The Last Ronin from... Playmates?? 

Hahaha, I dig it. 🤣 I only like boxes when they are works of art. Like the SDCC Mutant Mayhem line!

@@NostalgiaUnboxed The box for Motherboard looks pretty fun both in box design and the art displayed on the box

@@schadenfreudeind totally agree!!

it's grime

Thank you! They are cheaper almost everywhere else!

It does look good and a nice variant for sure. Thank you!

Yeah, regular retail price is a bit high

If you can get it at a discount I would recommend it, otherwise it's best to just grab the NECA one (which also goes on sale a lot)

Hahaha. Stay tuned for 8pm

Just acquired it Saturday so absolutely!

@@NostalgiaUnboxed nice good for you 👍

I can do another at some point, but you can see an older layout in my Mezco 89 Batman April Fools video

@@NostalgiaUnboxed thank you, also will you review the collectors edition mutant mayhem figures

@@shizzle_fv I only have a few hours to decide if I’m gonna get them. Haha. Leaning towards “not” right now.

@@NostalgiaUnboxed yeah true I was thinking the same but I might get one just to say I have one and I think the boxes are pretty cool

They held back to throw it all out during Mutant Mayhem. Haha. This one has a production date of 2022 though. I’m just late. I’m super pumped for the other NECA brothers from the Ronin line

@@NostalgiaUnboxed You jumped into Turtle collecting at a prime time. Before 2018 all we had was the NECA Mirage set and Playmates "Classics". Now you have BST Action, Super7, NECA, SHF, Amazing Yamaguchi, etc.

I feel that!

Right there with you! A perfect complement for vintage collectors

I feel that! I think this Ronin is a nice way to hit nostalgia without getting the old stuff that can't pose well

I’d also say to take a look at Fury Toys “Not” Leonardo aka Spring, but his third party prices are ridiculous. It’s not Playmates, but the adult collector audience is there.

Yeah I saw that one a little late and the Not Donnie one. They are pretty sweet!

Nailed it

@@jeffwhite2280 not sure if you've seen but Playmates released remaster OG turtles with added articulation. Lots of hate from people that haven't seen them in person but they're super awesome. I want a second set already!!

I just got the NECA one Saturday, so I definitely will

They absolutely do!!

Hahaha, thank you

I think it's safely in the realm of Playmates and mostly recommend it for vintage collectors. NECA is my preferred route.

Hahaha, thank you

Dust is our enemy

Well, make sure they credit me, please! I saw it posted once without any mention

Just keeping it real! lol

sadness!

Playmates can be Ronin Jr trying to help Pop-pop

@NostalgiaUnboxed I didn't realize you are in Raleigh area, I live in Hickory, nice to meet a fellow North Carolinian.

@@quartercomicsart6610 heck yeah, that’s awesome.

I hope they do more like this

The NECA ronin popped up for $26 a couple weeks ago on Amazon. I grabbed one at a swap for $25. I’ll be reviewing it soon

@@NostalgiaUnboxed cool! Yeah definitely the better deal of the 2. But playmates is dope , be cool to see them do a couple retro in this fashion, thanks

I would love for them to push their adult line more

Yes, I am right there with you

It's wild. They certainly need to do more

Opened up the flood gates!

@@NostalgiaUnboxed The flood have been open. Originally I was just going to collect the 4 movie turtles

Yes! It''s pretty cool!

Yes, which is why I recommend the discounted option. Seems to be offered a lot of places for less

Excellent!

Nice!

Shoot, yes, thank you!

That’s very kind. Thank you!

For which part? The pants crapping?

@@NostalgiaUnboxed 😂 Cutting to the music and channel intro.

@@BeastieToys hahahaha

He fits in the new one but not in the driver’s seat

That's a great gift!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Yes, Cinemark! Best to get there quickly. It’s been several days since I got them and they barely had anything. This was the last Raph

@@NostalgiaUnboxed yikes the movie isn’t even out yet, thanks for letting me know sir

@@NaeroK87 I believe AMC will get something, too, but I have no knowledge on that

@@NostalgiaUnboxed oh ok cool 👍

I love it! Grab one!

I think the alt comic covers, art, and 3 year span of time since the release are the spoilers

@@NostalgiaUnboxed unless you weren't looking for them, since I missed the initial issue 1 and that price went up so high that I decided to wait it out until the hardbound release... which I have already explained in the previous message. Just not expecting story spoilers when I think we are just going to be talking about a toy... conversation should start and end there. Hell, I couldn't get that much from BECAUSE release slate so far since all Turtles are accounted for in the upcoming releases. But hey, it's your channel. I'm sorry. Just frustrated because I have avoided enough about the story and personally I have enough other shit going on that I'm behind on numerous TV, movies, and books, and I'm not the only one. Spoiler warnings, or something, can't assume everyone consumes at the same pace with recent stuff. Again, sorry. Not trying to be over of THOSE people, just frustrated

@@Tenucha well, people either complain because I don’t do research and talk about the history of the figure or they complain because I did.

@@NostalgiaUnboxed personally everything was fine up until "Michaelangelo is the last samurai, everyone else is dead" where I turned off the video and said "oh come on" It's like...no warning, especially after you said you hadn't read it either. I'm like "oh good, he's a clueless as I am. Just interested in, and reviewing new plastic of our favorite franchise " Anyways...

@@Tenucha perhaps the solution is to not watch something you haven’t read yet…

Wow I’m the first person to like watch and comment on this video thats awesome.

Thank you for watching. AND commenting!

Nice! Would love to see more like this from Playmates

haha, for the price this one is a loser! lol

Very nice! With plenty more to come!

Haha, thank you so much

@@NostalgiaUnboxed no problem man!

Thank you so much

that's really weird

@@NostalgiaUnboxed tell me about it

mmmm, beefy

Thank you so much!

What if they remade their retro line in this style?

@@KootenaiKing I’d love to see them do it. They could print money. It would have been nice to see them do it before Super7 jumped in to TMNT, though. Edit: Thinking about it some more, they could be successful with it if they can keep the prices reasonable. A lot of people have large TMNT collections already and might not be interested in starting new ones (I personally don't have the space for it!). But, if they can keep the figures to less than $30 and produce them at the same level as their Ronin figure, they could do OK. They'd also present a less expensive entry point than Super7 as well as a line of smaller figures that would be easier to fit on shelves. The TMNT market is just so crowded right now with NECA, Super7, the stuff Playmates already does, the "Fury" toys (or whatever they are called), BST AXN, the upcoming Mezco figures, etc. Playmates is in a unique position in that they are the granddaddies of TMNT toys...I just hope they aren't too late to make inroads into the collector space.

Yeah, the ankles could be improved. I just wish there was more paint

@@NostalgiaUnboxed I’m amazed he got as much paint as he did!

@@frankschuler2867 that’s true haha

how ridiculous

Awesome! I would love to see that

@@NostalgiaUnboxedI have sent it to you on Instagram my good man

I have messed around slightly. Biggest being a repaint of a Funko Mech from TitanFall 2 and then sculpting a beard to the Tobey Maguire Spider-man and painting it to look like me lol

@@NostalgiaUnboxed that’s awesome! I love doing small detail painting, buckles, snaps, a wash, or some dry brushing. Crazy how a small amount of paint can make a figure pop.

I appreciate this. At the end of the day I think it's just committing my time to it. I am the type of person that always has to be doing something productive

Ohhhhhhh, something new to check out. Thank you!

@NostalgiaUnboxed bodycount is the most violent edgelord and gory of the turtles comic about casey and raph going on a berserk rampage killing abunch of this johnny wuwu goons, then image tmnt vol.3 / tmnt urban legends because raph has his face melted off and has to wear caseys mask and he becomes shredder leo gets his hand bitten off Donatello gets riddled with machine gun bullets dropped out a helicopter from30 feet in the air becomes crippled cyborg with his carapace broken from the fall and he gets turned into a cyborg and splinter gets mutated into a bat mutant, and the original mirage comics are dark because they are nothing like the pizza junkie heroes in a half shell super heroes they are genuinely morally grey and behave the most like ninja who are assassins they kill shredder in issue one which leads them into the cycle of revenge of what orroku nagi shredders brother did which was caused domestic violence and attempted rape on tang shen and orroku saki was molded by the foot into becoming shredder for him to run a crime empire where yoshi and shen retreated to the og comic features tragic themes of them being the only ones of their kind what is their purpose outside of seeking revenge and practicing ninja and tons of messed up moments.

Totally
