Update! I made a mistake. The channel 6 news building actually first appeared in the very first episode Turtle Tracks around the 11:05 mark. The building is shown in a wide shot and it appears different than the one featured in Return of the Shredder.
Wow, that was cool. It's like a documentary film about recurring character cast of that show. Tremendous amount of work and time to put every detail together. Thank you so much for such unique kind of content. As for the set itself - it's not as cool as other releases, but for the opportunity to get a momentary collection with one set is very enjoyable. It's not so overpriced as many others would thought, but I have almost no complaints about buying it. Unfortunately, my Catwoman had a very stiff elbow joints and quite cheap paint job, which even after heating is pretty bad looking, so I had to paint the hinges myself. And as far as I know, this problem is quite often can happen with the preorder case. Also I had to sew my Irma a soft cloth skirt, cutting with a scissors the rubber one. But at least it helps to increase the potential of the figure. Almost all of the accessories are great and useful for a display (especially the cat, since it was also on a dial of a muta-zoo ray, which helps to collect the decent amount of animals and insects from the cartoon. Now I only need a donkey). The only disappointment in this set for me is that so popular character like Irma, which had so much solo-based episodes, doesn't have a specific accessories from them - the terminator head, the pill with the meteorite remnants or an ice cream, a Rambo head or smth. About April mutation - since Bebop and Rocksteady had the installed coordinates, the were just brought to the set place, the cat just tampered with the atomic energy without the location course, which made it and April to mix some molecules and since the power of muta-transporter is not on the same level as the desintigrator unit in the Technodrome - the effect was temporary.
Always happy to see you comment! I didn’t think about the cat on the Mutazoo ray but that’s an awesome connection. They really could have made Irma a deluxe figure. I think all of the accessories you listed would have been great. Maybe they could have a two pack of Irma with the terminator where you can remove her head and replace it with the terminators. I just think they should release a full body version of it. That sucks about your Catwoman. Her tiny joints really worry me. You made the right choice with her skirt. Toy companies give women vinyl skirts all the time and they never work well. I know I had old marvel legends or dcuc figures that had that problem, but I don’t remember which because I got rid of them.
Dude... 35:30 is pure Catnip gold. Great vid!! Lengthy, but all killer no filler. Your passion (and mild OCD) really shows because you cover everything you see necessary. No corner-cutting, half-cocked review for you. Also very thorough to present us with the Neko April origin story. However, maybe include a "Spoiler alert" warning for us when you do an abridged episode review in case one hasn't seen it yet. I guess 30 years is still to soon lol xD!!
Haha sorry if I spoiled it for you. I’ll have to start remembering to mention that. it’s definitely a mix of ocd and something else. I get carried away sometimes. Like I feel like I have to mention everything haha.
Great review once again. That channel 6 building truly been through a lot throughout the old series. Irma was such a fun character in the old series. She was like a female Steve Urkel. In the 2012 series, part of me wished they kept Irma as a human character and ally to the turtles, rather than her being reviewed as a Kranng. And I would’ve loved to see a 2012 version of Vernon. Maybe have him be an upperclassman of April, or even maybe April could work as Vernon’s intern for the channel 6 building. The red sky episode truly changed things. So did you have the chance to play the new TMNT game shredders revenge, it’s awesome. And are you looking forward to the TMNT collection?
I think it would have been cool if the Turtles found a real Irma being held captive by the Krang after they defeated the fake one. I haven’t played shredders revenge yet. I preordered the physical version on the switch so I may buy the digital version on the ps4. It looks awesome. I’m really excited about getting the tmnt collection. I have most of the games, but it’ll be great having them on my switch.
This was a great education in episodes I completely forgot about. Lol 😂 The way Leo was holding April!😂😂👏the way some of those scenes are, omg. Wow, I love your channel! 🎃🍕👻
This a great set but a second head sculpt for Irma and a regular head for April for everyone who missed out on the regular release would have taken this set over the top. That said I love this line. Cool channel bro.
Great video as always. So I thank you. I only wish you would of mention the characters names before taking off the slip cover. Knowing a lot of people didn’t know Irma’s last name. That would of been a nice touch. Regardless great video. Appreciate your hard work. Thanks again my friend.
Thanks! You make a great point. I’ll have to make sure I mention the characters names in the beginning when I review the premutation 4pack. I probably just took for granted that everyone would know them.
- Big yes to getting a new Irma head but not a full figure - not a fan of that type of double dipping - Appreciated the history of channel 6 backgrounds from the toon. I don't think I ever noticed that letter E, but I see it now! - Go ahead and make a diorama! I made one, you can check it out on my IG - April is definitely out of scale, its not just the height - her itty bitty hand look completely out of place - I hated when Batman Returns stole that plot! #justicefortmnt - Burne's expression is definitely a bit too cartoony as you say. I've long suspected that both him and Irma got very expressive profiles because NECA was saving more neutral head sculpts for potential re-releases, which is why at first I wasn't planning to get this set. - As an adult I actually PREFER to watch scenes with the Channel 6 crew to random mutant action and stuff. - I'm not crazy about variants but I definitely would like a Super Irma - I agree with almost all your criticism about the Irma figure (except the cloth skirt) but I still think it's excellent all things considered - Yes, Tiffany would have been great - Those studio cameras were definitely a selling point for me.

This was an enjoyable way to spend my Saturday morning. Thanks very much for doing these in-depth reviews! I understand that the double-jointed elbows stick out but I use that added articulation a lot. Again, thanks very much for all your hard work putting these reviews together, looking forward to the next one.
Awesome review! Have you gotten a chance to play the new Turtles game "Shredder's Revenge"? It's amazing! So many references and small details. The 1st level takes you through the Channel 6 building. Thanks again for all the hard work you put into your in depth reviews. It such great content you give us for free, we appreciate it.
Someone should make an open-world TMNT video game that let's you explore and see how all the landmarks from the cartoon are tied together in one continuous environment. It would be a big project, but I know it would be possible because other games (like Batman and Spiderman) have been able to do it.
I’d like a cartoon O’Neil on a bike & that assassin bot who was after kermy. But hopefully I get the hulk frog *(nepoleon???) & jersey red + the gang. Oh …& space Donnie this year. But definitely spending less in 23’…darn ! I’ll need SOTO shredder & keno.
I didn't grab this pack as I already had April and Vernon previously, and couldn't justify the money for just two figures, really. I'm hoping at some point they release Burne and Irma down the line, most like in two packs (I can imagine them release Burn with his girlfriend at least). EDIT: I'm sure you know by now REX-1 is on his way...

Dude…. A feature length film…. Best in the biz. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Thanks!

You give the best reviews. You put so much time and effort in them.........."they won."
"But how?!"
Haha thanks!
This a great set but a second head sculpt for Irma and a regular head for April for everyone who missed out on the regular release would have taken this set over the top. That said I love this line. Cool channel bro.
Thank you! I really wish Irma had a second head. Hopefully Neca puts out a deluxe April with a fixed body and makes her easily available.
Love these crazy long reviews, it's a review and a podcast all in one
Thanks! That’s exactly how I think of these videos!
Great video as always. So I thank you. I only wish you would of mention the characters names before taking off the slip cover. Knowing a lot of people didn’t know Irma’s last name. That would of been a nice touch. Regardless great video. Appreciate your hard work. Thanks again my friend.

You reviews are always the best!
Thanks!

Again, thanks very much for all your hard work putting these reviews together, looking forward to the next one.
Thank you! I usually end up using the extra articulation too, especially for pictures. I just wish the joint didn’t look so weird.
@@razrentals8897 They do look pretty weird sometimes! Lol.
Awesome review! Have you gotten a chance to play the new Turtles game "Shredder's Revenge"? It's amazing! So many references and small details. The 1st level takes you through the Channel 6 building. Thanks again for all the hard work you put into your in depth reviews. It such great content you give us for free, we appreciate it.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the review! I haven’t had a chance to play it yet. I may buy it digitally over the weekend.
Saw this at target and was so tempted to pick it up. Amazing review as always Gary, definitely worth the time. Looking forward to the next one!
Thank you! I'm really happy you enjoyed it. It took forever to put together haha.
Someone should make an open-world TMNT video game that let's you explore and see how all the landmarks from the cartoon are tied together in one continuous environment. It would be a big project, but I know it would be possible because other games (like Batman and Spiderman) have been able to do it.
That would be awesome. I’d play that game. I’m also hoping they make a sequel to Shredders Revenge.
This is really good. I'm45 minutes in. Will finish the rest later this evening. Good Stuff!
Thanks!
2 hours?!? Damn, time to put on some coffee :P
I’d like a cartoon O’Neil on a bike & that assassin bot who was after kermy. But hopefully I get the hulk frog *(nepoleon???) & jersey red + the gang. Oh …& space Donnie this year. But definitely spending less in 23’…darn ! I’ll need SOTO shredder & keno.
I’ll be getting as much as I can, but I may cut down on some other toy lines.
I didn't grab this pack as I already had April and Vernon previously, and couldn't justify the money for just two figures, really. I'm hoping at some point they release Burne and Irma down the line, most like in two packs (I can imagine them release Burn with his girlfriend at least).
EDIT: I'm sure you know by now REX-1 is on his way...
Yep I saw a screenshot of Rex1, but I haven’t watched the actual interview yet. Im really glad he’s on the way!
Catwoman the villain who got in love with batman Who holds on known as Selena Kyle.
I’d say April was more like “She-Cat” or “Woman-Cat”.
awesome review
Thanks!
39:18 They really animated April in the face down, ass up position. 🫦
