In no way do I mean any of this as pretentious sarcasm, but I'm always fascinated with different perspectives. Like how someone can come along and think certain figures I find amazing are kinda trash. Like me and my collector buddy are in our mid 40s, so we grew up with very limited articulated figures. We both started "adult collecting" in the '90s with POTF2 and Spawn. Neither one of us are ACBA types, but whenever I simply point out some figure has a lot more articulation than another, my friend gets defensive and says _"You're just spoiled! I don't need all that articulation! You want all your figures to be like contortionists, and have them suck their own dicks?!"_ Something along those lines, but a lot less refined, not to mention he can't really say the word contortionist. So I'm definitely not an articulation snob, but I'm also not like him where he doesn't have a problem with limited articulation. It's all about evolution, and some companies just take longer to evolve...or they don't at all, like Super7. So anywho, you (like some others) have me reevaluating figures I've never considered to have a problem with. And that's okay.
So glad you reviewed these. I ended up picking up Shredder and Ra's and while the articulation left something to be desired, I was so impressed by the style I ended up paying Ebay prices on all of them over the course of a year. Leo and Raph were double retail, but I picked up Donnie and Mikey for under half each (NIB) and they amazing as a set. I'm international, so I had no chance at the original releases
I bought this whole series at retail when they came out. I hate them. Aesthetically they're fine but articulation is pretty disappointing on some and the paint scuffs and marks up way too easily. They also feel like the joints will break. The only one I like and kept was the convention exclusive Michelangelo as Batman because it's cute, funny, and the soft goods Cjesim cape is rather nice. I dumped the rest at a toy-reseller shop and it's so weird to me several months later to see people really going gaga over this line. They photograph well, so maybe that's it. A good photographer on IG can put together a great shot to post. And to add insult to injury with this line, I never wanted any of the humans. I don't regret getting rid of them but I probably didn't extract the full value out of them when I sold them. Oh well.
It is a shame that the quality of these figures does not match the current prices because their style is actually quite good. I semi-wish a toy company (not Super7) would take a shot at releasing these but with updated and more durable/pose-friendly engineering. Maybe in a few years, as apparently releasing every single possible iteration of TMNT is irresistible to toy companies. Also, I am here for it
As I said in the comments of one of the other videos, these were made by DCC (DC Collectibles) but offered through Game Stop at first, and they were better articulated figures than what DCC was doing most of the time. Would I mind other versions of these figures, possible from the comics the film was based on? Sure, but I don't know how likely that is at this point.
You're avert self-awareness and self-loathing is top-notch primo stuff Jonny! Just like your buddy said in the recent live, ppl come to the channel because we like you. Whatever your reviewing or talking about is irrelevant. No lol, that sounds horrible. You know what I mean...it's all about you, just like Hatter. Cause I can't give you a compliment without including him. You know, cause you're twinsies!
Yo, i was lucky to get all of them at gamestop at a closing sale. They were $25 a piece. I like they are stylish, articulation is weak, but they are lightly fun.
Totally agree with you that they are no worth the aftermarket price, and the articulation is bad, never the less, that Robin, as faulted as it is, is my favorite Robin figure ever, thank to Paul “God” Harding sculpt. By the way your videos have gotten waaay better, congrats!!!
thanks for making this. I enjoy the hell out of the movie but i have always been uncertain about the figures especially at the price they are second hand in australia…. i am no longer uncertain; i ain’t a buy in’ dem
The best Damien robin figure and I mean the ABSOLUTE BEST is from the DC essentials super sons 2 pack, best super boy Jon Kent figure also. Great vid Johnny 5🤘🏻🇨🇦🤘🏻
@@NostalgiaUnboxed hahaha yeah they are for sure, I might be able to send mine down (if I can find it haha and shipping from Canada to the us isn’t gunna cost me a kidney) but you’d have to wait like a month lol
Lmfao madly no but to be honest I took him out package n put him wid the batfamily (in neutral pose as they take up room infront of my movies) ps I know u didn't enjoy the posing wid these but I always love ur end to the vids
10:23 So you didn't have the Playmates Mondo Gecko as a kid? I thought every kid had that figure lol. Or you did have it, but you just didn't recognize the skull 😬. If that's the case, for shame on you for not having a flawless memory, _uh!_
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Batman fans like you are all pathetic. Batman can kick everyones butt cause he knows karate, mr miyagi showed him the wax on wax off technique. Bunch of idiots.😂😂

If Robin’s joints were better, he wouldn’t be half bad. As it is, he feels like toothpicks connected by dental floss…
Hahaha, exactly

it is interesting. I think we are just in an age where they CAN articulate, so why not make them that way. granted, these figures are a bit older.
So glad you reviewed these. I ended up picking up Shredder and Ra's and while the articulation left something to be desired, I was so impressed by the style I ended up paying Ebay prices on all of them over the course of a year.

So glad you’re enjoying them!
I sold off the Turtles and kept the Batman characters for all the sets. It was a personal decision. Haha
I understand!

You’re spot on. It’s really crazy. I would love to get that Mikey though
Also, Raph is the more that reminds me of Andy Khun's art style (IDW), which was the main reason for me to get these.
And yes, I like stupid.
Hahaha well thank you

Hahaha, I def appreciate that
Finally Raphael! That is not a good version of Robin, in my opinion, but Raphael looks great. Thank you for doing all 4 2-pack reviews!
Yeah, dude! Thanks for watching
Great review! This is the one set that I actually got back then. Which I’m really happy that I did.
Retail or below is definitely ideal!
I’m mostly here for it…that Ralph is the looking turtle of this set.
Haha thank you
I wanted these, but i'm not willing to pay what the aftermarket is asking. Especially considering the coversion to Can dollar, good job as always.👍
Definitely not worth it
Manhole cover & pizzas incoming soon 😂
Hahaha, no rush, my man!
Yo, i was lucky to get all of them at gamestop at a closing sale. They were $25 a piece. I like they are stylish, articulation is weak, but they are lightly fun.
Great deal!
I'm here for it 😂😂😂 hilariously entertaining your awesome
Haha thank you!

Thank you so much! I appreciate that. What video would you compare this to? I definitely want to keep improving them
thanks for making this. I enjoy the hell out of the movie but i have always been uncertain about the figures especially at the price they are second hand in australia…. i am no longer uncertain; i ain’t a buy in’ dem
Not worth it. Just the Mikey and Donnie sets
Rah’s and shredder chillin in the background 🥱
Casually
That is a great looking Robin, though yeah those wrist pegs give me anxiety. Great review!
Thank you!
Kinda regretted not getting these back in the day at GameStop since I loved the film, so thanks for the review!
Thank you for watching!
Definitely here for it & more!;)
Thank you
Thanks for making this video
Thanks for watching!
Why is there not a Joker figure with this line?
He was kind of a minor character in the movie and spent more time in mutated form
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Yea. Which is dumb. Especially for someone who is terrified of those...things... and who really likes the joker/batman/tmnt.
The best Damien robin figure and I mean the ABSOLUTE BEST is from the DC essentials super sons 2 pack, best super boy Jon Kent figure also. Great vid Johnny 5🤘🏻🇨🇦🤘🏻
Thank you and I need to check that pack out!
Edit: they are expensive now!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed hahaha yeah they are for sure, I might be able to send mine down (if I can find it haha and shipping from Canada to the us isn’t gunna cost me a kidney) but you’d have to wait like a month lol
@@haljordan1558 I appreciate it, but that shipping is just too much, honestly
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I’ll hit you up on Twitter, no harm in looking into it if you want to review it
Ok I can’t hit you up on Twitter cause I’m not verified hahahaha
Own this set for a couple Yr now n never knew bout Robin avin the pegs in his back lol
Haha! Wild, do you have his hood down then?
Lmfao madly no but to be honest I took him out package n put him wid the batfamily (in neutral pose as they take up room infront of my movies) ps I know u didn't enjoy the posing wid these but I always love ur end to the vids
@@markcox9243 i appreciate that!
10:23 So you didn't have the Playmates Mondo Gecko as a kid? I thought every kid had that figure lol. Or you did have it, but you just didn't recognize the skull 😬. If that's the case, for shame on you for not having a flawless memory, _uh!_
Haha! Yeah, I am often remembering things I had after seeing them posted recently
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤓
Eyy
Eyyyo
Yes I question why I keep watching 😅 lol
dang
@@NostalgiaUnboxed it's all in fun your a good guy
@@darylshelly6377 lol!
batman is trash always has been. Love me the tmnt, donatello would not lose to a little girl. gtfo
calm yourself
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Batman fans like you are all pathetic. Batman can kick everyones butt cause he knows karate, mr miyagi showed him the wax on wax off technique. Bunch of idiots.😂😂
3rd!😀😇🙏😁
Second, really!
I hate it when a figure looks amazing but handles like crap, those don't look like they are fun to play around with
They are not!
👍🏽Im here for it Boss! Great review one of fav TMNT designs!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the great video, been eyeing them out for a while
Thank you. Maybe wait for a deal haha
Haha😂
Heat up Raph's hands if you want to put the sai's in them. I used a tiny drill so you can slide them all the way in on his lower back.
Oh smart with the drill option
Raph's sais are a bit stronger than Leo's swords, and yes they go all the way inside his fist. I wish I could post pics.
I got it to work haha thanks though
I see ras and shred head in the background waiting for their turn
You know it! haha
I'm here for it 😂
😂
Here for it!!🤗
Thank you haha
