I think the idea with the ooze ball is that it will not be stable and if you roll it on a flat surface (like a hardwood floor), it will cause it to go in random directions.

I had it as kid and loved it had so many story likes with it!

I’m hyped for this one seeing I have almost all of the figures from this line. Though with the rereleases of the original figures and vehicles, I wanna see them bring back the OG sewer lair and the Technodrome.

For the zip line just wrap the string around the subway light pole a couple more times to make the line more taut. The ooze ball looks like it would sit in the funnel perfectly so you could fill it with ooze then put it upside down on the funnel to let it flow.

This really does look like a lot of fun and I agree with how awkward the cardboard backdrop looks with all the villains on it. Sometimes designers get a little too into their own heads about what a toy should look like on its own and not enough about how it'll actually look when played with. But I just got Origins Snake Mountain in the mail and there's that poll for the new MOTU crowdfund so I'm in a playset kind of mood right now, this still looks like a lot of fun!

Thank you!

Thoughts about the plastic: 1. Plastic for a lot of toys does seem lighter and more flexible which can be good for assembly but bad for holding together 2. Saves on shipping cost being lighter 3. Plastic now is more likely to have recycled elements 4. Might be different to lower production cost. A Snake Mountain it might not be but might still be fun!

I'm picking nits right with you on that cardboard backdrop. It does ruin the pretend play a bit to have a static image of Superfly and others on there and then add the figures to it, even though the artwork is really nice. Would be really awesome if they made the backdrop two-sided or enclosed alternates or something. Or maybe some static stickers of them so I can modify the background on my own without damaging anything.

Couple things. 1. With The Ooze ball the idea is to leave the stopper off and the ooze is the. Supposed to ooze out onto the villians after being rolled down the tracks (I havent been able to get it too ooze out in that fashion but thats the idea. 2. The Subway folds up and slots i to the grooves of lowered section next to the ooze pipe. 3. On the Portaloo theres pegs for the baby turtles, I assume this is so that ooze can be dumpped and ooze down the grates. While I agree there are a number of play features that just dont work as it should, this is a fantastic set and has become a centre piece to my collections. I absolutely love this line and despite being aimed for kids is something Ive loved collecting.

It does take a bit

I think I have the 2012 set? It was on post-holiday clearance at Walmart a few years later, I believe? It was after I moved in 2015. I saw this one the other day, probably at Target? It barely registered other than, “oh, that’s out? Neat.” And I didn’t look at it further. This one, I agree the added mutants detracts from the setting, and without them it could be a great generic setting for a variety of lines. Or general ACBA fun. I’m sure a few decent artists could paint over the mutants, or create a new backdrop instead? I can already see the porta-potty getting painted blue, and a Superman checking out the phone booth. 😂 I might give this a second chance. IF I had any room, anymore. 😭

Just watched your review and ordered one from Amazon 👍👍

Thanks Pixel Dan for this great review and sharing with us this awesome playset, I'm not a 100% TMNT fan but i like it specially the vintage ones, blessings! 🤘

Cowabunga! These are fantastic, i want them all lol 🐢🍕👍

Kid me would use the chandelier as a Shell-e-bro for Donny to scan the city for new pizza joints and crime to fight. Surprised there wasn’t/isn’t already an X Men Turtles mash up wave.

I hear you can connect the vintage one with this new one through the green pipes, the exact way you show on 20:55, just connect the pipe to the hole behind that ladder on the new one

I am probably a touch older than Dan, I was hitting 7th/8th grade when turtles were hitting the cartoon world, so I am used to the large playsets of the couple years prior to TMNT toy releases back in the day. That being said, even though I don’t collect this line, I think this is awesome that a playset of this magnitude was made for action figures, shortcomings he pointed out and all. It was cool to make your own environments and works for your toys, but damned if I didn’t love playsets like GI HQ, the battle platform, Star Wars Death Star and all of the Hoth sets, even the Panosh Voltron castle, He Man and Skeletor lairs, etc. this takes me back to that time, when on a crappy weather day, or even a nice one and you could bring it outside, you can immerse yourself in the “world” of your figures. I loved that as a kid.

Great review, P Danny. I'll leave my boxed for a while until I can figure out where all these playsets are gonna go...

i wish Godzilla x Kong had a great playset like this and not fully cardboard. although im not the biggest fan of having chracters baked into the background of stuff like this, now you have 2 superflys if you already have the figure

I can appreciate that big playsets aren't common anymore, but they're making it big while stretching the build budget thin. And large portions of cardboard and very flimsy plastic aren't signs of quality.

The 87 and 2012 sewer lair playsets were the best.

The subway section slides over the left side of the playset. Where the blanket is on the sticker on the floor so that the subway entrance is sort of flush with the street near the payphone.

Great review! Along side the vintage one is my favorite incarnation of the sewer lair. What about origins snake mountain?

I like the new playset, I got the pleasure of viewing it early with my son before the release and by his reaction alone, this has shot up into the top 2 for me. (Can't beat vintage for me) For a six year old i think this will go down into his memory as something he will want when he's 35! ❤ he loved it.

It looks big because it looks more to scale with the figures. That's actually a good thing. I've always loved the original playset from the first toy line. I have the technodrome from the Michael Bay Out of the Shadows movie. I wish I had bought the sewer lair playset too. I like the van can be pushed through an area of it. Maybe the ooz creates a weight in the ball to make it continue rolling?

@Pixel-dan

9 ай бұрын

You may be right

The ooze inside the ball is probably a way to keep the ball bottom heavy and concentrate its weight bellow so it has an easier way to stay on the train tracks.

@user-do2ev2hr7h

I think it's also supposed to be visual where the entire ball is supposed to represent "ooze" and the interior slime is just for movement/looks/to add a play feature.

So I'm just guessing that if when you put the slime in the ball it's used as a counter weight knock down the bad guys. As for the open peg holes on the subway section that tells me as a HUGE TOY FAN COLLECTOR AND ALSO SRUDY LOTS OF OLD TOYS AND PLAY SETS AS WELL that they might end up coming out with more players to connect to the subway to add more sewer sections and top level city sections kinda like what Mattel has done for the new he man playset castle greyskull but awesome video and presentation of this turtles play set Dan good job on being picking on everything people need too know what they are buying so no kid ends up being disappointed peace bless you all have a good one

Hmm... I didn't have that issue with the elevator. It is a bit wobbly, but it will lock into place when I move it up. The stairs worked fine for me too. There does have to be some decent weight on the top, though. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't the softer plastic making the tolerances inexact

I don't think it's inherent, it's just easier for the soft plastic to slightly warp and once it does, that's it.

OOOOoooooooze. Got a nice ring to it.

I’ve been very curious about this play set. That’s a shame to hear about the quality of the plastic (though not at all surprising). Still, it looks really great and like something that my 3-year-old would probably love to play with as he gets a bit older! I haven’t seen it yet, but I don’t get to do Target runs very often! Might have to check pretty soon, although this is a pretty massive set which there really isn’t much room for at the moment. This is shaping up to be a fairly decent line and we’re only in the first wave!

Great review! $80 is a decent price but they should have pushed it to $99 and given us some better plastic. It drives me crazy when they engineer all these features but they don’t work due to poor materials.

I didn't even know they did a playset for the 2012 series

Putting the ooze in the ball might also help woth knocking over the villans, kinda like a wieght.

Love the figures esp the villains

I am curious to know if anyone has replaced the cardboard backdrop with a custom backdrop or build.

Ooze in the ball might just be for weight so it rolls and bowls better

We all agree about the backdrop … this set could be used for other figure lines too but it’s so specific to tmnt it’s maybe not as appealing to all buyers..THAT SAID! The set is maybe better than the original in many ways. AMAZINGLY COOL! I want it!…maybe someone will custom make a new backdrop!

Does the slime give the ball more weight? Probably better to knock down figures.

I think you’re right

I’m always leery of what’s happening with the plastics in 80% of modern toys, from mass produced stuff like this set to toys from Dollar Tree’s action figures, quality of plastic seems all over the place. I don’t know if it’s EPA standards, cost cutting for more profit, or just lack of longevity of product life since most companies know that many of these toys are destined for adult collectors that just assemble and display them and rarely touch them again. I’ve collected some off brand or rack toy items that are made from plastic so durable it would make an N64 gasp. Specifically what comes to mind is a Robo Dino line from Dollar General that is made like 80s level quality.

Thanks a lot... Great video, but I´m not convinced with this playset!!!!
