I love the Playmates toys the best but I gotta say, I am loving the BST classic Turtles. So far, I have: Michaelanglo, Donatello, April O'Neil, Shredder, BeBop and 4 different Foot Soldiers. I also have that BST Loyal Subjects "grey" four pack. That Rapheal is absolutely a beast. I had to super glue the ninja stars into the shash and also super glued his waist belt closed. After that, he is super solid and a great Rapheal figure👍
@@RoyceLovesHisShotgun how is that bebop?? I have been thinking about getting him. Also raph is the best from that four pack hands down. The quality of that figure is on point. I was debating on doing the same to the ninja stars. Over all I'm a fan of loyal subjects. I do think they may be a step up from what playmates offer with their lines.
@@jess2322 i completely forgot about Mezco at the time of making the vid! Mezco is great hands down but they are way more pricey for me. I'm not ready to collect Mezco
Idk if Mezco could go that deep, especially when their design isn't based on any established looks. Maybe a couple of Turtles variant, shredder, splinter, april and that's it. We shall see. For now, I choose Neca, because I like to collect a specific series as a whole, not just the turtles & the core characters only.
@@GamingMafia_id hands down NECA is my go to toy line. My fav is the movie line and I enjoy the animated series line. I would love for them to make more characters tho. Like the 2003 animated series shredder and the full wave of that show.
I’m a Playmates man best quality/value and it suits my budget I don’t pay more than $30 for a figure my favorite is their Last Ronin ps BSTAXN = WSTAXN 😂 Raph’s sai’s are thin shell fell off changing heads super glue took care of that ✌🏼 GREAT VIDEO Thx Super 7 are too expensive and poor QC
I agree super 7 can be pricey that's why I only have 2 lol. Now I do buy them on clearance and have not paid full price. I have to say out of all the company my go to is neca and playmates. And and parts breaking off no problem a bit of glue can fix everything lol.
@@Therealones745 playmates it's constantly releasing new figures some may not be great but they are really targeting more a kid friendly product in that sense I feel that as a collector we can't really expect a great collector product. But something fun to have
playmates major fault is they only release the 4 brothers and they don’t follow up with any other characters from the era. the best effort they have made is the SOTO packs; we get 4 villains and the 4 brothers. the 2003 turtles need shredder, Hun, casey jones, baxter stockman, more and more and more over
@@ADAM_COLLECTS I agree on playmates not releasing major characters like the 03 shredder and Hun. They are great characters even Baxter stockman. You made a valid point I haven't thought of. They only really really release the turtles over and over and the only line we see getting all characters is the mutant mayhem. Which is cool but we need more from playmates. I wanna see more options in terms of comic / animated series / gamer verse / movie line figures.
I was interested in the toon loyal subject until I saw the wonky scale, especially the turtles with shredder. I don't know if they fix that. I collected the core mutant mayhem characters but wasn't satisfied either. I was a bit confused at the time about what I wanted to collect for TMNT. I dipped my toe in the Neca Mirage series, and I figured, Hey, it's their original look, definitive some might say, so I started with the Gen 2 bootleg 2008 turtles and got hooked ever since. Now there's Casey, Splinter, Zog, Fugitoid and recently grabbed the Eastman/Lawson 4 pack. I'd say if you want to collect a specific series, go with any of them, but I can recommend Neca for the Mirage TMNT series.
@@GamingMafia_id As a toy collector and turtle fan I have about at least 1 figure from all the companies besides Mezco. Truly not interested in Mezco. Now again neca is my go to. Any line NECA decides on doing they always give us a great product. I wish I could say the same for loyal subject. However they have disappointed me in the past. Now recently they been putting out some awesome stuff which makes me think I will be getting more into what they are offering. Playmates will have my money in the mutant mayhem things is just something about the mutant mayhem figs I just can't stop buying them 😂. Super 7 well will see honestly I like the 2003 figs but will see if I get them.
I don't have many super 7 just 2 of them which are Casey and samurai Leo. Both great figures. I think I might get the 2003 version only because they are the only company offering them at the moment.
For me, Neca is extremely hard to find in may area. I can find most of the playmate stuff. And some loyal subjects. What makes me mad is I will only find maybe three or two out of all four turtles that really drives me crazy because then I end up having to go to eBay to find the turtle.
personally, the super7 ultimates got me interested in collecting tmnt. So i started with vintage because they were cheaper than S7 (average price $100 australian dollarydoos). then the prices have started to be a little more reasonable so i have super 7. that interest is waiting because they’re not making figures in the playmates likeness, so, playmates is in the lead! I think NECA’s toon stuff are exactly what i’d have loved as a kid! their live action movie figures are as good as it gets for likeness. Honestly, mattel and hasbro could learn a lot if one uses NECA’s tmnt movie figures as the minimum standard… super 7 could learn a lot too. loyal subjects don’t interest me. Mezco, Mondo, the third party companies do not interest me because it’s a little obscure.
@@ADAM_COLLECTS I definitely enjoy all the lines and what they offer. When it comes to limiting I would say top 2 NECA and playmates for me. NECA covers all the turtle lines I wanna see for the most part. By far my favorite are the movie line figures. And they also offer animate series/ gamer verse/ and comic line figures. And when it comes to playmates well playmates just have that unique nostalgia/ fun factor which a lot of us are huge fans of.
@@ADAM_COLLECTS I'm a NECA guy 💯 I like what playmates does when it comes to offering a fun product and price is fair. But again neca does it for me in every category. As far as loyal subs I do enjoy the chances they take in bringing unique turtle products at a good price tho it might not be for everyone. And as I stated I don't have much super 7 figs only 2 I do enjoy them they are awesome but I don't know if I will grow that collection. Over all thank you for your comment I will be doing a vid on all of my alternate characters from playmates. So we can get a bit into that topic.
NECA is excellent minus the lack of articulation. Super 7 is too expensive. Their articulation is often worse than NECA's, especially with their parts feeling brittle sometimes. The size of the figures also don't play very well with others.
@@AnointedFlow super 7 is pretty pricey. I have not paid full price tho. I wait for clearance on them. I like the packaging and all they offer but again I think NECA does better for less. But NECA does have issues with articulation and swapping hands and what not.
Not true... tmnt are not getting value, the market is filled with tmnt shit. The only ones that really do have value are the mezco turtles Super7 is the worst shit ever, don't waste ur money
Neca and playmates

I think we all know Mezco has set the bat at th8s point. So now we just have to wait and see who can top them.
