      I don’t collect TMNT but I feel your disappointment with this toy. To be so excited for it and then it’s like WTF! The one thing I can relate it to is the weapons that come with the classified line. I know they’ve course corrected but it took them over 100 figures to do so. Its turned something I loved as a kid to something I loathe. This is my opinion. Thanks for sharing brother.

    Your top half is on backwards. Flip it to where eye ball rolls towards the front. That will also expose the tabs in the rear to allow it open. Right now, that ramp is blocking the tabs because the top half is on backwards.

    Just got mine in yesterday from Amazon. Like you and others, didn't have the Technodrome and it is just an iconic piece to have. Does it being scaled down from the original suck? Yes, the Technodrome is supposed to be this big oversized enemy lair and we like things scaled to size as adults. Because we can now say we have OCD or something. As kids I don't think we really gave a shit about size difference as long as it was close.
    I reality for me. I am never playing with this thing. It will just be a backdrop on display for nostalgic purposes. It's cool to finally have one. Do you know what it's like looking at big foam balls at Hobby Lobby and Walmart art section thinking 🤔 Hmmm, how can I turn this into a Technodrome. 😂

    I feel that damaged molds shouldn’t be an issue when there is access to original parts and advances in technology to create new molds….and even improve on them. We saw this with Hasbro’s GIJOE 25th/30th anniversary Skystriker and Tomahawk vehicles. I don’t know if those 2 molds were specifically part of a bunch of GIJOE molds that were lost in transit to another foreign toy company that licensed the products, but they were able to cast new molds with improvements to the structural designs on those toys.

Second hand loose ones in Australia typicall for for $600 + . The reissue with minor differences? $150-160 AUD. BARGAIN! So stoked to get my one in couple weeks, back.

    Very sad, im glad i got the original from goodwill back in 03 for a buck. Good videos man.
    Also there isn’t a damn thing wrong with playing with toys, it’s creativity imagination and creation.
    What I find wrong ( not you obviously) is when people think playing with toys is childish. It’s not any different than playing an instrument, writing, making a movie, building a car etc.
    What I find childish is sitting on our phones sitting on social media, or what not. It’s silly.

Back to the new TD I saw someone using their Super7 Reaction TMNT figures with the new TD and they looked Great with it.

    It’s so unfortunate that they scaled it down. It HAS to be that they lost or broke the original molds and had to mold it again. It would be great if someone from Playmates did an interview or if they released a statement. It would also be great if they fixed the situation by reissuing it with the correct scaling. I don’t see that happening, though, and that’s also very unfortunate. It came back up for preorder on Amazon.

    Amazon did send me a technodrome. I have not built it yet. Kind of deciding how I'm going to display it first. If you have some smaller turtles figures. Like the super 7 reaction or Joytoy. This will work with those as their 4 inch figures.
    Following the discourse it is disappointing that its barely compatible with the reissue line which you should expect it to fit. I think its mostly going to end up as a backdrop piece for turtle figure displays.
    I have a vintage technodrome, its missing some parts but it launches that eyeball bowling down turtles just like the commercials. The heavier weight of the vintage eye, and maybe the ramp position could be factors. Your ramp is definitely facing the wrong way but the lower doors are correct. Which is really strange. Hopefully you can pull the top section off and flip it.
    Cool documentary. Sometimes playmates is unpredictable, and takes shortcuts. But like Ryan said is making a new smaller tooling really saving money?

    Good thing I did not buy the original Technodrome, but rather created my own Technodrome. Purely from scratch, namely, cardboard and some battery powered lights. Also, the Technodrome is spiky, gold, and has a missile launching gun on the front. The landing gear I’ve used for were made from Legos. And it splits apart through Velcro. I’ve also made a separate playset like the computer room from the technodrome.

    So they screwed up the size, and its not even marketed to kids.
    Something i think Hasbro finally fking figured out with TVC (3.75) if you have half a dozen exclusives.. different stores to chase.. that isn't something a kid can do.
    Not many kids are gonna chase down variants or exclusives a parent buying a bunch at christmas needs to find them in the store.. and the most popular figures are ALWAYS gone by then.
    These markets really need to figure out what they're doing, Remaking for adults- or making it cheaper for kids.. who can't buy this item or wont.
    If they scaled the turtles and figures down, i'd say it'd be alright.. smaller scale of what you had as a kid.. is kind of cool, but not like this.

    I wonder if this version was originally intended to be part of the Mutant Mayhem toy line, and after that idea was scrapped, they figured they could release it in the classic line.
    The Mutant Mayhem turtles themselves are a little taller because you can pose them with their legs straight, but Leo, Mikey, and Don are all thinner (Raph is about the same width), and you get a lot more leg articulation from the new figures, so they might fit better. I don't have MM Beebop and Rocksteady, but looking at photos, they appear to be smaller than the original Beebop and Rocksteady. Finally several of the figures like Ghengis Frog and Wingnut are definitely shorter. So as a whole, they might fit better in this new Technodrome.
    I definitely was tricked by that photo with the classic Beebop because it does make it look like it's the same size until people started getting them in-hand. Very deceptive on Playmates' part.

    I for one absolutely love what they've done with this release. Sure there are pros and cons but I do believe there are more pros than cons with this release.
    I will admit I've had the same cancelation issuse asking me to update my order. Out of the three I ordered one has been fulfilled. So the ordering process has definitely been a nightmare no doubt.
    When it comes to the actual size I'm OK with what we've been given. I like that it's not gigantic as it displays better in it's smaller form.
    In the end I get why people are upset but I'm just looking at this as a heavily updated rerelease.
    I also want to point out that on the original the Brainscrambler never worked as intended either... you always had to put the arms and legs straight up for it to work and the spring was always weak.
    The biggest issue for me is the size of the jail and even then it's not as bad as people are making it out to be.

      @ToyAttics It depends on what you're referencing. The figures never fit the seats on the original Technodrome.
      The jail is a bit tight but has enough space for turtles. I even threw in my vintage orange stripe April and she grabs on to the bars perfectly.
      The bed fits a turtle although it is a bit tight. The gunner platforms on the outside actually accommodate BeBop better than the original does. I actually get him to sit on his butt on the reissue. I believe the guns sit higher on the sides than the original.
      I'll say this. I had my time to play with the original as a kid and I loved it but the reissue is great for my collection and display as an adult and you can't beat it at a 3rd of the cost complete and brand new.

    Its $80 vs >$500 for an original which is hard to get not yellowed and/or well loved. Of course its worth getting. So much entitlement with critics and fans these days over stuff like this.
    Its such an over exageration that you cannot display your figures with this because of course you can. Sure it would have been nice if it had been the same size as the original but if this is what playmates had to do to re-release it so I can have a display ready fresh one, I'm all for it because they could have just not re-made it.
