I remember my dad trimming the weapons for me and even fixing my nunchucks when they broke. He would drill through the nunchuck handle and glue in a wire that had an orange sleeve on it.❤
I broke a nunchuk the same way. I really wanted to store it in the belt so instead of throwing it away I cut the broken parts off and made a new chain for it using sculpting wire that I painted orange. Drilled the right size holes in the tops of the handles and super glued them in. You can't even tell when looking at them.
It caught me way off gaurd, and admittedly I laughed too much. Also, I had no idea that was a weapons rack growing up. I just thought it held all the weapons in one place for shipping. When you said that I had a complete "mind blown" moment.
my original Raph was a soft head, i played w it and smashed it in and mom had to take a pin to make an air hole to reinflate the head. the toys were based on the comics not the tv show, i recently bought all the walmart turtles. i bought 2 each one to open and one to hang on the wall, personally yes they arent as colorful but i really like em ive been waiting years to get my turtle collection back w/o having to spend alot of money. great video, i'm subscribing
The soft heads sound like more trouble than they are worth, ha ha ha. The packaging on these are well worth keeping in box, I just keep a Raph, though more stock keeps appearing at my store here, might end up with the set anyway...
I usually cut the bubble from the top side on the back right about to the midway through with a kitchen knife. Then you can slide the figure in and out and you don't screw the boxed art and it also does not look opened unless you wrinkle the outside bubble.
If I had the space that would be awesome. I have to open for my videos projects here anyway so people can see! Hopefully someone else sees this if they want the best of both.
Without direct comparison they are not too bad. I don't notice them on my shelf with other TMNT figures. it's good to have them with their full weapons again.

Possible pinning it more flat instead of just hanging on one point. I always had a big cork board for MOC figures that I knew I wasn't going to open. Extra pins all around, not stabbed through but pushing it flat can keep it that way unless you have some bad climate control like too hot, or humidity.
I remembered getting my Michelangelo in 88'... I broke the nunchucks on the next day.... I was so heartbroken that time... So i have to use all the Turtle's Kama as replacement for Mikey's weapons... Then years later (when I started to learn home economics at school) I made my own nunchucks using sticks, strings and glue... Many years later i got these reissue... Someone taught me to store Mikey's nunchucks, place the first nunchuck's end into the 1st slot and the other end into 3rd slot, then place the second nunchuck's end into 2nd slot and the other end into 4th slot, so that you don't have to worry of being snapped... (Then I bought the bootleg movie star turtles, I swapped their weapons with my vintage turtles' weapons, the bootleg nunchucks are elastic and rubbery, perfect replacement for my vintage Mikey's weapons)
The staggering is much smarter for the storage, great tip. Mine lasted longer when I was younger but I guess it had been too long when I got these to remember that one.
I picked up a set of these recently and so far I am keeping them on the card. Here in Canada we have the bilingual cards and the turtles do not have their own card art but instead have the same card for all of them. The villains and splinter do have their own card art though. I got a set of all the figures back in 2009 when they released them for the 25th anniversary of the TMNT and I kept them in the package until 2012 when my oldest son was old enough to enjoy them. This was at the time the new Nick TMNT came out so I got him his own set of figures from that line. I also got a set of Storage shell Turtles as my vintage ones have no weapons and 2 of them have no shell even! Those I opened and keep them on my work desk which makes me smile when I look at them throughout the work day.
That's a great use in saving them for kids. I helped a friend find a few for a full set to save for his son in the future. But they are also great for keeping in packaging also. I know the same carding for the Turtles is likely a copy of later carding, with all four turtles on it? So it's still pretty legit in appearance.
Not a lot with a remake. This isn't even the first time they have released a remake of these. The originals will always go up in value but remakes will loose some value when they get released again later. They are nice to have in place of originals due to the price being low, so not sure if many would buy remakes at a much higher price.
If you are just going to open them, search for the wider released Classic Retro Figure Bundle 6-Pack that has the same figures, plus Splinter and Shredder included. If you want the exact cardbacks it will be tougher. It's possible Entertainment Earth has international options: www.entertainmentearth.com/s/?query1=tmnt+classic
A lot of what I show here are my old toys I have kept in good shape. Lost a few accessories of course but most things are in great shape. So thank you.
Raphael was the first one i got. I got Mikey from a friend but the arm was broken and one night when my parents came home they had Leo and Don with them.
I have just ordered Raphael from Amazon because he was my first Turtle that I have got, and I have chose the classic one over the Super 7 because I did not want to have too many items and Accessories, only the Shredder that I got him from the Super 7 series
They are in the normal toy section. Often near the gaming related toys like Pokemon, Mario, ect. But they have been phasing them out some, but the Blimp was still newer so they could still be around some places.
@@MBXfilms ok thank you so much for the information! I was able to grab a Raphael for $9 right now, and it was the last one! Again thank for the information and awesome review!
@@beysontree7663 Sweet! I am hoping they will do a few more character. You can also search NINJA TURTLES BASIC and see if you can order some at retail price for delivery or pickup sometimes, they pop in and out of stock.
Nothing can beat the original release, but I ll definetely buy these, as I always wished and never had them. I love TMNT and everything related (but till 93 or something). In my country the price will be around 20 dollars
Not having as a kid is a big part of why I collect a lot of stuff. So I understand that all the way. $20 is not so bad. I will be doing some Ghostbusters here soon that we're $15 each, and original figures cost even more to get now.
I just discovered these. Does anyone know anymore about this product line? Are they going to make other characters? Splinter, Shredder, Bebop, and Rocksteady for example. This generation is around 40 now (me) and can afford whatever toys we want. I would buy everything!
They have done these re-releases in the past and done more characters. I think Target has the MOVIE version of the figures. And there are some box sets that do more like Shredder and other villains but the cards are a bit different. For Walmart so far no more are announced. It's great to either revive your old collection or have it when you never got to before. I finish old collections here and there here on my channel.
Hate to hear that but that is what's awesome about these re-releases. I keep seeing them stocked, I may get a set to store away for some lucky to kid have later.
I'm pretty bad at custom, ha ha ha. For me they are close enough, and it's kind of good you can tell the difference so I can still appreciate my originals.
The sort of have this in multiple lines. At Walmart there are VS packs with more articulation, NECA based off the cartoons, and Super7 has articulated figures based to look just like these old figures. TMNT has all sorts of figure lines all over.
@@michaelmatthews2759 The stars fit too loose, and the hooked weapon is oddly shaped and somewhat holster. I just wonder what the "official" is suppose to be.
Right now just waiting on word of other main characters like Shredder and Splinter. I would love to see the other characters like those get some attention, they usually skip them with these remakes.
They do put the "worn" effect on the packaging of stuff like Retro Star Wars figures. But you can see my old figures still hold up bright, ha ha ha. So they got that wrong if that's what they were doing. I think they just have to make them different so people can't try to sell them as old originals.
The original even had two straps so he could hold the two swords in the back. In the original cartoon none of them had straps, it was just for the toys so they could hold their weapons better since Leo and Don's are longer and couldn't be held at the belt. Later cartoons have Leo with a single strap across him. These are the older 80's style.
I picked up the set of these recently, and apart from Raph I think they look great even when compared to the originals. Raphael looks so cheap, though! Lord knows why they signed off on that shade of green.
If they're gonna reissue old figures, at least they should make them look up to par instead of looking like knockoffs. I still got ALL my old figures so it's REAL easy 2 compare.
@@MrChicagoIllinois I was surprised they made those with all the moving transforming parts. It's an OK chance at getting them in some form but why go through all the trouble and not make it like the old one?
I must have got lucky because I only had orders delivered for them, never got to pick from the shelves, though they did finally stock after a long time.
Especially Raph I wasn't impressed with on the coloring. It's strange they were not able to match them better but these may be a cheaper run made for Wal-Mart. There are so many redos now I'm sure others have improvements.
I remember my dad trimming the weapons for me and even fixing my nunchucks when they broke. He would drill through the nunchuck handle and glue in a wire that had an orange sleeve on it.❤
Upgraded! I found someone to do 3D printing and have some replacements; I should show them in a video sometime.

All the other TMNT figures are more detailed but the turtles are so classic they are the best of the set.
