It hasn't been 40 years. 40th year will be 2028. Mattel did the same thing with He-Man and the MOTU. Where at the time, their toyline was only 39 years old. Yet they had a 40th year series. The paint looks cleaner than 1988's version. I also like the metal weapon Donatello has. When I was growing up in the 80's and 90's, I didn't like that the weapons were all wood looking. The only one that I didn't mind, was Donatello. That's bc Donatello's Bo staff is wood.
Honestly, I prefer these Remasters over the original 1988 designs. I always had an issue with the posing of the original 1988 Turtles (the feet specifically). Other than the skin texture and them ONLY being a Wal-Mart exclusive, these Remasters are top knotch! Recently copped all 4 not too long ago.
Haha, honestly the OG 1988 figures and the TMNT Super 7 Ultimates figures are more apples/oranges IMO. Don't get me wrong, the OG 1988 figures while iconic, had major issues with leg posing, weapon brittleness, joint brittleness (break one of the legs and your figure is useless), & paint chipping. Then again, they're a product of the 1980's lol. The Remastered figures fixes all of these issues. Remastered figures have issues too, but the quality of life changes while paying respect to the originals gives them an edge!
The remastered line sold so well Playmates is adding Shredder and Rocksteady to it. My only, very minor, gripe with the remastered turtles is that they head swapped Leonardo and Donatello; Donnie always had the full grin while Leo had the side smirk.
You did it to me! I’m buying this set. Will be my first TMNT figures in I believe 15-18 years. I’m not a figure collector but I love the TMNT. Thank you for the review.
4:49 (that’s what she said)… I hope Playmates keeps up the line up like Supper7. What you meant to say was blister card packing. Wish the Turtles would come in a big card back. I miss the days when I was a kid and would go to the store hoping to find Shredder and the card back toys would go shoulder to shoulder… good old times. I’m sad I don’t have my old TMNT toys the world was so big back then.
New here and happy for it !!! love you and love your channel!!your passion feeds me with happy vibes and your pink shirt is beautiful ! I subbed and love Donatello xxxbtw splinter needs some love too (he trained them overall)
The reggie 40th anniversary ones are only $10 though. I like the classic packaging of the $10 ones. I noticed they started putting 40th anniversary stickers on the plastic though. I remember my mom buying them for $3.99 when I was a kid.
I need an umbrella for all that shade thrown at Donatello’s brothers. 😜 Be careful with those aggressive weapons! 🤣 All jokes aside, gratz on scoring Donatello! 🤟🏽
These are fone for what they are. Obviously an ankle rocker would've been fantastic. But the fact these aren't just like the OGs is fine. We've had how many reissues for crying out loud. They're dope for $12!
Queen? I’ve got a question. Do You have every version of Donatello action figures ever created? I’m pretty sure You are close at least! Great video from a Great Gal!! 💜 QueenG Double Deuce!!
Also my fav turtle, still on fence with these. Another issue I have is the purple looks more blue. Certainly sticks out more when he’s holding the bow staff
Only because of the topic of TMNT. I recently discovered, the Nickelodeon version of NECA figures. Holy cow. 17.5 inches tall. Idk how many points of articulation because I only looked at them briefly in stores. I only looked to be able to compare my own 1990s Raphael to. But they’re better looking. Aside from Raphael not having on a duster haha.
@THEQueenG22 happy belated birthday 🎉 ill be 50 September 26 and i love 💕 TMNT.i love Donatello cause hes smart like me and i love 💕 electronics and rigging things up.ive watch all version from 80s Saturday morning classic to Rise of TMNT.TMNT THE NEXT MUTATION WAS BAD ONLY THING I VLIKED WAS VENUS,THE INTRO WAS 🔥 AND THE CROSSOVER THEY DID IN POWER RANGERS IN SPACE
The OG Donatello had the teeth on both sides, but when they made THESE, they gave the double smile to Leonardo. I went to Wal-Mart all they had was Leonardo. You think I didn't grab him when I did?🤣🤣🤣
Funny... The only figure I saw left at my Walmart was this 1 Donatello 😝 I'll eventually find a Remastered Raph. Although, I still think they're sort of a budget version of the Super7 Ultimate series 😅 At least, I got the 40th anniversary concept art figure of Raph from Target. I like the fact that his accessories consist of 1 katana & scabbard; it's sort of mocking Leo that he has a sword too 😆
Did you know they also reissued the 1989 Pizza Thrower? You'll find THAT at Target. I still got mine, so I'll sit this one out. Plus, I'm not too crazy about reissues. It's nice, the only difference is it takes 3 AAA batteries ,whereas the original one takes 2 C batteries.
1st off You're poster in the back, that's a mashup of Mario Sonic and Link is sick!❤❤❤ Love your videos. Absolutely love the original dark tone on the Donatello figure. Straight nostalgia, take me back😭🤣
Your going to hate me for saying this but my favorite ninja turtle growing up is Raphael. My sister's favorite was Donatello and my brother's favorite is Michelangelo. I like your videos I follow you on instagram.i like your outfit on a picture there
they are great. I havent collected turtles since 2012 series, but this got me back in due to them looking like the ogs. I cant locate a Raph anywhere though, he is the only one Im missing😪
Hey The Queen G22 "Happy Thursday". I hope your day has been well. I hope you had a wonderful birthday. Nice shirt. But anyway I hope the rest of your day is enjoyable. Stay safe, take care and stay amazing.
O,m,g..,t,q,g,22!!!!! These are the tmnt origins toy that Wal-Mart U.S has but not Wal-Mart canada not yet anyway. You are lucky. I will find you Turtles 🐢 ♥️. Great video review as always.
Love your video as always, but oh, man I hate the textured look on the skin. From far away it looks like fur. Close up it makes them look like frogs. Doesn't work at all if you ask me. But it's also true that I'm not liking life right now! lol
The purple wrap on his staf and tge blue wrap on the mace got me looking at this Donnie different. Why the wrap on his weapons different and his pads and head band?
Why is he brown 😢 why do they have to always try to reinvent them?? Leave them ALONE! And yeah I want a TMNT movie with the Original Turtles suits NOT special effects or CGI I want that Raw gritty NY TMNT 90S movie with actors in the Original turtle looking suits!!!!! Make it happen!!!
You mean suits that constantly break and deteriorate? CGI is the only way to go for a good result. They just should avoid screwing up the design like they did with the Bay Turtles.
@@jarosbodytko6462 nah bro yeah the suits for a movie.. all the movies they all where terrible I’m sorry.. the original movies was the best hands down.. I understand about the suits breaking over time but it’s 2024 bro with today’s materials etc they can make them look exactly the same and make them much lighter and way more durable.. but yes definitely we need a REAL TMNT movie with all 4 turtles, splinter etc
That thing isn't better than the Donotelo i got as a 10 year old boy in 1988 smh. He was my favorite as a kid, now its Raphael....he is cool but hes not better lol😂 hes not.
Yeah , I don’t know if I don’t like life, but I definitely don’t like this figure. Or at least it has 3 glaring issues for me. 1) The swivel feet. Why would they not do ankle articulation?

Maybe Playmates should split up their TMNT line into 2 separate lines, one aimed at children, and one aimed at the collector market? That way they could keep the toyline on the cheaper side and charge more for higher standard figures. After all it’s to maintain a lower price point that they cut back on sculpting, paint etc…

These cost $13 @ Wal-Mart and they got 13 points of articulation. So basically, you're paying a dollar for each articulation point.
The reggie 40th anniversary ones are only $10 though. I like the classic packaging of the $10 ones. I noticed they started putting 40th anniversary stickers on the plastic though. I remember my mom buying them for $3.99 when I was a kid.
@KnoxHarringtonTheVideoArtist At walmart they're $13. I WISH they was only $10.
And the rest of action figure is free?
That spiked ball on a chain is a Mace (or a Flail)
I need an umbrella for all that shade thrown at Donatello’s brothers. 😜
Be careful with those aggressive weapons! 🤣
All jokes aside, gratz on scoring Donatello! 🤟🏽

That Donnie was a Leo. His head band, elbow pads and knee pads are blue.
Also my fav turtle, still on fence with these. Another issue I have is the purple looks more blue. Certainly sticks out more when he’s holding the bow staff
Gunna need this whole line!! Hope they keep going with these!! ; D And great price, compared to the Super 7sss! Ahh! ; D

That thing isn't better than the Donotelo i got as a 10 year old boy in 1988 smh. He was my favorite as a kid, now its Raphael....he is cool but hes not better lol😂 hes not.
Yeah , I don’t know if I don’t like life, but I definitely don’t like this figure. Or at least it has 3 glaring issues for me. 1) The swivel feet. Why would they not do ankle articulation? Even a very simple up and down moving foot like they did with the ‘Wacky action Sewer Swimmin’ Donatello’ offers better stability to the figure; 2) The weapons they just use from another set, which is why the purple doesn’t match. It even looks to me like the staff is too long (probably not what she said) for the figure, and the plastic seems much more shiny. And 3) The skin texture. It is so overdone, or rather poorly done. With digital sculpting nowadays there’s so much they could’ve tried like little bumps on the skin, or an actual scale texture, but they chose the least creative and frankly lazy solution here: just poke holes all over the skin. And the result is he looks like he has cellulite all over his body. And it’s probably the most intrusive on Donnie due to his dark skin, Raphael probably suffers the least from the texture. Such a shame they didn’t put more thought into what is arguably the biggest visual feature of this line.
I also heard people complain about him having the wrong head, or his skin being more brown than the original olive green, but those to me aren’t big issues tbh.
And I’m also aware this is Playmates, who are still more of a toy company than a company known for adult collectables, so the quality will be undoubtably less. BUT as they seem to also want to appeal to the adult collector market with this set as well as others from the past, they need to step up their game, especially when they have Neca, Super 7 and the like as their competition. Maybe Playmates should split up their TMNT line into 2 separate lines, one aimed at children, and one aimed at the collector market? That way they could keep the toyline on the cheaper side and charge more for higher standard figures. After all it’s to maintain a lower price point that they cut back on sculpting, paint etc…
