I like the modular nature of the neca sets (how you can put any expression with any mask on any turtle) but i do appreciate how much customization and individuality Mezco put into this set. Makes it fill worth the price because theres so little re-use.
This was an amazing review on these amazing figures. I love how you went over everything and the size comparisons that had a little bit of everything to ensure everybody could tell the size of these. I had seen some people complain on Facebook that these are too small, and I have no idea what they ate talking about. The size is perfect on these. I didn't get these, but oh, was I tempted! The blending of Mirage with Playmates and original cartoon is done so well. It feels like it is probably 85-90% Mirage, which you can't go wrong there!
Dude your purple background is really effective man! And boy, epic review sir 🤜🏻👌🏻👍🏻 definitely De La Soul for Mikey! But please bring back the FINGEEEERRRR 😂😂😂
It's comparison time! Awesome review Wade. So we'll thought out and shot. Your passion for these figs and the source material really came thru! Entertaining from start to finish.
Finally found these at my local toy store. Got em for a great price considering what they are selling for. Could NOT be happier. This set is a grail for damn sure
Awesome review, man! I love the transitions from video to still shots so we could examine the details. Also, I agree with Mikey bumping De La Soul and Raph bumping ONYX. Leo probably listens to Nas or Kweli, and Donnie has Organized Confusion/ or maybe MF Doom lol.
These look awesome! Got mine preordered at entertainmentearth. I'm going to be nervous until I get these in hand. It's good to hear Casey is coming. Splinter, Shredder, and some Foot Ninjas need to get made too. A Gomez x TMNT figure would be on point too.
Great set, even better review 🔥. Mezco definitely did us dirty with the promo pics. Thinking about starting a support group for those of us that missed out on the PO 😅
They were bad I intentionally didn't order through Mezco because I wanted to be able to cancel if the final images didn't impress. When I saw them at the Mezco booth I pre-ordered another set lol.
Awesome, amazing, great review/video!!! Thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish!! And great figures for sure!!! Mikey is listening to Tribe Called Quest or Gang Starr.
This set is so good. Even though it comes with so many accessories I’d still be down for Mezco to release an accessory pack. Even more heads, color themed weapons, and maybe a set of belts/straps with their initials on them to have even more display options. Can’t wait to see what they do with the license. Mezco’s Shredder is going to be insane.
Bro, you reviewed this four pack but I cannot believe you missed out on reviewing the fantastic four even though you got it! I was looking forward to your review on that set😢
I had absolutely NO plans to buy this set but damnit man….. this review makes me want ‘em! Haha. TMNT the sh!t when I was a shorty and man this set brings me back to childhood! Great review like usual! 👊🏾
Very detailed and meticulous review Wade. IMO these are the best Turtles to date! My previous favorite were Super7 ultimates Turtles but these are so much better. Paint and detail wise is fantastic, Mezco did an absolutely amazing job here. Just wish they would've done something similar with the 89 Batman.
O.M.G!!!! These figures look insanely good…..and damn your review is incredible and absolutely encapsulates everything that is amazing about them. Hats off to you man you really showcased these in a very special way.👏🏼 I guess my only problem is that I’ll never be able to own this set at that particular price point. God I wish I could, I’m blown away by them and haven’t and probably will never have them in hand. Respect to your channel for always bringing straight up fire content.🫶🏼🤩👍🏼
damn, now i want a second set as a spare :D... yeah it's not cheap but I wouldn't say it is expensive when you consider what you get, a premium product, and I'm not just talking about all the accessories, but the attention to detail and finish i.e. sculpting the ball joins (wrists and legs), the stitching, soft goods, pouches, etc... if you consider the price and what you get, it is very well priced... $100 per turtle it's cheaper than the man of steel edition mezco does with same levels of accessories... but again, I don't think taking a couple accessories off from the set would have reduced the price when you think about the craftsmanship that went into them... my 2 cents lol
still, love this review. I think this one and the one the amazing did on my favorites. There was also another guy that did D fantastic articulation segment, and he really pushed all the joints.
When they were first announced i gave them a pass based on the price and expecting them not to be that good, then i saw images from Comic Con and i was depressed i passed on them, then reviews started coming out and i was incredibly depressed i passed on them. I put these on Waitlist months ago and resinging myself to never getting these figures, luckily Mezco let me know this morning my order was moved from Waitlist to Preorder and I'm really excited.
Would have been cool to include a Klunk from his one off comic but won't complain for the accessories we did get BTW Raphs secondary weapon is called Tonfa. Alot of the weapons were part of the 88 Playmates figures
Do I wanna pay the nearly 1k shipped to guarantee I have them in hand or do I wait another month to maybe see if I get a chance at snagging a set once they start coming in stock? 🤔
_Heeeeey!_ I was able to make it to the last live, but didn't have much time. Been venting about how much of a POS some of these RUclips toy channel ppl are. You've always been a genuinely good guy, and glad you're still goin' strong in the community.
24:43 Maybe it's an optical illusion, but Mikey and Ralph's heads look really huge compared to the other two. Maybe it's just that certain expression heads are smaller/larger. *And that Raph in the trench coat looks _profoundly_ good. Unlike the movie and toon versions, this is what a comic version in disguise would look like 👌🏻.
very very curious as to how much you actually paid for these cause people are asking for anywhere from $800 to $950..... People are charging $200/$250 per turtle.......... insane, dope review just want to know how much you paid. $800 is a couple car payments for me
Mikey would totally be listening to the kind of music Quicksilver listens to in the X-Men movies, tell me they would be best friends and be trading their playlist on cassette tapes to listen to on their walkmans
These are an absolute home run Grand Slam actually... I think the only thing I don't care about much are the effects. It makes them look cartoony, only one I like is Michelangelo's twirling nunchuck
I would kill to get these! These are incredible! I would never be able to afford them straight up, I would need to make payments, but I would pay double!!
I’m pretty sure the throwing knives effect are for Leo and Donnie the Shuriken throwing effect is for Raph That’s what the pouch on the back is for the Shuriken
These are amazing, but I would feel bad if I used 400 for these and not 500 for a PS5 I been wanting. But shit, if I ever have extra money or get tired of a figure line, I might keep em on my radar.
I just came here to see you gush obscenely over these masterful figs.
I don’t think you will be disappointed hahaha
Nah def not. I have major fomo on this set, glad you mentioned that even though it’s amazing it’s still $400, but man it looks awesome.
These turtles are official. I got mine and I definitely felt overwhelmed at first too with all of the accessories. Great review Bro!
I like the modular nature of the neca sets (how you can put any expression with any mask on any turtle) but i do appreciate how much customization and individuality Mezco put into this set. Makes it fill worth the price because theres so little re-use.
The Turtle colors are a throwback to the original playmate’s figure coloration.
I don’t know, they seem to be more from the 2012 colorations
Mikey was dark forest green and Raph was lime green from the original Playmates toys. Here, they’re color swapped so yeah, they’re 2012 colors.
This was an amazing review on these amazing figures. I love how you went over everything and the size comparisons that had a little bit of everything to ensure everybody could tell the size of these.

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the review and size comparisons! Tried to do a bunch, hopefully I got everything haha.
Yeah imo they are perfect size!
Dude your purple background is really effective man! And boy, epic review sir 🤜🏻👌🏻👍🏻 definitely De La Soul for Mikey!
But please bring back the FINGEEEERRRR 😂😂😂

Mezco went all out! Good for them. Great set. Pretty amazing articulation to be honest. Awesome review.
Awesome review Wade! Still waiting on mine but I can't wait to get these guys! Nice job on the closeups so we can see all those insane details
Great review Wade!! Hopefully I'm able to cop a set of these myself!
Great review! Thanks for the shout out and the tag good sir!
Awesome review, man! I love the transitions from video to still shots so we could examine the details.
Also, I agree with Mikey bumping De La Soul and Raph bumping ONYX. Leo probably listens to Nas or Kweli, and Donnie has Organized Confusion/ or maybe MF Doom lol.
Love hearing all the different takes about these wonderful figures…excellent job as always buddy!
Thanks man! I haven’t watched too many reviews of on them but I am sure everyone loves them ahahaha
Wade, such a thorough & awesome review! I didn’t know I needed this set; now I’m sad that missed out on picking it up.
Are the leather parts gonna flake someday?
These look awesome! Got mine preordered at entertainmentearth. I'm going to be nervous until I get these in hand. It's good to hear Casey is coming. Splinter, Shredder, and some Foot Ninjas need to get made too. A Gomez x TMNT figure would be on point too.
Great set, even better review 🔥. Mezco definitely did us dirty with the promo pics. Thinking about starting a support group for those of us that missed out on the PO 😅
They were bad I intentionally didn't order through Mezco because I wanted to be able to cancel if the final images didn't impress. When I saw them at the Mezco booth I pre-ordered another set lol.
Great review! Wish I would've had the funds to pre-order them! The 31:49 things are probably one of the easiest weapons to pronounce - tonfa. 😂
I had given up by the time I got to those hahaha. You arent wrong though!
Dammit, Wade, I'm trying to avoid buying these! Your review is making me reach for my wallet...
I wish I could buy these.
Mezco should do a Shredder next!
Yessss! Well Casey Jones is next but after that!
Casey + April mezco 2 pack of course @@UnparalleledUniverse
They have to put Casey up for preorder first
Fuck I hope they decide to release a Shredder.
BEBOP AND ROCKSTEADY!!!!!
These remind when turtles comics were dark and violent. Fighting the triceratops race. Good times can’t wait for mine.
Nice how long you took to appreciate the set and how you shared the way you changed your mind throughout the process
Awesome, amazing, great review/video!!! Thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish!! And great figures for sure!!! Mikey is listening to Tribe Called Quest or Gang Starr.
Bro. This is the best review of this set ever! You nailed it
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it!
now lend me 400 bucks to buy one??@@UnparalleledUniverse
This is gonna be fun!
Props to the Organized Konfusion drop that Micky is chillin to on the Walkman lol “must kill destroy stress!l

A heads pack with all red bandanas would be a good idea.
Dope review man I can’t wait for mine to arrive
4:47 Mikey has a small part, like a hook on his belt. What is its function and where should it be placed?
I dont see the hook you are talking about. He has an extra pouch but it has no real function.
Been waiting for this one! Let’s goooooo 🔥
Great review mate, can’t wait for mine to arrive
Bro, you reviewed this four pack but I cannot believe you missed out on reviewing the fantastic four even though you got it! I was looking forward to your review on that set😢
I had absolutely NO plans to buy this set but damnit man….. this review makes me want ‘em! Haha. TMNT the sh!t when I was a shorty and man this set brings me back to childhood! Great review like usual! 👊🏾
Best review I’ve seen of these. Knew we could count on you! ✌🏼
Thanks man! I appreciate that!
I'm so happy Mikey isn't blue. 😅
The light green looks great with his orange mask. These figures are the best.
Very detailed and meticulous review Wade. IMO these are the best Turtles to date! My previous favorite were Super7 ultimates Turtles but these are so much better. Paint and detail wise is fantastic, Mezco did an absolutely amazing job here. Just wish they would've done something similar with the 89 Batman.
nice bro dont forget the shells rotate for more articulation
I have a question. Is the leather strong enough and does the paint come of easily?
Where did you get that beautiful purple background?
Still waiting for my set….Friday!! I’m happy with the size. TBH I was worried they would not scale well with the rest of Mez One 12 line.
Where did you get these from? I ordered mine from toy snow man and they havent said anything about shipping them yet
I got mine from Mikey’s Toys and Collectibles
I can't wait for these to come in! I really hope mezco does a shredder, they would absolutely kill it with a shredder figure.
After anxiously waiting for these to arrive, I can finally say I have them in hand and they're dope.🔥🔥🔥🔥
These look fantastic thanks for the review
Mikey is absolutely listening to beastie boys
The push dagger is what goes in the big sleev pocket thing like on the 80’s figure
O.M.G!!!! These figures look insanely good…..and damn your review is incredible and absolutely encapsulates everything that is amazing about them. Hats off to you man you really showcased these in a very special way.👏🏼 I guess my only problem is that I’ll never be able to own this set at that particular price point.

Respect to your channel for always bringing straight up fire content.🫶🏼🤩👍🏼
Straight killed this review sick comparisons brother 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man! Glad you liked it!
How do your other turtles look up and down? I feel like only my Mikey can look up that much, not the other 3
damn, now i want a second set as a spare :D... yeah it's not cheap but I wouldn't say it is expensive when you consider what you get, a premium product, and I'm not just talking about all the accessories, but the attention to detail and finish i.e. sculpting the ball joins (wrists and legs), the stitching, soft goods, pouches, etc... if you consider the price and what you get, it is very well priced... $100 per turtle it's cheaper than the man of steel edition mezco does with same levels of accessories... but again, I don't think taking a couple accessories off from the set would have reduced the price when you think about the craftsmanship that went into them... my 2 cents lol
Do a review on the KO turtles and tell us where you got them. I want them!!!
still, love this review. I think this one and the one the amazing did on my favorites. There was also another guy that did D fantastic articulation segment, and he really pushed all the joints.
Killer review and dope pics!
When they were first announced i gave them a pass based on the price and expecting them not to be that good, then i saw images from Comic Con and i was depressed i passed on them, then reviews started coming out and i was incredibly depressed i passed on them. I put these on Waitlist months ago and resinging myself to never getting these figures, luckily Mezco let me know this morning my order was moved from Waitlist to Preorder and I'm really excited.
where can i buy these at a decent price?
Mikey is listening to the 80's cartoon theme song.
hahahaah maybe!
WOW, Congrats on these figures
Amazing review bro, these are fantastic.
Thanks! Yeah they are amazing!
I'm waiting for the eventual mirage repaints frfr
Hell yeah they did a second release and I hopped on the waitlist and got em. Glad I didn’t over pay lol
21:41 *Definitely some Wu-Tang 100% and De La Soul as well. Probably some KRS-1, A Tribe Called Quest, Kid N Play, Beastie Boys all the way.*
Would have been cool to include a Klunk from his one off comic but won't complain for the accessories we did get
BTW Raphs secondary weapon is called Tonfa. Alot of the weapons were part of the 88 Playmates figures
Do I wanna pay the nearly 1k shipped to guarantee I have them in hand or do I wait another month to maybe see if I get a chance at snagging a set once they start coming in stock? 🤔
Make the best decision for yourself but 1k is crazy talk haha. I would wait, I don’t imagine the price would get much higher than 1k.
@@UnparalleledUniverse yeah you ain’t wrong, 1k is crazy. Probably wait and see what happens in a couple months
Mike would listen to Digable Planet, late 80s and early 90s hip hop. And maybe some 70s and 80s funk lol
I think mikey and donnie both would like alternative blink 182 21 pilots green day 😄
_Heeeeey!_ I was able to make it to the last live, but didn't have much time. Been venting about how much of a POS some of these RUclips toy channel ppl are. You've always been a genuinely good guy, and glad you're still goin' strong in the community.
is there gonna be a restock?
Great review…Figures look great
Absolute great run through of this set!
Thank you sir!
I'm SUPER bummed out I didn't pre-order this set. It's gonna be a MAJOR drag trying to track this set down on the aftermarket! 😩

I paid retail, which was $430 for the set after shipping. $950 is ridiculous
you a real one thank you for letting me know homie @@UnparalleledUniverse
Yeah they really look dope with that splinter
Really captures the mirage initial colored comic releases
oh for sure! Def captures the spirt of those OG comics.
hope Neca is taking notes on the articulation set up
Yeah but they ain't asking $100 for one.
Mikey is definitely listening to De La soul, Run DMC, and Del the funky homosapien, probably some Biz Markie and Outkast as well!
Daaang Del?!? Mikey would be cool enough to bump some Del!
And don't forget Bob Marley beast boy and 2012 Mikey both like to jam man 😎✌
🐢🐢🐢🐢 Dope review!
Thanks!
yaaas!!!! these r filthy good!!!
Mikey would totally be listening to the kind of music Quicksilver listens to in the X-Men movies, tell me they would be best friends and be trading their playlist on cassette tapes to listen to on their walkmans
Damn if you gave Leo the brown robe he would’ve looked like he did in the 2007 tmnt movie ghost of the jungle
Where can I get this?
I think its sold out most places.
Potential to be figures of the year! better than Neca imo.
How much is this set?
Wow this video made me want Ninja Turtles figures for the 1st time!
Nah bro wait where did you get these from?
is this better or Joy Toys?
I think they are
Raph is totally into metal and I refuse to believe any different. 😂🙌
Hahahaha nah Onyx! Hes definitely into ONYX!!
mikey definitely bumps tribe called quest
As a TMNT collector … I’m waiting on these still - I got a label … and I can see THEY ARE the goat no mights here THEY ARE the best ever
These would be perfect for a stop motion, ngl…
These are an absolute home run Grand Slam actually... I think the only thing I don't care about much are the effects. It makes them look cartoony, only one I like is Michelangelo's twirling nunchuck
I would kill to get these! These are incredible! I would never be able to afford them straight up, I would need to make payments, but I would pay double!!
yo is mikey the best articulated? cause everyone using him as the "articulation" one.
For me, it’s just because his belts are the easiest to remove. Raph’s come off easy too but he’s a little more bulk. Same articulation points though.
I’m pretty sure the throwing knives effect are for Leo and Donnie the Shuriken throwing effect is for Raph That’s what the pouch on the back is for the Shuriken
That makes sense! Thanks!
@@UnparalleledUniverse no problem I mean I can see how you get confused since Donnie and Ralph Come in the same tray
Oh man so i wish we could get these seperately to go easy on the wallet. These the kind of figures you want to double up on too😭
I'm considering selling all my NECA turtles to get this one "definitive" set for me.
I started selling really rare lego sets that I have.😂😂😂
@@jess2322 I feel you! It's definitely a lot of money for one set!
@@anthonium.Where is the next batch available? I'm on the waitlist for mezco but on any other site it just says sold out or out of stock
@@mohammedabeer6611I'm also on the wait-list. I really don't know of any other place that may have them.
