@adamwest3266 personally I wouldn't say that about Pixel Dan. He has fairly critiques for years. He generally has more of a upbeat attitude, and comes off a sounding positive. Even though when you actually pay attention to what he is saying, it's negative. Reminds me of an old tactic call "build, break, build"
@adamwest3266 you typed a whole lot, to just say you are upset your memory isn't great. I was born in 84 and can remember things from 87/88. Hell, remember picking out a clawful in toys r us. So it's not possible the figure he got was on the shelf in 1986, when he would have been 4/5? Cool...
@adamwest3266 and here you are arguing something that wasn't said. We are 80s babies and 90s kids. Absolutely logical. Still, I Absolutely remember stuff from 87/88. Hell, I started kindergarten at 4 years old. We get it, you don't like us. No problem, that's your own personal issue. A odd one, but yours nonetheless. Would love if you could supply the video where pixel dan says he remembers finding it in 1983 when it first came out. As stated, I remember picking out clawful in toys r us. He came out in 1984. So, obviously I got him around 87/88. I'm assuming the same thing with pixel dan. Ohhhhh "hurt feelings" , lol. That's classic. I see where this is going. So unless you have something of substance to add to this, I'm good on responding. Unless I get bored during lunch or something.
@@Superabound2 Shit, for over $200 I expect that thing to be detailed and fully sculpted. I expect fully articulated, light up features and accessories. I mean, it's cool looking, but like any high end fashion piece or brand, it's not worth the price.
As someone who's been an action figure addict since the mid-90s, you do indeed have a problem man. I mean really, just with the Turtles merch. I totally get it that when some new and awesome stuff gets in your hands, your automatic reflex tells you to buy *ALL* the new stuff (and maybe some not so new stuff). That kinda thing leads to existential financial disappointment, wondering if you're a hoarder, contemplating on how much do you really appreciate the stuff and how necessary it is for the collection, then feeling burnt out and overwhelmed. That last stage can be the worst with possibly lowering your appreciation with what you have, because it ends up feeling like (to coin a drug phrase) a dragon you're always chasing.

@@ioncewasmikey Oh my god man...I've been traveling down that long road for years with wanting to downgrade. The goal was if I buy 1 new thing, I sell off 1 old thing.

Flipper Frank needs to make a video on how amazing this figure is and have Frank announce that he is selling the one and only version on Ebay at the low price of $250, this way you can get your money back 💪😆
Sofubi were once rack toys really cheap blow molded godzilla monsters with maybe five points of articulation. Now its become a part of the expensive art toy scene, where toy designers are both trying to capture the nostalgia of those humble toys, and make a captivating colorful art piece people associate with their house style. Sure it does not have a lot of articulation or features, but it might grow on you in a office display, its nice to appreciate while going through your routine.
We must never talk about "bad financial choices" in this hobby 😅. Btw there was a great Krang from a Japanese company - First Gokin NT01-S CEREBRAL - KRANG
I think this is the sorta weird ass thing thats meant more for collectors that don't go all in on a line. Like some eccentric person has this weird Krang in their living room, and thats it, along with, I dunno, a stuffed corpse or a Damien Hirst fly wall.
Thanks for posting this, I was totally on the ledge about getting this. After seeing this Krang is like a stress ball, woah, what a disappointment. You saved my wallet bro!
@@InnoVisionGames thanks bud, Apparently there’s a few people who think that we should just praise these things 100% just because but for 250 folks gotta know. I wish I knew before I bought
i kinda see their vision with squishy krang, but the lack of paint to make the details pop just makes the main focus of the figure kinda vanish and blend in with the rest of it
Thanks for the review! It looks like a big Play Doh set with a pink clay Krank in it. The front of the box looked pretty promising though. I hope you saved someone from spending $240 with this video 😅. Cool you made a video about it.
@dmc2008 They're cheap compared to this guy lol. But I feel ya. If you break it down, they're only $10/inch haha Edit- and honestly, I think they look a lot cooler than this Krang
@@ioncewasmikey it’s probably a similar price ration of inch to dollar for the both lines considering how big this Krang is. Similar materials, but half the size and half the price
@@ioncewasmikey Definitely! I like the more organic look and paint of Mondo's line. I can appreciate the stylization of Bulkyz, but overall they feel a bit simple to cost as much as they do.
I agree soft vinyls are wildly overpriced. I've bought a couple of the Super7 super sized, but I got them on deals and discounts, and only paid about $130 for each. That's about what they are actually worth to me.
I think the hard robot body and the soft brain fit perfectly for what they represent, I think i would be happier with it being like a stressball rather than a hard sculpt.
Even if you have it on a shelf or in a glass casing the Krang will crack and start to get gooey if dusty and if not it will still flake with age... its cool I bought a Nibbler {Futurama} with his litter box that is like 9 inches from top eye to floor and a 4x2 inch litter box with a chocolate chips worth of dark matter , that was 183 with Tax and worth it , but I feel you bro great video.....
Try not to feel too bad, MHR. It actually looks nice, and you had no way of knowing how it would feel. It looks like maybe a $150-175 value as a statement piece for a collection so you weren’t too far off, IMO. That said, $250 is only $75 less than the Classified Cobra Rattler, which is crazy to think about
I feel this. Last year I spent $60 on a 7 inch animated movie version Star scream in a local target store. he only came with four guns , a crown, a cape, and a throne chair. His torso can't twist or swivel. I barely even play with him :(
Mondo's Man-Thing has less articulation than this but it feels worth it, like the plastic feels good. I haven't touched this figure but I know what you mean, and that stress ball Krang is a big no for me. You know Mondo is gonna put out an insane Krang. Thank you for the honest review, I almost bought this. Stress ball Krang would've stressed me out.
I was not totally happy with the Man-thing(regular version) for the price. The paint was a little dull & the details were less "HD" than i expected. That said, its still the best Man-thing out by a country mile.
@@whaddyathink949 i gotta agree to disagree, I love the colors, I think they might feel "muted" because they are swamp adjacent colors, but I will say the psychedelic variant is radiant.
Yeah these days there making TMNT in anyway shape and form I control now my impulses because it’s crazy if you really think about it . I told myself I don’t need to buy everything TMNT just the ones that make me say hey that’s nice. I mainly stay with the PlayMates OG line and N.E.C.A carton line these days. It’s what makes me happy .
I'm trying to get focused myself. Trying to stick with Playmates (vintage & some of the newer stuff) and NECA Mirage. Might have to pick up a couple Archies too, and I do the NECA movie figures. Still missing a few key pieces from the movie stuff, but at least there's an end to those.
I can feel your pain dude. I’ve only bought 6 figures this year that felt I got what I paid for. Figma Gawr Gura Mafex mandalorian 2.0 And all 4 of the pizza club turtles ( I never had the originals)
@@PlvckyI'm so afraid to start with any Mondo stuff, but their vinyl Turtles (Ray Filet in particular) and the announcement of 1:12 MOTU 200X have me tempted.
So glad I didn't go through with my pre-order. Was getting to go with the HeatBoys Mecha Turtles. Style fits well. Thankfully they announced Krang for that line so I hesitated on this thing. Mecha Turtles are all worth it for sure. Aside from the nearly $400 I've paid for each of the translucent variants and the $280 for the gold Raph. 😂
I had the Krang, the Technodrome, The bus, and the Street with their sewer home thing below it when I was a kid. But I had only 1 ninja turtle figures Donatello and a foot clan which was my favorite
I get why some would like it, vibrant colors , has some playability, and rendered well. But if you're used to having solid action figures the medium can seem like it's missing substance. Or the very least heft. Also not for me at that price. Be well.
He's a small run vinyl figure that's more art than toy. In 20 years he'd be rare and one of those unusual pieces that is actually a collectible vs a mass market toy
Unless it is produced by hand in a Japanese soft vinyl factory- they are just capitalizing on the Sofubi phrase. Molds and manufacturing are super expensive to produce for soft vinyl toys and a artist who wants to make a limited run of figures can justify a $250 price tag because they aren't going to make much on the back end of production. Highly produced, licensed stuff like this should absolutely not go for this much
Just picked up their Mazinger Z vinyl and… I’m positively torn. Probably the largest Mazinger I’m likely to ever find… but it’s just not worth the price tag. And I paid a good deal more than Krang for that chunk of plastic! All this just to say, I feel you brother.
I think it looks great.. but the price point just isnt there for me. Also, i think stress ball krang is squishy so you can take him out. So i atleast see why that decision was made
Yeah... I bought the Bulkyz Raphael back in the day, and it didn't feel like it was worth $175. I stalled on opening it, and then Playmates announced that they had licensed the Bulkyz sculpts and were doing small versions for like $20 apiece, so I immediately sold it and got those instead. 😅 I like sofubi, but stuff like this seems too big and too expensive to be fun, at least for me. I think Mondo hit the sweet spot with their TMNT soft vinyl line--we'll see how they feel in hand!
@@ioncewasmikey I think he’s saying this is similar. It’s much larger, so it costs 250; but the turtles are still a big chunk of change with similar articulation issues
Vinyls like this have two appeals, mostly for Asian hypebeasts: - Limited release - High pricepoint They're not toys in any real sense. They're not made for series collectors. They're clout pieces. Here in Taiwan, you're mostly likely to see them as window decoration in a Vape Shop or high-end Sneaker Store. They're meant to sit in a window, be noticeable, and be a talking point about how much you blew on it.
8:35 Yeah that's how vinyl figures. When I touch them I always say this feels weird and cheap. Then I put it down and say Oh that looks cool. But the Krang was made very cheap and didn't know that.
lol I remember when you mentioned this on a video. I too was about to pull the trigger on this TMNT PATRICKSTAR. I think i know what you mean when you pick this up because Mondo's ManThing also feels this hollow. oh well, cheers! to dodging bullets lol.
If only the hands could be swapped out for some huge gaitlin styled omega-blaster canons, and have the squishy guy also glow-in-the-dark, so as to appear radioactive

The internet really tossed gas on the collectors. They realized they were not alone. We are many.
Man I think this Krang is amazing 🔥🔥🔥
WOW!! I almost bought this!! Suddenly I don't feel as bad about my 8$ bar of basil 🤣🤣🤣
Woof.. maybe might go with Mondo line?
8:35 Yeah that's how vinyl figures. When I touch them I always say this feels weird and cheap. Then I put it down and say Oh that looks cool.
But the Krang was made very cheap and didn't know that.
Is it's just a stylized funko pop?
looks really cool. but those designer figures are pricey. was it a limited issue?
Reminds me of Lego, I know they have to turn a profit but at some point the prices don't make sense.
Well i think it looks awesome!
lol I remember when you mentioned this on a video. I too was about to pull the trigger on this TMNT PATRICKSTAR. I think i know what you mean when you pick this up because Mondo's ManThing also feels this hollow. oh well, cheers! to dodging bullets lol.
That’s Hot Toys Prices! Damn son lol
If only the hands could be swapped out for some huge gaitlin styled omega-blaster canons, and have the squishy guy also glow-in-the-dark, so as to appear radioactive
