Honestly, I picked these up to relive my childhood memories. This is the closest I can get to that. Differences, imperfections don't matter.
Same i grabbed the 2 at my target need the other 2 still i opened them and displyed them infront of the box
I picked these up in memory of the figure I had back in the day.
Seeing Playmates rereleasing them brings back the nostalgia
When they're in un-mutated form, the rear legs are supposed to be placed below the side flaps, not above them.
The side flaps rotate 180 and tab into the belt buckle. This allows those rear legs to tuck in. Weird that's not on the instructions!
i was wondering what those slots were for{realistic weapon injury?}
Thanks for letting me know! I never thought to do that.
@@razrentals8897 Yup, that makes the knees tuck in more and the back/front feet look more natural
It is in the instructions right there in step 1 in the video lol. But you are totally right
@@themcmc darn, now I feel like a dope for missing that…
I use to pinch my fingers messing with that darn tail.
Yeah, as someone else stated. Those side panels spin down to become an underbelly.
Great review!
Thanks for letting me know! I had no idea!
🎶 We're painting the wristbands red! Yes, painting the wristbands reeeeed!🎶
Maaan, this was a great vid!
From A to Z it was perfect. Very entertaining! Especially the rods & balls LMFAOAOTP!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've seen the "Making of a Ninja" toys with the new art style. I noticed they're all a different shade of green and thought maybe that was why Raph is mint colored. I looked them up, and that's not the case though. Michelangelo is the mint colored one, and Raph is still the grass green color you described. Weird choice.
Nice and detailed review
Thanks!
The original ones did come with the 'Mutation Charts', like all 12 figures in the line did. Note that the first wave made it more like 'evolution' of an entire species of mutants (starting as cavemen for Bebop, Rocksteady and Splinter; something fish/tadpole-like for the turtles), while the second wave (Shredder, Foot Soldier, April, Tokka, Rahzar) was more of a personal development of the character (Foot Soldier started as a light bulb, duh!).
Why does everyone nowadays not flip the rubbery side 'panels' (where the intra-marginal shells on a real turtle would be) on to the front? The old instructions clearly tell you to do so (there even is this little notch underneath the belt buckle for them to lock on).
Not doing so is rather bad for the durability of these things...
Those side flaps usually were the most common thing to break on these figures (next up were the 'inside legs', that's why they changed the connection to metal screws since 2003).
The only thing missing was some stickers for the turtle food can and ooze. Lol
FYI, the sides are meant to swing out, rotate and tab in behind the belt buckle.
I'm so glad I had these as a kid, the reissues look terrible. Couple of years ago I had to buy a new Raph, my original was stolen by a "friend" of my brothers he didn't even bother to steal the weapons 🤣
Yes the Turtles did include those Mutation charts, really my favourite thing of the sets, think I still have one somewhere. I might pick up the Mutatin' baddies as I sadly never had those as they're slated for later this year.
What's wrong with the Bebop at the end?
I'll take them and glad they got the other 2 on the way!
I was excited when the picture on the front showed the dark green, they finally got it right... then you opened the flap and I realized I don't need this.
Hey! Love the review. What are your thoughts on the upcoming TMNT Mutant Mayhem movie? Its definitely a bold new direction for the turtles.
Hey what’s up? I think the movie looks neat. I won’t judge it till I see it. The turtles have had a lot of different interpretations over the years so I think they’re one of the only franchises that can alter their style and still work. The animation looks awesome! I don’t have any desire to pick up any of the action figures though.
@@razrentals8897 Neat! Definitely agree in regards to the animation. It has lots of potential.
The main thing I notice with the reissues of the original figures is how much better the paint was on the originals.
Agreed!
The original version had a concerned face in pet turtle mode and even the ninja turtle mode still looked concerned because it had sad eyes.
I just got all 4! Regardless of the changes, my nostalgia levels were very high! I hope to see the Mutating Ninjas with the masks! I wasn’t too into the mutations that transformed into vehicles.
Nice! Are the other turtles out? Where to buy??? Good video!
Target exclusive
The new one feels like parts may break when mutating it. I don’t remember my original giving me that feeling.
I JUST HAD MUTATIN' DONNIE IN MY CART AND IT SOLD OUT BEFORE I COULD BUY IT!!! AAAAHHHHHHHH
Why didn't they paint that wrapping at the wrist?? Lol
They’re Cheap!
The thing I saw was there was no color on the ristband on the new
At Target all they had was Leo and Raph. The WRIST bands are blank and they are missing the TAIL.
The 2014 version doesn’t have pupils in pet turtle mode
I agree, playmates need to quit being cheap with the paint apps, charge the consumer alittle extra if you need to lol
Yeah I feel like I’m fueling these bad re-releases because I’m buying them. But not for the figures, for the weapons. It’s a cheap and easy way to replace the weapons I’m missing from my original figures.
Some of the reissues are perfect for that!
They never painted his wrist bands😂
Hey If you Review the new April from Neca can you compare her with some Super 7 TMNT figures? I don’t like the way the Super 7 one looks, she looks like a wax mannequin.
I definitely will. I still haven’t been able to find her yet.
@@razrentals8897Thanks dude, your videos are amazing btw.
@@Internet_Nobody thanks!
I don't collect this line but if I was i would probably make the effort to get the original vintage line. It would be more costly but I think you get more of the nostalgia. I would get this new line for kids.
Yeah I agree. This would be pretty good for kids. I’d like to know how many kids are actually getting them vs how many adults are collecting them.
I don’t get it. Why rerelease something if your gonna make changes to the sculpt, cast it in a different color plastic and apply incomplete paint apps?
Greta review as usual! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Thank you! I don’t get it either. Their original molds must be damaged or some how they’re saving money. The paint apps are super lame.
@@razrentals8897can you still paint it in the original green?
@@vidfreak727 I’m not sure. You could probably find a close enough green but at that point it’s save you a lot of time just picking up an original figure.
@@razrentals8897 no, it’s not that easy or cheap. I’ll just use Gundam markers and paint them with that.
loving these officially licensed bootlegs playmates keeps putting out lol
I believe the color changing of the older figures might be something to do with the newer figures. If you compare the hues of the Movie Star reissues to the originals they are way off, however they all aline with the 2012 color pallets. It's possible that playmates is either being forced or chooses to keep the colors that current TMNT line.
I thought maybe it may be a Nickelodeon mandate too. Just like the green in the logo turned to a more neon green from the traditional yellowish green.
I hate modern light jade Raph. We didn't have this issue during the 25th anniversary reissue line.
The 25th anniversary reissues were fantastic!
I think the 2012 line did it a bit better
I really hate the paint job. The color is wrong. The glossy glow is gone. It's more dull. And then to top it off, they do a crap job with the bandana and wrist bands. Just charge a little more if you need to. Sad. Great review!
Thank you!
The reissue looks like a bootleg indeed....
This is a horrible mutilation of a perfectly good action figure.
The pale green is a downgrade😢
I had Raph as a kid myself so this is really bringing back menories.
That is really cheap they didn't paint the wrist bands. It looks fake as you said.
Just remember Gary, these cheap rereleases basically killed the better Suoer7 Ultimates Turtle Toys... sigh... screw Playmates. They really don't care at all.
I just saw Kyle from Super7 on a youtube show "geek dad life", he said that the playmates story isn't true.
I thought Brian confirmed the Playmates rumor in some tweets where he said they couldn’t reproduce anything that only appeared on the original Playmates toys.
Your shortest video ever. 😝😂😂😂
Hahaha I know this sounds insane, but I actually have 1 or 2 videos that are under 10 minutes.
