Mezco did their thing. While their toon version set was divisive, their OG set is undeniably head and shoulders above most TMNT figs. Also,I've watched a lot of reviews of these guys. From big reviewers to small. But your review oozes(pun intended) personality! Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much. I'm working on a review for the toon set now, but I've been busier than usual lately so it's taking longer than I expected. I really appreciate you watching and for leaving your thoughts.

I should've pre-ordered this. Most often those underrated releases are the ones that are sought out in the after market.

Very true. The other problem is that Mezco stays radio silent, so there is no telling on if they'll ever rerelease this set or other highly sought after figures. They did put Popeye back out for those who missed it the first go round, so there may be hope for this set too. I personally think we're in store for a Mezco Red Bandana Turtle set the before the year's end and possibly a black and white comic inspired version. Thank you for your thoughts and for watching!

One of the best reviews I've seen for these guys. Great job! Unfortunate, my order through ToyStlkr didn't come through

I really appreciate that! very sorry to hear your order wasn’t fulfilled. Did they cancel it? I hope Mezco makes another run on these guys so you can add them to your collection.

@alanthecollector I reached out to ToyStlkr and, based on what they told me, didn't receive their shipment from Mezco. I'm not 100% sure.

@@lonelion8341 That's very annoying. I've never ordered from them but from what I understand they are a credible online retailer. It's odd that they would suddenly just not receive a shipment of one of the most hotly anticipated releases of the year. Even If Mezco doesn't release this set again, I have a sneaking suspicion that we will get another variant set inspired by the mirage comics featuring the all four turtles with red bandanas.

@@alanthecollector As do I. And, although it would be cool, I'd still like the set you reviewed. Again, great job!

So many mixed emotions with this set xD annoyed I missed out; relieved I don't have to deal with that box and buyer's remorse; green with envy seeing reviews of it; sigh of relief not having to figure out which accessories to use and which to leave in the box 😂 Saying all that, apparently in the UK, I have heard there was an error with the figures where two of the four were a duplicate. I heard this from the local area Mezco / NECA rep whole he visited my local indie toy shop. I don't know how true that is bc he was saying suppliers/Mezco were asking for the WHOLE order to be returned as opposed to a more targeted solution. So yeah... def mixed emotions. But I still LOVE the look of it. If they ever do a red masks variant... I'm gonna have a tough decision to make. (But let's be honest, if I have the £400 and it's in-stock it's getting bought lol) Not able to watch the video right now, Al, but I will tomorrow morning or afternoon 👌

Thanks for the reply and for being a dedicated viewer all the way from the UK. That means a lot. This set was expensive and can be a bit overwhelming at times, but I have no regrets. Sorry to hear that you missed out, but I have a strong suspicion that in addition to the cartoon style guide variant they just released we will get to more variations of this set.: A Mirage Comics inspired Red Bandana set for New York Comic-Con and a Black and White Red Bandana boxset exclusive to their website Jan 12, 2025 for Mezco One:12 Day. Let me know what you think of my review. I hope you enjoy it. I'll be reviewing the cartoon variant next week!
