It's dope to see you gush over figs...haven't seen you do that in a min Ant...good clean review my dude...glad you happy with your purchase...can't wait to review them on my channel be easy.
Exactly. I hope the reboot goes full classic. I want these same suits not CGI, I hope they make these suits and make them look more realistic I mean its 2018 I am sure they can do something about it. And use little CGI to adjust the suits to look real. And I hope they turn their elbow pads and knee pads the same color as their bandana. God do I wanna see April from the 1989 cartoon on the big screen. Judging by how comic accurate James Wan the director of Aquaman is.. I hope he could make the movie.
@@Thrawns_Office no one will want to wear those suits again. They were heavy, uncomfortable, too hot to wear. The actors lost weight because of that. They look awesome and always will but we may never see those suits again.
Great review Anthony! These are Awesome! Little bittersweet though seeing as how hard they were to get. You would think there would be some way for NECA to show Nickelodeon or Playmates or whoever how big the demand is for these and allow them to only sell them through their site or every few months, something. The fact that this is what collectors want and the current major license holder doesn't seem interested in doing anything is frustrating.
Your enthusiasm for these shows me that you were a true turtle head as a child, it was literally akin to a little kid bringing in his favorite action figures for show and tell day in elementary school. The way you constantly refer to them as "Mikey" "Leo" "Raph" and "Don" really hit that feeling home, it was like you were holding something in your hands that you had always wanted or evoked a personal feeling of nostalgia that fellow fans completely understand. I know we have the 3/4 scale and I also know that they are AMAZING figures but Neca just has a way of delivering stuff that we thought we weren't going to be able to own and seeing these in hand is a real treat. Thanks for the upload.
1:46 I’m pretty sure that the turtles are supposed to be in the 7” scale and measure 6.5” because they’re actually shorter than the average human. I remember even 5’ 7” Judith Hoag (April) having some height over all of them-
I managed to get these finally on day 3 of the online sale and these are by far my most anticipated exclusive from SDCC! Absolutely fantastic figures! Great review!
Great video! If no one has mentioned it yet, Donnie's Bo Staff can be stored in the small space between his shell and the strap. Also, was anyone else creeped out a little by the slow push in on Mikey holding the Pizza? lol I can' t wait to my figs arrive in the mail!
Gamestop has the same figures as an exclusive but each turtle is sold separately!! I preordered mine today I was so stoked cause I missed on these guys!!
I am torn on if I will display mine. At 5k made, these should shoot up in price going forward. I got lucky on 3rd day to land a pre order. I have heard people say that they couldn't make more due to contract. That sucks if so. Everyone that wanted one should of been able to get one.
If thats true, putting a limit on how many they can make is messed up. I could see if if Nick or Playmates was doing some of their own but they aren't even touching the original movie stuff. Even if it came down to NECA being able to do the movie stuff and Nick the cartoons, I'd be happy with that.
Nice things is NECA released the 2019 set through GameStop either in a bundle or separately. They won't come with the same package or the pizza but will have all the weapon accessories. Sure beats paying a bundled on this set. They say they'll ship-out 2-6-19 (though that can change) So pre-order while you can. Glad I seen this video so I knew what to expect. Thanks!
I wonder what it is the prevents neca from fixing the hips on their figures. I stopped collecting the predator line because they just fall of the shelf.
Man i cant wait to get my set! I already have the 1/4 scale versions, but for some reason those 7” version looks even better to me, i cant wait to display them on my shelf!
Man I may have to pick these up as well. I loved the old school live action movies some of my favorites as a kid. These figures look amazing and my figure shelf is feeling a little too crowded with DBZ figures lol
I got these from eBay cause I missed out on the NECA sale. I paid almost double for them but you should see the prices now. If your thinking of getting these get them now! cause they will just continue to go up in price as time goes by.
I live in the uk any tips on how to the old set of 8 (with shredder and krang) for a good price. As they far to exspensive. I only buy about 2 or 3 things a year and have looked for set for ages ty
these are amazing. people are always craping om NECA but figures like this are proof that you get the best value for you money most of the time. i thought id be satisfied with having all 4 of the 1/4 scale but these are a must have
I have wondered why they didn't still use cloth fabric for the bandanas and ribbon fabric for the back of the bandolier strap of the Donatello figure's belt to hold the bo staff just like they did to the 1/4 scale figures. How hard could it have been?
Have you gotten word back from neca as to why the straps on Donatello’s shell to hold his bo aren’t there? I’ve been trying to ask the same things but i haven’t gotten a reply.
AnthonysCustoms I can understand that. No matter what, these are the best tmnt figures ever in my opinion. Thank you for the reply and keep up the good work. You are the best toy reviewer there is who gives their honest opinion. Thanks again.
I follow the feeds any this may be old news but I logged onto Gamestop and they are available for those who didn’t get them the first go around. They are 91.00 if you don’t want to pay the 300.00 on eBay anyways I ordered mine today and they ship to your door
I am so excited to get this set!!! Great review you lucky dog! Still need Donny and Leo in the 1/4 but getting this set, may not need to complete the set. Thx for the review.
Tried to preorder a few days before they released, but they were no longer taking preorders. Do you think Gamestop will restock? Looks like people are selling them on Amazon for double the price. Did I miss my window to pick these up without breaking the bank?
Originally I wanted these but after seeing a couple of reviews including yours I realized that the limited posing is a deal breaker for me. Great representations of the movies but I guess I'll wait until they hopefully make the IDW versions one day.
How did you get them so early? NECA said they are not shipping preorders till next week. I was lucky to score a set. Honestly, I would have been happy with just some custom sculpted head to put on the playmates movie set, but now I'm counting down the hours till I have these bad boys in my hand.
Just received mine in the mail and the paint looks absolutely terrible. Yellow paint over the mouths of all 4 turtles. Green paint overlapping onto there eye balls. Michaelangelo's eyes are so separated, looks like he smoked the worlds largest joint. Would really like to know how to get something similar to this set. 👍
Pretty sure Neca will release these individually at some point. Too much money to be made here, I unfortunately won't be able to get this exclusive nor the diorama piece that comes with it. Awesome figs/review nonetheless!✌🏼👍🏼
Is there any word that Neca is goin to release these to the public through retailers but worth diff packaging?? I know they have a new contract with Target.
AnthonysCustoms sorry to be blowing you up but I can't find any source on this. Because my friend said that I should hold off buying them on Ebay because Neca has a contract with target and that there's actual talk about them releasing these figures to target but in diff packaging. So I'm just wondering if I should go ahead and get them on Ebay or wait to see if Neca does release to the public.
theyre always trying to get stuff out as much as possible. there's no telling what they can do if they can figure out a way around the licensing. target has nothing to do with it though.
In the movie they were 5 ft 5 inches. So in the 1/10 scale of being 6.6 inches that's pretty accurate since in 1/10 scale an 7 inch figure equals to an 6 ft person.
no point in going to stores and buying decent figures all year only to have the best ones be sdcc nycc exclusive. why i stopped collecting seriously. yea lets see if ill live a couple more decades for these guys to rerelease thx neca
