For all those that were wondering, the chain sickle thing is called a kusari-gama(koosahree-gahmah). There's a weight at one end that is used to disable an enemy's weapon, and then the sickle is used for the final blow.
@optibotimus Do you think it would be possible to take and cut the plastic chain off and take a hot needle and poke it through the handles then add your own chain? I've had this idea in my head for like a week now but I don't have the figures and don't know if it'd be possible.
Thanks for your great reviews yet again! I am also a HUGE Ninja Turtles fan, can't wait till the shows and movie to kick off again~ Do you know when the classic ones that you are referring to may come out...end of the year?
Good review, Optibotimus. Also, something that I forgot to say on the Donatello review is that Donatello/in the new cartoon is being played by the original voice actor for Raphael in the 1987 cartoon. Also, Greg Cipes AKA Beast Boy will be voicing Mikey. I love the new voices and I can't wait to see the new cartoon. PS: The new theme that plays during the trailer? It's fantastic.
thanks for replying so quickly most of the time it takes people like 3 months to reply. By the way your videos are great and my favorite turtle is also Donatello. So you sir just earned a subscriber. COWABUNGA DUDE! :)
the prototypes are painted so nice, and have weapons with metal chains and everything. The plastic non painted weapons are kind of like a slap in the face but I still love them over all
Awesome review! Also when you talked about the stress marks thing with the nunchucks, the only reason why you got the marks is because you put them in starting with the chains. Your supposed to put them in starting from the other way to avoid getting stress marks.
The old. (original) Michelangelo didn't have a chain nunchuck. But it was a small plastic string that was quet flexibile. Also the old turtles had different skin tone too. Donnaltello was almost brown. Michelangelo was a vibrant green. Leonarde was in normal green and raphael was in between those.
did you see the neca tmnt? :) AMAZING, its sad that playmates dosen´t make the figures better but still I'm getting them but just wanted more detail and articulation on this turtles :/
saw these at toys r us but didn't pick them as the packaging wasn't as mint as i wanted them to be. but they only had donnie and raph. the rest were all gone. these are flying off the shelves! gotta go check out another location and hopefully i can get them 4
oh really? my mistake thanks for the lesson. Might have to see if I can find some extra chained ones for the 2012 version when the time comes for display purposes. another great review.
i love these figures i noticed the booklet has been changed i got my turtles 3 days ago and the booklet they came with was a little different they are just showng the new figures that are comming like dogpound and fishface awesome review as always
i saw the figures in my toys r us today and was seriously considering on purchasing the shellraiser van to compliment my neca tmnt but the van may be too small to fit those neca turtles...too bad, its a good looking van nonetheless
Heh, that's kind of funny, Mike was my sister's fav turtle as well. Really looking forward to getting these. I've not picked up a TMNT figure since my childhood, but something about these really speaks to me more then any of the other recent turtle toys have.
did you watch the series premiere of the new teenage mutant ninja turtles because I did. If you did please reply with your thoughts of it. I personally loved it.
Man, that stinks about the nunchucks. They look pretty neat, but it's too bad the in-between part doesn't have string, rubber or a tiny chain to link the two pieces. I realize that would make the figure more pricey, but I feel it would be worth it. Too bad putting them in the belt causes so much stress. I'd hate to see them break. Good to know a future Mikey figure may get the cool metal weapon treatment. :D Take care, Optibotimus & thanks for the review. :0)
I don't understand why they gave Donatelo and Michelangelo bios with the weapons that they don't have anymore. I know Nick tried to change their weapons so that they would also have blades, but that kind of backfired so they stayed with the classic weapons.
great review optibotimus,,,,,,i reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllyyyyyyyyyyyyyy like the new show, what do u think of it????great , good,,bad,,please respond :)
i honestly hate how they gave mikey and donny blades that deploy from their weapons. mikey has used his nunchuck blade-axe-blade-nunchuck-mace-thingy a lot.
All I have to say about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon is that all the Turtles stay the same, have Bebop & Rocksteady, Sheddar have a Technodome, Leatherhead a poacher with a caijun accent a bad guy, and Baxter Stockman a humaoid fly not a robot. Otherwise I'm not watching it.
i saw the trailer and it reminded me of that horrible show called Fanboy and Chum or whatever its called. The animation i mean, not the show in general, i just hope the show is good enough and gives us all the old characters we know
dont turtles only have 3 toes anyway and plust they are mutant ninja turtles not big ninja turtles the 3 toed feet dont bother me either very nice review donatello's review was good 2 when are leo and raf gonna be up
only fault with these is the label nickalodeon everything else is cool and ive been watching the tmnt since i was like 4 but i dint think nickalodeon should be given the rights to animate it
wow that sewer set pisses all over that tower of omens I keep seeing on shelves. Don't know if this new show will be any good, but I do like the look of these figures
fuckin playmates says these will be available internationally spring 2013!! fuck!! and they placed rules on online stores so that they cant ship the figures out of the US! check BBTS! so we have no way of getting these!

Excellent review, can't wait to see the rest, especially the new figures based on the original 1987 cartoon.

How is it a stealth sword if it lights up?That doesn't make any sense at all
When do the classics come out?
i saw the figures in my toys r us today and was seriously considering on purchasing the shellraiser van to compliment my neca tmnt but the van may be too small to fit those neca turtles...too bad, its a good looking van nonetheless
Heh, that's kind of funny, Mike was my sister's fav turtle as well.
Really looking forward to getting these. I've not picked up a TMNT figure since my childhood, but something about these really speaks to me more then any of the other recent turtle toys have.
when is the classic figures officially comin out?
I put chain. and if you whant to go and put in. costomsing mcheangelos nunchak with a real chain.
Can you review the hover drone
did you watch the series premiere of the new teenage mutant ninja turtles because I did. If you did please reply with your thoughts of it. I personally loved it.
i bought Mikey on ebay i can't wait to get him Leo is my favorite turtle though
Mikey is my favourite. Also for some reason my only ninja turtle is a tmnt: fast forward Donnie. Don't ask why.

brings me back to my childhood dude
Optibotimus can you do the new MMX cycle next
Michelanglo was and always will be may favorite Turtle! cant wait to get him!
no you misunderstand i was telling you how to pronounce it and what a kusari-gama is im not mad you just didnt know what it is i undderstand
oh I forgot to mention did you hear about the new metalhead figure coming out?
i have Leo and Donnie then i'll buy Raph later and i have Splinter and Kraang and shellraiser
I know its Nickelodeon but I dont like how they didnt put any paint detail on the weapons
Not trying to be a jerk, but he does compare him to two previous releases of Michaelangelo, one of which is nearly ten years old.
I got the classic turtles and I was a bit disapointed mikey isn't smiling like he is on these
thank you for the reviews
:/ hm. same problem with the chucks as we had with the original.
great review optibotimus,,,,,,i reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllyyyyyyyyyyyyyy like the new show, what do u think of it????great , good,,bad,,please respond :)
I hope that the classics comes with good arts and weapons !
Awe he's so adorable
i honestly hate how they gave mikey and donny blades that deploy from their weapons. mikey has used his nunchuck blade-axe-blade-nunchuck-mace-thingy a lot.
Mikeys form optibotimus really speaks the size of the guy
um its pronounced koo-sah-ree ga-ma and thats NOT the same thing as nunchuks a kusari gama is two small hand scythes chained together
Idea: put the chains in warm (not boiling) water.
What do you think of Michael Bay getting rights to make a TMNT movie?
All I have to say about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon is that all the Turtles stay the same, have Bebop & Rocksteady, Sheddar have a Technodome, Leatherhead a poacher with a caijun accent a bad guy, and Baxter Stockman a humaoid fly not a robot. Otherwise I'm not watching it.
Just got mine! Very cool figure!
okay... It'a cool that you do stuff solo
The party dude was always my favorite turtle, but if Mikey is gonna have a skateboard I'm gonna have him stay with the Cheapskate toy thing.
You have it on a chain in the battle shell figures
Let me guess: Is the part of the animation that has you on the fence the Teen Titans-esque deformed facial expressions?
My favorite turtle is donnie and leo
did you already see the trailer for this show??? its cool! ^_^
No legomaster
nice review
(theme music from the 2000 tv show) The Turtles make a comeback ,turtle power.
I can't wait to get these guys!!!!!!!
Hey, 'Botimus, for your 700th vid, have your sister in it! :D
How funny lol... My favorite turtle is Michelangelo and My sister's favorite turtle is Donatello...
This Mikey is defenetly cutest of four turtles from this line.
Haha my uncle used to think he was Mikey when he was a kid...at least being bald matches!!!!!
i think it was good for a premire but i can say anything cuz i havent seen the WHOLE series
ahhh gosh seeing the weapons on the sprews hurts they could at the very least cut it out
I dont understand how that would make a difference.
My favorite teenage mutant ninja turtle is Michaelangelo,, and I have the big figure
i saw the trailer and it reminded me of that horrible show called Fanboy and Chum or whatever its called. The animation i mean, not the show in general, i just hope the show is good enough and gives us all the old characters we know
love the video my one day i buy it not sure
im sry but im super esited about the new foc tfs
dont turtles only have 3 toes anyway and plust they are mutant ninja turtles not big ninja turtles the 3 toed feet dont bother me either very nice review donatello's review was good 2 when are leo and raf gonna be up
I think they made Mikey the smallest turtle to stress the fact that he is youngest of the four....lol
The new cartoon is way better than that old cornvall show from the 80s
only fault with these is the label nickalodeon everything else is cool and ive been watching the tmnt since i was like 4 but i dint think nickalodeon should be given the rights to animate it
wow that sewer set pisses all over that tower of omens I keep seeing on shelves. Don't know if this new show will be any good, but I do like the look of these figures
Playmates can do better, so why don't they?
bring chains to mikey, and pain the weapons like they should be.
granted, i am asian, but i do not know much about the samurai or ninja.
haha yeah! well whatever, i just wanted more for this turtles! :) god review and thanks for the reply : )
