I used to watch this as a kid repeatedly back then, I’m a senior now bouta graduate, I’m scared af of the next steps of life, stumbling upon these videos again made me cry a bit, thank you for being apart of my childhood and making it amazing and never stop uploading please, ur turtle videos are my favorites !
I'm a few years younger than you, but I also used to watch this video so many times as well
I’m also a senior and about to graduate as well. Used to watch the hell out of these videos. Good times.
I’m 20 right now and was a senior during 2020 and I remember watching these videos back when I was 9 when the nick tmnt show first aired. Crazy how we were just kids then and now adults. Time flies
I’m in the same boat. It’s scary man
@@saltypickle7758 Don't be scared, we ALL have to face life after high school. Just make smart financial choices and stay away from those with bad intentions and you'll be fine👍💯
Dear god, those toon turtles look like something out of the nightmares of the guy behind Wallace and Gromit.
yep
TheVGViking If Ardman made TMNT
I can totally understand what you mean, but I happen to be a huge fan of Wallace & Gromit as well. ;)
They remind me of turtles forever (and I mean that in the worst way possible)
Anakayla Picazo it's called an opinion dumbass
I grew up on the Playmates versions. Something to note was that some of the early batch of Playmates figures had hard solid heads and later went to hollow plastic heads that could squish together. By the time the toy line changed to the cartoon look, I wasn't into playing with them and felt the new design just looked stupid.
I miss Suine Hallock. His videos were always great.
This video brings back so many memories. So much nostalgia in this video. I remember watching this like 7-8 years ago. Simpler times
I remember finally getting all 4 of those movie star Turtles figures and being stoked. That was basically the height of my fascination with them as a kid, I remember everything going downhill from there. It was perfect timing for me though, as I was getting into my teenage years around that time. I still wonder what ever happened to my vast TMNT figure collection, I had so many...
So many fond memories of playing with these as a kid.
Same
So many fond memories of playing with these a few hours ago.
@@kingcheerio8558 same
I am so glad I grew up with these times. Being a kid in the 90's is much better than being a kid nowadays. Everyone uses their cell phones rather than playing outdoors.
That toon Leo has one hell of a scarey look on his face!
So much nostalgia in one video
Man watching these reviews brings back a lot of Nostalgia for me. Can't believe it's been almost *Ten years* since this video came out. 😊😁 💙💜❤️🧡🐢
The first figures and the Turtles in Disguise figures were my favorite.
I just binged and bought a ton of TMNT at more than they are "worth"......best feeling I have had since Christmas 88!!! Who cares, no dollar on nostalgia and that feeling for me! Even if you can't afford the "carded" and mint condition because of your financial circumstances....PICK SOME UP AND RELIVE YOUR CHILDHOOD
The Fab Four is a nickname for the beatles. In the music video for the song "Rain" they all were glasses with the turtles colours.
John- Red glasses- Raphael
Paul- Orange glasses- Mikey
George- Blue glasses- Leo
Ringo- purple glasses- Don
way back then, i rememberi had 3 of the 4 toon turtles, i think 2 of the classic 88 figures (donnie and i think raph), toon shredder, a transformer style fireman leo (who morphed into a fire truck), transmuation bebop (can change between a not so show accurate human thug to his familiar warthog self), and i think a prehistoric donnie figure that came with a t-rex.
honestly never thought the 87 series had that many figures and variants.
Throughout the 1990s, Ninja Turtle action figures would run an extensive gauntlet of different themes and incarnations. Whereas Batman may have become known for hundreds of gadget-wielding action figures, just as well, the Ninja Turtles would become synonymous with dozens of historical and pop culture related embodiments. Varying concepts and toy trends resulted in the many examples shown below.
Basic series figures taking on various looks; Leo, the Sewer Samurai, Don, the Undercover Turtle, Mike, the Sewer Surfer, and Raph, the Space Cadet. (1990) Also released with the basic line were the four turtles with Storage Shell. Each action figure had an opening back shell which could store the various accessories each figure was packaged with. Donatello would be released in 1990 and the remaining three the following year.

Even with the silliest of concepts, Playmates managed to create some intriguing and fun figure designs for children. In contrast to other companies like Kenner, who constantly re-released figure sculpts with different paint jobs, Playmates rarely showed a cheap or careless effort in their TMNT figures. But with rising competition, limited figure concepts, and the end of the cartoon series, a pitfall was inevitable.
By the second, less violent TMNT film, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, Playmates decided to create a figure collection based on the characters' live-action appearance. In contrast to the regular figures, these were made of a softer, more rubbery material to better reflect the look of the animatronic costumes used in the films. They also featured ball joints at the neck, shoulders, and hips, and each figure came with a small, canister of Ooze. In terms of character variety, however, the Movie Stars collections were in stark contrast to the wide variety seen in the basic figure lines.
1993 also saw the production of Toon Turtles. These figures took on an almost stereotypical approach to being humorously cartoon-like. Each character bore a friendly, animated appearance with a glittery paint job and including some type of "cartoon" action feature (Raphael's head spun, Michelangelo's tongue unraveled in Tex Avery fashion, etc.). On the upside, this series produced a more "cartoon accurate" painted version of Shredder and introduced toys not previously made for many longtime characters from the cartoon series such as the Neutrinos and April O'Neil's co-workers, Irma Langinstein, Burne Thompson and Vernon Fenwick.
A third movie hit theatres in 1993 but saw less success than its predecessors. This collection featured the Ninja Turtles once again in their Movie Star likeness and sporting samurai armor, as well as several other side characters. The Giant Movie III Samurai figures also came complete with removable masks and time scepters as seen in the film.
In 1994, Playmates, in an attempt capitalize on toy lines like Mighty Max and Polly Pocket, shrunk the Turtles down to an equally small size in a sub-line simply named "Mini Mutants". These were "Turtle Transport Combos" which contained one figure and two vehicles. "Bodacious Battlesets" which were four playsets which could connect via bridges/platforms; these included one figure. "Turtle Top Playsets" were a characters head which would open into a double decker playset; these included three figures. Slimmer "Carry Along Playsets" took the shape of Raph's sai, Leo's katana, and the Turtle Communicator; these came with three figures. And finally, "Mini-Mutant Turtle in a Turtle" was released in 1996, consisted of four playsets that were figures of the four turtles about 6 inches taller than the normal figure; their heads, stomachs, and shells opened into the playsets. Each had themed removable armor as well; two figures were included with each.
The Toon Turtle sculpts looked great but they killed them with the action features-Leonardo especially. I also wish they had given them the brown shells, belts and matching skin tones to give them the full cartoon look. That wouldn't have been a big deal though as long as they were just regular articulated figures without the 'toon action'. Sadly by the time they were released I was fully obsessed with wrestling figures and had put the Turtles on the back burner-I never got to add them to my collection.
I swear the figures for the next mutation look better than the actual show
The he-man sword stood there, lying on the ground to this day.
The late 80's series is my favourite. Remember going to toy store and watching them. I had regular Rafael and Leonardo, Rafael that spun on his shell, Donatello as detective, Michelangelo as surfer, Ray Fillet and Usagi Yojimbo.
You should do updated versions of these videos.
Elnegro813 I agree
I dig the new Rise of the TMNT toys, can’t go wrong for the price
I also agree 2020
this is going back now, I have not gone this far back in your videos, I am pumped, currently organzing my collection of TMNT, I need this
Gonna be turning 16 now but I remember when I was 5-7 watching these videos, really want to go back to the past…
The irony is that the toys based off the second movie look more accurate to the third movie.
6:19 Thanks a lot pixel dan now I can’t sleep without dreaming about this
Love the the 80s version turtles,as well as the current turtles:)
6:46 this is nightmare fuel.
Those cartoon version figures looks like something out of a nightmare!
I grew up with the 2007 and 2012 turtles.
Way awesome review guys! Love the 90s nostalgia! Or might I say late 80s early 90s :) . I use to watch this when I was a kid. One of my favorite cartoon & collected the figures too. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the next episode
The early movie turtles are really good for their time in my opinion.
Cooooool i like you and i like most this video i am yours big fan
You know what's really ironic? Him being Leo and holding He-Man's sword since Cam Clarke, the voice of Leonardo, also did Prince Adam/He-Man in the 2002 cartoon. XD
Other than that, nice look at the Turtles so far! Although I don't understand the 2nd loop.
Hey, dan........ What TMNT toy version in your opinion is best??
The Mutations toys
Im not a big fan of tmnt but I couldn't resist picking up the new toysR'us classic version
Now that I think about it, the next mutation series was as unnacurate as the rise of the tmnt
They both suck
The movie version figures should be what they look like in the new one:)
and since this video we have had; NECA, Super7 and playmates make MORE versions of the 4 turtles making collecting even more work
These ar the videos that got me on to this chanel
Classic RUclips video I use to watch
Is that a subtle reference to Leo and Prince Adam having the same voice actors? ;)
Great vids pixel dan
Man I wish Suine was still making videos
CloneYoshi what ever happened to him?
version 2 are horrifying!
Looks like Dan has more figures to work with so we can get a part 4 and 5
I have the 1988 Raphael and I plan to get the rest (Leo Mikey Donnie splinter and shedder)
Marta Naves "shredder"
I actually had a Raphael action figure when I was in preschool, and it was one of the very first TMNT action figures I ever owned as a kid. :D
I remember i had the pleasure of having the whole toy run and vehicles and bases all execpt the themed characters
You know, I'm in the minority... but I thought Venus de Milo was a VERY good idea... just poorly executed.
You can't just bring in a fifth turtle, and not expect people to ask questions.
john john
AceOfHearts so do I, its a good idea to have another set of two hands or weapons when in a fight with shredder or other bad guys.
TheVGViking
I disliked the show, but the Venus character never bothered me at all. I was surprised there was such backlash against her.
I always thought those black and yellow spots on Donny looked like he had leprosy
I have the very first ones but only raph and doni!
I was thinking in a video of the many versions of TMMT ! nice one Pixel !
9:42-10:05 Ralph:Hey guys
Leo-*killer creepy mode*
Mikey:WTF
Donnie:*is on meth or a sort if drug for sure.)
They look like chinese bootlegs
Love tmnt,great review:)
The collectors store near me is selling the original four turtles from the 80's still in the package. But their like $70 each. :(
I'll be honest I never had an issue with Venus & honestly enjoyed having a female counterpart along with her brothers & it added some some enjoyable humor
that & I never really understood the hate for her as if it has to do with the show then to be fair that was the shows problem or the writers or the budget that can't be blamed on a character if that was the case then that's quite unfair & as for the creator well to be fair nobody has perfect taste
i liked venis :(
Venus De Milo's bandana should've been pink.
Clothesline of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures are a nightmare fuel
The toon turtles look like frogs
I LOVE TMNT!
Los originales tortugas ninja 1988. Genial
You rock!
Any vintage TMNT stuff planned for the new year?
Fun fact his “katanas” are actualy ninjaken blades
Whatever happened to Suine? I used to watch his TMNT stuff a lot as a kid now I can’t find his channel.
Why was this reuploaded? o.O
Yea those toon turtles are just scary looking
How come the turtles in 2003 have no pupils , but they did in 2007 with the same turtles ? Comment to me if you know the answer .
That would most likely be due to the 2003 TMNT cartoon series being more faithful to the original comics by Mirage Studios, where the Ninja Turtles were depicted having white eyes because of them wearing masks, and it was a common feature for comic book characters who always wore masks or cowls such as Batman and Wolverine.
Were those real nunchucks?
yes i think
Yep
No they where sticks attached by a line of chain
Love this!
the toon turtles are my top 10 favourite
That's a classic RUclips mistake. I believe Dan and Suine had nothing to do with it.
Correct me if I'm wrong Dan.
It's me Daniel 😺😌
Superb video!! Really enjoted it dude! COWABUNGA!!!
The next mutation figures were awesome except for venus
AJ Styles I'd buy them but not her...
8:03 don't be so scared Leo, just look away from the mirror.
Guess it's just me n u pal....bring some oj n I'll bring some kush
Pixel Dan I don't know if you know this but I have the original Rafael but that when he's going to a swimming party or something for that
Whats your favourite ninja turtle?
jayanta072 Michelangelo
the next mutation was shocking in every way
Im getting the 1990 movie figures for xmas
Content about the figures starts at 4:00
I saw a Leonardo one at the second hand shop and I bought it just because
I'm miss Suine
dan you should put all the parts together
Love the original TMNT action figure by Playmate toys. The toon Turtles looked like they just snorted cocaine 😂😂 but still were funny. Love the live action movie version because they weren't the hard plastic. And they had the spotted look . Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles: the next mutation failed because they deviated too far from the concept. Venus was too soon for its time and as far as the "don't mention her character to (Peter) Laird, I heard that too.
8:09 O_O †
You know the Venus figure,I think she will have an epic comeback in the new series as a well known character.....
APRIL O'NEIL!
Cool
never seen those movie figures ever in my life haha
Til now its funny
What about the awesome Mutatin Trurtle figures??
I find 80s Leonardo today
+JudgeWacky Crunchenwhip More bad grammar XD
If that's true then I agree with Peter Laird on She who must not be named....
leonardo with his cat on a blade lol
ár4ŗrdft
I enjoyed Venus too the only problem was that next mutation made them not siblings anymore just so the turtle could try and hook up with Venus
1st edition was thebest
lol made me lol many times
motuc stop motion (A New Era) part 5 is finaly here.. Check it out!
Hey dan where did u get those nunchucks at the beginning of the video?
The light blue turtle isn't come to 2013 turtles,is she?
