I don't know if you're aware, but Usagi started as a comic book series in 1984, the same year as the Mirage TMNT. It's written, drawn, inked and lettered by Stan Sakai and it is excellent. I really recommend you checking it out because it's one of the best creator owned comic book series out there,. The included Spot figure is a reference to those comics, btw.
I find NECA is a treat. I don’t buy all the toon turtles but the ones I have bought have been a treat to play around with and pose and photograph. Usagi is a character I jumped on a preorder for as soon as available even before knowing what all it was going to come with. He’s a must for the Turtle collection no matter how big or small it is.
The shots with the grass at the end are amazing. I really like this figure as well. I never caught an Usagi episode on the '87 cartoon as a kid but I had his Playmates toy and discovered his comic by the time the 2003 TMNT cartoon started up. NECA killed it with this figure. I'm so happy to have it.
interesting on this not being tight. I don't even bother trying to move my neca stuff without heating it anymore. Open them up and right into the food dehydrator.
18:48 That's genuinely the coolest I've seen them look with that cloak on. Something else I saw that totally changed their look is taking the default ears and turning them around. Makes him look more pissed, like Logan after someone draws blood. And I'm pretty sure Usagi came out in '84 too, just like the Turtles. That's a neat little coincidence. Curious to know what Stan's relationship is with Kevin and Peter. Guessing they already knew each other before the crossover on the cartoon.
Just seein' if you figured it out with the elastic belt that holds the scabbards on their side? Some ppl double loop it over one so it holds better. Would've been nicer if there was a sculpted belt over the scabbards and they just pegged in to look more seamless, or given us an elastic belt that's similar in colour. And that's totally being nitpicky because I could die happy if the line ended tomorrow, knowing that we got Usagi.
It's the only thing that slightly bothered me as well, that the elastic band is black instead of the same color as the sculpted belt. Otherwise, this figure is a 10 out of 10.
I wish that the other releases of Usagi came with the elastic belt and now I just wonder where I could find those belts online or in the store or wherever to add to the other Usagi's.
Not surprising that you put out a Turtles video and I'm blowin' up the comment section lol. These lines are almost like their own little bubble universe with collectors. Doesn't seem like a lot of the mainstream Hasbro collectors go hard with the NECA stuff. And wanted to say that every time you mention you're still working on your posing...pshhh. Nah man, you got it down to a science, and you just keep getting better. If I already didn't have two (and was someone that was influenced by anything other than my bank account), you definitely would've influenced me to get this figure. You grimy little (big 6 foot tall when not hunched) influencer you.
I ain't ever going to see this joint on the shelves in the South Bay. Target and Neca had a plan with this figure. Glad the plan made it to fruition I got notification today. Peace! ✌️☮️🔪🔪

Follow your gut though man, if you feel you need to heat up a bit…do it! I don’t want you to break your figure because of me hHAHA
love this figure, deff a 2022 top 10 contender...awesome review as always!

Peter and Stan were good friends, up until this day.

This guy promised when it was released and it's going up to the height we could expect him to reach. Great release and fun review!
The band around his ears is meant to be a Top Knot. That’s how most samurai wore their hair
Great review as always bro!

Yo wade, when does the live stream start?
Sorry man. No Breakfast Bars today. I didn’t get a chance to read any book 😔. I apologize sir
Love posing around this figure! Definitely in Top 10 figure of the year and it ain't 10.
Nice shots at the end!!!
I’m not a NECA fan, but this figure is dope as hell. I put my Miyamoto Usagi next to my Edstar classic Miyamoto Musashi.
NECA is killing it with this line great review
Usagi is amazing. I only have him the turtles and fugitiod but man its easy becoming one of my favorite action figure lines
Really enjoying this figure. I’m not a Neca guy. But this and the gargoyles are great !!
Fantastic figure!
This was a great review..
Thanks!
