Yea I was thinking he was a little bigger. I don't have the first Mirage turtles, and if I mix him in with the new Lawson turtles, he's gonna look SUPER tiny
I was blown away with how much was included on this release... a fully articulated mouser, the baby turtles, the ooze, the rat that evolved splinter, along with 4 sets of hands, stick, tea pot and a Utrom (Kraang?) just for giggles.. easily the best value I've ever seen from this line.
Only thing that could of been better is if they would of packed in the extra brown robe so you had options to display him. Other wise very excited to find Splinter hopefully soon
After the whole blue Renet hassle I'm done with alt colors, if they want to release Casey and Splinter in their correct colors go ahead. I'm not buying those figures twice now.
It is interesting to me you say that Splinter was originally colorized as having brown clothing. I only have the black and white version of the mirage comics, but I remember on the cover for the preteen issue 'The Passing' Splinter had a white robe with a red obi. And in volume 2- which was colored from the start instead of being originally black and white- he had a red/mahogany kimono with white trimmings. Would it be in the first comics graphic novels that it was colored brown or something else? Either way it does bother me a bit that the kimono doesn't match either the cover or Volume 2. Personally I would like it best for it to be as it was in volume 2. I really like the baby turtles in this- they look so cute! I also like the utrom. Also I appreciate the mouser too, it seems the most accurate and has better articulation. Wonder if they would ever release a pack of multiple mousers? Because I would definitely be interested in that personally. Mousers are adorable even if though they tried to kill Splinter lol.
Will it hit Canada tho? Have any of the other mirage figures hit Canada? Not that I can remember. But then again I think these are the first general release figures they've done for this line.
IDW colouring. The brown robe was the colouring from the original First Comics graphic novel, and is the one that is generally wanted/preferred. NECA loves money, so did the colour variant first.
@@seeker2182 It hasn't, but given what they did with Renet last year (releasing the variant first, then the blue one), I'd wager good money on them repeating it again this year.
@@seeker2182 The brown Version was originally shown at Comic Con/Toyfair, so I was happy they went with the original colours. And now the red IDW version has pretty much come out of nowhere. So I guess I'll keep on waiting, just like I'm still waiting for the red shirt Casey Jones...
It was always TCRI. It stands for Techno Cosmo Research Institute. To my knowledge the only thing that had it TGRI was the second live action film. TCRI was how it was in the original Mirage comics which is what this figure is based on, so it would make no sense for it to be TGRI instead.
@@ToyShiz Lol thank you. I saw a similar comment on the Target website on the product page for one of the TMNT/stranger things figure 2 packs so I guess some people have just watched those old movies and didn't keep up with the comics. Or the 2003 or 2012 animated series for that matter.
Great review dude! Can’t wait for this figure!
3:13 I was not expecting Splinter to be so tiny compared to the 1st issue Turtles! He's so small!!

That's a pretty nice splinter impression 😂

Awee man that splinter impression was spot on!!!
Splinter impression 💯! Awesome review too as always!
Ha thank you!
And thanks for watching
Nice to see they updated the mouser figure. The original Mirage one only had basic hip rotation, the ones that came with April added opening jaws.
Only thing that could of been better is if they would of packed in the extra brown robe so you had options to display him. Other wise very excited to find Splinter hopefully soon
Yes, but NECA loves money, it HAS to be a whole new figure lol
I got one today & I love it. I didn't even realize it came with a Mouser. What I great figure!!!! Great review!!!!
Awesome video keep up the good work!
Hopefully after a few months damaged shredder, the turtles 4 pack and splinter all hit onlines stores like bbts. Just like the zog figure.
Battle damaged shredder is also hitting some Meijers stores now as well!
A quick repaint and you'd have yourself a pretty sick squidbillie mini
Man, this one is gonna be tough to find. Our only target had them street dated for today and can't locate them in the back.
It’s not going to be tough to find, eventually they all become easy to grab
@@ToyShiz You were right. It was a bit of a hassle, but they set one aside for me.
Oh excellent!! Glad you got em
Great figure but man paying almost $40 for such a small figure kinda stings a bit 😬.
Do you only have that one 2008 NECA Leo Turtle? Because at the begging you had Leo as Raphael
Shhhhhhh….I only have the one 😂
Great review!! Thanks

Ok, I have to get him since he comes with all the turtles and him pre mutated, he can go with my old Mirage turtles
This looks amazing! Hate the exclusive thing though since this might hit Canada by the end of the year

@@garageguy3096 Oh yea I just got some mirage figures from local shops and online collector shops like Toysnowman, Ecollectibles, and Toynado.
Does anyone know how these will be available to international customers? We have taken a beating from NECA lately.
Ali e xp ress
Anyone know if these new mirage figures will hit bigbadtoystore like zog and everything from haulathon did? 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Sweet

Colour variant?

Has the brown robe variant been confirmed. I’d wait for that if it’s guaranteed

I saw it in Target but the price 40.00, turn me off.
But I think the pricey figures are meant for you from trashing them.
I feel so excluded by this company.. cant find anything in store where i am forcing me to pay scalpers... that being said.. they should move on to idw
It was TGRI....it was never TCRI wtf?
read the comics.
It was always TCRI. It stands for Techno Cosmo Research Institute. To my knowledge the only thing that had it TGRI was the second live action film. TCRI was how it was in the original Mirage comics which is what this figure is based on, so it would make no sense for it to be TGRI instead.
You get a gold star and a high five this day!
Thank you!

And in this day and age where the internet exists at your finger tips
yuck !!
So the brown shirt will be an exclusive?
There’s been no info given on it
Neca should be ashamed doing there fans not even announcing the figures just randomly showing up
