TMNT Ultimates Super7 Slash (Glow in the Dark) Review and Discussion Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 

Neca did a good job listening to its critics. The hips on the original Tmnt figures were pretty crappy and then then replaced them with some pretty great ones.

That I what? Haha you got cut off and no I’m wondering what you were gonna say. At this point they should have kept for slip cover for moc collectors. It was a staple of the brand for people’s displays. The star is the biggest problem for me. He looks unfinished without it especially since there’s a space and peg for it. How much could they have possibly saved for not including that little piece of plastic?

I’m glad you got him and liked him! I’d hate to leave someone disappointed if they bought something based off of my review and didn’t like it.

@@razrentals8897 Now that I see the regular Slash on sale for $20 on BBTS, I've considered picking that one up, but then again, I'm so happy with Glow Slash, maybe that's enough Slash for me. Unless they do a Music Slash with guitar and leather jacket, then of course, I'd get that one 😆😉

@@seanbeckett4019 I’ll buy that only if he wears a top hat haha.

@@razrentals8897 😆 I always wondered if TMNT Slash was named after GNR Slash. It would have been the right time period, 1990.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed!

@@razrentals8897 very much so. Been on a RazRentals marathon as of late. I can heavily relate to your perspective and thoughts on a lot of these figures.

@@NeonSupernovaUPW thank you! I’m glad I’ve been keeping you entertained. My videos are long, but I always kind of think of them as podcasts with pictures.

Good call! Light protection is probably more important for a glow in the dark figure in case you don’t want to wear out the glow feature over time. That’s a bummer that this guy won’t match your other figures. I knew that would be a problem for moc collectors. Just curious, where did you see my video posted?

@razrentals8897 no didng u make a tweet cuz i think preternia reposted it. Pretty sure i left a disappointment comment. Thats when someone else mentioned the slip cover but it was of slash!

@@TheIMMORTALKAHNHD no I haven’t posted anything on twitter. I was just wondering, it’s nice to know someone was sharing the video!

@razrentals8897 man im so sorry raz i tried to find the post but couldnt!! But for what its worth yeah the no cover thing outta box blows ESPECIALLY FOR MOC ppl. I actually pur my figs back in box's as opposed to ben or something so yeah

@@TheIMMORTALKAHNHD no problem! Thanks for looking!

That’s a bummer. I agree the cover probably would have helped out!

Wingnut and Screwloose would be amazing, but I’ll be happy if they make whoever they can.

If you could only get one he’d be a cool one to get. Yeah him and Surfer Mike probably look good together. I should have thought of that!

@@razrentals8897 I've been reveling in the late 80s/early 90s wild aesthetics lately, so this is right up my alley.

It’d be nice if they could only produce the slip covers for people who ordered them directly from them and then leave them without for retail stores.

It’s a month late but I just saw your post & agree. Packing is too excessive & price points. Way too high. I’m fine with the articulation. But at the old price point ($44). But @ $65… Brian’s in the realm of sh figurearts, loose collector, Furay and similar lines. And they are highly articulated lines. & when ultimates get highly discounted regularly & QC issues pop up more frequently, I lose faith in buying it at full cost, let alone pre’ing. The only ultimates I’d. Considered pre’ing are the back metaled (or vac metaled, unsure of the correct term) silver hawks. Only because this is an old technique no one is doing. & ramen toys recently attempted silver hawk. For $99. Again, better articulation but not back metaled.

Haha I’m trying as hard as I can to ignore that missing star.

Yeah, I’m leaning towards him being the best. That’s a bummer that he won’t fit in with your other moc figures.

They say their retailers told them they didn’t like it, but that Slash was a Super7 store exclusive until it wasn’t. They should at least keep those items for the stuff they sell directly through their store.

Agreed, consistency is important to keep your fan base happy!

I will once I get her. I still haven’t got her yet, but I will probably buy her now since she’s up for preorder on the Neca store.

Mutagen Man was a cool GITD figure too! I’d like they to make some crazy color GITD Genghis Frog next. I’m glad you like the figure animations. Those are a lot of fun to do and I usually have a lot of fun planning them out. I went to school for animation and use to do storyboards a few years ago so I really try to tell a fun story with dynamic compositions. I think they’ve been getting better and better so it’s nice to know someone likes them. I was pretty happy with the Napoleon Bonafrog Colossus one and the latest Genghis Ultimates review too. Genghis looked like such a beast as he attacked all of the villains with that crazy Venom looking face he has. Eventually when I put my Surfer Mike review up I have one in there that I thought also came out pretty cool.

Yo!

I think the star is the biggest let down. I didn’t notice in the shots, but I think they should have included it since he now looks unfinished.

@@razrentals8897 I have to assume that was an oversight. That star had to be in the same sprue as the others, so the factory likely just threw them away due to Super7 being asleep at the wheel and forgetting to put it on the sheet. The missing ninja star was even pointed out to them when they solicited, so they have no excuse. The packaging was supposed to glow, though. And I view the Glow in the Dark figures as special figures with special packaging. No slip cover is rotten. And the glow on the figure itself isn't as bright as some others, so they used less pigment on the glow than in the past. Just so disappointing, since I loved the regular release of Slash.

@@SmokeForPants yeah the slip cover is a huge disappointment to people that want all of their figures to look consistent. Who do you think glows the best? I thought this figure glowed well, but looking at my pictures it was probably Muckman. Baxter and the foot soldier barely glow at all for me.

@@razrentals8897 I was thinking of Muckman and Mutagen Man, since Slash's base color is most similar to theirs. Baxter was weak, and I never even pulled the Foot Soldier or the Ooze turtles out of packaging,. I wasn't expecting much glow from the turtles, because they're transparent. I should probably pull them all out to compare.

@@razrentals8897 I hadn't watched your whole video yet when I commented. Yours seems to glow better than mine. But maybe I'm misremembering how well the others performed.

I didn't realize they are more expensive than the standard version. I haven't bought any glow in the dark versions yet.

@@seanbeckett4019 yeah he was $60 to begin with. I think the original Slash was $55. The turtles were like $65 I think. I think they were more expensive due to the green glow in the dark plastic.

@@razrentals8897 I cherry pick TMNT Ultimates, so a few extra bucks for something I really like is okay. For completionists, it must be a huge pain, though.

@@seanbeckett4019 yeah, I’m going to do a lot more cherry picking from now on. If they can’t use the playmates designs and I don’t like the new sculpts they make I won’t get it. Originally I passed on Rat King before they took him down to resculpt him. I’m probably gonna skip most paint variants from now on. I’m not getting that toon Shredder or Mirage Casey Jones. I don’t even understand how he can be considered Toon Armor shredder when he’s not wearing or shirt or has the flap in front of his pelvis.

@@razrentals8897 I liked the suggestion you made, in your Rat King video, about how Super7 should keep the vintage Playmates aesthetics and gnarlyness, but just change up details, add new details, whatever, keeping the original spirit of weirdness and grossness of the character, but interpreting it in their own way. It doesn't necessarily have to be a rote copy of the original Playmates design, to interest me.
