TMNT NECA Napoleon Bonafrog Colossus of the Swamps Review w/ Discussion Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 

Haha yeah I can totally see that crazed look being on both. When I looked at Genghis’ head at distance in that Napoleon punching Leatherhead shot I thought he looked a little like Wander Mcmooch from Fraggle Rock.

Man what a bummer! At least I know now mines not the only one haha.

I don’t blame you! I still watch cartoons all the time! Real Ghostbusters especially!

Hahahaha

As usual, you always know what I missed! I should have rewatched the episodes with genghis to find that head. That shot is absolutely hillarious! I know what you mean about things taking up too much space. This line is getting huge. Not to mention the price of everything keeps going up so I decided to start cherry picking the Super7 lines. It just gets to be to much money to justify. Thanks for the compliment on the stop motion! I started awhile ago trying to make an ongoing narrative with the action shots, but pretty recently I decided to start moving them if I can. It’s a lot of fun and I get to use my skills as a storyboard artist to make them. I probably won’t always do it because it takes so much time, but I absolutely loved the new heads and the clip wrote itself. I havent seen radical retro turtle toy talk so I’ll have to check him out. Thanks again!

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Haha yes! That’s what I love about the toy too. He’s just a massive dude ready to pound some Technodrome punks!

Man I appreciate it! Things were pretty crazy a few months ago so I’m glad to try to work through this huge pile of stuff I have. I do think Neca is releasing too much at once every three months. Just release a couple things every other month. Both in March and June the Tmnt merchandise was insane. Put out some other brands stuff for a little bit haha.

@@razrentals8897 Absolutely. It was pretty shocking and annoying when I found out about that last event, cause we didn't even really get a breather since the one before that was not that long ago. But yeah, it mainly comes down to spreading things out a bit. Or at least not release figures from all the different lines at the same time, cause I collect 'em all 😬.

Yeah, absolutely with the only thing holding those sets back where the head reuses. I was very un-NECA like for them to not at least give us four unique heads. So yeah, it's awesome now we can do that, except these two new ones are from the way they looked later in the show, and the previous two are their first appearance look. So now we kinda need a total of four more heads so we can give them unique looks for either the classic frog design, or the mudskipper lookin' versions.

Agreed, it’s nice to be able to have all unique heads now! Hopefully we’ll see more in the future.

Thanks!

Yeah it’s Atilla. All the other frogs use their weapons at different points in the show. He does nothing at all except hand the Shredder some sacks of money.

I’ll have to check other reviews to see if they had the same problem.

Thanks for watching!

He was included in a Neca cartoon series 2 pack with Slash.

I actually shot a clip of the Napoleon standing next to a few larger figures, but I didn’t like what I said. I just sounded like I was rambling and for me to say that you probably know it must have been a lot of rambling haha.. The marvel legends juggernaut is roughly the same size as Napoleon. I think the recently released marvel legends rhino is built off of the same body with a few differences and he cost $40. Napoleon feels a little heavier, but he doesn’t have anywhere near the range of motion the legends have. Both brands offer little paint, but Neca at least has the shading. Legends has a lot more detail. Legends are a bigger brand so maybe them selling more allows the price to be lower. I don’t know. I wish when I purchased him he was $50 haha. That $5 annoys me now. I also got Silverhawks buzz saw and monster recently. Buzz saw was $55 too but he comes with a lot more accessories and intricate parts. Like all the rotating buzz saws. He feels a little flimsy though like he’s gonna fall over a lot and his waist has a tiny peg. Monstar is a lot taller but he feels pretty light compared to Napoleon. He was $85 and he seems like a lot more money with less than buzzsaw. Anyways, that was the most of it. At least if Napoleon was $50 that’d be closer to the legends price. I have more of a problem with the 4 packs like you said, I don’t know how the $150 price tag makes sense at all except maybe it’s more expensive to ship the larger box. I think they should be $125. It doesn’t even have as much stuff as the TID 4 pack.

@@razrentals8897 I have those Legends too, but not the Silverhawks unfortunately. Just one of those, _'can't collect everything I like'_ kinda things. I'd love the non powered up Monstar. It is crazy to think a Super7 or Legends figure has more of a perceived value compared to NECA. And with the whole $150 4-packs, maybe it has something to do with the retailers pushing NECA to up the price? I was thinking maybe simply due to them being the brothers, there's pressure from Playmates/Nickelodeon to give them a higher price point, but that doesn't explain the other $150 ones like the Pre-Mutation set.

I am but I had to take a few months off in the beginning of the year so I’m trying to catch up with everything. From last year I didn’t get to review the premutation 4 pack yet but I started writing it. I just need to shoot it. At the moment I’m currently working on the rex 1 and the 5 bebop and rocksteady gang members. Is there anyone in particular you’re looking for? Thanks!

Yeah, I just double checked. 54.99. Even to order it from Target today it’s still 54.99. I don’t know what’s up with that

Hahaha. Don’t worry I’m not that grossed out by it. I just think if it existed in our world and it flew by me I’d squish it without thinking twice.
