In this episode, your favorite toy reviewer, unboxes and reviews the re-issued Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Giant Figures. As a lifelong TMNT fan, I’m thrilled to revisit these classic action figures, sharing my thoughts and insights on the re-issue of the Giant Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Examining each Turtle individually, focusing on their sculpt and articulation. He highlights the intricate details of the figures, discussing how the re-issued sculpts compare to the original versions. I also takes a closer look at the articulation points, demonstrating the range of motion and flexibility. He discusses any improvements or changes made to enhance the poseability of the figures.
Moving on to the paint and deco, the coloring and application of each Turtle. Pay attention to the small details, such as the eyes, belt buckles, and durability
No TMNT figure review is complete without discussing the accessories including their signature weapons. Size matters when it comes to giant figures! Compaing the re-issued Turtles to their original counterparts including Giant Slam Dunk Don, Giant Bebop, and Giant Rocksteady! They don’t exactly measure up but they are still a good figure in my opinion and not a bad price at all.

I still have my originals (need to figure out how to get the scuffs off them). I like these, but I don’t like them enough. I’m not a fan of the hollow legs or the fact that they use different plastics between the head (matte finish) and the limbs (glossy finish).

@tompollockjr144 Год назад

I think these Mandela affected me... I had some of the vintage giants as a kid. I just got these ones for my kids, and I swore they were closer or the same as the originals. Wow. Nostalgia is a powerful drug. Can't believe how different they are when compared.

@Pixel-dan Год назад

It is interesting isn't it?

@PixelPipes Год назад

I'm glad you did the weapon comparison because I thought they MIGHT be identical to the old ones, and I thought about getting one just so my vintage giant Leo would have two swords, but I think the loose grip would bug me too much. These are cool but the reuse of the heads, the overly shiny plastic, and smaller scale don't do it for me.

@Pixel-dan Год назад

Yea. The differences make it a whole new figure to me.

Yeah that missing paint was just probably a cost saving effort. I do love that they kept the “Comic/ Video game” colours (Turtles in Time for SNES you could choose em all green or have them “comic style” where Donatello is brown. It just lending some more colours so you’re not just buying the SAME figure 4 times over.

@@Pixel-dan To differentiate them from the vintage 1989. Otherwise, sellers will attempt to sell them as mint vintage figures. Similar to how when reproduction video games are clearly marked with repro so they don’t get sold as originals.

I absolutely adored my giant Leo back in the day. One of the best Christmas gifts I ever got. I probably would have bought this update if it were a true recreation of that figure, but it's fine. I like seeing this stuff out there, even if it's not for me. I do wonder if Playmates releasing these messed up NECA's own quarter scale line. They still owe us Michaelangelo, but he hasn't even gone up for preorder yet.

@joehodgson9217 Год назад

@@Pixel-dan yeah. They’ve released Raph, Don, and Leo so far. Just curious if there may be a Party Wagon-like situation where a Playmates release that’s similar to a NECA or Super7 offering is delaying the release of the NECA product.

@secondHANDtoyDEALER 10 месяцев назад

I usually don't like open air packaging, but in this case i do like it. Were any of the characters exclusive to particular retailers? I was only able to find Donatello and Raphael at Target. I never saw them at Walmart. And I only saw Michelangelo and Leonardo at Walmart and never at Target.

@FandomEntanglement Год назад

As a kid, TMNT came along right around the time I started outgrowing toys. My big thing of course was MotU, had almost everything and sold my entire collection (which I now regret) for a Super NES in high school. My wife however (who’s five years younger than me) was a huge TMNT fan and used to have some of the vintage toys. Not sure if she had any of the giants, but we do have the recent reissues of Michaelangelo and Pizza Tossin’ Mike (Mikey is her favorite while Raph is mine). Our 3-year-old son has been playing with Pizza Tossin’ Mike, which he just got for his birthday. I mean, his middle name is Michael after all (yes, named after her favorite turtle). I’ve been collecting Origins to try and get my son into MotU, but TMNT is something I also want to get him into (the best of both of his parents’ worlds). Unfortunately, there’s just so much out there and I haven’t really had the energy to go completely down the TMNT rabbit hole like I have with MotU. Hopefully, there will be some kind of TMNT reference book to check out in the near future like there was with your MotU book! 😉

@fortsinatorPS3 Год назад

I gotta say I'm loving all these reissues. As someone who loves collecting the vintage line but didn't grow up at the time, it's so awsome to me that the other day I was able to randomly find Rocksteady and Leatherhead in a store.

Hey Dan, just received your book in the mail, WOW thanks for all your hard work putting it together it’s exactly what was needed it’s like a visual blue print of all our childhoods, extra happy as I received it in the original mailer from the USA (West Australia here) so I have kept the mailer with a massive sticker on the end of the box “Masters of the Universe the toys of Masters of the Universe.

@timdakis2107 Год назад

Amazing! Since they're re-releasing the original figures again from 30 years ago, it makes me wonder should I keep them in the box for the box artwork while I have the original figures open. The only difference is the new year printed on it and the Nickelodeon logo. I wonder if they'll remake the Giant Movie Star Turtles again looking alittle different too.

@Pixel-dan Год назад

Yeah. it's a tough decision

@shawnortiz374 Год назад

I’ve been on the fence with these honestly. But I don’t really have a frame of reference for the originals, because I never had an interest in the big figures as a kid. But after seeing them in stores and now watching this comparison, I think I might pick them up. Thanks for the video 🙌

@Supermuttt Год назад

I never had the large ones as a kid but collected all 4 turtles and the two bad guys over the past few years. I had to make a few of their belts and 3D print their weapons. I'm happy to see them back in stores but I don't like how they all have the same head sculp.

@Pixel-dan Год назад

Yea. That's a bummer.

@spitt0110 Год назад

its surprising they made new upscale molds of the figures. I thought the mini 2 packs that re-used the exo squad style turtles were a cool re-use as well as seeing all these other figures get remade. still waiting for them to re-release scratch the cat. If I was collecting still I would probably get the Michelangelo.

@vriderch1360 Год назад

I never had any vintage TMNT figures. I think the first Turtles I had were the original 2012 series, which I loved. I only have the Mega Construx figures now, but I'm always interested in getting bigger figures. I've considered the Ultimates! a few times, but I don't think they're for me. I saw the Storage Shell reissues not that long ago, and was surprised at how chunky they looked. I know I'm not the only one who has had this idea, but if they did a "MOTU Origins" style line, I would buy them. The problem is that Playmates has barely made any new figures in recent years. They made the "Last Ronin", and now the "Mutant Mayhem" toys, but everything else has been reissues. I really want new figures.

@Pixel-dan Год назад

The Playmates Last Ronin is an amazing figure!

@porko882 3 месяца назад

@StrmTroopToys Год назад

The bad thing about playmates toys reissues of vintage TMNT figures is it hurts the values of the vintage originals. Why pay hundreds for a vintage TMNT figure when you can buy the reissues for retail price??

@Pixel-dan Год назад

They're not the same so it won't hurt the value. But maybe the price going down on the original will help those who have wanted one.

@greatgibby Год назад

I had no idea that these were out and was all in with getting them until you got to the head sculpts. I totally get reuse of sculpts, but when you do 4 of the exact same thing with just different colors... I'm out! These just come off as an easy cash grab for Playmates and no sir, I'm not for that when they don't care enough to make it special for the consumer. Thanks for the review and the heads up (no pun intended) on these figures! 😎👍

@Pixel-dan Год назад

It is frustrating. The belts are nice though!

@X.Q.Jonah- Год назад

For the most part I’m enjoying the reissues. I lost all of my childhood collections in a 2018 wild fire so this is an affordable way to reclaim some of that. Minor gripes on some lost deco hits and mutagen man missing his yellow accessories (I imagine he’s more expensive to make due to his construction so those got cost out?). I hope they put out some holy grail reissues of enemies and allies and do less of the gimmick/occupational themed turtles.

@Pixel-dan Год назад

So sorry about the wild fire my friend!

@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784 Год назад

Id put (reissue) Mutagen Man not including his accessories down to a reissue protection measure as these assesories are always missing on the vintage making him a more expensive figure. Maybe i am wrong here.

@SmerrillS 11 месяцев назад

Also, the old one, were literally 1 to 1 from the smaller action figures...

@TightPantsJack Год назад

Playmates went the lazy route and just gave them all Raphael's head. Given their track record, they likely lost the original molds and didn't bother recasting them from vintage figures.

That is most likely the case. They lost the mold for the pizza tossin Donatello.

@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784 Год назад

The reissues are great for anyone just starting out collecting the vintage line but less great for anyone who has invested a lot of money in any vintage figs who's values will have since plummeted. I can see this would be a real sore point with vintage collectors if they reissued a Scratch the Cat, or Hot Spot in the same way as if Hasbro did a retro of Blue Snaggletooth for Star Wars. I am all for it providing they make it easily identifiable as a reissue on all parts.

I wonder how a reissued Scratch or Hot Spot would go over. Or if they even still have the molds.
