Thanks for taking time with the box. When they posted the teaser images, it blew me away how they swapped out their figures for the suits, and how perfectly they recreated the box art from that tape we watched over and over again. Great review! My set arrives Monday. Can't wait!
How is the quality of the new NECA figures? I have some NECA PiratesOfTheCaribbean figures and they broke at some joints and the plastic smells really ugly. Please answer, I want to buy them, but if the broke and smell?
I remember the old toys that wrre made for the movies. They were much more accurate than the playmates ones. Remember those? They were kinda rubbery and more bendy than the usual plastic ones and really looked close to the films. Especially for the time back in the 90s for something youd buy at toys r us.
Great review, you're definitely lucky to have gotten ahold of those. As a side note, I love that not only do you have a VHS to compare, but it's still shrink-wrapped. So cool.
The 1/4 scale are without a doubt the definitive versions of the movie Turtles. Cloth bandana tails, way more skin texturing details..and more of an epic shelf presence. These definitely take 2nd place though. But I think nothing beats last year's animated Turtles set.
It seems like the only thing lost in scaling these down is that the quarter scale figs have this awesome scaly/bumpy skin. Those scales & bumps are barely visible on these 6 inch versions.
I always preferred Pizza Primitive Structure over Tile Game Pizza tbh. ;) lol Great review of these awesome figures. My jaw would have dropped if I saw figures like this as a kid lol.
I too have wondered why they didn't still use cloth fabric for the bandanas, ribbon fabric for the back of the bandolier strap of the Donatello figure's belt to hold the bo staff, and didn't give the back of the Michelangelo figure's belt open slots to hold the nunchakus. How hard could it have been?
These are great, but the 1/4 scale versions will always be THE set when it comes to the 90's movie Turtles. I like these 6" figures, but a lot of detail is lost with them. The 1/4 scale versions look and feel remarkably lifelike. With the larger figures, the various paint details have room to blend in and look great. On the 6" figures (notably the heads) most of that looks like they ate messy food and didn't wipe their faces off, especially on Raph. Also, Donnie having an incomplete belt is a huge concern for me. I like these figures, and I'm glad they exist (even though NECA made getting them a pain in the ass for real collectors and gave them to scalpers on a silver platter), but I'll be sticking with the 1/4 scale line. They just dropped dime on the Foot Soldier, and Shredder should be at least unveiled by the end of this month.
I'm wondering why I got the SDCC box today on ebay for EUR 88,- (about USD 97) - more than 1 year after the video. It was the last available out of 20 and the seller has a good feedback rating. Has the SDCC box been produced again?
Just received mine from eBay today! Over paid for them but I couldn’t resist. I tried to pre order but I was seconds late. These are so cool! Great video.
optibotimus its all good...I appreciate that. I did pay double the pre-sale price. Oh well...I’m cool with it. I just had to get these some how. No regrets.
I always like the original figures that came out for the movie, the ones that had rubber arms and legs, I thought those looked really good for the time, not much articulation, but still.
OMG this set is perfect!!! I saw the Bigger sized versions of the 1990 movie turtles and while they look awesome I wanted something smaller. How much is this???
optibotimus all good. Ive got the diorama set ordered. NECA Just shipped it to my friend in the US and from there will be forwarded to Australia. Just curious how good the diorama is as ive been waiting for ages!
Those are some radical figures, dude!!! Very movie accurate and at a much better scale than those giant ones, especially if space is what you need, absolutely amazing! Cowabunga!!! I love being a turtle!!!
Good review. Although shutting down the 1/4 scale isn't true for everyone. Both have their place and I am a fan of both. For my more favourite characters, I'd like both. Although for me, the 1/4 scale should always have a huge step up in detail. Although sadly it's not always the case.
optibotimus because some people prefer the new looking turtles and others like the older looking turtles put them together and everyone dreams would come true because ever since the new movies came out my first thought was imagine if the old ones and the new ones met
i have dreams of owning them, I cry alittle inside with each review i see of these figures. Im waiting to see them on amazon and staying away from ebay.
I doubt Playmates feels ashamed of their product vs Neca's: Playmates makes toys for KIDS, whereas Neca makes toys for COLLECTORS. Different price points too. The extra detailing, paint apps, sculpting, articulation, etc. are also something that Neca is known for - Playmates, not so much. I'd love to have a set of these but until China makes knock offs of them, I'm perfectly happy with my Playmates versions.
I like how you randomly rant about NECA making their shit too big LOL I got so confused cuz I dozed off and I heard your voice raise and I just simply said wtf and laughed about your passion of the toys
Also all the more reason I never bothered with the playmates movie turtles. They looked too much like they were from an animated version of the original movie. Blegh.

This is why Playmates should have lost the license years ago. The fans who kept the turtle power alive all these years are adults. We deserve better
Nin Ja Yes we do! Im 33 by the way.
i'm 7. :)
Yup. I'm 40 and grew up with the TMNT. I've been a fan for a long time 🙂🐢🐢🐢🐢🐭
Good news is two years later at the Neca's are flowing through gamestop's and Walmart's with surprisingly frequent restocks
Absolutely amazing masterpieces. Right down to the packaging. Worth every penny.
How is the quality of the new NECA figures? I have some NECA PiratesOfTheCaribbean figures
and they broke at some joints and the plastic smells really ugly. Please
answer, I want to buy them, but if the broke and smell?

:) thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching!
these are beautiful, i always wanted movie figures of this size, i love them.
awesome review dude
The playmates version looks cartoony compared to these NECAs.
The 1/4 scale are without a doubt the definitive versions of the movie Turtles. Cloth bandana tails, way more skin texturing details..and more of an epic shelf presence. These definitely take 2nd place though. But I think nothing beats last year's animated Turtles set.
How can you tell a real set from a counterfeit set?
It seems like the only thing lost in scaling these down is that the quarter scale figs have this awesome scaly/bumpy skin. Those scales & bumps are barely visible on these 6 inch versions.
After so long...now only I'm getting this awesome figure and I'm so happy with it !

Your review is great, very in-depth. I got these in the mail this week, I LOVE THEM!
I owned that vhs and watched it so many times. The wear on the box is so realistic
My package will arrive in a couple of days. Can't wait to put them next to my other Neca sets.

I bought them for Christmas.....at the Walmart where I work. In two 2 packs.

Thank you for being my inspiration optibotimus! I've started my own review channel
Zero ???
😑
Couldn’t your name be a little more original? Lol
blackopjdko I know
My screen name is in dedication to optibotimus too.
Just received mine from eBay today! Over paid for them but I couldn’t resist. I tried to pre order but I was seconds late. These are so cool! Great video.
OH man, i hope you didn't pay TOO much. Wish you woulda shot me a message and i could have tried getting you one at the show :(
optibotimus its all good...I appreciate that. I did pay double the pre-sale price. Oh well...I’m cool with it. I just had to get these some how. No regrets.
optibotimus I coughed up $250. But it’s way worst now... like $350
I paid 300 for mine well worth every penny lol
Is there any shop that ship them worldwide and have pre-orders for all four set?
Ebay would probably be the only place to find them now.
Mickey should said: "God, i love being Neca!!! xD
Dude you know we are going to get the rest of the line!!!
OStevens yeah next year see pixel dan’s neca sdcc 2018 video
In my opinion I like these turtles better then Michael Bay's Turtles
everybody does
DUH!
We all do
COUGH COUGH almost everyone's opinion COUGH COUGH
👍🏻 yes...
That nostalgic case. I need it! Even though I have no nostalgia for this film.
I always like the original figures that came out for the movie, the ones that had rubber arms and legs, I thought those looked really good for the time, not much articulation, but still.
I tried to get them on line but no luck
OMG this set is perfect!!! I saw the Bigger sized versions of the 1990 movie turtles and while they look awesome I wanted something smaller. How much is this???
How can I find these today 2022? Got a link?
Sold out
NICE! Can't wait to get mine! Doing a giveaway for the diorama set when they come in.
Bossa Nova review, man!! The boys look absolutely incredible, even in that scale. Really appreciate how thorough & invested you were. 🐢🍕
Got my shipping confirmation today! 👍
I want these so bad UGH
It’s worth that if you’re a huge fan.
I jus pre order mine's form the gamestop the bundle pack for $91 or can get them individually for $22.99
Great review, these figures do look really nice. I'm impressed with what Neca has done such a shame it's ab exclusive set and not mass released.
Awesome figures thx!
Did any of the youtube reviewers get the diorama set? Just want to see the diorama review.
Didn't want to spend the extra money on it. Sorry
optibotimus all good. Ive got the diorama set ordered. NECA Just shipped it to my friend in the US and from there will be forwarded to Australia. Just curious how good the diorama is as ive been waiting for ages!
Adam Smith I found a video on the diorama being put together and you’re going to be happy. I know I was.
Mine came this past Saturday. They’re so damn good.
Can’t wait to have them!!
I think they may do single cards version
Neca make some awesome stuff but their 1/4 scaled need to come with stands. These 7 inches arent to bad but the 1/4 scales have given me headaches.
Does anyone know where are the original turtles costumes?
TURTLE POWER!
I really want to hold these in my hands and pose them. I had the rubber ones that were originally made but these are way cooler.
what was the original price for this set ? thank you
$125.00 usd
We need to get these in 1 18 scale
Optibotimus , you and Pixel Dan should do a video together sometime .
Luckily got my hands on a set of these on the neca store
You got VERY lucky lol
Have yours arrived in mail? I haven't got mine yet.
Evan Huff they shipped earlier today
Nunchucku, and their arms are different look closer shells as well
Those are some radical figures, dude!!! Very movie accurate and at a much better scale than those giant ones, especially if space is what you need, absolutely amazing! Cowabunga!!! I love being a turtle!!!
Why can’t we get a night watcher figure? I would die of excitement if one was announced. I would love to put the armor on Raphael.
1
uh in the movie it was TGRI no?
I Just noticed pixel dan on the box
Can’t wait for mine to arrive 🤓🙌🏾
how much did you pay for it
I gonna try to get those turtles figures
Yes I like Donatello too
These figures are extremely worth buying if you were born in this era, and you like ninja Turtles. I've been waiting for turtles like these.
NEED this in 1/6!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wise men say, Forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for a late pizza!
i do wish neca toys do the tmnt from 2003 series, that was my favorite series of the turtles when i was a kid
Zorgo Difusse 6:28
Dam dude thoes toys look straight out of the movie really cool
In the begining i thought he was gonna rap again but still an AMAZING review love it 👍👍❤😀😀
Good review. Although shutting down the 1/4 scale isn't true for everyone. Both have their place and I am a fan of both. For my more favourite characters, I'd like both. Although for me, the 1/4 scale should always have a huge step up in detail. Although sadly it's not always the case.
Love your transformers vidz
You called Raphael, Leo ...
Raphael... He's the leader of the group. 😂
You should compare it to the threezero ones
Why? That makes no sense. The Threezero ones are 6th scale and from a different movie entirely
optibotimus because some people prefer the new looking turtles and others like the older looking turtles put them together and everyone dreams would come true because ever since the new movies came out my first thought was imagine if the old ones and the new ones met
And great review btw
Well i personally feel that's utterly pointless unless i'm doing a review of the different looks of the Turtles throughout the years
optibotimus that's what I'm talking about or meant to say
Would have been perfect if Ralph came with his trenchcoat.
He is with Casey and it's raph
Zack Ryder from wwe
A TMNT can't throw a middle finger! Because it's the same as pointing!
why my batter fish don't eat?
i have dreams of owning them, I cry alittle inside with each review i see of these figures. Im waiting to see them on amazon and staying away from ebay.
I need these bad boys
so dope
They got the teenage mutant minja turtles
i do want a reboot for the TMNT :(
Blackout4500x
If they reboot..make it like the 1989 version but darker..with a R rating...that would be cool..
Rizwan Ramzan they most likely wouldn't they would try to stick to the old style kinda dark but not too dark
They should make it dark like the comics
Dam.. that’s hella tight

I have to disagree. The playmates figures were meant for collectors. As evident from their price point
I like how you randomly rant about NECA making their shit too big LOL I got so confused cuz I dozed off and I heard your voice raise and I just simply said wtf and laughed about your passion of the toys
Obtibotimus please do a review on the unquie toys challenger Optimus prime
Don't have it and can't really afford to buy it right now. Sorry
hello, you sell a Iron Man figurine .. they are a great fan .. on the net are very expensive .. ??
Actually 6 inches
COWABUNGA!!!!
I want it
Playmates is a joke
defender of the good they are assholes, ill never buy anything from them
😍😍😍😍
Ok
*BOSSANOVA*
400$ for this? maaaaaaan thats steep for me...
Also all the more reason I never bothered with the playmates movie turtles. They looked too much like they were from an animated version of the original movie. Blegh.
Totaly tubular
Wow a bad Shartimus wanna be. Damn
donatello is in a truck
