This figure reminds me of the style they had for the 2003 turtles, at least in the face.
AMEN to your point Dan!
A "Motu Origins" style line of TMNT would be absolute perfection.
I do hope they do a little better on the articulation (bicep swivels, ankle pivots, and thigh cuts being pretty important to achieve those vintage poses)
But it would be a dream come true to have a line like that.
I like the Playmates version better than the NECA version. Hope they make more figures in this realistic aesthetic
This is the best TMNT figure Playmates has made in several years. I do like that they went their own way with this, and I agree it makes it a unique version of The Last Ronin that is complementary to, rather than competing with, NECA's versions (including their future toon version they teased). That's smart, and collectors have a reason to buy both. The retro/modern fusion is also very much in keeping with Playmates' heritage.
Love that there's no spoilers and yet some obvious clues to who is The Last Ronin.
I fully agree man, a masters of the universe origins version of the vintage toys would be amazing!
We got our wish
Love that extremely lowkey comparison time spoiler you did there 👌🏿
Agreed, this is what Playmates should be doing. Retro style with modern articulation and paint apps. This may be my favorite Playmates TMNT figure.
The scale is actually perfect because he had continued to mutate and grow in The Last Ronin. He was pretty tall compared to when they were teenagers
Dear Dan, I don't think you'll ever read this but thank you for making my TMNT childhood one hell of a blast.
Well, if you'll remember, Mattel did a reissue of vintage MOTU figures in the early 2000s called "Commemorative". I think Playmates might be testing the waters to see if they can make that play with their retro reissues because they already tried the "Classics" style & were shunned for them (so far I've got a few figures from each of the 4 lines that have done TMNT & I've liked them all)
Pixel Dan after a year just like what you said Playmates did it hahaha
It doesn’t have to be one or the other. New designs such as this would indeed be awesome. But reissues of the classics are always needed. Most of us no longer have the figures from our youth, so I’m grateful to Playmates for making them available again. The ‘80s/90s TMNT line are some of the most iconic toys ever made, and I don’t think we should ever discourage Playmates from keeping them alive.
It would be cool if they did it like every now and then, but over the past couple years they've been going really ham
@@ilkvomit88 But they’ve been selling, often been hard to find, so clearly there’s plenty of demand. And Playmates has been putting in the effort, like the cool outer boxes with awesome artwork for the themed sets. Plus there are plenty of other companies giving us non-Playmates Turtles. I too would like to continue seeing them get creative with new designs. But not at the cost of the classic figures becoming scarce again.
I think it is very optimistic to believe TMNT could carry a gazillion numbers of toy lines Neca (with several sub lines), Super 7, AXN, A recast, a modernisation version of the old figures along with a 5 point of articulation figures. Modernisation of the old figures would compete a lot more directly with Super 7 which many find overpriced having a cheaper option would make sense.
Nice review as always! I have this figure as well. I wanted to get it because of that idea of it being like a modern continuation of the Playmates line. I thought it was fitting because The Last Ronin brought back together Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird so this particular figure felt like an homage to that, in a weird way. Gonna get the NECA one too.
I agree I'd like to see new turtles in this new style like you said Dan.
naturally would love more collectible figures in this line. A dedicated comic book vintage line would be awesome. Also good with reissues too. Still hoping for a mutant module and hopefully technodrome down the road.
Sweet. This might end up being my first Playmates figure since the 90’s. & hope that this is how Playmates do TMNT going forward.
Hey Dan! Thank you for giving us good content on TMNT! I’ve been watching you since the first ever TMNT 2012 series came out!!
Keep up the good work
It's a beautiful and heartbreaking story
I love the old school head, for Playmates this is actually good.
The truth is that this Mike "The last Ronin" looks great, the video is very good Pixel Dan, greetings 💪🏻🇦🇷
The Grappling Hook(1987), the Tonfas(1997), the Kusarigama(2012).
This is what the Europeans was censored Nunchucks that started it all.
I totally agree with you. I would love if Playmates would release figures like this in stores now. Even if they were a little more expensive then MOTU origins so that they had the articulation and the painted weapons.
Just found out about this fig so came to see the comparison. Was not disappointed . Keep up the great work
Glad playmates is starting to do new figures. Hopefully until the Seth Rogan movie we get some new turtles
I'm more impressed they colored the weapons
I would be all in on a retro modern line of all new figures. That’s how you get me back playmates toys!!
Important that it did come with all the Turtle standard weapons, but it is disappointing that it didn't come with the Tonfas. Maybe to extend the Last Ronin like of figues they should start with those articulated turtle figures as how they looked before their fall and also include April both yound and old, Casey both daddy and daughter, and Oroko Hiroto because you need at least one villian.
I would include the ghost like versions of the other 3 brothers also!
@@doctordetroit1217 Well, to do that without getting spoilery it would have to be 3 molds doing a different stance and no weapons. Except as more weapons for Ronin's arsenal. I mean the figure is missing the Tonfas.
Such a great figure! I definitely agree with you..a TMNT origins style line is what they should be making, not just rereleases. I do think they should also rerelease some of their harder to find figures, and figures they never released.
I'm surprised it's not in scale with the classics figures they've done and re-released.
And yes, Playmates should do more figures like this in the vintage scale with articulated joints.
My God. If Playmates did an Origins style TMNT line... My poor wallet... Great review! I have to pick this figure up!
This looks like the best tmnt figure that Playmate has made in years. Haven't been a fan of their figures since the original tmnt toys but this looks like a nice return to form
I absolutely agree
It would be sick to see Playmates do more Mirage characters or some Archie characters
I grabbed the B&W variant of this figure a few weeks ago and one of my first thoughts after opening it was "Pixel Dan is going to love this." If they stuck a biceps swivel in there and gave him ankle rockers he'd be perfect. Personally, I also wouldn't mind it if they chunked him up a little. I look at how dainty his hands look vs a vintage figure, in particular, and I think it would look a little better if they added some bulk, but that's a nitpick. Otherwise, really fun release and I'm actually curious to see if Playmates does anything else in this style and this scale going forward.
A TMNT origins like would be amazing! It could even do what MOTU origins is doing and make figures from other lines too! so instead of the 200X He-Man, Have the next mutation or 2003 turtles
I'm curious how he scales with the 2012 turtles. I have been customizing those figures the last few years. (Blood, battle damage, shading etc.) Do you think that the head will come off this one semi easily?
thanks for the review. Picked this guy up recently myself
If Playmates TMNT went MOTU Origins route it would be huge.
I have said to a couple of friends that I really wish Playmates would redo the old figures in a more articulated manner in the same way Mattel is with Origins so really pleased that this offers a glimpse of what that would be like.
Playmates should do an entire IDW line in the classic style. Hobs, lita, Venus, Jennika etc…
Question: Does he scale well with the 2003 figures?
completely agree! would love to see a levelled up line! hope they finally cast the Raph in the proper skin colour soon too
👍 more Tmnt unboxing please
I think they should keep doing reprints, BUT, they should package all the turtles together with the van as a complete set, almost like a bucket of army men
The head is basically raph's head from the cartoon turtles
The fact that Playmates hasn't jumped on the bandwagon and done a similar thing with turtles in the vein of MOTU Origins might just be the biggest crime of this early decade.
I was a big fan of last ronin came out cause I’ve always loved the really gritty aspect of ninja turtles. If your a fan I highly recommend picking it up, I saw some people having issues with it about price before picking it up but compared to a black series figure I was going to get that day this goes above that figure. What made me even happier was that it is made in the style of turtles I grew up playing with, those early 2000s figures that are built with that dense polymer plastic and every item has a place to be stored on him. This figure just continues my love for all things turtles
Playmates needs a win.
Great Review!! Seeing him out of the packaging really shows how much this figure shines 😎🤓💚
I like turtles
Idc
Me too
@@kaydenjoseph5well you cared enough to reply
Same here
Real
I'm looking forward to getting this guy. He's sitting in my pile of loot at BBTS right now. I thought about getting the NECA version, but Playmates honestly makes better toys. The sculpt isn't necessarily better, of course, but I'm not really concerned about breakage and locked joints with Playmates stuff. And, this guy isn't just a simple repaint/reissue of their Classic turtles...which is a nice departure. Nothing against the Classic turtles, but it is nice to see them do something different. The only thing I might gripe about is that it would be nice if he were maybe a little bit larger...not sure about that, though...I'll have to see how I feel about him in-hand. Thanks for the review and comparisons!
Really reminds me of the 2003 turtle figures
TMNT Origins, guys. Come on, Playmates!
If they will remake the vintage TMNT line with more articulation like this figure and the same 4 inch scale
It will be a turtle frenzy all over
Much like the Masters of the universe origins of course turtles will have more children by them
I like that action figure, big evolution from playmates toy ! Thanks for your vidéo !🙂👍
Here's a question for the Pixel Dan community
If Playmates does in fact hear our cries and goes forward with a TMNT Origins line what should the line actually be called?
I do like the simplicity of just being straight up and going with TMNT Origins, even if it is uninspired because it's basically Masters of the Universe Origins.
I think you should compare him the 2k3 version since he looks more like them
Yeah, it's a heIIa awesome figure...🤘🏼💯✔️
I'd like to see how it scales with the 2012 Turtles
Dan says everything is holstered and moves the broken katana out of the frame 😂
This looks brilliant, do you happen to know if they plan to make the ghost turtles? Fingers crossed, love that he looks to be in scale with the other figures!
I hope playmates sees the potential in this a rereleases the old figures with these updates. I think it would be a smart move in this scale and price point especially at a time when lines like G.I. Joe are doing so well. There is clearly a market for it with Super 7 doing a premium large scale line. This gives collectors a more viable cheaper option.
i thought it was the large size like cobra kai sets wow!
I'll wait for the Super7 Ultimates version
Great figure
I been saying for months playmates need to stop re-releasing the vintage ones and release the vintage ones with added articulation like motu origins
I almost love this figure more than the NECA. It’s an actual toy.
Awesome toys collection 😊❤
I definitely wanna get at least 1 Last Ronin figure to add to my collection.
That whole story was incredible & very well written (I have all 5 issues).
The ending was a bit sad, but it's like Star Wars in the sense that there's still a ray of hope (I'm trying to refrain from major spoilers).
The face reminds me of 2003 don
I wonder if super7has any plans for an ultimate ronin, or if they’d even have the rights?
I wasn't interested in this figure, but after watching this video...
Heck yeah!
Playmates execs watching this video be like "new figure? Hmmmm...let's just re-release the og turtles 8 more times in 2023"
Dan where are your reviews of SECRET OF THE OOZE turtles
I think the Neca versions look better, but great to see Playmates releasing something new! Turtle power
dose the ronin go good with the loyal subjects ones?
awesome 10/10 👍✊
Can you review the Neca toys last ronin figure next?
I do not understand why playmates don’t do these origins type figures. Everyone has been saying it for a couple years now.
Personally, I think Playmates should leave the Origins styled TMNT figures to Mattel. The two are already collaborating with Turtles of Grayskull, wouldn't hurt to continue thIs little venture by releasing a turtles only spinoff line down the road like Mattel did with Masters of the WWE.
I get mine tomorrow
@alakudauda4296 hi
@alakudauda4296 how do I get the prize??
@alakudauda4296 ??
@alakudauda4296 I still dont know how,,is this real
I buy only Playmates TMNT toys because Neca is too expensive and I can also play a lot more with the playmates TMNT
7:26 I see what you did there 😉
💯💙🐢⚔️🍕
Subtle comparison!
Mbappe?
hey, why you don't have reviews at Hasbro's TMNT x Power Rangers?))))
there are cool sets))
I disagree. Give me the reissues!
