FINALLY!!You can move their fingers!!In the comics,did they ever say HOW Splinter and the Turtles get money??I mean they always have cash for Pizza BEFORE meeting April.
Wow, just wow. The 90's versions of the movie looks ten times better then these things. They do look like the Turtles; but they look NOTHING like what we saw in the movie. If anything, these look like the dorky third movie versions.
These figure would also make great custom fodder. I would not be surprised if down the road we start seeing custom action figures using these as a base.
You were so right, PD! The shoulder joints are so tight, and the peg at the bicep is so weak that it's not a lot of fun to play with the figure. Glad I only got 1 to test the waters...
Just got Raphael from this series for my collection. He looks fantastic in person and every time I look at him it takes my right back to 1990 when I saw the first movie in the theater. Also I am hoping to get some of the old Movie Star Turtles for my collection as well. I had Raphael back in the day and I always wanted the rest of the figures, but I never got them for some reason.
I got the 1980s Cartoon Donatello for Christmas last year and my only complaint with him is his joints at the shoulders will not bend so he is stuck in a "T" position with his arms..
Very nice!!! I love this remake tmnt movie star... well done playmates. Excellent comparation time with movie star classic!!!! :) Thanks Pixeldan for this review!!! I was waiting!!!.
The facial expression for Leo is fine. It's the exact same expression he makes in the movie when Shredder has his foot on Leo's chest, and Shredder has his spear to Leo's neck. That'll be a cool scene to recreate when classic shredder is released next year.
I can't wait to get these! Even with the lack of paint detail and Leo's 'thousand-yard-stare' they're amazing. I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for a movie Shredder and a movie Casey Jones. Now as for the need for paint detail, if you click the BBTS link, the pic they and, I'm sure, others use for these guys is the original publicity shot. The figures in that shot look about as close to perfection as we could have gotten. They look like they're supposed to look in that shot, with all the added/desired paint detail intact. Even their fingernails were individually painted. They looked awesome! Now I don't know how toy production works. Honestly, I don't have a clue. But is there a valid reason why all of that detail isn't on the rest of the figures? I wouldn't have a problem paying more for them that way. Either way, these are a fabulous addition to any turtle-fan's collection. On a side note, not to say anything bad about these figures or to sound ungrateful or greedy, but the more I see the old Movie Star turtles, the more I wish Playmates would re-issue them like they did the 80's turtles. I know I can't be the only one.
Donatello looks dopey. I think he's the one who got the short end of the stick. Leo's facial expression is from when Shredder has him pinned onto the ground, about to kill him.
my main problem with all these figures is the plasitc used, its way to soft and rubbery and there isnt enough friction in the jointsin the legs and waist wich prevents long poses
I can see where they got that Leo face having seen the movie a ton. I'm surprised no one mentions how off the Donatello head sculpt is. Compare that to the movie version and the head shape and face are SO different. Plus the mask isn't the dark purple from the film. Nit-picks aside, I think all these figures look much better in person and are fun, cool figures to own.
I just picked these up. Mikey was sold out online and I went to Toysrus the other day and they had them in stock. I thought they were only available online. Which is good cause I got to use a 20 percent off on him :-)
I will buy these when I can... A: Find them in Toys R Us or via Amazon B: I have the $ for them I still say I hope that the Movie Star turtles from the 90s get a re-release as well so those of us (like me) who missed out on them the 1st time get another chance. Also, I really hope the 1990 movie Shredder, Tatsu & Foot Soldier get in this line because they are awesome. Also Dan, what are your thoughts on the Mirage comic style turtle figures being released by Playmates? My thoughts are that I'll go into the store & say (imitating Frye from Futurama) "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!" (lol)
I hope Bluefin Tamashii Bandai makes this version of the turtles too. I know they will do better with them. NECA's version is cool too but I want them in a 5inch scale that SH Figuarts has them.
Leonardo's face sculpt is from when shredder had him on the ground pointing his staff at his face
FINALLY!!You can move their fingers!!In the comics,did they ever say HOW Splinter and the Turtles get money??I mean they always have cash for Pizza BEFORE meeting April.
Sammy Lane I wondered that myself.😂
would be funny if they got it from people dropping their money in the sewers
I hope they make classics of the 2003 and 2012 figures.
hey Dan i think the look on Leos face is the face he makes in tmnt3 when he cut lord Noranogas hair
Wow, just wow. The 90's versions of the movie looks ten times better then these things. They do look like the Turtles; but they look NOTHING like what we saw in the movie. If anything, these look like the dorky third movie versions.
Prime92 more like the 90 movie suits are like 100 times better than these figures
I like that they fixed the hands so the fingers don't have a weird "skin flap" hanging over the fingers when bent like the cartoon versions do.
Por dios son geniales yi tenía igualito a los 4 :) pero los perdí
He did get the half shell heroes toys
I love these throw back ones. Fun video. Thanks
These remind me of the classic movie, can't wait for these to come to the UK. Great review Dan
These figure would also make great custom fodder. I would not be surprised if down the road we start seeing custom action figures using these as a base.
You were so right, PD! The shoulder joints are so tight, and the peg at the bicep is so weak that it's not a lot of fun to play with the figure. Glad I only got 1 to test the waters...
They all look great. In my opinion, it looks like Leo is having the prepare-to-fight face.
TMNT are the best toys
These are SO cool!
Just got Raphael from this series for my collection. He looks fantastic in person and every time I look at him it takes my right back to 1990 when I saw the first movie in the theater. Also I am hoping to get some of the old Movie Star Turtles for my collection as well. I had Raphael back in the day and I always wanted the rest of the figures, but I never got them for some reason.
These look good but pale in comparison to the original movie toys in terms of sculpt detail.
I love this tmnt classics figures collection a must have for collectors
i just got these guys yesterday, i like them
Very cool figures!! I like their expressions!
Pixel dan one of my favorites introducing new toys with ultimate LAG
I got the 1980s Cartoon Donatello for Christmas last year and my only complaint with him is his joints at the shoulders will not bend so he is stuck in a "T" position with his arms..
They look to me like a fusion of toon and movie. Love the no spots look but im sure many of my collector brethren would disagree.
Very nice!!! I love this remake tmnt movie star... well done playmates. Excellent comparation time with movie star classic!!!! :) Thanks Pixeldan for this review!!! I was waiting!!!.
for the tight arms you can use a hair-dryer
The facial expression for Leo is fine. It's the exact same expression he makes in the movie when Shredder has his foot on Leo's chest, and Shredder has his spear to Leo's neck.
That'll be a cool scene to recreate when classic shredder is released next year.
yeah
I LOVE BEING A TURTLEEEE!!!! THESE ARE A MUST HAVE!!!
Pixel dan were did you get those movie toys
A 2003 series classic collection would be amazing
Can you tell me what size the stand is, and is it the same size as the other classic collection you reviewed as well?
I hope series 3 Classics makes the 'Movie Turtles' next! A Shredder and Foot Soldiers would be nice already!
I can't wait to get these! Even with the lack of paint detail and Leo's 'thousand-yard-stare' they're amazing. I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for a movie Shredder and a movie Casey Jones.
Now as for the need for paint detail, if you click the BBTS link, the pic they and, I'm sure, others use for these guys is the original publicity shot.

Hi PixelDan,I was just wondering that are you gonna do a review or reviews about the upcoming Revoltech TMNT figures?
Does anybody know where these are going to Or are available? Are they a TRUs exclusive Or can only be purchased online????
From what store did you buy these?
cool where did you get them
the Classic figure we need, is Mutagen Man in a deluxe, updated look
They look awesome but i always feel that they mess up Leo's face :(
Pixel dan were did you get those
1990 Movie Mike didn't have chained nunchucks, though, he had CORDED ones.
can i say the movie costums look extremely accurate to the comics
I think toon accurate 2003 could be the next wave after that planned Shredder and Krang prototype. But, enough turtle lol, give us 87 Casey and April.
Donatello looks dopey. I think he's the one who got the short end of the stick. Leo's facial expression is from when Shredder has him pinned onto the ground, about to kill him.
Leo looks like somebody jumped out and scared him to me personally, but still some cool looking figures.
Were did you get those
I hope we get Tokka and Rahza
danm Leo looks like he seen something that spooked him.
They took Splinter
How much and how do I order them?
Leo's expression is weird.
my main problem with all these figures is the plasitc used, its way to soft and rubbery and there isnt enough friction in the jointsin the legs and waist wich prevents long poses
Nitpick mode: Michelangelo's nunchaku had a string attaching them in the movie, not chains. Other than that, great figures.
I got Mikey and Donnie yesterday :)
Hey Dan, I wish you would have compared them with the 2014 movie action figures but I'm alright with that. Can you tell me what their suez is though.
Does anyone else think a Trans-Dimensional Turtles release for the 80's turtles would be cool?
Please help me to decide who is the best: Platmates TMNT classic collection 1988 or 1990 movie figures?
Dan, do you feel this second wave was a attempt to kill off this line with low sales?
Did they do a Classics Slash?
I hope they make either a classes cartoon shredder or 1990 movie shredder.
I can see where they got that Leo face having seen the movie a ton. I'm surprised no one mentions how off the Donatello head sculpt is. Compare that to the movie version and the head shape and face are SO different. Plus the mask isn't the dark purple from the film.
Nit-picks aside, I think all these figures look much better in person and are fun, cool figures to own.
I hope playmates makes the 2014 movie turtles this way one day. I don't like the ones in stores now.
I can't wait for sheddar to come out
Leo took an Acid Pizza Dan.
I just picked these up. Mikey was sold out online and I went to Toysrus the other day and they had them in stock. I thought they were only available online. Which is good cause I got to use a 20 percent off on him :-)
Also dan the 90s movies turtles were made from tmnt 2, and in that movie the turtles had alot more spots.
I want THEM where did you git them
Kaden
are these in CANADA?
It’s Ninja Time
love them im gonna buy em
Anyone know why we're only getting one wave of classics per year?
I just found out these exist today
First time even seeing these.
Thanks to Amazon I have 2 of these 1990 movie turtles they screwed up my order i wanted the 6 inch based on the cartoon series.
The original movie didn't have the spots. Those were added in the sequels.
The faces are meant to match the cover art of the movie art
This review was a day late......OUCH! Dan slip's to no#2.
It looks like they have the same looks on their faces as the movie star turtles
I broke one of the arms from Mikey at the bicep trying to get him out of the package any suggestions?
Woooow!! Now that is aweeeesomeee!!! Or like Mikey would say Radical Duuuudeeee!!!
Jeffrey van 3
OMG I WANT THEM
I wanna get these! does anyone else think leo's head look like the head from TMNT3?
Theyre ok, they really look like a mix between the cartoon and the movie turtles.
These look a lot better less warty
I will buy these when I can...
A: Find them in Toys R Us or via Amazon
B: I have the $ for them
I still say I hope that the Movie Star turtles from the 90s get a re-release as well so those of us (like me) who missed out on them the 1st time get another chance.
Also, I really hope the 1990 movie Shredder, Tatsu & Foot Soldier get in this line because they are awesome.
Also Dan, what are your thoughts on the Mirage comic style turtle figures being released by Playmates?
My thoughts are that I'll go into the store & say (imitating Frye from Futurama) "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!" (lol)
I hope Bluefin Tamashii Bandai makes this version of the turtles too. I know they will do better with them. NECA's version is cool too but I want them in a 5inch scale that SH Figuarts has them.
Good review
You can even get these from toysrus
they are no longer exclusive. Amazon has them in stock. The real amazon not resellers!
All my turtles' shoulders were frozen. I love the design, but don't like how flimsy the articulation joints feel.
Amazon has them too.
i like your ninja turtle toys
At 4:00 it looks like Donny is giving us the finger! Am I right!'
...I REALLY Hope they're much resistant, than the previous "TMNT: Classic line".
do they sell the Classic Collection in store I can't find them. can't wait to see the new tmnt movie
I can't find them either
Found them on amazon for $20 each, in stock now
chipstacktv Ok thank but that doesn't answers my question do the stores like target toys r us and more stores have these Classic Collection
