. Thanks for the response and for watching.
Does it scale well with the marvel selects?
I don’t really have any standard sized Marvel Selects in my collection, but I do own quite a few diamonds select offerings. He’s about eight inches so I imagine he should be about a half inch to an inch taller than most Marvel Selects. I hope this helps!
@@alanthecollector Thank you! I am hesitant with the Marvel Select version of Deadpool for my 1/10 scale collection. This could be worth the try.
@@jamestolentino5436 Though I don't own the Marvel Select Deadpool, This figure sculpt and articulation wise I think is much better. If you get it, let me know what you think!
Fantastic ideas on how to improve the statue (or if you're Todd McFarlane "pre-posed action figure" lol) so much so that I went from being indifferent toward it to wanting to buy it and the various other figures to improve it 😂
Thanks! I'm strongly considering keeping it just because of the fun I had. I really hope NECA puts this statue thing to rest now so we can get some truly great figures from Silence of the Lambs and other classic horror films!
Surprised at NECA phoning it on with this re-elease. Yikes.
They've been doing it a lot lately and not just with older Cult Classics figures like Beetle Juice and House of A 1000 Corpses. I believe the recently released Ultimate Lily Munster figure is a statue below the waist and I'm 95% sure NECA new Krampus figure will only have articulation only in the arms and head and maybe the torso for the price of $100...
Great review and some solid recommendations with interchangeability. I'm with you Alan, I just have a hard time seeing the value in the re-release of this figure without the articulation. A few months ago when McFarlane Toys released images of their World of Warcraft and Diablo non-posable figures, I feel like there was a fan backlash against that direction of statue like figures. It's not that I don't want those IP's or Hannibal, but the early 2000's McFarlane Movie Maniacs statue type figures, and this release of older NECA figures just doesn't seem like a great direction in my opinion - not the licensing, just the execution.
I 100% agree! I really hope this review gains more traction to let NECA that if they plan on reviving the Cult Classics library of figures then we want those older figures upgraded with modern articulation. Thanks for watching!
Great video! I enjoyed it a lot 💚
I'm really glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the research on the weapon names.
No Problem. I didn't go in depth about how they are used in this review, but I did during my video on the original Mezco boxset. Learning more about the weapons is half the fun sometimes.
I love this set, the colors pop and the goofyness in the expressions make it more likeable for me. Mezco you have collected over it is never accurate to the reference, it's always their own take and mix of things. Price is definitely debatable, and that was true for OG set too; I think $80 per turtle was a sweet spot. No soft goods was a bummer but they cut costs for MDX releases normally as the units made are limited.
Good points all around. I get that Mezco always takes liberties with their figure designs especially when the property doesn’t have just one definitive look. However, since these are animated inspired, I would have appreciated if they gave us more animated inspired accessories beyond the extra heads. Were you able to scoop up their Casey Jones? I was lucky enough to snag one. Thanks for leaving your thoughts!
@@alanthecollector Yeah got Casey..hopefully they'll soon do Splinter and Shredder.
@@Mr767267 I think they'll definitely get to them as well as April and Bebop and Rocksteady. And could you imagine Kraang and his Android body. That would be nuts! But I have a feeling those figures would be store exclusives. I would be down for all of those, but I think I would have to tap out on the Foot Ninja if they ever get to them. I just can't imagine army building for $100+ a pop.
@@alanthecollector Kraang would be great too. I think Foot soldiers would have less chance to be done as it's a commoner. If they do they might do a $120 double pack with more focus on weapons etc. Still, I feel it's hard to happen.
@@Mr767267 Good points! a $120 double pack would be the only way I'd buy foot soldiers. Any more than that and I think I'd pass altogether!
🔥
😎 Thanks!
This set is definitely not worth getting, everything about this set is just off putting
I will say it does look a lot better in hand. The promotional images didn't do them justice. However, the odd accessory choices and lack of soft goods, make you wonder why Mezco charged the same amount as the original boxset.
The fact that they gave Mikey a serious face, but not Donnie is crazy😂😂
I really wonder what the thought process was behind that decision. I think for the price they really could have added an extra head for each of the turtles, especially since they didn't include any soft goods with this set.
Is it worth me spending AU $900 on ebay for these? No
Hmm... that's about $640 USD. Personally, unless you really love the look of these turtles I wouldn't go much past $100 to $150 over retail. $200 over retail is the absolute max, but you really have to be sure you want it that badly. Honestly, as good as these figures are I think you should wait for a better deal or another good variation of the Turtles from Mezco. I hope that helps! Thank you of watching!
I bought the first mezco set. They were great and I didn't mind paying AU $850 for it. But I can't justify doing the same for these, especially with their lack of accessories. Would have been good if these figures each came with a hat and trench coat
And yes, if they do another variation, like a mirage style with red bandanna, I will consider buying them
@@lukeluck1395 I think I would be down for a third mirage set with red bandanas. I've heard some say they'd also be down for a black and white variant, but I think that's where I would tap out.
