The lack of paint detail on these make them look like Happy Meal toys.

Wow, these almost look like bootlegs that's how bad these look... I think one of the only good things about these figures is that the packaging looks pretty sweet.

Yeah this disappointing! I had very high hopes for these figures! Now I can only hope that Baxter-Fly, Karai, Rockwell the Mokey, Napoleon Bonafrog and Muckman are way better than this!

What a disappointment. The very first figures Playmates released were fantastic, probably among my favorite TMNT figures. And these costumes were great in the series... way to ruin them with such a noticeable lack of paint.

Dan, I think you were too nice on this figures lack of paint detail. They are practically blank.

agreed, even as a kid I would have had a problem with these blank figures.Way too lenient in my opinion.Granted, these are for kids but they know damn well the adults who grew up with the TMNT, like myself, will collect them, like I said even as a kid I would have hated the lack of paint. I'm passing on these and hopefully they will rerelease them painted fully or at least the major parts..............

Playmates really lost their marbles

Dan, if you're going to Toy Fair this month you gotta ask Playmates about all the lack of paint.

Playmates is really dropping the ball. I have almost the whole collection of these tmnt figures and it seems like the newer tmnt figures of this line keep gettn worse in terms of paint, hollow feet and now gummy weapons. Come on Playmates, we deserve better considering that there are adults collecting these too.

for real the first line of 2012 tmnt in my opinion has the best turtles design and paint and quality too!

As much as I love Playmates (Since i was extremely young, 24+ years ago) it's sad to see them become even cheaper than they were, with paints. They may as well have sold these completely blank, since they aren't far off from that state.

They also need to STOP using their prototype photos on the cardbacks. It's false advertising to the max. I truly believe Nickelodeon is the blame, when it comes to skimping on money. Mainly because SOME of the Nicktoon TMNT figures these days are downright worse than anything we got way back in the day, when Playmates still skimped on paints.

i have to get this out of my chest... i am really tired of getting cheap figures of the TMNT, i was ok with some paint missing, but now we got hollow feet????? I understand that these are toys for kids, but we deserve more respect from Playmates, did you ever try to ask them why they don't do better paint jobs on their figures... i keep wondering why would we get if this license belongs to another toy maker such as hasbro or even Neca....

Dorian McCloud too late. Already got em and painted them and started selling them

i rather make customs instead of buying these

When I saw this episode I thought to myself when these figures come out I am going to buy all of them because the turtles looked awesome but after seeing these awful cop outs I'm gonna have to pass. It's a real shame cause the show has a lot of great designs but playmates always decides to cut corners to save on cost and in the end the final product suffers. This is the same disappointment I felt with the rahzar figure and its severe lack of articulation honestly what were they thinking when they just decided to keep his hand in that awful pose?! At this point I really wished playmates would loose the license and it goes to a company the believes in it enough to give the life long fans the quality they deserve

the lack of any paint detailing KILLS these. They are SO cool otherwise. What a shame. They could be something really special. I hope they fix this with future stock.

Complete garbage....Playmates has hit a new low.

@ 5:30 Ladies and gentlemen, Donatello in his cosplay of Skeletor!

I used to have Donatello with the skull mask

The teeth and eyes are literally the only thing I see painted

dude the new packeging looks sick.I saw these guys in the show. sweet pixel dan.

hi everyone. im just getting this figs now in 2023(loose but complete) i want to apply paint on these and would like to ask if acrylics will be good?

Thanks to this video I just realized that the Donatello I just opened is completely missing the axe accessory.

the only turtle i got is mystic donnie and it sucked that they painted him purple and all green but i'm glad that i was glad to get the figure

I might get it for Christmas and one of my wishes for you is to reach 1 million subscribers

I loved this episode, the reference to the 2008 Animated Film, ahh so good.

Anyone came back in 2020 to hear that awesome intro

so much lack of painting...I'll buy all 4 and paint them, with some extra paint this will be badass

Leo and Ralph look like assassins from assassins creed

The lack of paint is killing me with these figures. Great review!

i thought about that a few days ago i thought what if they make the the toy turtles from the episode vision quest and there they are

i havent seen the episode where they appeared in this costume but is donny suppose to resemble skeletor? because he does!

Am I only who wants neca to tackle This series of turtles and give us THOSE suits?

Great review Dan. I was expecting you to hit on the paint apps and the fact any color is done with molded plastic. The lack of wrist articulation, messy paint and Raphs weapons being gummy was news to me though. I buy these for my 5 year old and these are so full of shortcuts if we get them they may need repainted. Thanks.

I really hope the Dr Rockwell (Monkey Brains) has a good paint job and decent articulation, because he's a really basic figure and shouldn't be hard to make. If they mess up Rockwell, i'm going to lose the little faith i have left, in Playmates.

Donatello looks like Skeletor in a way.

Dear pixel-dan I just realized that leonardo's bow and arrow in a real photo the arrow shouldn't be attached to the bow

Pixel Dan, I have an idea for you. In the episode of "vision quest" splinter had a blue color of his spirit.Spray Paint a splinter blue

I might get the Leo. Wrist swivels are a big welcome.

Ran into 3 Mystic Mikes today and all of them had paint flaws on his head!

i would've accepted these figures if they were painted like on the packaging. If you want a more accurate version of the TMNT toys maybe you can get the Revoltech version. Best version, by far.

I'm scared to see what Karai, and Stockman-fly look like if they're putting out junk like this.

These are so bad that even my 4 year old, Turtles obsessed boy walked out before the 2nd Turtle was reviewed. Seriously, whoever Ok'd these figures to go into production needs to be fired. The sculpts aren't even good enough to bother custom painting the details on yourself. I really hope this isn't a sign of things to come from Playmates because the Battleshell Turtles are my favorite Turtles toy line to date. Sort it out guys ! I can see these on sale at the local pound shop just to get rid of them, and even then I still wouldn't want them uglying up my collection

So SICK of the laziness and shortcuts playmates takes on this line!!! Why do you hey still have the license?

Donatello looks like an axe murderer or something from the movie 'scream'

It is a damned shame they did not paint these guys - kind of a slap in the face of fans.

it seems that with a little more paint apps and articulation TMNT figures would be more of a home run,but the cost would go up. so i suppose ppl would have to decide what is more important,it's kinda 50/50.

Mystic Turtles? Damn I am way behind, Nick needs to stick to a time and stay with it that being said, these figures look bad. Especially Ralph. His arms look horrible due to the fact that his arms should be armor pieces but at a glance, it looks like his arms are deformed. These figures need paint, and shading wouldn't hurt. Especially on Leo, his cape could definitely use some shading

We got these turtles for valentine's day and both donny and Leo's left arms broke off at the elbow in less then a minute of opening them!! Couldn't believe it! We have every single 2012 turtles and the other characters and non of them have broke like that! Besides the lack of paint that bummed me out the most. And out of these ones donny and leo look the coolest if ya ask me.

I think the wrist swivels on leonardo is because of the bow and arrow

That lack of pain decco is appalling and inexcusable.

wenz karai coming out guys i wanna know she is my fav character

I don't understand why they released them so uncompleted? I mean the molds look great but for the crazy price they are asking for each one of these WHY? They look like dollar store versions.

Wow. As paint problems go, these are just about the worst toys I've ever seen with that issue. These are almost blank! If it wasn't for their signature bandanna colors being incorporated, they'd have been blank.

I am very happy that we got these. The episode was great especially the nod to the first movie when Splinter came in spirit form over the fire. The painting especially on the legs and wrists is annoying but I'll pick them up anyway.

"Monkey Brains" sure looks like Donkey Kong from Donkey Kong Country,huh??

I think from the show these were shown in season 3

I’ve been watching since tnts

Spend a little less on the awesome package Playmates, and a little more work on the actual figure inside please. Man, this is a total bummer dude. I was really excited for these figures to come out! Now though...I think I don't want them as much as I did before. I'll stick with customizing my own figures to look like the Vision Quest Turtles.

Cool

Got to love the turtles

Thanks Playmates. Thanks for taking an awesome concept and absolutely RUINING it! Playmates seriously needs to loose the TMNT license because they keep on making garbage. I really wish Neca got the license to making TMNT figures because they would've done them justice. I hope Kaiyodo makes Revoltech versions of this design so I can import them.

Hello

I love it but your right the paint is a shame but the style is really cool and it would've been cool if they had their spirit flag that they had in the cartoon

Playmates seems to be getting worse when it comes to taking shortcuts. You'd think they would get it right with a property such as the Turtles which is likely to be their biggest licence. From the lack of paint apps to their awful scaling issues, Playmates is butchering this line. I mean, seriously, why are characters such as Slash shorter than the turtles? Ugh!

Most of the most of the Mystic Turtles figures gear were supposed to be painted a grey-white including their belts, elbow and knee pads, wrist wrappings, feet wrappings, and hand wrappings just like they did to the hooded cape of the Leonardo figure, the hood of the Raphael figure, and the belt and wrist bands of the Michelangelo figure, including Michelangelo's durag mask just like their gear were a grey-white of the episode "Vision Quest" of season 3 of the 2012/current TV series that was first aired on January 18 of 2015. But I like Michelangelo's durage mask orange instead of a grey-white. I wish they had also did the same to Michelangelo's durag mask of the episode "Vision Quest" of season 3 of the 2012/current TV series too!

Yo tengo a mistic donatello

I wish the regular Mikey figure came with the kama blades itd be better than just raph's shuriken painted orange even though mikey already comes with his own pair

pixle dan i love your action figuer leonardo is my best figuer

I dont know how much they cost in USA, but here, in Spain are a little expensive. This bad quality is unacceptable.

it think that's supposed to be a bundle of rope. with donnie i mean.

they look better on the back of the box and what is pixel babys real name

i was at my local target and i saw a tmnt figure with a bow peeking out and i thought it was classic splinter but when i got it down it was MYSTIC LEO... but i didn't buy it

Maybe I'll but them all, but only if they hit my country's shelves. I don't want to pay much on E-bay for these. I like Mikey's sculpt :)

I do wish they used the original color!

My favorite is leo

Cool video

I know some figures that are going to get some repaints ....... lmao the wood is neon green........

I really hope Dr Rockwell (Monkey Brains) has a good paint and articulation because he's a really basic figure. If they mess Rockwell up, I'm going to lose the little faith i have in Playmates.

Bummer with the paints but still these are cool version of the Turtles and am almost sure we will be seeing some customs from folks who will be repaint these.

I'd rather people not buy them so Playmates learns to paint them themselves.Seriously each wave gets worse and worse.......

Now we know what would happen if we mix TMNT & Assassian's Creed. LOL I love the look of Leo, Donny, & Raph. Its almost a sin about the lack of paint/detail on this line comparared to others.

These look pretty great! The paint deco (or lack thereof) has got to be pretty disappointing for TMNT fans. Random question: Has Usagi Yojimbo made an appearance in this series yet? He was always one of my favorites.

These are nice i like Leonardo though

Love my revoltech turtles to bad they kind of don't fit with this line

Which is your favorite mystic turtle mine is mystic mikey and Raph.

I like the packaging

I just hate it when this line has the figures painted in the picture on the back but there to lazy to paint the figure itself

I knew they were gonna release these guys sooner or later, but already? Do you want our wallets while they are still warm or something, Playmates? But anyway, I don't usually get the dressed up turtle figures, but since these were from the cartoon (and they just look fricken *AWESOME*) I want these Ninja Turtles... But the lack of paint details on important places almost makes me reconsider. Almost...

I wanna see Donnie's face

They need too take the license away from Playmates. This is just down rite wrong. Each wave keeps getting worse and worse. The lack of detail and paint is just pathetic. It just shows you that Playmates shows no passion towards the Turtles other than too make a quick buck.

Thanks for this video. I was excited for these but after seeing the lack of paint I'm going to skip them. Disappointing.

It has word on the back of its shell.... really Playmates

The only way to describe these are "Bad and Easy"

Nick tourtles have some interesting figures, but all the variants seen to date worth less than a penny.

can this is my mind blown mystic turtles realy is there such old ones let me now💀

By the way PixelDan, I thumbed down the video because of the quality of these figures and not your review. Your review is on point again, nice work as usual. I really hope people pass on these to show Playmates that they need to up their game a little, at least some paint on the hand and feet wraps would have helped these out in a major way, but they look so unfinished that it is kind of insulting.

I love. Leo

Just got raph

Hi

Looks like there getting lazy with the paint work

the donnie gives me nightmares
