there's something about ninja turtles figures that I love. the characters design....the colours against that vibrant gren and each turtle reflects their personality well. just great
its awesome to see the figuarts next to the revoltech, you could recreate Transdimenional Turtles, if only we could also recreate turtles forever... It'd be awesome to have high quality 2003 Turtles figures
They have good articulation and alt heads but I don’t really like how they look, and no shading. Worst part is Shredder was cancelled. Neca did a better job in terms of sculpt, accessories, and they actually made the villains
Well all I can say is when it comes to these figures that I own, every figure reviewer has pointed out the weapons holster being a much lighter color than the rest of the belt. Now I will say I definitely prefer the overly positive attitude of Dan compared to the "every figure sucks -don't buy it" attitude of Anthony.
Such a shame that you can't pose the bandana, they should have made that a ball joint instead of a peg. 6:56 Still, the best original 1987 TMNT figures so far.
I can't remember if you showed that the shell also moves to allow more room for the legs to move back or the head to look up more. The shell shifts up and down. Thought I would pass it along to you just incase.
These figures are amazing, but I don't understand, if they are all the same green color and sculpt, why couldn't Figuarts allow you to change the bandanas or the mouth sculpt from under the bandana so we could share all the expressions with all four turtles, instead of getting a whole head for each turtle??? what if i want Leo to smile like Donnie or Raph to be mad like Leo or Donnie to be sarcastic like Raph??? slightly disappointed Figuarts didn't think it through...
Like these figures. Waiting for mine right now. Kind of wished they had more than 1 alternate head. The announcement of the Shredder is what sold me on this series lol.
I just began collecting TMNT figures, so I've been watching lots of reviews of the different lines and I've noticed that people don't seem to understand the difference between a toy that is meant to be played with, and a collectible toy whose main purpose is for display.
As soon as they are released. :-) I said that in the video, right? Don and Leo are out now. Raph and Mikey get released next and I'll do a video on them when they arrive. :-)
Seeing these figures and the Shredder gives me hope for Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady, April and Splinter. I also hope we get the jim henson movie turtles in this line as well because they need proper figures. I know NECA made their own but I want them in this scale and done like this. If we can have several different versions of Goku and Vegeta in the DBZ line and a repaint of fire flower Mario and Luigi then I don't think another version of the turtles is out of the question. :)
I see a lot of people saying the playmates figures are trash compared to these and that maybe so but you are paying for the job that they did. The playmates are only 20 and some odd dollars while these are twice that amount almost triple. So of course these should be better. It's like comparing apples to oranges. The only reason that I would get this line Is if they would fill out the line from villains to secondary characters.
does anyone know if they plan on making other characters figures from the 1990's cartoon specifically because i would really like a quality Rock steady and Bebop figure especially one that isn't based off of the Michael bay turtle film also i really wish that they would make a standalone accessory pack that would be usable for all these turtles as i found that they were missing some very unique additions for instance some mousers for Donatello or Michaelangelo's skate board or Raphael's trench coat and fedora.
Seriously? Leo gets the friggin' sewer lid!? How many times do I have to remind people that *Raphael* is master of the manhole cover!? And sure, all four turtles dig pizza. But Donnie probably could've come with a motherboard and a soldering iron at least. Fanboy gripes aside, These are gorgeous figures that I absolutely want. And I hope S.H. Figuarts continues their TMNT line for as long as they can. The color scheme on the turtles, the sculpt of their faces, their belts and weapons, it all matches the style of the Fred Wolf cartoon perfectly. Even if something happens to keep them from making a full TMNT line, I'll still be satisfied with just the four turtles.
Cool figures but not enough for me to slap 60 on each figure. I love SH Figuarts stuff, however there are limits to what I can get and buy. Happy for the TMNT fans none the less!
It's not an *"official"* Krang, but DAMN the _First Gokin_ *NT-01 CEREBRAL* (basically Krang) looks AWESOME and would fit this collection *perfectly!* Check out Dan's review of it! ;)
I'm glad they didn't give them some funk waist joint, it's always funny when people want waist joints on turtles. I loved the cartoon and grew up with it, but man they looked really goofy sometimes.
Wow, I can't believe I missed this and watched the Raph and Mikey review and missed this vid. I am a Figuarts fan and on my Radar. Think of the Turtle verse you could do with these, the Revoltech, Neca Game, and Classics as a good starter. I still await the 2003 turtles to get some super poseable love. With Shredder coming I do hope Splinter, Bebop and Rocksteady, and an April gets made. Throw in a Baxter Fly and a small set of Mousers.
pixel dan I wanted to know if your bringing any toys to retropalooza?? I would like to buy some from you please.... specially I watched a video that you found a lot of vintage toys at a thrift store, and you said you have them all already but you wanted to save those toys lol! Specially the thundercats.... im a fan of your videos, can't wait to meet you
When it comes to screen accuracy, leave it to Bandai's Tamashii division as well as Max Factory with their Figmas to do it right. I also could have told you that FiguARTs is a fantastic line of figures. They've had their questionable bits(Why did they give the MonsterARTs King Ghidorah such weak wing joints?..), and were a little too stylized at the beginning, but they knew how to make a poseable figure that was well balanced. I can get virtually any of my FiguARTs and D-ARTs to do a side kick, a HIGH side kick, and they don't need any support. Most of my other action figures can't even get there without some support. That's how well balanced the toys are, that you can get them on one leg, and they won't fall unless you knock them over in most one legged poses.
They are really nice figures, but sadly they went with the marketing design and colors of the turtles instead of the cartoon look. I really like them, but i would have loved them a lot more if they were cartoon accurate, luckily we have the NECA versions which are 100% cartoon accurate, but they dont have the amazing articulations that the SH Figuarts figures has. I prefer the NECA versions, but these figures are still amazing
Ive seen Raph & Mikey pictures.. I think these are really cool and smoke the classics by playmates BUT, the alternate head for Donny seems too happy i think.. Also maybe they shouldve swapped Leo's and Raph's alternate faces.. IDK maybe its accurate to the cartoon where Raphael was more of a smart ass instead of angry.. Leo wasnt angry either though.. Ill think about replacing the classics with these.. The shredder is a no brainer for me but then ill need them all. CASH CASH CASH
love your videos Dan. You and the belt weapon holder thing just sold me on these. time to get the Leonardo I saw at Barnes and Noble the next time they send me a 20% off coupon
S.H. Figuarts and TMNT? It sounds AWESOME. I hope they'll make 2003 version. I can pay any price for good tmnt 2k3 action figure. These figures in video look very similar to turtles shown in 1987 cartoon. I'm content.
I just bought some on eBay in plastic insert (no box)but complete. Both. For $66 free shipping. I bet they were $25 a piece but I gad to have @ least Donnie.nevermind ! Mine r different but similar "..
They do look much better than the playmates, heck most of the companies do a much better job than playmates. I really do wish that they would like NECA make a collectors line and playmates do the toys for kids.
Kevin Clark the only problem with neca is the license meaning unless your at a con they are tough to get or they are super exclusive. most of the figures are double or triple price on ebay before they ever get released.
Kevin Clark ya but playmates is cheap and and still cool but all the other companies are better. and playmates was made mostly for kids. but ya i agree reveltech, neca, sh are way better
These have to be the best toon Turtles figures ever, they are just amazing. And wow, when those Playmates Classics Turtles came out, I thought they were really great, but now, having them standing next to these new ones, they look like complete garbage.
The price is definitely something to keep in consideration. I agree that the SH Figuarts blow Playmates out of the water, but it's the difference between a $60 direct'tp-market figure and a $20 retail figure. :-)
***** Not at all, but you're fooling no one if you think Playmates quality hasn't taken a nosedive into the deep end over the years. I've grown up with this line over the last 30 years or so, I've been able to recognize the decline. Granted, they weren't ultra amazing in the past, either, but Playmates most definitely cuts corners. If a company can take a license and use it in the way SHF does, and Revoltech, etc., why can't Playmates? Because they are in a quantity over quality mindset. Paints are severely lacking, far more than most lines in the past, articulation seems to be an afterthought, etc. I know they aren't supposed to compete, or be of the same quality as an import, but come on...
I bet neca could make amazing figures as good as these in the $20 price range if given the chance. Playmates attempts at $20 figures have been mediocre to garbage at best.
i always love Bandai , SH Figuarts stuff not to say other toy company are bad they try but they don't deserve hate , SH Figuarts they are more famous on Godzilla / anime figures they always get everything right with their figures I got a some bandai stuff not any SH Figuarts stuff because im not ready to get some figures of SH Figuarts and they too much for me ,some times, I would have to buy 200 dollars to get all 4 tmnt figures but its good because these deserve that kind of price , and people that are closer would get them cheaper but im in austraila and theirs not a lot SH Figuarts or Bandai figures . I only can some online , thats alright I will wait as long if these guys don't go rare wich its getting closer but easy to get cheaper , I might get one out a time
Yeah, but still, there are a ton of action figures for kids everywhere yet qualitywise Playmates is at the bottom of the barrell. A low price point is not an excuse to release half finished products.
At the end of the day kids will pick them up and play with them, they could care less about what the adults think of their products. That's why companies like SH Figuarts and NECA should be doing the collectors market.
Japan seriously makes the best figures
Canadiansamurai ugh dugh there the best
Ikr! But some figures have too much articulation which breaks the sculpt.
no
@@dandondayrit4471 nope
@@doyouknowdawaymybrooda5823 not at all

S.H. Figuarts has to make the 2003 versions of the turtles.
maybe they will if this line sells well
Graham Goldman they're planning the 90s movie turtles too
Aaron Rainge where did you read that?
Graham Goldman from different reviewers
Aaron Rainge this is the first I've heard of this
Wow. The Playmates classic turtles look like bootlegs compared to the SHFiguarts.
I did not know you watched pixeldan
Primero 62 a figure is 3 times the price also
hell no, speak for yourself, playmates are better
The playmates classic turtles could have been way more cartoon accurate.
actually I prefer playmates
11:00 Donnie with his special Ed twin
Great joke man, very funny. Not offensive at all 👌🏻
Eamo why don’t you cry about it
@@eamo2334 lmao I have an autistic cousin, I found this funny. You're just a snowflake.
I'd love for SH Figuarts to make some based on 2003, 2012, Rise, or really any other versions. We have plenty of 80s versions of the turtles.
its awesome to see the figuarts next to the revoltech, you could recreate Transdimenional Turtles, if only we could also recreate turtles forever... It'd be awesome to have high quality 2003 Turtles figures
Die-Cast TMNT figures?! Never thought I'd see the day. O.O
They have good articulation and alt heads but I don’t really like how they look, and no shading. Worst part is Shredder was cancelled. Neca did a better job in terms of sculpt, accessories, and they actually made the villains
can we have a yellow jumpsuit April with her mic, video camera and turtle com, pretty please!
no
Well all I can say is when it comes to these figures that I own, every figure reviewer has pointed out the weapons holster being a much lighter color than the rest of the belt. Now I will say I definitely prefer the overly positive attitude of Dan compared to the "every figure sucks -don't buy it" attitude of Anthony.
If they actually made toy figures that looked like this when I was little I would've got these (or hoped to).
Such a shame that you can't pose the bandana, they should have made that a ball joint instead of a peg. 6:56
Still, the best original 1987 TMNT figures so far.
Bought Donatello in 2018. Thanks for the video!
I can't remember if you showed that the shell also moves to allow more room for the legs to move back or the head to look up more. The shell shifts up and down. Thought I would pass it along to you just incase.
i really like these, the last turtle figurines i had were really bad, limbs were all wobbly so they couldnt even stand.
I might consider getting these.... maybe...
These figures are amazing, but I don't understand, if they are all the same green color and sculpt, why couldn't Figuarts allow you to change the bandanas or the mouth sculpt from under the bandana so we could share all the expressions with all four turtles, instead of getting a whole head for each turtle??? what if i want Leo to smile like Donnie or Raph to be mad like Leo or Donnie to be sarcastic like Raph??? slightly disappointed Figuarts didn't think it through...
Any idea how to tell the authentic SH Figuarts Turtles from the bootlegs? They do exist.
They aren’t a thing too my knowledge as long as you get from amazon and other reliable sources you shouldn’t have issues
Like these figures. Waiting for mine right now. Kind of wished they had more than 1 alternate head.
The announcement of the Shredder is what sold me on this series lol.

As soon as they are released. :-) I said that in the video, right? Don and Leo are out now. Raph and Mikey get released next and I'll do a video on them when they arrive. :-)
Pixel Dan Raphael is out now, I don't think Michaelangelo is though
The recent playmates movie turtles are really good. Some of the paint on the alternate heads is way off but us what it is.
Can't wait to get these! I'm waiting to ship Leo and Donnie when Mikey and Ralph come in hopefully October.
I’m going to pick up those tmnt sh figures tomorrow

This is still king of the turtles today! Real shame Bandai droped them.
I hope the turtles themselves won't be the only ones they make. I want a Shredder, Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady, April and Splinter to go with them.
And the turtle van!
It's not an *"official"* Krang, but DAMN the _First Gokin_ *NT-01 CEREBRAL* (basically Krang) looks AWESOME and would fit this collection *perfectly!* Check out Dan's review of it! ;)

where u get them from
All that work and then they don't do the right colors for the belt buckle/initial?
These are based on the 80's cartoon model which did not have the colouring on the belt buckle.

These Tmnt Sh Figures are at a $61.00 to $67.00 price point each. Your welcome 😌💸
I want the comic version from SH figuarts!!!!!!
I like the NECA arcade turtles
what stores do you think have these?
I’ve seen them at Barnes and noble
Which is better? TMNT figurarts or Mondo TMNT?
Cloud VII mondo but it very big sh is just 6 inch and 6 inch is awsome in my opinion
I need these and the wwe ones that are coming out.
can you recommend playing with sh figuarts?
Jm Carascal you could but the paint can get smeared
They came in a set of two?
No individual

Can these be found in stores?
You can try it at comic stores , some sell SH Figuarts figures ... with luck you can find the Turtles too .

Hi friend
How does Playmates even stay in business with their horrible figures...
The cheaper price point
Yes, but even that doesn't excuse the terrible paint apps, unfaithful sculpts or poor articulation, especially nowadays.
Adults buy them for their kids, they are geared toward kids, but I understand your points.
Yeah, but still, there are a ton of action figures for kids everywhere yet qualitywise Playmates is at the bottom of the barrell. A low price point is not an excuse to release half finished products.
