I review the SHFiguarts line of TMNT action figures. These Ninja Turtle figures came out a few years ago, so you will need to buy them used. But, I think these need to be in everyone's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collection!

Hey i can help you with that bandana, im a professional model builder and painter. All you need to do is pin it in place. get yourself a paper clip and a drill bit that is ether the same size or slightly larger than the paper clips diameter. If you have a small manual hand drill awesome but if not, you can use the drill bit by itself. Drill a hole into the bandana first, about a quarter of a inch deep. Then cut a streaight section of the the paper clip to about half a inch length rod. add a thin amount of super glue to one end of the paper clip and insert it. Wait for it to dry, then once its ready, just add a small bit of paint to the paper thats sticking out from the bandana (this will make more sense in a moment) take the bandana with the newley inserted clip and try to line it up center and touch the painted tip to the head and pull it away, it should leave a perfecly centered dot which shows you were to drill the next hole, if you skip this step you could potentially drill the hole off-center to the bandana so i recommend doing this. Then once youve got both holes lined up simply add a thin layer of glue and insert the pinned bandana, the pin will rrally make it extra strong and it will never break again. You could also take a little sand paper to the clip to create more surface area for the glue to grip on to.

Yeah so that "white coating" on the figures is the plastic materials that they use for the figures slowly seeping out overtime. Usually happens when they are kept in storage in an environment that is too susceptible to temperature changes, can also happen just due to age alone though. I recently purchased an Original S H Figuarts Android 18 that had the powder effect on them but it was a very easy fix. Simply put the figure inside its box and sit it on top of a lamp shade with a light bulb shining onto it (needs to be an incandescent bulb so it produces enough heat). After a couple of hours there will be no sign of the powder left as it will of all evaporated back into the figure! Great review as always and I can't wait to see what you add to your collection next!

It's not mentioned in the review but the shells are on a ball joint and they can be moved in any direction, which is pretty unique. Also, take a look at the pics of the prototypes. If you google NYCC 2015 Figuarts TMNT, you'll see that they originally had a different color scheme which matched the "merchandise" style turtles 100% (way better than NECA's bright green turtles). I think that was perfection: the combination of this "merchandise" sculpt with the proper "merchandise" coloring. But then Bandai decided to change the coloring before the actual release, so now we have these "merchandise" sculpt turtles with the '87 cartoon coloring. They're still my favorite though, hands down. And Donnie's bo staff was never painted in the "merchandise"/promo/style guide pictures, so the all brown bo staff is accurate.

Not sure if you got the bandana out, but try wall tack (like you use for posters) that may help to remove it!

If I were to only own one set of turtles I’d probably choose these. They’re not perfect, but I don’t think anyone has made a perfect, toon, set of turtles. These ones remind me a lot of the look of the show’s second intro. I think the expressions are influenced by a lot of the style guide stuff, though the color of the skin and shell don’t line up with the style guide stuff. I kind of wish Donnie’s big, cheesy, smile was the default head in all four, or they just included a third head across the board. Fun figures though. I love how Bandai did the plastron and weapon storage and even the shell is on a ball hinge. I wish more companies would copy some of the stuff Bandai did here, but so far it’s just The Loyal Subjects who are doing so and their stuff doesn’t impress me.

Loyal Subjects really need to make a big jump in their stuff. The pricing doesn't add up with what we can get from NECA
Johnny, these are amazing, but have you seen the Shredder prototype? It was fantastic. Too bad they didn't release it.

It’s stunning
I’m content with the Neca ones, but if they re-release then, I might grab Leo just out of curiosity. At least they’re not in style guide colors. I never understood the green shells on those.

Probably a soak in some very hot water and you might be able to get that bandana stump out of Michelangelo’s noggin with tweezers. Also, that powder could be dust from displaying them by the previous owner. Hopefully just regular dust.
