I happen to own a set of bootleg Mirage Turtles, and I gotta say they’re really great! The joints are nice and tight, but not overly tight. The paint is a little sloppier, but it’s not too bad. They also have the colored headbands as an option! One thing to note is that newer versions of them have a darker green and paler brown compared to the official figures and earlier releases of the bootlegs. Regardless, I’m really satisfied! Also, NECA is going to be releasing an updated set of Mirage Turtles based on how they appeared later on in the Mirage comics, so if you want official Mirage Turtles, then you can get those.

I do not have a favourite set, as I am not a TMNT figure collector. However, I am impressed with those cartoon based figures by NECA. Both the body proportions and the head sculpt look just like I remember the turtles looking like in the cartoon. They look so much more like the cartoon turtles than the original "vintage" figures, as you called them, that any boy would have been a target of envy if he had had them in the early 90's. On the other hand, those movie version figures by NECA are just as accurately sculpted. I am impressed by how well the manufacturer has managed to capture their look from the movies. So, depending whether a collector is a comic, cartoon or movie enthusiast, I would say the NECA figures are his/her best choice.

You really can’t go wrong with any of the ones you mentioned. NECA nails the likeness of each version so well.

as a kid in the late 80s and early 90s, I always wanted "the originals", the ones that looked like they do in the cartoon. Sure, you could get turtle toys where you can open the shell on the back and it would have weapons inside. But those had no interest to me. I wanted them, how they looked in the cartoon and I had lots of them. it's funny, me being 40 years old now and looking back on this stuff, it was very fun. I'm even tempted to go see if I still have any toys left, I think I gave my cousin everything when I got too old to play with them. Same with my transformers. I'm a bit sad about that now.

NECA has been doing a great job with their TMNT, definitely!

There's actually more than a few differences between the initial SDCC/GameStop release and the last set they released. The molds became a little softer with those; so you're not seeing quite the level of detailing compared to the others. It's really noticeable with the plastron (the belly area). One great thing about that last set is how much better the eyes are. There's a very realistic gloss to them that the previous ones lack. So pros and cons of each. Oh yeah, Donnie's bandana is a lighter/more pinkish colour. I've gone through so many copies of each release (plus saving images), and there's even more specific differences. The same goes for other NECA releases. In some cases, they legitimately change the sculpt slightly. The original Leatherhead had a different hair sculpt than the later ones. They were supposed to be the exact same (like not marketed to be different), but weird things happen.

As far as which are best: Objectively, I think the '12 Turtles are when it comes to posability. Well, _duh!_ on that one. Aesthetics wise, I say the '90 movie ones. I know so many collectors say these are the best Turtles ever; but my personal favorites are the NECA cartoon Turtles. The show versions, not the promotional colour scheme. For that, I have the Figuarts ones. They're more accurate to that source than the NECA ones. But like you, I was never over the moon with those. They were certainly the greatest versions at the time for me, but not perfect. Certainly beating out my Playmates Classics versions by light-years. I really didn't like the lower parts of the legs being diecast. And yeah, I despise everything about the Michael Bay Turtles.

The SHF figures have a lot of strong support from some of the comments, admittedly if I see them for a good price I’ll probably pull the trigger. I just don’t NEED them at this point, especially since there are so many figures I prefer. NECA movie TMNT has a LOT of well-earned praise. I can’t say enough about how much I like them (along with the figures of the supporting cast), I have found that a lot of my friends love them because of how photogenic they are for figure photography, ACBA, stop motion, etc. People have made some truly amazing stuff with them. Those Revoltech ones are just so much fun. I completely forgot to mention the Batman vs TMNT figures, which I think LOOK really cool design-wise, but I don’t actually have the figures to compare. Thanks again for all the feedback, and for the praise on my presentation.

my favorites tmnt action figures are: 3:31 neca tmnt comic book 2:08 playmates tmnt 80s figures 5:11 neca tmnt 80s figures 8:26 neca 90s tmnt movie 6:50 s.h figuarts tmnt 7:39 playmates classic tmnt figures 10:57 TMNT 2003 FIGURES 14:29 TMNT REVOLTECH 2012 FIGURES they are my favorities

Dude awesome video it was fun to revisit my childhood with lots of these. I especially remember the original Playmates line and the movie star line. That last set you showed based off of the Nickelodeon cartoon in insane I might have to buy those and start my own little collection. Cowabungaaa!

Damn I been waiting 35 years for someone to make this video

I really love those comic book style TMNT figures. I don’t have the NECAs, but I recently purchased the cheaper playmates box set that includes an original style Splinter and Shredder. Now I just wish they’d do a wave in the style as seen on the covers of the trade paperbacks.

Those slightly more polished comic versions would be great to see. NECA nailed the first issue look for sure, but I’d love seeing versions from when the art style got more locked into what we see today from Eastman and Laird. If I’m not mistaken, I heard somewhere that NECA may re-release their comic turtles. I’d suggest buying them if that happens, they really are great figures.

Bandai Tamashii Nations S.H. Figuarts TMNT Diecast core figures are the best.

I had the Raphael and Michelangelo of the 2007 movie line. I had so much fun with those as a kid. I had those and when I finally got a copy of the 1990 movie I never stopped watching it. I’m getting the Neca ones now to always remember that part of my childhood

I really do hope that the 2003 show gets some love soon, I would love a modern adult collectors version of those designs; I personally don’t think it’s necessary to keep making versions of the 80s, lol I think we’re good now

Captain McKay Random true stuff man for example power rangers(which I love) they keep going nostalgic with the original series but, there are other seasons to honor as well.

I think that when San Diego Comic con 2021 Comes around Playmates should re-release the 2003 turtles to celebrate the show’s 18th anniversary. Maybe also they could hint a possible show or movie which features them in it.

I'd have loved to include all of those, but sadly I don't have all the different versions from over the years. Glad you enjoyed!

“I have always liked.... Cowabunga.” This was great, Cap. You really do go into great detail about each line and your own history with them. I really love how many toy lines have had a crack at the shell of this amazing franchise. I wished the 2007 film had some better figures made. I dug the movie but totally understand why it’s forgotten. The Bay movies and their figures... the less said the better. NECA, like you said, really are the Kong’s of the Sewers right now when it comes to Turtle figures. There movie figures are spot on, the Cartoon based figures have all been great, and the video game based turtles are absolutely radical looking. I wish Revoltech got to make more figures based on the 2012 show. They raised shell and even though I’ve never seen them in person, seeing your pics and videos on them makes me want to get the cheap bootlegs on eBay. Just to wife their greatness like Miley opening a box of fresh Dominos. Speaking of bootlegs, I have a set of the NECA Comic figures (cartoon color headbands so you know they’re bootlegs) and they’re not bad at all. They feel slightly off from a real NECA figure but I dig them. Paint looks great on all of them and their joints and articulation feels like the real deal. I agree with everyone who’s said it already. Make more of these if you can. Get a Patreon, damn it!

Really enjoyed this video. I have some of the Turtles that you mentioned and I’m thinking about getting the Revoltech figures to get a good representation of the 2012 Turtles. Also, I noticed the X-Men and WWE figures behind you. Looking forward to seeing some videos about them as WWE, X-Men, and Turtles are the main 3 lines that I collect.

@Chayce Gayle They'll be worth it for me. I have a lot of nostalgia for those designs. Plus I've dropped a ton of cash on TMNT figures, the Revoltech ones cost me a fortune and I just got the SDCC 2017 Collector's Case for a pretty hefty price as well.

i wish they'd made versions of the comic turtles how they were drawn in the later comics where they wasn't as lanky and more thicker and muscular.

I love the vintage stuff and just started collecting again. Totally worth it. Enjoy sir. great videos by the way!

For me I loved the playmates TMNT toys that were released when the 2012 TMNT cartoon was on

You can get some of the SH Figuarts TMNT gigs on a website called Heromic.com though you have to import from Sweden.

The original 10 backs in card are the best!

Nostalgia is a very powerful drug. Good work my friend. Edit: I remember on Saturday mornings play the TMNT Nintendo game, eating my TMNT cereal in my TMNT bowl wearing my TMNT pj's. Marketing was efficient for certain.

It was EVERYWHERE. As an adult now who gets annoyed by seeing brands all over the place, I can’t imagine what people my age in 1990 must have thought seeing turtles on every possible thing.

My favorites are the Neca Mirage and 1990 Movie Figures. I also love the Basic Turtles from Playmates and the ones with Storage-Shells. I'm so glad to have bought the Neca Mirage Donatello on a trip to London. It's showcased right next to the 1990 Movie Donatello on top of one of my DVD/Blu-ray Collection showcases.

Very nice! I had a soft spot for the Storage Shell versions as a kid, they were such cool sculpts.

My favorites were always the 92 Mutations. They combined the transformation aspect I loved about the Transformers and I just liked the bulky look of the Turtles when transformed Also I gotta add, I always liked how Donnie was often portrayed as either darker or outright brown in some of the toylines, never really understood why but I liked the decision nevertheless

Jim Lee by playmates in 1995 is so underrated. Wished Leonardo came out

I like them quite a bit. Since this video came out, I’ve reviewed each of the main four turtles on my channel if you’re interested in a closer look and how they compare to the other turtles out there. Thanks for watching!

I actually have to agree with you here, I don’t have a favorite Ninja Turtles figure other then the REVOLTECH Figures, but that’s just because I’m nostalgic toward it, I personally think all of them are “pretty decent”. The 80s Turtles figures made by NECA are Amazing, “The 1990 Movie Turtles” Also made by “NECA” Are the best movie figures because they are movie accurate, The 2003 Turtles have a bit of charm going on through a 2000s lens, The 2007 “Movie” figures are actually pretty good, and the 2012 figures made by REVOLTECH Are So Awesome, but other then that I don’t have a favorite ninja turtles figure, they’re all the best figures for their respective series.
