What was this miracle, that you got a Donatello with straight-ish eyes! Every one I saw in the stores had severely derpy eyes. That was the main reason I passed on this line. I don't want a ninja turtle having a stroke!
In 2021, between NECA and SH Figuarts, there are a lot more accurate and better options for cartoon TMNT. But that said, the fact you can still buy these for their original retail price, and the posing options you get? Yeah, I still like these. I actually made a big retrospective video on TMNT action figures last summer and realized when I was making it that I needed Raphael from this set. Went on eBay and found him, and now I’m happy to have this set. I will say, Playmates has run this sculpt into the ground though. They just announced another release with different paint deco. For me, these cartoon color versions are the best ones. Any of the recolors haven’t been as good. Cool video and I’m glad you enjoy these all these years later.
@@something_els3 the first sentence I typed included “there are a lot more accurate and better options for cartoon TMNT”…so no, I don’t think these are better. Not sure where you got that from.
A year on and they're still using it, the TMNT vs. Stranger Things line and a new movie line are currently using it. Personally I found the Loyal Subjects figures pretty good. They're not perfect but they're more cartoon-accurate than these, and much cheaper than the NECA/SHF versions. Plus, I always felt like the Playmates ones were far too big to go with my other 6" figures because the Turtles should be shorter, the BST AXN ones are around 5" so scale nicely with DCUC/Legends/Black Series etc.
I agree with what you say. There are more accurate options, but these still look great. And when they came out, they were probably the most accurate at the time.
Yo tuve la Figura de Raphael cuando tenia 12 años, me sentia muy orgulloso en tener una Figura Clasica de las TORTUGAS NINJAS clasicas, de ahi anelaba tener las Figuras de Leonardo, Donatello, Michaelangel, pero mi mamá no quiso o no pudo comprarme los 3 asi que me tuve que conformar con Raphael, esa Figura de Raphael se me termino dañando a lo largo que hiban pasando los años. Espero cuando Trabaje, me compre estas Versiones de las TORTUGAD NINJAS y los tenga ahi guardados en mi Coleccion
Just got the whole set for $7.50 each at Burlington! For that cheap I’ll just repaint the eyes. Or do the solid white look for a hybrid cartoon/comic book vibe.
Wow, just the display of all four of them at the beginning looks cool. Gave up collecting Turtles for the most part because of the Walmart / Target exclusive issue and difficulty getting them. But just actually picked up two packs of Walmart's of Playmates.. despite the bad guys being actually smaller than the turtles, the turtles look good. And for 35 bucks asset. I dipped my toes and then the turtles. But not going nuts.
The originals were cool and something fresh at the time. Playmates reused these molds too much though. Time for something new. They look great on a shelf with other TMNT lines.
I got these loose from ebay, I don't know if they weren't authentic but they smelled horrible a real petroleum smell so much so my eyes watered and I had to throw them away.... do your ones have that smell?
U can get them lose on amazon for 30 something but (lose). They were like $70 something new. I think so $25 each ain’t bad. Red bandanna collection r $100. Cheap looking but charming. I like them
Assume these are the same in the two packs, with a bad guy, being offered now on Walmart. 35 bucks... Despite the bad guys being small.. not a bad price
I don't remember the 80s cartoon having the colored grips for their weapons. I know the 2003 cartoon did. I bought the Mirage version where they all have red masks. www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/131180
Except the chest and maybe the forward movement of the legs because they’re turtles maybe these looks good well I’m not a fan of the goofy 80’s 90’s cartoon I like the more menacing more tall, heroic and serious turtles without the pupils like the 2003 series I hope somebody will do a new line based on that cartoon Also I don’t care about how visibile the joints are, are not ugly in every way 7/10 for everyone e except Michelangelo with metal chains that’s a plus (7.3/10)
Ohh u shouldn't have opened them I made the mistake as a kid with star wars, but bk to theses I was out yesterday came across a die cast model of Michelangelo and it reminded me of my son he was turtle mad as a kid so I must have stood in the shop for about 20 mins saying why do I want this so i decided yep i do so I was just in my room and sure enough looking at it I see my son as a little boy
Had all four of these and sold them. The articulation was annoying and floppy and I just didn't like the headsculpts, they should have had alternate smiling heads.

so, this is more accurate than the Neca figures? I don’t think so, but, you do you.

I wish they do a serious comic version or the 2003 cartoon with the super hero kinda proportions and white eyes damn I love that style

I love watching u tear open the boxes
I had the “movie” versions of these for years, which were certainly kool in their time, but I’m ssooo glad to have the NECA ones.
i have the leo one from the movie from playmates
1990 some thing ?
My ears almost bled when I heard you say that you dont like the brown color on Donatello vintage figure!!! lol
i always thought why don was brown as a kid😂😂😂
Well the ninja turtles are supposed to be green aren't they
Just got the whole set for $7.50 each at Burlington! For that cheap I’ll just repaint the eyes. Or do the solid white look for a hybrid cartoon/comic book vibe.
I found each one in Burlington for 9 dollars each
They have them at Burlington rite now for 8.99$ each. I got them all today. They are also showing up at Ross. Keep an eye out
I found these Ninja Turtles at my local toyshop last week here in Australia.
I found these at a Burlington store for 10 dollars each. I picked up Michaelangelo yesterday.
Update: I got all 4 from that store! A while ago!
Yeap me to 4 days ago I picked up all four of them! 😎👌🏼🐢
SAME!!!! Edit: I got all four of them
And now i found them all at my burlington for 9.99 each !
Just got mine today for 10 dollars. They are awesome. Far better than the original.
Nice. Where did you find them for that price?

Thankfully the two packs of these figures released, I've only got the Leonardo and Michaelangelo set of two packs I can't find the rest in person yet
They look nice. I never saw any that didn't have weird eyes
7:59 Shouldn't the grip on Donatello's Bo be purple then?
The originals were cool and something fresh at the time. Playmates reused these molds too much though. Time for something new. They look great on a shelf with other TMNT lines.
I didn't even know that these were a thing until like a week ago. Really wish that my child self did a better job at looking for things at toys r us.
This was a good review
I got these loose from ebay, I don't know if they weren't authentic but they smelled horrible a real petroleum smell so much so my eyes watered and I had to throw them away.... do your ones have that smell?
Love it I like playing teenage mutat Ninja turtles
I found these at Burlington for 8.99. All 4 were there. I got them. I thought they were new.
I have the Mikey one and my brother has Donny’s
Where can i get a set like yours? Can you tell me pls
I used to have the movie version from the same line. I sold them bc I’m not that big of a fan of tmnt to have their own display.
Great Video, I saw them recently in a shop near where my place, I will pick them up. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Vienna Austria
Looks great!
A very well done video on your part. I own Raphael which I got for cheap and love that it's meant for play, so I have no fear of breaking it.
My first Mickey action figure was a rerelease of the original tmnt figures and the nunchucks broke
Teenage Mutant Dust Collectors!!
Have the neca and these as well they are pretty nice to me I like them
Agreed that the finger articulation is irrelevant since the fingers themselves will always be bent/curved.
The biggest mistake was leo and doni strap
My brother will love ❤️ theses
Wooooow iv'e got a tmnt figure to but i lost the accesssurys vy the way im just using my mom's phone
these are very cleary resealed figures!
I have an 80s Raphael
sir I am from India how can purchase Ninja Turtle
They brought out two packs
Woww I wish I have action figures bro
U can get them lose on amazon for 30 something but (lose). They were like $70 something new. I think so $25 each ain’t bad. Red bandanna collection r $100. Cheap looking but charming. I like them

I'm kinda glad I could never find these now I have the neca versions which I prefer
Except the chest and maybe the forward movement of the legs because they’re turtles maybe these looks good well I’m not a fan of the goofy 80’s 90’s cartoon I like the more menacing more tall, heroic and serious turtles without the pupils like the 2003 series I hope somebody will do a new line based on that cartoon
Also I don’t care about how visibile the joints are, are not ugly in every way
7/10 for everyone e except Michelangelo with metal chains that’s a plus (7.3/10)
Agreed the 2003 show was the best show and it deserves more recognition and representation
BEST TMNT FIGURES EVER! (Better than NECCA, BST ANX, ect.)💯
MIKEY WTF ARE YOU DOING 1:26
I want these.... I just want to buy the tmnt. No crossover.
Ohh u shouldn't have opened them I made the mistake as a kid with star wars, but bk to theses I was out yesterday came across a die cast model of Michelangelo and it reminded me of my son he was turtle mad as a kid so I must have stood in the shop for about 20 mins saying why do I want this so i decided yep i do so I was just in my room and sure enough looking at it I see my son as a little boy

I find they look bootlegged. I've seen better versions that look cooler no offense
