I won't lie, my introduction to Ray Filet was Tournament Fighters for the Sega Genesis ! And if they made a toy line based on that version of Ray, I would geek out! I even think Sisyphus was kind of cool
Ah, yes, the Great Cajun Craze of the Mid-1980s, introducing one of the best fictional characters and greatest cuisines to the world! I still mix my own blend of Cajun spice, to this day.
Love hearing your childhood stories, and it's amazing how well you remember them! It's easy to see where your passion for toys came from. :) Also, those throwing daggers are called "kunai" (koo-nye).
These wave five Super 7 figures look great. Seeing these figures again really takes me back to a time when my parents would take me to Toys "R" Us to buy me a TMNT figure for good behavior at the doctors office when I was a kid.
I'm glad you called attention to the looseness of Super 7. I recently got the toxic crusader and the ab crunch is so loose it just hunches over and falls. it can't stand at all. Annoying for how expensive it was.
@@ConstantineCydonea I'm not sure what you're asking, amigo. Polyurethane is the preferred method of tightening joints. It's not hard to find, and ideally you apply it with a henna bottle so you can make tiny drops and use the needle tip to get deep into a joint's opening. but it isn't possible to solve the inner torso piece looseness which the turtles and metalhead have, because that piece goes WAY high up inside the body where you can't reach, unless maybe you had a nozzle with a U-bend so it could reach up and around.
I have this wave on pre-order with BBTS. It's disappointing to see how loose Krang is. I have the S7 Ultimates Ren and Stimpy figures and they look great but neither of them can stand - at all. Every company has their flaws, I guess. A lot of my Marvel Legends get really gummy in storage. Some Neca figures are so stiff they break when you try to move a joint. But I still love 'em all.
Great story about your dad! Been patienty waiting to see Krang and Samurai !!!! Krang is a well needed figure as Neca hasn't even released this form in Some time and as a late collector I can't shell out ebay prices for Casey Jones, April, and now Krang. So BOOM . Got a great new fig to place in my Super7 collection as well as flip flopping over to my Neca section
Awesome! Can’t wait to get that Leatherhead. I hated him being so small in the original line. This one looks much better scaled. I may have to ghetto rig the legs on mine so they stand firm on my shelf
Yeah, his original bio card said he was 12' 4" tall, so I was hoping they'd eventually do a huge deluxe version of him, like they did with thKiller Bee, Needlenose, and Krang's Android Body. But I'll happily take a bigger, chunkier Leatherhead figure, thank you!
I have 15 ultimates so far, and every one of them has loose joints, except for my casey Jones whose elbow joint is so stiff it started to break when I tried to move it.
My original figures that inspired wave 5 unfortunately did not have interesting backstories attached to them. My original Krang and Leo the Sewer Samurai were Christmas presents, Leatherhead I found from a reseller at a flea market, but I can say Ray Filet DID have a backstory similar to yours. My parents and I scoured toy and department stores across town looking for him. No luck for what seemed like months, then at a random store (might have been Burlington) there was in their toy section a new case of TMNT being opened up and the first figure the stocker pulled out was Ray. It was like fate.
@@ToyShiz All joking aside, thanks for another excellent review. We can’t wait to get these, but I did decide to skip Leo (and the other variants) for now. (I don’t think Hermione is happy about it.)
The buck human teeth on Leatherhead look so goofy. I get that it’s trying to upscale the original line and stay true to the design, but man, not everything needs a faithful recreation. I’m still waiting for the right combination of character and price to try a figure in this line. Slash might be the one, but I’m still not digging the $55 price. The cartoon NECA versions just look so good, and these at $20 more per figure just don’t compete. Tight joints are so much better than loose joints- these are Adult Collectibles, not toys.
Has anyone tried that kiki joint tightening fluid? Does it work? I know it's just polyurethane (same stuff that's in floor polish), but I haven't tested it. I just don't want to spend money on it unless it works. When I read reviews, they're mixed. Some say it works, some say it doesn't. I'm thinking it works for slightly loose joints, but not floppy joints (which is what I'd want to use it to fix).
I have it and use it often as needed. It works well for me. Just need to let it cure for a little bit. Squeeze it into the joints, work it in more by moving the joints and then leave it be. After 30 mins, the joints feel much tighter. I’ll definitely be using it for these.
@@ToyShiz It did. However, where it popped out it appears to be a peg that was glued in in the first place. So it should be an easy fix. I'm not sure why they designed it that way; maybe it was meant to be able to plug-in at one point?
Wow, Super 7 is really the worst. The loseness for a 55 dollars figure is unnaceptable. I just got my Mumra the ever living and the head's pin is loose, so everytime you change the head, the pin goes down the neck making it impossible to put the head back.
Yeah, they make Hasbro look like super high quality affordable premium stuff. Even though they're like hand painted custom figures, NECA has zero competition. You get two matte finish toon characters, loaded to the nines, mostly able to be found at your nearest Target, all for the same cost of one Super7 figure. Most of these figures just end up collecting dust (so-to-speak) with etailers; hence why you can find them cheaper than MSRP on Amazon and such.
The fact that the joints are loose on almost all of these figures, $55 is unacceptable. Might have to wait til the price goes down or go on sale.
More loose than Grune Legs to the hips? damnnnnnnn :(
I won't lie, my introduction to Ray Filet was Tournament Fighters for the Sega Genesis ! And if they made a toy line based on that version of Ray, I would geek out! I even think Sisyphus was kind of cool
As a Ragin', Cajin', Gator myself....IM LOVING THIS LINE! Such awesome additions to classic faves! I love em'!

Sales of polyurethane are going to skyrocket
@@KairuHakubi its a better way to fix the loose joints? for Legs loose joints as well??

My Krang is terrible. Fresh out of the package, a leg on the walker crumbled and a leg on the tripod snapped off.
hmmm those extra swords.. one of those could have been a little scorpion buddy. I wonder if anyone has a tiny toy scorpion. like really tiny.
Wow! Thanks. Done with S7. Won’t waste my $$ on loose figures anymore.
Finally they launched them! They look cool af, definitely gonna try to get the whole wave
This is first time I've wanted an entire Super7 Ultimates TMNT wave...
@@kidzoki
Same, I didn't thought a whole tmnt ultimates wave was worth it until now

Instead of the weapon tree, the could've given us stands, maybe like a sewer lid design. Thanks for the review
Wow! I'm loving that Sewer Samurai Leo!!
I have 15 ultimates so far, and every one of them has loose joints, except for my casey Jones whose elbow joint is so stiff it started to break when I tried to move it.
Super7 prices are way too high in my opinion
Yeah exactly
They are but if they sell people will pay it

Really wanted to get that Ray BUT seeing Pixel Dan & your reviews $50 some figs should not have loose joints right out of the package!!
Ray had loose wrists. Legs were ok. But he’s back heavy. Just as a clarification if interested.
I love the Ray Fillet story!
I always thought Krang was overpriced, now he's for sure overpriced with those legs.
The fact that we've been waiting like 2 yrs for this wave, to still get loose joints.
One thing you have to admit about my bro Toy Shiz, when he gives it to them, he gives it to them all day. 😂
You know what’s up😂
@@ToyShiz All joking aside, thanks for another excellent review. We can’t wait to get these, but I did decide to skip Leo (and the other variants) for now. (I don’t think Hermione is happy about it.)
@@hermionestoybox4423 def! Well I always say, grab the toys that really speak to you now. There’s always later to get the others
So majority of them have the Jimmy Leg.
Have they changed the shape of the boxes for this wave?
Amazing!!!! Thank you
Wow
Super7: take my money!
Man….what a bummer to hear
I hate to be a nerd but those are historically accurate swords that’s why their two different lengths, also the throwing knives are kunai… yup
Yess finally

The gun will break the holster if you're not careful.
Did that happen on yours?
@@ToyShiz It did. However, where it popped out it appears to be a peg that was glued in in the first place. So it should be an easy fix. I'm not sure why they designed it that way; maybe it was meant to be able to plug-in at one point?
@@KJ-tz7vc gah! Bummer to hear that. Yeah this wave had some flubbage that’s for sure. Happy to say that wave 6 fixed most of these issues
I'm going to wait for these to go for a cheaper price. The loose hips/legs situation is unacceptable.
Wow, Super 7 is really the worst. The loseness for a 55 dollars figure is unnaceptable. I just got my Mumra the ever living and the head's pin is loose, so everytime you change the head, the pin goes down the neck making it impossible to put the head back.

@@Chalor. speak for yourself aliens arent far off these prices
That hasbro line is trash
I have 2 Mumm-Ra figures, and both have rag doll looseness in the hip joints. The hands fall out with a flick.
The paint on sewer samurai is VERY disappointing. That gold should be rich and metallic and shiny....looks very flat and pale.
Eh paint on em works for me.
Cheapass Super7! Disappointed, especially at the price… 😟😟😟
