As a kid Mikey was my favorite because he was the fun one and nunchucks were cool. As an adult I realized I’m more of a Donatello fan though. He’s techy/geeky and I really love when he comes in that brownish, greenish skin tone the way he was in the original toys and in these ultimates.
I got stoked too once I got all the turtles. Now I gotta open & display them all. I’m behind. My collection room is looking like a warehouse. Too much goodness too soon. The party wagon is on order too 🤦🏻
I don't have mine in hand yet (c'mon Super 7!) but I'm going to go ahead and say it...Donnie's alt/modern head is my favorite headsculpt in the line so far. Bebop and Raph would be right behind him. Raph is my favorite turtle, but the vintage Donatello was always my favorite toy of the turtles specifically because of the brownish green and purple; it just works.
I love the old weapons racks they come with. Primarily for nostalgia, but now as an adult, I cut those weapons out, clean up the weapons and rack, and paint them, bingo bango, 2 sets of weapons. Plus I make dioramas, so those extra weapons look great in their rooms/dojo etc.
They always give Donnie that closed mouth stoic look, suppose it's cause he's the main thinker of the group...but I imagine Leo outranks him when it comes to existential & interpersonal intelligence. Donnie's more of a highly functioning asperger's kinda Turtle lol.
@@Chalor. I think it's good that we got that because it's something different from the usual grimacing. Plus, it suits him. He is definitely the thinker and imo the genius of the group. I think Leo outranks him in terms of the ability to lead but in terms of anything else, it's hard to say. Perhaps Leo is the most gifted in combat but again, it's hard to know. It gets hinted at but it's not definitive. You could also make the case for Raph on that one but in other versions of TMNT, Raph is portrayed as being too rash and hot-headed which can let him down. We don't see that as much in the 80's show but I do think that Leo is more disciplined than Raph and definitely more disciplined than Mikey. I think Donnie is disciplined but his focus often lies elsewhere because he specialises in technology and mechanics. That is his primary focus whereas Leo's is to fight for justice and subdue the bad guys. That will be why he appears to excel the most in that department. He appears to be the one who is most passionate about martial arts.
Donatello is My Favorites Ninja Turtles I Love Super 7 Donatello Figure Great, Awesome & Wonderful TMNT Figure I Got My Donatello at Mall of America In Nickelodeon’s Theme Park I’m Very Happy I Got Him & My Super 7 TMNT Figure that I have now I like Donatello In TMNT TV Series, Movies & Mirage Comic too
Donnie is def my fave of the four, so I was pretty happy with this purchase, esp that alt head (looks like the one of the hardcover cover art to the IDW Turtles series). Though, one thing I don't know if you've touched on with the previous turtles was how wobbly and loose the head sits on the ball joint from the neck. It sits so gently on it that if I barely try to lift him by the head it will come right off. Not the worst thing, but it def can be an issue if I want to pose his head in a specific direction and gravity decides to help out. Great review nonetheless and loving everything you do for the community.
I’m still waiting on my Donatello and Casey Jones. Ordered them last October. Smh. Cool review 😎👍🏼 UPDATE: As soon as I was don’t watching this review I went to the mailbox and BOOM! My Donatello and Casey Jones were delivered. 🖕🏼😎🖕🏼 Super stoked. It’s a Christmas miracle.
Donnie is not my favorite Turtle but I really like how hw looks. The color of his skin is definitely different from the other 3 & the purple accessories really help him stick out 👍👍👍
They were replicating the playmates version, but I definitely agree they should've thrown in like one "normal" length bo staff. I mean we got three pairs of Raph's sai's...
@@Chalor. Yeah. They made the Super7 Leonardo figure's katana swords longer, so why couldn't same be done for the Super7 Donatello figure's bo staff too? I don't see any reason why not.
@ToyBro Wave2 Leo came with closed fisted, everyone did but Raph. However, The BBTS exclusive undercover Raph will have closed fisted, here's hoping the green tones for Raph mesh well
8:13 Leo looks so out of place with that silver on the belt. Maybe I missed Brian Flynn explaining why that's a thing. I'd really like to know why. Suppose it's another case of being at the mercy/lack of communication with the factory. Fortunately it wouldn't be hard to _paint it black,_ or even add the silver to the others.
@@khamla616 The good thing is fixing anything with black paint is super easy. You just need some gloss and matte black acrylic paints. So with something like this, it'd be a mix of the two. And after you're done, you'd never know it was a thing - little to no painting talent needed. I'll probably end up doing that whenever I get to opening them all.
I just got my Donnie in today.. and I only have Michelangelo (Raphael and Leonardo haven’t been shipped yet from BBTS).. but there’s a height difference between Mikey and Donnie.. Donnie being a bit taller. Anyone else’s like that?
I’m keeping the vintage inspired heads on mine. There’s some missteps with the uniformity between them with the paint on their belts. The nails on Mike. Raphs sai. Etc but I still like them. Glad to have the 4 together
