The WORST TMNT Figures EVER: BST AXN Ninja Turtles 

Sorry, there's some random buzzing noise at the end of the "art" bumper. I'll try to edit it out later with the RU-vid editor.

5:14 The manhole cover isn't unique to this set, it comes with the Figuarts Leonardo. Granted, it's a slightly different & inferior sculpt, but they stole every single aspect from the Figuarts releases.

Always happy to hear a critical review on an action figure. I don't own these or think they're completely awful but comparing these to other collector market tmnt figures due to the drastic lack of knee bend and gummy weapons they definitley could be labeled as the worst for sure.

I dig the light green colors. Looks like the video games. But the double joints being just illusions is just so wrong

The Sewer lid did actually come with the SH Figuarts Leo as well so none of these accessories are original.

I actually got these on a lot cheap a few weeks ago, not realizing how bad they were. I have no idea what they were thinking with the articulated shell and replacing the heads is horrible. Though sadly, not the only Turtle line I have problems with.

So I'm a major TMNT fan/collector since I was 7 when the original cartoon came out. I've had multiple chances to pick a set up for about $5, and passed each time. Yeah, they're all not even worth five dollars. Even though I love getting every iteration of the Turtles, these aren't acceptable even if they were given away. They're an oddity, a sideshow curiosity. An abomination to show spectators on why you should steer clear of these "things."

After seeing aaaaaall the competition for tmnt figures right now, on top of the merciless fan feedback for any bad toy line right now, how were they ok with actually bringing these to market like this?

Well. The sewer cover also comes with leo sh figuarts

I had wondered about these. Though I'm not really a Turtles guy, but for some reason I just keep getting pulled into wanting a set of really good Turtles, so thanks for the advice @LioConvoy!

I always saw these BST Turtles as a bargain bin stand-in for those who can't or won't bother with the NECA toon Turtles.

I considered buying these since I wanted a set of affordable Fred Wolf TMNT figures. Thanks to this review, I'll rule them out unless I find any better recommendations.

I bought a Donatello this morning. I changed the left hand so it can hold it's bo staff and it keeps falling out. I had to change the hand back to the original hand. Kind of wish I'd left it sealed in the box.

Completely ignore the price and scale, sure its the worst. Name a other collector series of generally poseable figures that fits with the original line for the price. Have fun with that $150+ turtles neca set and the $500 turtle van, though

i'm not saying these aren't TERRIBLE. But they're not even in the top 50 for worst TMNT figures. Just spend 2 minutes on Amazon before you name your videos.

So yeah I'm surprised the word 'bootleg' isn't in the title, no doubt your next video is on "Loyal Subjects" being bootleggers and not the good ones. That last part of the video where Splinter talks to Donatello, I feel that conversation about 'bringing them into this world' should have been had with the Shredder...And possibly Krang. :D

I'm loving Birdatello... That ending... These are hysterical, Lio! 🤣

Get the Playmates classic TMNT 2 pack Turtles. Best Turtles on the market (that includes NECCA, Figuarts, and Super 7.)💯👍

They remind those youtube vids where some guy draws a pic for a kid to copy. It's generally recognisable but with a good amount of potato thrown into the mix.

Probably just cut a little bit of the bands off

My figuarts Leo had a sewer lid

They're obviously not NECA's outstanding version of TMNT, but those are expensive as hell now and they're still one wrong move from breaking off. Because.....NECA. What did you really expect for an $18 price point? For that price, these are fine. It's not like you're gonna go outside on your porch or in the dirt and play with them. They're far better looking than the vintage figures. These look like the TMNT Arcade versions. Stand them on your shelf and these are more than acceptable if you don't wanna break out more than $100 for breakable faulty NECA figures.

I mean, they did do an original Bebop, Rocksteady, Shredder, Foot Soldier, Krang, and Casey Jones. They forgivably redecoed the Foot Soldier into all of the arcade variants. They unforgivably redecoed the Turtles THREE TIMES into Mirage variants without adjusting the heads or removing the sculpted letters from the belts. On the other hand, they did a halfway decent job retooling toon Shredder and Foot Soldier into 4 distinct Mirage Foot Clan figures. This is a line of cheap, pointless shortcuts but I actually think they're doing enough stuff right that I could see the line improving. They'll soon be doing multiple TMNT retools and redecos. Fred Wolf cartoon looks, with no irises for some reason. Pixelated 8 bit decos that use a surprising amount of paint and actually cover the joints. And then there's Street Style, which looks legitimately decent. These Turtles are decoed exactly like the Fred Wolf toon, wear jackets (distinctly painted for each turtle), tennis shoes, and have unique accessories like Mikey's 3D glasses. These look kind of like a cross between NECA and screwball Playmates variants. I think the new jacketed arms will get better range. In fact, all of the newer figures that aren't actual Ninja Turtles get MUCH better articulation than the TMNT themselves. At the expense of very ugly joint/articulation cuts. But McFarlane does ugly joint cuts all the time too. So I'd say: try the non-TMNT if you like, which are much more original and don't copy Figuarts figures. The endless TMNT repaints don't fix the issues with the Turtles. But the Street Style Turtles coming out soon may be the line's first good turtles.

That last line made me a subscriber! Awesome review!

That intro skit was amazing

Why do they do this? I mean I know the answer, but still, why???

I'm loving Birdatello... These are hysterical, Lio! 🤣

I almost got one of these at Ross, but this video changed my mind.

Hmm price of the super 7 , movie turtles and the cartoons alternative neca ones vs these budget wise i thing owning Raphael and Donatello AXN are worth it...Then use 100$ for Neca Leo and Mikeo.... U can custom paint them to the green neca cartoons ones and if u disassemble the shells and trim sand u have torso crunch... But yes they made them more teenagerish less buffy but they scale in size compared to some oversized super 7 ones...

I have Leonardo, it's got loose joints but I have no problem posing him. Repainted his Katanas and soon will repaint the whole body and head a darker green. I don't play around with figure, but have him on my shelf, he looks great, most likely will buy the others. For the price point they're better than paying the ridiculous amount people are asking online. I grew up in the 90's playing the TMNT games on NES and watching the animated series so I like them.

These are absolute trash and shouldn't exist at all. It's even more infuriating that the company has the audacity to name their line with the "best" in articulation, features, etc and these figures break apart at the slightest touch, features the worst paint applications, and not a single figure in their BST AXN lines scale properly. What do I mean by that? Aang from Avatar is the same height as Zuko from the same figure line and it looks insanely goofy. I just want BST AXN to go belly up so they can never peddle this garbage to anyone.

i wanna watch this SOOOOO BAD but i can’t when it premieres 😔 and i just saw this on my recommendation page still liking and subbing though 👍

Never thought I’d be so interested in TMNT figures. Great vid!

I like the fact that they don’t cost an arm and a leg, also I would’ve killed for these as a child, but man swing and a miss

Wait for clearance and buy em for the kids got it

Doesn’t Raph normally sheath his sai in the front?

Good point, this is highway robbery.

ive been thinking that sh fig copy thing as well. I wonder if there is a likeness/standard that certain licensees have. at first glance I thought it was just a plastic version of the sh figurarts.

I have Donatello and Leonardo these figures could have been done so so better . Neck should reissue the 87 cartoon ones at walmart

I bought a Foot Ninja because he looked alright on the shelf. I think it might be the first time I've opened a figure and instantly regretted buying it. The hands felt brittle. One of their feet was just...Refusing to stand. He's also smaller than anything I collect, which was annoying.

Super 7 expensive and breaks. Neca middle expensive and breaks. Bst cheapest and breaks. Its just AMAZING value all around whatever you buy! My bst Raph came with his foot completely severed in package, and was not fixable - yay!

This company got really offended when I commented on their Instagram that their turtles look like trash

I always thought they were like the figure arts

They suck, I recently bought a donnie figure and his right leg won't stay in place and they're more like toys for little kids.

From the thumbnail alone they look questionable

Are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toddler proof by the toddler who throws toys?

I see you're taking notes from Moonshine Animation on doing figure reviews. :)

Actually SH Figure Arts Leonardo does come with a sewer lid

I mean they're not too bad I don't think if they were bootleg they will be in the stores but what do I know I'm not too sure

They are great when left in the box and when you don't know about the figurarts ones but I like so they are good enough for me

Yes more videos like this please

I’d like to know who which the first figures are! I really want them!

Sorry I said this but I like these figures but they don’t look as good as my favorite tmnt toy line which is the tmnt storage shell figures

Guys he is lying I got Raphael it’s better then the mutant mayhem figured they are articulated 31 movements come pare that to the mutant mayhem Raphael with 9 or 10 movements these also look accurate the the 1987 tvs show

I bought a street Leo and he felt so cheap and he was 19 like he had a bunch accessories but they were gummy and he was super stiff n his legs would pop off he looked good in pack but was not worth 20 dollar price took back and definitely got my money back

Damn. They are terrible. And I was so close to getting them.

Ur splinter voice is good lol

The figures are a lower quality because they are meant for kids

Great work here lio. Keep up with the good work 👏

I didn't care for these but when dorksidetoys put them for 10 bucks each I had to buy them lol

These have decent articulation and are easily modifiable. They’re underrated. There’s plenty of playmates figures that are way worse like the cartoon classics those are way worse!

I personally hate how Raphs sai holders are on the back when normally he holds his sais on the front of the belt. Glad I stick with NECA.

Eh, I disagree. I own worse

Dang, when i saw these in store i thought they looked awesome. Now after seeing this review it saddens me that the quality wasnt great for the price they were asking for $25 AUD

This is why they were still in the store when I left lol. They dead ass stole bits and pieces from every other company lol. And they are unprofessional of a company :/

I might get these just to repaint them. Those colors are horrible

Think I’ll just get shredder, Casey (if can find) and Foot soldier from this set

It just need a better headsculpts 😁

Never cared about loyal subjects figures etc. How is this company not sued? Lol

The bootlegs are better than these!

The actual bootleg SH Figarts are probably better than these.

Loyal Subjects should've just stuck to their Action Vinyl line. These attempts at actual figures look terrible!

they are pretty bad but competition is laps ahead.

Awesome 👍

That ending.......A+ LOL!

They’re good for low Budget

It's nice to have this ripoff option for $20 compared to the $200 for figuarts figures! Ridiculously overpriced figures imho. Super 7 ftw!

Excellent review, sir. My one and only experience with TMNT figures is collecting loose figures of the 2012 Nickelodeon Turtles, with little to no accessories, and yet it still feels like less of a ripoff than this.

BST AXN (The Loyal Subjects) figures are the worst out there. I bought a Sauron (LOTR) once and head crack right off immediately. They are very cheap, dollar store quality figures. STAY AWAY from this company

Just when I thought the riseoftmnt figures were the worst

I'll stick with super 7 and Necca

The sound clip of Gigguk starting to talk about Mecha anime got a few chuckles out of me.

Ngl the turtles suck but the villans are awesome

God, these are so bad. How's this possible?!

These are the WORST officially licensed action figures EVER! And you are the only person who ACTUALLY has the guts to call it out.

0:50 it's official Lio is a universalist! Antichrist, Illuminati, Dragon Ball, End Times Prophecy, False teacher exposed!
