I still wish they went with Raph's old shade of green, instead of the pale green shade they've been using on his vintage rereleases.

I agree with all the criticism but still think they're worth picking up. Flawed but worth the asking price. At $13, you're getting your money's worth. Hasbro would be charging you $24.99 and telling you it's a "Deluxe" figure because of all the accessories.

Correct. Current Playmates cranks out official bootlegs!

Never in the history of my collecting experience have I went from so hyped FOMO to completely not giving a shit. The texture killed these

I think kthey should've gave then the last ronin articulation with the double joints

That Raph's face looks half melted

For 13 bucks each these are a HOMERUN! No other company would give us this much for 13 bucks. Honestly I feel the issues are very nipicky. If this was a hasbro product these would be 25+. You mentioned origins several times and those go for 20 bucks. To me this is the best value of the year for very solid action figures

Whens like the official release date? Are they only in stores or will they be on walmart and target online?

I believe the technical term are "small stabby" and "pizza shaped stabby"

"I wish the 80's toys were more articulate and cheaper" "🐵🐾"

I think you're right. This maybe a "test" run. If this line does well, They'll probably rerelease these with some minor changes and hopefully swap Don and Leo's heads to make them more vintage toy accurate.

The cart shaking and wheel speed on the floor really added to the urgency! Thanks for the review!

The only thing that would make this better is if you reviewed them on site at Walmart

The only thing that bugs me is Donnies bo staff color lol

This absolutely feels like a one-off, as a mirror to the Target "first" Turtles. Wouldn't expect more.

playmates needed to get in on the renewed/rekindled love of Turtles. We wanted updated versions of the toys we grew up with, playmates clearly didn't hear anything because they kept re- re- re- releasing the same old thing every 5 years to capitalize on some sort of anniversary. So Super7 did something about it, and playmates didn't like that at all. Made Super7 quit and readjust their gameplan. And these are what playmates gave us.

Love ‘em and it’s all thanks to your review. Congrats on Flip-or making it to BBTS! 👏 👏 👏.

Are these available everywhere

Playmates can try again for 50th anniversary

The Ralph head is crooked

I'm still going to get these. But what's up with the Leo and Don head swaps?

I had really high hopes for these. Seen a couple reviews now and i have to admit, i am less likely to pick them up. I really dont know why they didnt go the origins route when it comes to articulation. That to me is the biggest let down. I was ok with the orange peel skin, and i love the colored weapons, and the display stands are a nice bonus. If they had more articulation i wouldve definitely been in, but i just dont see enough improvement to buy another set of playmates retro style. I think the ankle articularion killed it for me.

Raph looks like his eyes are not aligned correctly... they looks slanted over to the side when you look straight on.

Lets be real, for the price , ankle swivels are fine. if they are willing to do the origins style ankle joints then they should up it to 18-20$ now we'd be ok paying it but playmates is still a company that aims at kids, will they be willing to pivot more to collectors? who knows

@jarosbodytko6462

Well they obviously try with their Collector’s line from a few years back as well as the Last Ronin and Mirage Turtles to appeal to collectors. The problem is that the final product is still a cheap kid’s toy instead of a higher end figure aimed at adults. And that’s fine if you’re an adult who collects older toys and like modern stuff that reflects the simplicity of older toys. But for collectors who want a more serious product their bar is set way to low. Playmates always shows they have potential to be great, but they always manage to screw it up somehow. That’s why people go to Neca and Super7.

Im excited to see what splinter and shredder will look like.

I feel the same way, like they are almost perfect, playmates was so close, but dropped the ball, the colors, the leo and don heads, the color on Don's bo, and the articulation, I don't understand why they went with the Mutant Mayhem articulation instead of the Rise of the tmnt articulation, the Rise figures had so much better articulation, the feet were able to go up and down and they had a rocker kind of joint, man they were so close

Great review! They look alright 😅

Its seems for every hit theres a miss, yet the misses mount up more. Donnie is far too brown. Raphs bandana might actually twist in to posiwith a bit of heat.

I’m on the hunt for them! 4 Walmarts today. Nothing 😢

They would have been gret replacements for the Super7 figures. The texture and ankle joints are abysmal.

Man.. I remember when they did the 84 Mirage Turtles. I think those hit around 2014. Wanted those so badly, and when I finally got them in in hand, the lack of the wrist swivel just ruined the whole thing. I think these are less offensive, but it is sort of how I feel about those ankles. The issue is, it’s 2024 and we’re still seeing those 2014 molds, untouched! Think the B&W set just made its way out again.. So, I think with these, we get what we got and that’s going to be it. Can’t see them redoing the ankles. Which is a shame, bc they really are so close to being amazing, especially for the price.

People are buying them despite corners being cut and passion not being presented. So in the end Playmates wins and the line is already succeeding

They're SO CLOSE on this, I wish they would listen to fans, because everyone's saying the same things. This could be a hit line if they get it right.

Yeah I agree, if they gave joints/articulation similar to MOTU origins and ditch that weird texture I'd be all over these. I just want the OG figures with MOTU Origins style articulation. That's all they had to do. Hell, throw out the bases and leave the weapons unpainted. That just seems like unnecessary money that could have been spent making the figures better. I also hate the pinned joints, and those ankles are just awful.

I’d be all in for more but I would like them to release the turtles without the weird texture, better ankles, and the correct heads. They should release thomas a mass release instead of dumb exclusives etc.

I been championing for these for the longest, this was like a slap in the face lol swivel ankles. Ugh

Wow, those Walmart carts are the same everywhere you go.

Pizza Tossing TMNT had that texture. but also why not take a spin with what they did for the Stranger things 2 pack turtles. ? those have good articulation.

I wasn't excited until i saw them at the store. I'd like them to have the og skin but it doesn't bother me. Always a great review. I actually like to hear different opinions

I don’t ask for much and I haven’t been this excited for new Turtle toys in a while. The textures don’t bother me at all. Hoping to get some villains down the line. Especially Shredder. He could use more articulation.

Playmates have barely tried for years. I still watch reviews in hopes they improve, but it's been the opposite for years. Another pass.

These are Walmart exclusives and from what I can recall it'll just be the Turtles.

I really don’t understand the change in the skin. I get it’s supposed to be more reptilian but real red-eared sliders have pretty smooth looking skin as-is. Maybe playmates will eventually do another wave with a more normal texture?

The ankles, swapped faces, and texture are not my favorite. But I’m still grabbing them. I think the ankles bother me the most though. I kind of like the face swap on a way as I feel that Leo looks pretty bad ass. I also like the nose being a little larger for some reason. I’d love for them to continue these with other characters and maybe like you said a fixed set of these to better match the old texture.

"Sometimes the fans know best." 14:05 That's damn right! 💯

That $12.97 price tag sounds super appealing. May have to give these a shot.

I wonder if the ankles were to keep the feet stable and help them stand.

Looking at the old punk styled drawings from the old cards and on the boxes on these. I think they might try to hit a mix between the old classic figures and the punk style? The switched faces between Lego and Donnie fits packaging front art, but I dont know if thats old art reused?

It kinda okay but why not i should be getting mine tomorrow 🐢🐢🐢🐢 turtles power

An easy pass. The Early Sketch turtles, however.... Those I'm on the hunt for.

Playmates been had articulated Turtles. You can find the single ones at Ross. I got the 2 packs with the turtles and villains last year at Burlington.

Yeah, the ankles are what bothered me about the Mutant Mayhem ones. The rocker ankles on MOTU Origins are perfect, I wish Playmates had done the same. As for the other details, I'm not that bothered, but I'll see how I feel when I get them in hand. Great review!

I'm Getting Mikey! No Questions Asked. And I'll bet you in 2 weeks we will see someone making Leo-Don Headswap custom heads.

One minor thing I wish they had were orange weapon handles, like the mutant mayhem figures which were referencing the original figures which these are meant to be updated versions of. Also I live in Australia without Walmart so Idk when they will release here

Them ankles taking it back to early 2000s ToyBiz. They're capable of adding articulation with ball joints and ball hinges and decide to drop the ball with those awful cuts/swivels. Any added articulation to these Turtles' legs is pointless if the foot can't pivot. I'm about to buy a 3D printer and do what they should have lmaooo

Making a dimple free version would likely require tooling them all over again from scratch, so I doubt that's happening. Kenner milks tooling to death.

@Katieperson6575 Indeed!

Hot take: I don’t like the color matched weapons. White or brown wraps would have looked better I think

They look pretty good for the price and for Playmates. The feet joints are better than no joints. Rocker ankles would be considerably better, but in a pinch, there'll keep your fig from falling over.

The ankles are because they share the same articulation scheme as the Mutant Mayhem Turtles, PlayMates probably wanted uniformity across the modern TMNT lines

Ok, ok…I’m gonna go look for these tonight 😢😅

I like the idea but I'm not feeling the all around turtle body acne and I feel the face sculpt is a little off. I don't hate them but I don't know if I would buy them. I'm torn.

The texture seems to take its inspiration from the Movie Star turtles. My biggest complaint is the skin color: Raph is too pale/mint green compared to the vibrant kelly green of the vintage. And Donatello is too dark chocolate brown compared to the more olive drab vintage color. That’s the deal breaker for me, why can’t they get the vintage colors right? Ankles are crappy too.

i like the textures, i am really bothered by the swapped heads with leonardo and donatello

😂😂 great review! “Staby staber” “bladey blades” let’s face it the figs are such a fail 😢 I would take the originals all day not even a debate. Fun watch thanks for the review!

it seems odd to do hips and knees. and no ball joints in the ankle. it seems to negate the pose. Did the elbows have joints? I would rather pay more to have a little more possing. Fun review!

The box is nicer than I expected; there’s definitely potential here. They’re so close yet so far away.

Also, those playmates hip joints just.. why? No hips have ever benefited from a single joint pin.

Bro you had to get that cart… damn

If playmates does release these again with better ankles and the right headsculpts, i hope they keep the texture. It gives them more detail and separates them from the originals

Thanks, you just saved me $50. The lack of ankle rockers/hinges kills it for me.

They're just ok. The noses look awful. It's a pass for me. Great video.

Yeah Raph's face is definately crooked

Have they also moulded the calves upside down? They look odd

Idk I kinda like these bootleg looking goofy turtles 😅

I wanted to like these, but just can't wrap my mind around the texture. The other details I could've overlook, but those small holes all over, what were they thinking...

Regardless of the flaws collectors will still pick these up! Who are we kidding they’re great in their own way :.l know I will when I see them !

That skin texture looked bad in the promos, but was hoping it wouldn't be so bad in hand. Does it look any better under softer lights? They're neat otherwise, ankles are fine for the price.

Agree with your points! The heads specifically the noses are too big! Ankle articulation is terrible, but the texture is really what kills it for me. Another thing I really don’t like is that they switched Leo and Don’s head. Nice Review.

I do NOT hate these they are clearly their own thing and they look cool

Weird hinge joints, ankle cuts, textured skin and swapped Donatello and Leo heads are making me pass on these. I’d be in if they fixed them and offered them in a 4 pack.

I was thinking of getting these because the interconnected diorama looked cool...but I now I see how out of scale they are and it seems a little silly. I'm probably passing on these

Turtles looking like Edward James Olmos with that poker face

That Raph head does look a little off in this review. Too bad, that is the best Turtle. :) Great review. I will have to keep an eye out for them.

I quite like the texturing. Idk why.

I've gotten into a point where I don't buy figures that don't have at least 24-32 pts of articulation. Especially for the money.

Playmates does a good job at keeping their product on shelves. Hasbro could learn a lesson from them for the Marvel Legends and Black Series.

I don't like the colors of Raph and Donnie, the vintage figs had slightly different shades. Raph should be kelly green, and Donnie wasn't straight up brown, it more yellow green in it.

Someone’s gonna sand these down and smooth out their skin guarantee it lol
