Also I think they should introduce a new "Deluxe" figure scale for like $5 more you get a bigger figure actually to scale but only in the certain large characters like Spike and Leatherhead so for like $15USD you get the larger figure and more accessories and you HAVE to buy them to complete the collection its a perfect money maker and keeps everyone happy.
I dont understand whats going on...figures and toys are getting poorer in quality and higher in price...I pay $20-30 for a figure that just the same as the Happy meal toys I used to get like 10 years ago....I still have the 2K3 leo and I got him for like $10 or so and figure was perfect, it even have color shades...now I have paint every figure I buy to make it look good...even the scale is terrible its like they didnt even try...
the price of plastic is going up and kids interest in action figures is going down so they end up churning out lame figures like this. TMNT still seem to be one of the better toys at retail though which is a sad state of affairs.
rodster6 Hasbros marvel figures are a little better...at least they got all the coloring and articulations....I just cant belive I'm paying all that for a figure and paint it...
alypkm Yeah the marvel one's aren't too bad though still too small for my tastes but deff the best of the bunch at retail. Especially in the UK they don't sell any Legends, NECA etc. basically the good stuff.
Old Toybiz Marvel Legends which came with a comic, lots of accessories and where highly detailed where about £8.99 now Hasbro sells them for around £16 The paint is sloppy, there is little to no detail or accessories. What the hell?!
Slash is like my favourite character in the Nickelodeon show because instead of being a full blown villain he's an anti-hero and you can empathise with the character (But he won't do that back, but you can't blame him he was raised by Raphael).
One of my favorite characters, but this figure is smaller than Raph, seriously Playmates, go big or go home. I hope they get it right with Rahzar and Dojo Splinter, because it looks like they already blew Newtralizer.
The way his mouth is done, there's little definition between his jaw, he looks like a Hippo. They didn't even do his horns on his head. Awful all around.
I was looking forward to Slash after seeing him on the show, but the size just really kills it for me. Maybe instead of some stupid gimmicky vehicle with a repaint of one of the 4 turtles...they could have put that budget into actually making a deluxe Slash figure in scale & with Turtle figures.
I agree in fact Slash was one of the figures that really wanted back in the day but for some reason I never got him. Hoping to pick one up for cheap down the road along with a vintage Casey Jones.
It makes me wonder if they do the scale wrong just to mess with us. I mean I've never cared really, up until now. Is their any problem making him the size of the shredder?
The vintage Slash was a 1000 times better looking. He looked a lot like the turtles only twisted and evil. Playmates should have stuck with that concept. I'm just going to buy and extra Raphael figure and customize it into Slash.
Yeah, I have to agree with you, Dan, the toy should have been bigger. Also, the paint job is slightly sloppy. Plus, his eyes look kind of off to me. I don't think parents would have minded paying a bit more for a more on model figure. Anyway, great review, as always, Dan!
I love Slash in the cartoon and was looking forward to this guy, though I'm not sure I'll get him now. I understand not being able to make them as big as thy should be, but there's no excuse for him to be smaller than the turtles. That's really disappointing.
bradsdadg I should have bought the four Nick turtles instead of the classics - probably would have had had smoother shoulder joints. The ones I really want are Fishface and Rahzar.
The main problem with this line is that each box the stores get has 12 to 16 turtles (3 or 4 each)and like 1 of everything else. And now they just become peg warmers
Honestly it looks too small, but still its better than the original slash as that was a remolded turtle body, this is a unique figure on its own. I am still going to get Slash
Another TMNT figure to put on my NOT to buy list. Such a shame they keep falling short on what have the potential to be great figures. They started so strong with the four turtles themselves but many of the toys since then have been ruined by odd design choices like the articulation on Shredder and the small size of many villains.
I have Slash.. I painted the unpainted spike areas.. Yes its smaller than it suppose to be but details are very good on this.. Also vintage one is even smaller.. And also mine has soft chest, like there is an empty place in there
Why are people talking so bad about this figure. It is hard to get and i mean hard it might be small but who cares it's just a nice looking figure and he looks cool.I don't have him but he looks nice in this video
Hate to say it but this is one of those figures that just looked better in the original series. This one is nice but he almost looks like he is from the Wallace and Gromit movies and not a fearsome foe for the Turtles to battle.
They can never get the scaling right. This even bothered me when I was a kid. They can solve half of this by making the original 4 turtles smaller. They are supposed to be small, anyways.
I love how instead of giving us proper figures of the Big Characters now they don't even wanna make them anymore, Just more and more turtles!...Gotta reuse those parts as much as we can!...:D
Ugh!!!! First Leather Head, now Slash?!?! I'm thinking Playmates should consider making a collection of larger scale characters from the show. Perhaps charge a few bucks more? It'll be worth it to have these guys in the scale they should be in. Leather Head and Slash should be large hulking figures, not what we've gotten. So annoying!
wow that is surely disappointing on the scale wise for this guy. I kinda hope some cutomizers out there will do him justice with a proper figure. also gotta laugh at the inclusion of newtralizer on the good guy side of the packaging. I wouldn't class him as a hero
They could have done better. He's proportionate, just not in scale. His color is off. He should be more green/blue. He looks closer to the color of the original toy. Pass.
I don't understand at all why they can make deluxe figures of the turtles with stupid gimmicks but cant give that sorta funding to making these guys who should be huge deluxe and bigger?? Those stupid 8 inch figures that flip or pop or whatever peg warm SO bad anyways
holy..neon shell...gawd , LOL why do they hate making them scale accurate. the main 4 are in their own separate scale, with better articulation then they got these McDonald toys for the villains. they paid attention enough to make the turtles the same heights as they are in the show, ie donnie the tallest, raph small but bulky...
It's all about scale man. I'm not a hater and I enjoy the line but c'mon. Ok, you're gonna skim on QC for paint then at least give us a decent character scale. Losing faith and getting more and more disappointed.

If they colored it like they advertised in those little packets you get whenever you get a TMNT item, then it would be a lot better.
wow the one decades ago looks..WAY better

*****
It makes it nigh on impossible to collect in the UK as the figures are marked up so much over here
I actually think this figure(asides the scaling) looks damn good. More detail than most of em! Good design overall too.
Slash is like my favourite character in the Nickelodeon show because instead of being a full blown villain he's an anti-hero and you can empathise with the character (But he won't do that back, but you can't blame him he was raised by Raphael).

I can't wait to get my hands on newtralizer!
What the hell did they do to you, Slash?
The way his mouth is done, there's little definition between his jaw, he looks like a Hippo. They didn't even do his horns on his head. Awful all around.
PEWDIEPIE!
Good Job Dan Finding Them Because I Could only find the one u can take apart to mix other figures like that but yet I still got it
I so want this guy.
I got slash at target and his toes are painted the same bright yellow as his shell on mine
He's a taller version right
+NERDy TRUE hero you should see the baxter stockman action figure
Yo that is the mix an match figure u noob
Spike, What Happened? Did you get into the Mutagen?
I told u it's slash now
I was looking forward to Slash after seeing him on the show, but the size just really kills it for me.
Maybe instead of some stupid gimmicky vehicle with a repaint of one of the 4 turtles...they could have put that budget into actually making a deluxe Slash figure in scale & with Turtle figures.
Older Slash looks awesome lol.
I agree in fact Slash was one of the figures that really wanted back in the day but for some reason I never got him. Hoping to pick one up for cheap down the road along with a vintage Casey Jones.
Very cool figure, like the design and proportions
what have they done to slash
It makes me wonder if they do the scale wrong just to mess with us. I mean I've never cared really, up until now. Is their any problem making him the size of the shredder?
Ikr? In the catalog list, he looked taller.
The vintage Slash was a 1000 times better looking. He looked a lot like the turtles only twisted and evil. Playmates should have stuck with that concept. I'm just going to buy and extra Raphael figure and customize it into Slash.

OH MY GOD WHAT THE F*CK DID THEY DO TO SLASH >:O!!!!
amen.
im not a fan of his new bulky look, but I will say this, being voiced by Cory Feldmen, the Donny from the first and third turtle movies is pretty cool
Great review as always, PD. However, classic 1990s Slash remains one of the finest action figures ever let alone better than this one.
I haven't even seen Mutagen Man in the aisles yet and he got reviewed awhile ago. Aisles are littered with baby Turtles and Mousers.
bradsdadg
I should have bought the four Nick turtles instead of the classics - probably would have had had smoother shoulder joints.
The ones I really want are Fishface and Rahzar.
The main problem with this line is that each box the stores get has 12 to 16 turtles (3 or 4 each)and like 1 of everything else. And now they just become peg warmers
I was really looking forward to getting this figure but upon seeing the scale I'm no longer excited about it
The oldschool Slash was better looking than this.
where do u get the slash and newtralizer figures from
Honestly it looks too small, but still its better than the original slash as that was a remolded turtle body, this is a unique figure on its own. I am still going to get Slash
The original Slash toy had a totally unique body mold and parts.
whoops i take back my comment, thnx!
The old slash toy looked nothing like he did in the old cartoon.
JAKE COLA COO
I hated how he looked in the old cartoon so I was glad the toy was nothing like that lol.
This version of Slash is an improvement compared to the one in the original cartoon.
slash is not a evil turtle slash join the turtles in the series
Another TMNT figure to put on my NOT to buy list. Such a shame they keep falling short on what have the potential to be great figures. They started so strong with the four turtles themselves but many of the toys since then have been ruined by odd design choices like the articulation on Shredder and the small size of many villains.
He may not be the best figure. But i like the character so i'll still get him.
This new wave blows
I'm really want to get this figure and give it a remodeling. Like adding good paint decks and add i in more features
Why is the scale so poor with these current TMNT figures? Spike should TOWER over the turtles
Dude,freaking pixel Dan should stop talking poop about the Toys.He should just make his own
Hey Dan when are you getting your hands on the new artfx+ statues?
I have Slash.. I painted the unpainted spike areas.. Yes its smaller than it suppose to be but details are very good on this.. Also vintage one is even smaller.. And also mine has soft chest, like there is an empty place in there
+♡Midnightfury I used Revell model kit water based paint..
+♡Midnightfury You are welcome
Mine has a chest like that too. I think it's where it dips in at that spot.
+Eli Whitehead mines too
He would have knees if he was as tall as he was supposed to be.
Why are people talking so bad about this figure. It is hard to get and i mean hard it might be small but who cares it's just a nice looking figure and he looks cool.I don't have him but he looks nice in this video
I hope they give us Tokka. I was a fan of all the mutant reptiles.
Playmates are getting sadder and sadder
Picked this guy up and Casey jones at Walmart for 8 bucks. Can't believe it because they are super expensive online
At 6:41, Slash is shorter than the turtles but he's bigger than Newtralizer? That's impossible.
Hate to say it but this is one of those figures that just looked better in the original series. This one is nice but he almost looks like he is from the Wallace and Gromit movies and not a fearsome foe for the Turtles to battle.

I love how instead of giving us proper figures of the Big Characters now they don't even wanna make them anymore, Just more and more turtles!...Gotta reuse those parts as much as we can!...:D
I found one at Walmart but already had one
Kinda sad that the paint deco on the vintage figure's superior to this modern version.
That's something you can always fix by customizing it, the real problem is HE IS SHORTER THAN RAPH
***** the size is the other problem.
His shell is too bright!And isn't he against the Kraang?
Do you know if they ever made a Karai action figure? My 4 year old son really wants to add her to his collection.
can i buy slah from amazon?
I love Slash
Just got slash to day and freaked out
DAMMIT PLAYMATES! SERIOUSLY?!
hes good now
Original looked cooler...
... why does Slash look like a Moomin on steroids?...
should of came with a little Spike
Ugh!!!! First Leather Head, now Slash?!?! I'm thinking Playmates should consider making a collection of larger scale characters from the show. Perhaps charge a few bucks more? It'll be worth it to have these guys in the scale they should be in. Leather Head and Slash should be large hulking figures, not what we've gotten. So annoying!
I laughed at Slash's size. That's fucking ridiculous!
The slash figure I got was fully painted toenails nails the spikes near his shoulder
See..told ya he was gonna be a flippin' shrimp. Hell..you could mutate a shrimp n' he'd be bigger than Slash.
pixel dan i am a fan of action figuer
where did you get that slash guy
wow that is surely disappointing on the scale wise for this guy. I kinda hope some cutomizers out there will do him justice with a proper figure. also gotta laugh at the inclusion of newtralizer on the good guy side of the packaging. I wouldn't class him as a hero
I was sorely disappointed in this figure as he was one of my most anticipated figures. What a let down. When will playmates get it right?
the vintage slash is alot better but i actually like this one
Newtralizer showing as the good side, whaaaaaaat?
Bro that face and shell color are throwing me off
They could have done better. He's proportionate, just not in scale. His color is off. He should be more green/blue. He looks closer to the color of the original toy. Pass.
I don't understand at all why they can make deluxe figures of the turtles with stupid gimmicks but cant give that sorta funding to making these guys who should be huge deluxe and bigger?? Those stupid 8 inch figures that flip or pop or whatever peg warm SO bad anyways
Slash is blue not green.
I feel like slash should have been tokka from tmnt 2 secret of the ooze.they look almost identical
I got slash today ! his toes are painted yellow why is yours brown
+Stephans channel (TMNT4689) you took the words out o my mouth. YOU THIEF. No, seriously the same thing happened to me today.
lol
I got him today
mine too
Wait a minute why is it team kraang
And newtralizer is team turtle which is wrong too
Oh no the mutagin warped is mind AND HIS SIZE
holy..neon shell...gawd
, LOL why do they hate making them scale accurate. the main 4 are in their own separate scale, with better articulation then they got these McDonald toys for the villains. they paid attention enough to make the turtles the same heights as they are in the show, ie donnie the tallest, raph small but bulky...
slash's skin isn't bright blue like on the figure.. it's a bluish green.. more green then blue..
this is why I'm not buying any of the villains. Guaranteed, this figure will be the only one left on the shelf when everything is sold out.
Tfhghtbvbyvfyhgghjgdokurexaq i6g66ryyjjvng
whats wrong with his face?
And why is his shell neon fluorecent bright green?
Aaah my eyes! ze goggels do nothing!
I was looking forward to slash until I saw this review. Let down by playmates. The wrong scale is the deal breaker.
Mine has yellow toe nails but a sort of weak S on the belt
Mix n Match figure?
Good toy man
This looks like the prototype shown in Toy Fair. The paint job looks AWFUL.
I'm going to just give him a shit green repaint and call him tokka, it's a much more fitting scupt for him.
SPIKE!!!
Great toy review as always but toy sux not for me
I want him
I got slash at chirstmas 2015
Man your slash on this. ...
Slash is good guy not bad guy
1:21 why is newtreleizer a good guy on the back of the box ?????????????????
My slashes toes is bright green
I mean he is blue not green.
It's all about scale man. I'm not a hater and I enjoy the line but c'mon. Ok, you're gonna skim on QC for paint then at least give us a decent character scale. Losing faith and getting more and more disappointed.
This review makes him seem worse than he actually is. I got him and he is pretty awesome
come on his design isn't all that bad and Corey field man does his voice how cool is that
also idont really like the fig
Is it just my imagination or is his back all green
his back is green
