A much higher price tag and Playmates can't even be bothered to paint the backs of the figures? You're right, that is insane! Walmart and Target both suck on preorders. But Walmart is worse.
Substantially worse
100% agree. That ML cel shaded animated Spider-Man debacle was so bad. Big box store exclusives need to go away.
Walmart ruined their own event horribly 😂
a nightmare place
My Wal-Mart never has anything! They absolutely never stock their collectibles!
It's a constant mess with them
I know w/ your talents that you can easily recreate these on a poster,canvas,poster canvas print,etc. You got this Johnny !
Its not the same 😓
How ?
Or have you given up w/o even trying ?
What would Master Sensi think ?
The same reason I buy artwork from other artists at cons
Great review man! finally someone does a video about these. I am going to paint my $9.99 turtles to look like this. I will paint the back though lol
Hahaha yours will be worth $50
The retail figure has a weapons sprue which makes up for the lack of paint. I was initially put off by Mike's crazy eyes. But I'm kind of enjoying the energy of it now. Like when I see a deal on toys I'd make that face.
We all make that face haha
I especially like that the sprue had some alternative/wacky weapons, like the microphone nunchucks. 😂
Great review my friend! I had a bad experience as well. Unfortunately Walmart cancelled my order on the Raphael. I was thinking about getting all 4 but man those prices were wild for each turtle. Plus they sold out really fast. I can't imagine how the aftermarket is on these.
I’m afraid to look!
You mean to tell me that Playmates half-assed these figures AND their release? No way. I'm shocked 😒😴
Walmart did. Playmates in Australia has made these very easy to get
if you preorder anything from walmart, have enough money to order several sets of 2...... and just return everything you dont want because orders will get cancelled etc and if you get 1 order to ship, you'll need at least 2 to make sure 1 of the 2 is in decent shape making it through delivery. ughhhhh walmart.
Awful but great suggestion
There was so many screw ups with this event and it’s so strange to me. I experienced similar problems with the mailer bags and they only charged for one figure. Also, someone tampered with my Leo box. I guess someone at Playmates or Walmart wanted to see inside. It was double taped on the outer white box and the orange tmnt stickers were peeled back. The inner Leo box also was upside down.
Wow! That’s really frustrating
I got the Leo figure at SDCC and it’s so damn cool. Considered getting the other three, but I was on a budget. At least I didn’t waste my money at Walmart.
Haha, yeah, but the upside is Walmart hasn't remembered to charge people back for the items. Mine was free and others only paid for 1 of 4 😂
The fact that you're paying like 20 dollars more and they can't even paint the back.
Dude, I know!
Well, as long as people keep paying premium prices on half assed product, that's what they are gonna provide.
Same...i wanted the artwork but couldn't secure any of them as they were sold out within a minute. Smh
Awful for everyone aside from scalpers. eBay is littered with them
I was lucky enough to pre order the Walmart Exclusive Marvel Legends Lizard off Walmart! But it came in a bag and my card was bent
Target did the same to me with my Gambit Retro card back. Who is dumb enough to think a bad is right?
I somehow managed to get all 4 of mine. I still haven't been charged. It just says due to price match its $0.00 LOL. Nothing on my CC either.
Amazing. Mine Mikey was never charged back to me either
Your rant about Walmart reminds me of the great Transformers earthrise exclusive debacle of 2020, when many of Walmart exclusive Transformers figures had the same problem--it being a pain to actually place the dang preorder and said preorder getting cancelled for no reason whatsoever. What was worse was that it was very hard to find the figures at retail, they just never got them in stock, and the only way to get them were through scalpers. In that case it might have been Hasbro's fault though because the same thing happened with the Amazon exclusive figures that year too.
I hate all of this. Lol. Exclusives have to end of they can’t be done properly
Michelangelo is My favourite Turtle sadly the only thing I like about this figure is the box
The box Art has more effort put into it than the actual action figure never seen that happen before.
Par for the course with Playmates it seems. I will take some empty boxes though!
These are the first thing I’ve ordered from Walmart and Going thru the same thing. Ordered the set for $10-15 over retail and received a Donny exclusive and the other 3 arrived basic figures 😂
Oh no. Anything over retail was not Walmart but a third party seller
when i got the turtles all the wepons were unpainted
So dumb!
Is the only thing different about them from the normal release is that they got battle damage painting deco to them? I bought all 4 turtle normal releases for $10 each, but I think I'd would've wanted these more but $20 more than I what I paid for each. Not sure why would I need to keep them in the box because they don't have back deco, just an odd decision. I'm still good with the normal ones.
No battle damage on these but they did release the two packs that have damage and backdrops. But yes, the difference here is paint and the box
The best part of the Walmart debacle is the coupon they give you for cancelling. Expires. Hahaha
Lol 😂 yes and I have to spend at least $25? Dumb
@@NostalgiaUnboxed yeah its almost more insulting than the cancellation "sorry we wouldn't let you shop here, to make up for it shop with us even more!"
Good review! Sorry to hear that Wal-mart bites so bad
Thank you
As a Transformer collector, I LOATHE Walmart. So many pre-orders have been cancelled on me.
The amount of these on eBay now makes me extra angry. I can’t imagine going through this with a line as large as transformers
@@NostalgiaUnboxed It's pretty insufferable. The loss of Toys R Us in the states has made things so much more difficult than they need to be.
I didn’t participate in this event. However I get the issue. I bought tbs Bad Batch Rex and that was a total nightmare. Scalpers, buggy website, and the ability to buy 12 of the figs at once. I hate Walmart
The worst
I can hear the violin 🎻 when you tell us that sad story 😅
Lol
Playmates gonna Playmates 🫠
Half a** attempt at making a nice figure lol
I thought these looked pretty good but tbh after the in depth look i feel like i could probably paint the regular figures myself.
I think you could. For me it’s the box mostly
@@NostalgiaUnboxed yeah the box looks very exclusive
You’re so right while don is not my favorite turtle by any means he is my favorite from the movie so kudos bud.
Thanks!
I ordered 4 Duplicos 1 min after it went up, next day they remove the total of my order and tell me is on review, but not cancelled. 3 days later my order is cancelled for lack of stock, tell me I will get my credit back in 10 days. After that I reach the chat and they tell me I was charged the full ammount by error and in 2 days ill get an email... that was 3 days ago. I finally decided to open a claim through PayPal.
They are so bad at this! Looking at my PayPal account I was charged immediately for all 4 and refunded right after (since they are preorder I guess). They never charged for this Mikey 😂
All of these are up for sale at a store in Australia called eb games which is pretty much just game stop I have no idea how they go them but there all for sale online and in store
That’s ridiculous! (We used to have EB games before they merged)
@@NostalgiaUnboxed oh true
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I'm probably gonna get one but I'm usure which one because I want to get my favorite one from the movie but it doesn't even come out here till September 7
Whoa😳?! $30 bucks for a Playmate figure😰??? Great review but I'll pass on this. Plus it's Walmart😶💭.....need I say more.
Haha yeah. They get weird sometimes like the Last Ronin they made
Right as you pulled Mickey out of the box a chick filet commercial played
Targeted ads
I need these figures but scalpers are charging way too much 😢
They sure are!
Walmart and Target are total trash when it comes to pre ordering. Canceling pre orders and sending me a message at 3am that you didn't confirm you still wanted the item you pre ordered months ago
Ugh, the worst
Sucks that they canceled on you.
I am just coming off of Duplico and Moss Man woes. Admittedly, I wanted Duplico for ironic zeitgeist-y reasons, but every Duplico I received in the mail came in a crushed bag, and I actually had to hunt Moss Man at physical stores at a high time/gasoline cost. But I refuse to pay scalpers! I would rather pay three times in gas costs than pay a scalper. "From hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit at thee"
I am happy to see that at least the condition of the box you received seemed to be okay for it being sent in an envelope.
That sucks, man. I wish they would get this fixed.
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I am resigned to the fact that Walmart is optimized to sell diapers and inexpensive jeans so their systems and employees cannot handle collector purchasing.
Beyond that, I am not sure if the toy companies are looking for a guaranteed fee from Walmart/Target/Amazon when they assign exclusives to them OR if Walmart/Target/Amazon are exerting pressure on toy companies by requiring them to assign exclusives in exchange for preferential floor/site placement.
@@schadenfreudeind great question! I would love to know those details
@@NostalgiaUnboxed It is a shame the toy community does not have a former toy insider who could shed light on such topics instead of proclaiming certain lines dead to antagonize collectors for cheap views. Too bad
@@schadenfreudeind what is that?
The painting details look good even if they are not perfect. The artwork and presentation of the figure inside are good to. Maybe is not for you but is it sure is for new turtle fans man.💡
Are you talking to me or people that don’t like this? Because I love this
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I thought you didn't like it by your comments man... 😯💡
WOW! I had no idea these had more details on them. They look so much better, just wish they had done the whole figure and.....that they were just ya know.... available. Becacuse like you I would have gone all in on these dudes. Guess I'll just settle for the van pack.
Yeah, dude. It’s frustrating because they are littering eBay now
@@NostalgiaUnboxed GROSS!!! Some peoples kids.
Yup, I myself had them in cart and just about to check out, gone. Walmart should not get exclusives. Its like there he'll bent on ruining collectors.
Absolutely
That really sucks that happened sorry to hear that dude, but if you can still get the cheaper ones i would just go with them and paint them 😅🤷♂
Haha the cheaper sets don’t have the box art
@@NostalgiaUnboxed yeah i know but you could just do it yourself haha
Today I got them all …I don’t know how ! Free gift from Walmart.
I’m going to find you
@@NostalgiaUnboxed lol
I ordered within 1 minute of the first listing and had all four cancelled
Sounds about right
Large swaths of people hate the preorder model for Walmart. It’s inefficiency gets most at least once or twice. It’s as insane as insane can get how they handle inventory, notifications, fulfillment…It will never ever change. Walmart grabs the toy companies by their ovals and says give us exclusives or we aren’t giving you much shelf space. Walmart gets their thing to make people hunt and seethe. They laugh as they get their money from whomever. The toy companies appreciate the thousands and thousands of orders as they have to fill hundred of locations. I got to think they can’t be screwing over a big percentage of consumers, maybe 15%. As long as the margin is 85% or more satisfied customers at most times then they do not have to improve. Might be bigger 25/75…
It’s crazy. eBay is absolutely loaded with these now and I’m not even sure how scalpers were able to buy successfully
Glad to see i can just buy the bland ones and attempt to paint them!
yes, lol
I have N.E.V.E.R. had a good experience with Walmart. But your review of the figure makes me feel less bad I missed out.
I hate them
Walmart canceled my order bought it within 3 minutes of first listing
those jerks
Blessing in disguise..its not considerably better than the 10 dollars individually packaged one.
Not much
@NostalgiaUnboxed u have inspired me to start doing reviews as well..as I am a man child collector..and not just an infamous rom hacker. You have the best action figure reviews I've ever seen on here, mine won't be as good. Lol
@@TheNintenja haha well thank you. And keep making them and you’ll be better than me
Lol bro mine came in. One in a box (that could've fit all 4) and 3 in a bag.
Wtf! Haha so dumb
Walmart sent me two Leo's instead of a Michaelangelo. I would love to trade for your Michaelangelo. Thanks!
Then I’m still stuck with just one
True, doesn't help you out too much. By the way I really enjoy your content!
@@jamescreech421 thank you
Neca price for playmates quality. I feel the 10 dollars version At the store is a better value with all its accessories.
True
You remind me of Stephen Amell, can we get a casey jones cosplay? 🤔
maybe an Arrow
@@NostalgiaUnboxed You have failed this city
Even better 🔥@@NostalgiaUnboxed
F.o.m.o fear of missing out. I have so much turtle toys . The Neca figurines .the turtles movie figs from 6 years ago. I might get Rafael ,Leonardo.
It’s the worst
Walmart is the absolute worst for exclusives. Though they now sell Great Value TMNT macaroni and cheese.
Haha, they do indeed
“I wanted the box art”
Uh huh
Man, I really wanted Mikey. Missed the listings.
I know this pain. I’m sorry
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I’ve gotten lucky with others, so can’t complain too much.
How did they not paint the back …. Brooooo
I know!!!
Were these at stores or only online?
Online preorders
Honestly I like the $10 releases better then these over priced ones. They look more like playmates toys toys to me.
We need to just stop buying things from Walmart all together. That’s the only way to make a company listen. Stop giving them money.
Definitely a boycott needed
Hey nostalgia did you see those idw tmnt figures that bst axn made?
I saw Mad Hatter’s review of them. Seem good for that brand
@@NostalgiaUnboxed yeah you thinking of getting them and reviewing them?
@@bradpoc2791 not for me
pretty frustrating that distruibtors like wal mart constantly getting away with stuff like this. Target is just as bad. they cancelled my vintage collection Fetts with no real reason.
It’s all so stupid
i'm so glad this movie has no appeal to me.
you really need to consider watching it
Ugh hate Walmart, and hate preordering toys from Walmart and Target! Both suck and treat pre-orders with less importance than store stock. I'd say I have about a 50/50 record of getting my pre-ordered toys from both stores, which would *never* fly for anything other than toys and maybe electronics. As for this figure, he looks better than expected re: paint job.
It’s an awful mess for sure. Incredibly frustrating for something so basic
Great review~🤓👍🐢🙏
Thank you
I think you could make them yourself. I really don't like the way they're painted. Your's would more than likely be 10 times better and cost less. I've seen your art it's really good. I would love too see how they turn out.
That’s very kind. Thank you
For $30 I'd rather have the SDCC BST AXN
Surprisingly good
Jon, your pain is felt brother.
Thanks, man
The back is such a disappointment but clearly one of those to keep in the box. I do like this new TMNT style, unique and very good and the artsy box makes it a good set all in all. Perfect? Not by any means, but it’ll do. I recently managed to order the set through a UK retailer but something tells me they are dodgy and I’ll have to dispute it with PayPal. Very likely they are selling the standard one in the fancy box, who knows. Or maybe it never arrives. I’ll have to wait and see.
I hope they are correct when you get them!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed cheers man!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed not that you asked but.. they arrived, they are the real deal... HOWEVER, due to UK import rules, they were all opened, a stamp added to the inside of the legs (UK/CA regulatory BS) .. don't ask me why and also a massive sticker on the back of the boxes destroying the artwork if I remove it.... disaster...
@@a.s.f.6163 omg!!! That’s insane!!
Lol. These cost more than a Jada Toys Street Fighter figure😹 I see you posing back there, Ryu.
In all fairness the new paint on these things actually looks damn good to me. Shame they didn’t carry it over to the backside and that price is absolutely stupid for how basic the figure is. The standard ones are $10 and come with way more accessories. My little brothers love em and are more than happy without these variants.
Yeah, those dumb “exclusive” taxes
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I can “exclusively” wait for and buy the entire 2nd wave of this line for my bros for the price of 2-3 of these variants.😹 Way to go Walmart.
Random question: you see tmnt in Street Fighter 6 yet? The skins alone are almost $60!
LoL thaaat's playmates!
They got us again
I think anybody that paid $30 for these got scammed. $20 paintjob on a $10 toy is just rediculous.
Nah
Didn't even add the extra weapons rack for 10-20 extra bucks?
Wild
Big bad toy store had them the last time I checked. They say SDCC exclusive on them idk if it's the same but they were 30 bucks
What??
I'm sorry I got mixed up big time. It's the BST Turtles 😂😂😂 sorry to get your hopes up. I know you're big on the art and these don't have it
They are really cool but they're the one that I didn't like the paint job on so I would wait for the regular release and save some money too
You could always just go to Walmart. The one where I live has so many of them theirs a turtle I every isle. I'm sure one of them is the one you're looking for 😂😂😂
@@chriswombles nah, this design is an SDCC exclusive
I did better in my opinion with a black sharpie, I just color than all of the lines😅😂
What’s crazy is that it still requires customization to be complete lol
Do you have a place that I can send you photos of my custom turtles? Not to be weird or anything
@@J.P.Productions any social. LinkTree is in the video description
It does stink that they didn’t do the back of the shells and heads, but I think they’re pretty neat overall. And yes Walmart is horrible.
Such an odd choice
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I did my own line work on a set already and did the shells of course. Don’t want to touch these, in case I decide to sell them. Feel like that wouldn’t help the sale. And I can’t match the digital tattooing they did on them.
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Guess it was just them being cheap and figuring that if people were gonna display them, it was either going to be in that velvety, plastic shell, or forward facing. I think they look neat but you really have to be up on them to notice all the extra color and shading. Or maybe it’s just that my eyes are getting bad.
@@maskedfan4015 could be both haha!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed true that. Haha.
Artwork on the box is awesome but you're better off saving your money on a neca figure at that point.
My preference for sure, but these are in line with the marvel legends VHS boxes for me. I have those and some are empty because I wanted the art
I think as a collector, the word I hate to hear is “Exclusive” 🙄 🤦♂️ sorry to hear about your order issues! 😢
Same here!
lets just teach people how to maybe one of the simplest paint technique's. a nice black wash. and the fact that there would be no paint rub on the in-between shell yellow? totally paint your own.
It’s more than a wash, but sure man. Like I said it’s more about the box
Are these rare in the US? They seem readily available in the UK, £29.99
They were ONLY available at SDCC and then the nightmare Walmart experience. Now it’s scalpers
@@NostalgiaUnboxed it's so unfair how these things are decided, the stock has turned up on random toy sites with no fanfare?!?! If you ever need anything shipped over from the UK just let me know. I love your channel!!!!
@@jmward4920 thank you
My brother in turtles... is there a permanent something us peasants could use on our $10 variety to mimic your shiny deco variety? I'll hang up n listen. Thanks!
Lol. A Gundam marker does wonders
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I'm gonna make my daughter effort that, cause me no color well. Thank you my sir.
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Also my guy, thanks for the review. Been dying to see these since they were announced prior to SDCC. Kept checking daily after SDCC and some dude did a review but wouldn't take the fig out of its fuzzy coffin. These additional iterations frighten me though. Do I wait for high end or stick with my price range... ByE!
I think this line will continue as the basic $10 options. They did some exclusives with previous iterations of the turtles, but pretty sure they only existed as that. I can't believe someone would bother to review it and not take it out of the black plastic! haha what a weird choice
Okok, I would leave the other three. Not that nice unfortunately! Rgrdz from the Netherlands
I need the boxes though
$30.00 fingers No additional accessories non-articulated nunchucks
Horrible, horrible horrible playmates
standard playmates
What Walmart does to a man
breaks him down until he is dirt
I need to know if anyone else got these all for only $35 like I did!?!? I am shocked they honored the order and they came in boxes with bubble wrap wtf?!
say what?
@@NostalgiaUnboxed yeah dude I got the order in the first time then the site glitched and changed the amount to $0 for all 4. Then a few days later it updated to $35. Lmao and they sent them! Nuts.
Lol meanwhile on facebook groups, I've seen stories where they ordered these special versions and only got the basic set. And were still charged the full more expensive price.
@@jdarkseid7720 mine also went to zero but looking through my PayPal they never actually charged me for this Mikey
@@KootenaiKing I think what happened is when it glitched it charged me thinking it were the standard ones since they’re $10 each. Only reason I can think this happened lol. All well fuck Walmart.
Walmart ruined my life and my marriage 😂😂😂
That’s the Great Value way
The art style/design for this movie has been one of my favorites I've seen in a long while, so I totally get why you wanted the boxes, if I could have gotten them at a decent price I would have as well. I hope they are making an artbook for the movie.
They are! I have it preordered on Amazon. Really excited to see what it shows off!
Actually, the chains are not exactly the same. The original ones are painted a metal color, and the collector ones look plain plastic gray!
They look identical to me
Painting the shell would be pointless. Keep it in the box, shell is hidden, display on a shelf, shell is still hidden. If s kid plays with it, they don't care. Sucks Walmart did this to you. They canceled my WWE Superstars figures so many times. I did sezzle to pay in 4 and they canceled so I got the mo ey back on a gift card :( Walmart is trash 🗑
Kids won’t care which is why you would buy the $10 version. The shell should be painted.
@@NostalgiaUnboxed but rhe back of the packaging or the back of your shelf won't care if it's painted or not
@@bluraycaper then why ever paint the back of any figure?
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I don't think these are painted, I think the colors on the back are the color of rhe plastic
Yeah WAlmart sux, i got cancelled on too many times & it’s an exclusive. & by chance the items up to pre. Chances are it’s a “bait and switch”. They can switch the item for à similar item, if they don’t have the item. & I have never been successful securing a2nd chance exclusive pre
It’s a disgusting mess
Walmart is mega poopy
ultra mega
Looks like Walmart saved you $90. These are a weak exclusive..
Actually, I didn’t get charged for the Mikey either 😂
Mariana be for real so I bike Mikey just to find out where all the reason why I have $10 because I don’t have a cool quality did the ones that cost $30 gonna be for real that’s why they’re $10
I do not understand what you said. I'm sorry
I can do a better job painting the normal one
Do it then
im going to be honest i i hate the new action figures of them they dont look close to the real thing. I beg mercy for raph
What? For playmates these are very accurate
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I know they just look odd to me mikey and leo are alright but donnie looks a bit like leo and raph looks bad in my opinion. Dont take any of this as i hate the company though please ive really only got 3 turtles oh also the only other turtles i have are from neca lol
the whole movie is a fumble
Hahaha you couldn’t be more far from the truth. Numbers don’t lie
These figures really aren’t that great
They're not but I love them
This are the worst tmnt ever made 😅
Poor boy
Why are so many grown up men collecting toys ?
Is it because you never had any when the appropriate time to play with them was ? Or is it that you want to "recreate" the magic of childhood at a grown age ?
Honest answer ?
Reset your thought and ask, “why do so many people collect anything”
