Thanks man been wondering what the deal was with Tatsu. That’s great news. I definitely see the likeness in the frown face for sure but maybe the open mouth at least to me feels off. I keep going back and forth with I see it and then I’m like nah. Regardless I am so so happy we have an official release.
@@moescatobotcollects For sure. The yelling head looks really off. At least we have the default that looks pretty good. It's just harder to get the likeness just right on a pretty simplistic looking bald dude. You know, like there's no distinguished features such as a hump nose or puckered lookin' mouth.
@Chalor. I will say the sculpt of the head shape is perfect look at him from the back of the head it comes to that sharp point that Tatsu definitely has
13:40 My sentiments exactly. Haven't heard anyone but you mention my thoughts on the box being lackluster compared to the NECA standard. I mean it's not bad (I like the textured finish), but just not what you'd expect, especially for such a highly anticipated release. *It's almost like bootleg packaging 🤣. Just subtly changed the name to "Tatso."
@@Chalor. Dude yes 100%! That’s why when leaks first started to hit it felt like a bootleg for sure, and no character description especially for Tatsu, one of the most anticipated characters is just odd.
Yeah, 'cause if not, we won't get a Secret of the Ooze version....and I don't even know the difference between the two looks. Tried seeing the differences with some online searching, but failed at that. Guess the only way is to freakin' watch the movie again, then brighten the hell out of a screenshot. Or maybe the costumes are pretty much the same, I don't know 🤷🏼♂️.
It's still unknown why it took so long to get his figure. I can tell you the one time Trevor went to meet him. He agreed pretty quickly. Paige turco is verified on her way also.
Nice review! I'm glad ou were able to find and snag one! I'mI hoping to find one for myself soon as well! The figure looks really great. Definitely some of NECA's best work.
What I kept doing was going to the listing on Walmart's site. It _always_ said available to ship to home, and I could add it to cart and all, _then_ it'd say it's not in-stock. Kept being persistent, until one day I did it, and was able to submit my order. Now I was just waiting on an email to say it's not available, but got one saying it's been delayed...but a couple days later and it was on my doorstep!
Definitely need to get this figure. Never thought we'd get one. Totally agree with you about how its not all "there" though. The head sculpt likeness and packaging is off like you mentioned. Probably had to rework some things to make this happen like you mentioned. I mean, his family were pretty serious about his likeness not being used at all, lol. Great review and glad to see you still doing your thing, bro! Videos are next level now with the presentation and the room you shoot them in is even more awesome than before. Congrats and take care 💯
Doesn’t matter because Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that he just came into Harry's and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS, and a Motec system exhaust
@@OpenPLEASE Hey my man!!!!!! Thanks buddy! As my favorite Spider-Man always says… Trying to do better. I mean Tobey not Jonathan lol. I’m in love with this Tatsu and playing with him more off camera he’s a blast.
Crazy how I just brought Tatsu today in Walmart at Raleigh. Even though I don’t know any Ninja Turtle. I just brought him because how he’s look Badass..
I found it weird the actor really didn’t want figure to be made Elias Koteas Casey Jones didn’t want one either but changed his mind after. Tatsu being made gives me hope Brody will get release eventually
I was able to pick him up today. I wish he had vertical hinges on the weapon holding hands. also, does yours have really clicky hip joints when you move the legs forward and backward?
I didn't know that Neca made a Tatsu figure. I don't think I've seen any announcements, so to me, this is a surprise. I hope I find this figure at my local Walmart stores
12:09 Hey dude - mo(e)scato used to be my go-to wine until I discovered Duplin muscadine wine). I don't fully get why ppl don't like to call it X (gon' give it to ya!). It's a cooler name than the word that means rapid pace high-pitched bird chirping...plus Elon Musk owns it, so it gets cool points. I never used it 'cause I don't do social media, until you had to be a member on Instagram in order to look at ppl's neat custom stuff for sale. Then there's the news aspect, and I thought it'd be consistent across all the platforms, but nope. At some point I realized NECA was sharing stuff on Twitter/X that they weren't on Instagram. _Ahhh,_ the good ol' (modern) days where you could go to like one or two sites to get all your toy news...Cool Toy Review & Rebel Scum.
@@Chalor. I love Twitter lol for the toy community alone we all help each other fine toys. #CHC collectors helping collectors! Cost plus shipping that’s it! We hate scalpers and we just want to share our passion for figures! lol X hon give it to ya! Love it! Also I use it for preorders and announcements on toys and video games has helped me tremendously.
Awesome review. Really next level. So much personality, super funny and next level editing. Super close ups and you go over everything perfectly! Deserves the best review of this figure all day!
The likeness is off. I'm wondering if NECA even got the likeness rights to Tatsu and just made the figure for the fans. This figure looks more like Stephon Marbury than Tatsu!!! This was a miss by NECA!!
Willing to bet money that the included wooden and metal swords are a shout out to actor Toshishiro Obata's status as the founder and headmaster of the Shinkendo school of swordsmanship
great review and I agree with you on everything except when it comes to rating the likeness. the head looks very cartoonish and that's likely on purpose for them to be able to get a Tatsu out so I think saying the likeness is 90% there is way too lenient
I definitely see it on the back of the head sculpt like they nailed the shape of the head big time but yeah I’m the face it is off for sure I have seen customs that have done it better but not by much in my opinion. Thanks for taking the time to check out my vid man and happy hunting
@@moescatobotcollects fair enough. his hairline is also a problem. the actor had a buzzcut but his hairline was great in the movie whereas this guy looks like he's just balding
Trevor confirmed they worked with his family on the figure, and I gotta say I think he looks just like him!

Time out. With the family? I thought he was still alive?
@lonedragon3261 I athink he is I just looked it up and didn’t say death. He’s 75 years old

Neca did say at SDCC they worked with the actor and he and his estate are happy with how the figure turned out
@@Hamburglar009 Yep I saw that so that’s great news. I still think the figure is fantastic.

Prolly be the last Tatsu figure when he finds out everyone is making fun of his figure.
I really hope not man! It’s so good a few nitpicks with likeness but still a phenomenal figure for sure and I’m so happy to have him next to shredder!

@Chalor. I have to bring up both and compare!

Dude no way Paige Turco April! That’s awesome!
Nice review! I'm glad ou were able to find and snag one! I'mI hoping to find one for myself soon as well! The figure looks really great. Definitely some of NECA's best work.
Good luck buddy hope you find him!
Since they usually like to make several versions of these characters to maximize the mold I’m curious if they will release more
I wouldn’t say no to a secret of the ooze tatsu with a couple new head sculpts.
Can’t wait for your review buddy! I want to hear your thoughts
Nice video Moe!!! Your the man
Thanks buddy!
Lucky you, I’ve been to seven Walmarts in my area and I still can’t find this figure.
Keep checking everyday also try twitter with #chc on Twitter.

Vertical hinges would be sick! Mine has no clickyness.
Awesome review. Definitely need this.
He’s amazing man. It’s so weird to see an official release and comparing them to all the custom Tatsu figures over the years!

@@craigjuan5744 Good luck with the hunt! He’s been leaked on social media for about a month.
Neca all together has gone down hill between distribution, failed announcements, and overall licenses. The companies shot

Hell yeah! Now go play!
@@moescatobotcollects 🤣 yes master
Now we need a paige turco april
Yep that’s for sure her and Vanilla Ice
ima be honest I only bought him cuz people where rude about the re tail price and I feel like we will never get tastu ever again so I didn’t open mine
People were rude? What Happened? I hope we’ll get a secret of the ooze version with a better likeness.
Great video Moe!! Welcome back! Can't wait to get ny hands around you...I mean him 😮
