I have the original Turtles. They were some of my first toys after losing all my other toys in a horrible flood. I lived in a motel for awhile, and these were what kept me occupied.

I'm extremely glad you survived the flood, and I truly hope others did as well. But I am deeply sorry for the toys you lost, forever enjoy those turtles. 💙

Pixel dan is reviewing playmates turtles again, “the return of the king”
The color change is not a bad thing, because those colors were the ones they always meant the turtles to be. Raphael's skin color is the exact same he has in Turtles in Time, and every version where each turtle features a different green in the 80's-90's versions.
I think the best versions of these TMNT figures are the reissues of the late 90's. Those are still good quality and feel the same to the originals and have similar colors of the original. But they don't tend to get sticky or have body parts that start turning white like the original releases.

So that’s why my original Donatello is sticky? I thought the slime from the Flush-O-Matic torture machine I have messed him up.
Raph almost looks sun faded compared to the original figure.

I was just about to say that about all the figures...like the vintage figures had been positioned with the sun coming right in through the window of a dingy drug store.

Turtles Review! Always a pleasure hearing you talk about turtles
I'd really love for one of them to make a vintage style based more on the cartoon. The cartoon series colors, the black in the eyes. But the same articulation, poses, and size as the classics. Ad maybe the same weapons but in a more "logical" color. (Brown staff, silver katanas, etc) Vintage vibes with a twist.
Just ordered these as I am meeting the voice actors in Columbus in a few weeks to sign. Wish I had my original ones. Great memories.
Can’t wait for your 2020 collection tour!
The matte color of the shells makes it easy to see the details.
I actually kind of like the matte finish and muted colors for their shells... The skin colors are a little bit of a different story, especially Raph
Can’t believe how much people are selling these for , you might as well hunt down the Original 90s era turtles

Yeah, spot on with your comment, Mata. I hunted down the originals, eventho they had some paint chipping its good to know its the original ones.
So glad that you are talking about the Turtles again, it’s the main reason I subscribed to you
Awesome comparison video, thanks Dan! 🤘😎
Very nice comparison video, Dan! It honestly just makes me want to go back and get more of the originals, but for a newbie or someone who wouldn't tell, the new ones are still pretty cool
I like the different finishes 🤔 man these are some iconic toys 😍🤘
I thought about doing a video on same topic but you did a perfect job of comparing them. I have all hard heads for my vintage set though so I might still do the video. Great comparison!
Good to see you,Dan. Keep it up.
Awesome review! Hopefully you will do the Kenner ghostbusters reissue as well.... There's another different on Leonardo where he got peg holes on both feet, I think I know why... I believe this were molded for the SDCC 2015 History of Leonardo where both his feet were screwed on his base.. So I believe they used the same molding for this 2019 exclusive....
Happy to see you upload again dan
My wife got this for me on my birthday a few months back, I was so stoked. I lost my original ones way back as a kid. I honestly love these original looking turtles with the packaging.
I seen a photo of this thinking it was another alibaba bootleg. Cheers for getting them to all stand up at once!
Great job like always Dan!🤘 I really like my gamestop TMNT's especially Donnie and Leo are awesome. Thanks for being the best at what you do, brother!👍😉
Great video. I bought the version that is black & white like the original comics a couple months ago. Love it. Thanks for the info.
Wow, the colors being really off on these reissues are kinda off putting for me. I guess I should look for other reissues of those figures that aren’t weirdly colored. Nice review still 😁👍.
I love the mat finish on the shell.
It seems like the last couple of Raph reissues have and that almost ghostly color scheme. I've got a sealed set of the 25th anniversary ones, and they look much better overall.
Raphael looks...sickly 😄
I must confess that I am happy that you still have your original turtles in mint condition. I lost Micky and Leo at school when i was a little kid (somebody stole them from my backpack when we were outside at lunch time) I miss them LOL (nowadays I acquired the new version of Micky but as I see it is not the same thing with the matte colors they gave them, and some defects in the head molds). PS: I also lost a Toy Island Robocop action figure at school when I was 7, but this time it's different: I bought an original boxed one (it wasn't opened yet) from ebay some months ago for 25 bucks and... I am a happy 37 years old child with an boxed original, in working condition, WITH BATTERIES INCLUDED FROM 20+ years ago LOL.🤣
My only complaint with these figures is that Raph looks pretty faded compared to the original figure.
love the videos pixel dan, keep it up
Another great video! One other thing to note is the peg holes in the feet. The new ones are huge.
Didn't the original Donatello come with two bo staffs?

Awesome Ive actually wondered about this
Nice video Dan and yeah i did notice that about Raph as well. i use to have all 4 soft head Turtles when i was a kid but lost them in a move. So i am trying to rebuild my TMNT collection.
I love the background music...but I was getting nervous that I wouldn’t unarm all of the underwater bombs in time!
This is so retro and so good
This set made me want to collect the vintage.
Thanks, this sold me. I will be sticking with the originals. Just passed some doubles down to my son.
WOW the 80s ninja turtles 🤩
Yay new tmnt video
I bought these for $30 just for the sake of having an extra set of turtles. I have no regrets. I just have the late 00s early 10s reissues along with the vintage and a soft head Donatello I had to replace the broken belt with a gimmick one.
In Sweden, the whole Game Stop franchise is going out of business. To bad they didn't had these figures up for grabs.
Looks like the foot pegs are different and the back of Raph's belt looks different as well.
Love when you Review TMNT figures. 😁😁
I love those retro turtles figures
The 1988 versions of these figures are the best in my opinion. It's what a lot of us grew up on.
Being able to see this behind the scenes as a Patreon supporter was an amazing experience. If you aren't supporting Pixel Dan on Patreon then you're missing out on amazing stuff! He gives MASSIVELY to his supporters.
That is so cool pizza power 🐢
got mine months ago & I left mine sealed.As with the wal mart exclusive turtles as well.. My toy collection is so huge in 3 rooms.
Oh man these are sold out on gamestop! They're going for in the 100s now lol. Nice review. Memories. But I never could understand why Donny was more brown, aren't turtles green? Aren't all these specific 4 TMNT supposed to be greenish ? Still, a nice throw back.

Yeah, I wish Dan posted this review while we could still get them for retail price. lol
Awesome video Pixel Dan! I definitely prefer the retro figures, mainly due to the milky skin on the re-releases.
This seems like a quick, easy, and cheaper alternative for just wanting to have Turtles again which is great. Unless you are a diehard collector and want the original line, there were about two different re-released in between the first line and this set I believe. The second release has darker glossier boxes unlike the cartoon looking one of the original and then it was Target with the 20th anniversary release that reused the old box I believe. And those are still in the price of about $20 or so oer figure on card I think so overall if you don't really care for the vintage line or you have someone new to Turtles I think this is a good alternative. Thanks for the review Dan!
The ones from the 80s were tanks. I had several sets of the boys and they went to hell and back but never broke. Unfortunately over the years i lost them but I'd bet any amount of money that they're still going strong
the color and material differencesin the figures are prolly like you said for the weapons. repros and counterfeits are becoming more prevalent, which means bad actors aren't far behind.
Hi thanks for the comparison video. What stands will work with the new 4 pack?
Raph is wearing sage green Air Force uniforms in protest of the new OCPs
I have been waiting for you to do this video I have the 2019 figures and they are awesome 🐢🐢🐢🐢🍕🍕🍕🍕
Great video, Dan. So, with the new plastic, does it feel cheap? That's been my issue with a lot of reissues, most notably the recent re-release of the original Hot Rod from Hasbro, which I ended up returning.
Just got me two sets of the New Kenner Ghostbusters Classic re-release figures. Wouldn't mind getting my hands on these retro Turtles figures!!
That was an awesome video
I wish they would re-release that line again
I have honestly never much cared for how bright and shiny the vintsge figures looked so I'm much happier with the matte finish and skin tone different
Great comparison video Dan! 👑🥇🏆 Greets from Serbia! Cheers! 🍻🇷🇸🥂🇷🇸🍷🇷🇸🍸
Are these constructed internally the same way the vintage figures are, with the rods holding the limbs in place that can get stiff over time and break?
Reminds me of SNES Pastel color pallet VS SegaGen's dark and vibrant color pallet. Also reminds of Argentina Jocsa figures. I like variants, bought this TMNT pack last week.
The packaging is a big part of the charm for me, so I prefer the single figure reissues from several years back compared to this. Granted, the packaging from those isn't even close to the originals, but they're much closer than this box.
Does anyone know how these figures compare to the ones in the 2020 Retro 6 piece set in the 'Party Wagon' box?
PLEASE! make comeback the Flashback Fridays.
Lol Raphael looks like he was left out in the sun
Thanks for all the details! We saw these in GameStop back in the wintertime, and Raph just looked so off... I couldn't spend the money on them. Maybe it's cause we are die-hard vintage TMNT fans, used to seeing the original toy, but they all look terrible when you put then side by side. I agree it's probably due to advances in plastic production in the last 30 years. Leo looks the best out of all of them.
I like that they're not so shiny. Raph looks really pale though. Sickly even.
Are you getting the MOTU Origins Lord’s of power five pack?
There were also reissues circa 2000-1. I think they were available at Big Lots and KayBee.
Saludos desde México, me ancanta pixel dan encantaría poder escucharlo en español latino.
Raph looks 'minty'....and Donatello is brown. Not green.
Wish they would release an accessory pack so we could out fit our originals with the lost belts and weapons cause we played with them
I wonder if changes in plastic are because they use cheaper plastic now. You said they felt lighter which makes me wonder if they're now using lower quality plastic.
I love the vintage turtle figures, but the only thing I would change would be to make them all the same color green
This been out for awhile
I have all 4 original turtles in their packages two unpunched. I'm having a hard time getting a value on them. One person responded 200-250 but never clarified if that's individual or for all. I also have the sales receipt for them. I got them from my dad who was smart enough to buy those as extras when I was young. Thanks
I just bought these guys because I remember I had them when i was a kid, I didn’t know about the color differences lol
It looked like the peg holes on the feet may be different but was hard to tell. Can Dan or anyone confirm?
The Classic Ghostbusters figures just released have rubbery limbs, too. What the heck?
I had no idea this was even a thing.
Oh crap, I wish I bought these while they were still available.
I feel like the best reasons to get this particular set are: 1. You have kids and want them to enjoy TMNT without having to let them bust up your vintage figures - 2.The vintage figure weapons are hard to find on places like eBay and VERY expensive. This might be a good option to re-arm and re-belt your vintage figures for display. It's certainly cheaper than trying to chase down all of the vintage weapons / belts individually.

They look the same and I should get this toy line. 😀👍🐢
I forgot about the weapon tree.... probably because I always threw that out when I bought the figures. Actually I think all my friends did too
Hey Dan. Way to go Cowabunga
Donatello has a bad stance? What?! Come on Dan...don't be hatin' on my boy Donny....LOL...Just kidding..LOL
These guys look familiar.
I'd thought about picking these up because it's a nice set, but the faded colours really put me off... It looks like they've been sitting in a window for a few years... :/
Surprised you didn’t mention Don’s straps and holster being different
Hey dude! Great video! Can you help me? I found a michaelangelo figure in a flea market for one buck ... And I don't know if it's a reissue or it's the old one, because it's perfectly new ... How can I know? In the shell appears 1988 mirage studios playmates ... But his head is hard ... I think there was another edition a few years ago (not this collection of your video) that was like the original, even the packagin was like the original...So... Is original or reissue? Thanks!
I'd buy this for some replacement nunchucks
They re-release vintage TMNT multiple times over the past decade alone and no one bats an eye. But you re-release vintage Real Ghostbusters figures for the first time since their release 35 years ago and suddenly everyone loses their minds!
