I’m definitely at a point where I’m thinking before buying due to the saturation of toys. The figure definitely has to “speak” to me. Not just buying it because it’s TMNT. Good vid 👌🏾💜
that's a definite for sure on your collection. you've got quite a lot as well. I've watched many of your vids. definitely surprised u checked out mines. thank u for your time I know u probably watch a bunch of us toytubers. keep up the great work
thank u much for subbing glad I said something worth while that tricked u today lol. I wanted the sewer pieces as well but the prices were a no go. definitely getting the musk from ramen toys though. I'm so picky with all the Neca & super7 figs now
those Joytoys look really good. I might get that April which looks phenomenal to go with my old school Joe's and C.O.P.S figures. and I'm very curious of the other characters Lingjihun is gonna get into. Feel like the baddies are gonna slay in that line as the ladies say now adays
I agree with you that it is completely over saturated and personal I’ve put the brakes on buying much of anything lately. To much stuff and not enough room so being selective has been a necessity. Great topic and video my dude and look forward to the next one.
shoot I didn't even talk about the space issue associated with collecting all these turtle lines. I did mention the people who have everything. I have no idea how they maintain all of it. its said life is all about over consumption & Over saturation in every aspect of our lives now
@@toyshiek3348 I got their first Veteran William figure and it's pretty crazy. Almost like a Build-a-figure with all the interchangeable parts to go full full werewolf, jacket-less or with jacket. Only worry is that cigarette isn't attached to the head it fits in, so I'm always paranoid of losing that tiny brown spec-sized thing. I'm tempted to get one of the newer variants either with the chaingun or the chainsaw and I'd keep that one in full werewolf mode. Maestro Union's definitely unique. I think there's like a Panda. I'm definitely going to have to get that female hyena assassin.
I love the attention the Turtles are getting on the toy shelves but there is way too many. NECA itself has way too many lines of TMNT, I only collect NECA movie and vintage Playmates and SOME of the Playmates reissues, specifically the Technodrome, Toilet Taxi and the Pizza Thrower.
yes OG turtles will never lose their luster. having a chance at vintage vehicles without breaking the bank is an awesome opportunity. technodrome always go down as the 🐐
Grateful for the "phun" stuff that makes me smile and ignites a spark in me....turtles, trolls, Funk Pop, and all my collectibles🥰... but I agree...I have think...and think again, before I open the wallet.😮
I'm definitely glad I'm not going back to the 90s Playmates ones now in my 40s. I've been pretty impressed and hooked on the Super7 Ultimates versions of them, like that Muckman and Joe Eyeball you have. It's just great to see them fully realized, painted and articulation. I just got the Triceraton and the Wingnut & Screwloose. Got a couple of the NECA like Chrome Dome. I'm a sucker for Slash, so I got like the Super7 Ult, NECA Turtles in Time and NECA Archie versions. I've actually been impressed with some of the upcoming 3rd party figures of the Turtles themselves. I got the 'Autumn' (Donatello from the 'Samurai Force' line. It's got some great details and textures, but he's a small fella. I'm definitely gonna try to get some of the JoyToy 1/18 scale TMNT line. Just glad I survived the lockdowns for the new age of figures!
yeh new modern figures have changed my entire collecting philosophy. every company is usually crushing it after opening it. love Super7 & definitely still need that triceraton & wingnut. what did u think of them after cracking em open? I also need to grab that Genghis frog and the rocker turtles this coming year
@@toyshiek3348 definitely impressed. They are super sturdy, tho takes a little to keep the wings up and on wingnut, as long as you kinda pose him and stand him on the shelf, they'll tend to stay. I can't believe I didn't realize Wingnut and Screwloose were a spoof of Batman and Robin until I saw all the new paint details and accessories. The Triceraton is badass, and towers over a lot of the others, like the Metalhead and Mutagen Man. Love the shine to the guns. The wrist accessories / blade take a little patience with the old-school plug-in-the-hole belt method. I really like the breather accessory to put on his mouth/head. I really hope they make a Panda Khan, Space Usagi, Napoleon Bonafrog and Wyrm at some point.
I believe the toy market over all is over saturated and hurts the market. Its like we get started one line then ether make a better competing line or jusr end the other infavor. To the point getting complex sets is impossible
100% agree. its amazing we finally have everything we dreamed but the saying is really true. be careful what u ask for. we definitely have to be super selective on all lines now
No hate options are great....but in my opinion. Way too many companies have multiple lines in tmnt. It gets overwhelming to try to keep up. Also availability issues and 2nd market price inflation is ridiculous. Fomo making ppl pay triple the price. Love tmnt for budget and less stress I just go vintage and "missing link" toys ones not made but needed.
totally agree. if u hunt ebay & forums u can get most figures for well below that opening FOMO price. so tired of every form of collecting being fomo & all about money. there are way to many companies with many more on the way. import toys on sites like 5k & gundamit are absolutely slaying it with figures not TMNT related. that's grabbing my attention more these days
When you're looking at the ceiling for space..... It's gotten a bit much. Haha
100% lol that's rolling justice cury style. never could do the ceiling too much anxiety from thoughts of bending cardbacks trying to break free
Also I loved the womp womp fail music for Funko. You described them perfectly.
lol yeh buddy dang u Funko always ruining the fun. like the kid on the playground always trying to play with the cool kids

Subbed and yeah, the fatigue has set in. Have all whole neca playset and considering not getting the kitchen because of fatigue.
thank u much for subbing glad I said something worth while that tricked u today lol. I wanted the sewer pieces as well but the prices were a no go. definitely getting the musk from ramen toys though. I'm so picky with all the Neca & super7 figs now
Just ordered the joytoy leo as I've always wanted 1:18 tmnt.
The 1:12 lingjihun tmnt might also be something I'd go balls deep on👍

Oh snap! I have that Crocker figure too! It's a beast! I was looking for the perfect Leather head or Killer Croc and he's both!
my exact thoughts on him as well. same company just showed off some major fire at the wonder fest 2024 show. a new tiger warrior, hyena & a dragon
