Mine showed up from 5K Toys yesterday. My surprise favorite figure of the year. I had to take him to work with me today to keep posing him on my desk. 3rd party figures are quickly becoming my favorite thing to collect.
I got this Turtle - after not having ANY Turtle figures since I was a kid in the 90's. I absolutely love it. The paint, the size, the disproportionate hands and head. All of it. Personally, I think they nailed it and I want the whole series now.
@@yobama6052 I know right? What a moronic reply. Good job explaining what a pointless reply it was other than to be a troll. I initially wanted to reply that I agreed completely with the post about “nailing it” cause yah it’s so good. Everything, the weapons, the paint… it’s a cool little dude! :) (but I had to comment once I saw that ridiculous post)
This is the kind of detail and proportions I wish they would do in a show or movie. It's a weird cartoony shape, but the textures and colors really scream turtle.
I don't play with action figures. I started watching you with my husband. I still watch you one to learn more. And two your just soooo funny. Thank you. Keep being awesome.
I love this guy. The size of the body and alt head are immediately jarring, but it grows on you. We're getting such great work from different companies, it's cool to see an unknown come in, put their own spin on it, and absolutely kill it. Can't wait to see the rest of them.
I don't get these small head comments. I have the fig and it looks perfectly normal to me. Look at the head and then the chest for ratio. Then look at a pic of a muscular man and compare their head to chest ratio.
FANTASTIC FIGURE! I cancelledy preorder after seeing how short Leo was. Just paid almost double the preorder $ this week for him! The paintjob is worth the price tag. ZERO REGRETS!!!
So I got both this and 5K's Devil figure at that same time. The size discrepancy made me go "I spent how much on this??" But then after playing with it a bit and looking at all the incredible paint apps, I do feel he's worth it. I would absolutely like to fill out the group.
I've got the 4 playmate figures and love the unique sculpts down to their individual footprints. These like said are next level and I cannot wait for my spring and later autumn plus the accessory pack. I'm really excited to see winter and summer.
I love the design and paint on this guy, and if they reissue him, then this may be my first TMNT (or Not TMNT) figure. Though I'd probably keep them in the samurai looks too. The small size is definitely noticeable when mixing him into other lines, but it also looks really good next to the Furay Planet Croc. Having four small turtles up against a huge crocodile man just looks way cooler than if they were bigger.
The difference in materials on the belt almost looks like it’s part of the design of the belt. Like you can imagine that it has a cotton layer under the leather for softness against his skin?? Maybe??? Yah….. haha… I love the feet too! The detail on the bottom is outstanding
This figure is soooo cool! I like the turts but I’ve never collected em or bought any since the 80s when they had those chocolate brown colored soft plastic weaponry, (haha, so fun though) but this is super cool!… I love how similar it is to the playmates… and those tanto swords are exquisite!
Love this figure! First fig I've bought since a was younger. Grab a couple bronze necklace clasps and the chains will be way more fun to play with. My belt cloth did come off after a few hoursof posing but a little super glue and good as new. Thanks Robo for bringing back in.
Awesome review as always Robo!! This figure is teeny but mighty!!!! I love him!!! FYI, he was up for pre-order at a website called 5ktoys…. The pre orders are shipping out right now and the website has said if they have more in stock after the pre-orders are shipped out, they will be putting more up for order soon
Love the design and painting is top notch. Definitely picked one up, might pick up another to solve the dilemma of picking between ninja and samurai lol
10:52 and 10:59 cracked me up!! I bought this for the Ninja version, but after opening him decided he was too cool and I needed another for the Samurai version. Such an awesome figure!
The main reason why i started this line was because Splinter was tempting, and once i seen my second favorite turtle Mikey look so good, i knew i had to have them.
Thanks dude. I may have to pick this up when/if it’s back in stock. I think it’ll look good with some Mythic Legions. The price seems like a good value to me
This figure is stellar. I could have done with him being a smidge bigger. It fits nonetheless for me because they were small in the comics. Definitely down for Not-atello and the rest of the gang.
I initially passed on this because of the price, and I was a bit skeptical of ordering from the company’s website. After seeing this review today, I had to have it now, price be damned. I Googled the company to see if it was possible to still get one. Well, today must’ve been my lucky day, because they actually had additional stock listed for sale. I even checked their IG page and they had a post about it.
Those original 2012 nick turtles are some of my favorites and for fun per buck almost unbeatable. Sub $10 was a steal. I really like this. Looks great next to those old figures, but with "1/12" figures creeping ever larger, I don't know if he's got a place. Sculpt, price point, and everything is great just maybe not great for me. But I missed out so oh well.
If they creep any larger, they're not "1/12 Scale" anymore. They're gonna be the ones moving out of place with their earlier figures. "1/12 Scale" is not a movable number... it's a scale: One inch = One foot. If you have a 7" Batman figure saying it's "1/12 Scale," then they're either saying their Batman is 7 FEET TALL for some reason, or they don't know what they're talking about. These Turtles are supposed to be a little over 4 feet tall, if they were life sized; so they're a little over 4" tall. This isn't opinion, but lots of collectors keep acting like it is. It's literally how "scale" works.
@@VanDavis it because a lot of collectors do not truly understand what 1/12th scale means. Collectors mix up scale with size constantly. A lot of collectors think 1/12th figures means 6 inches, as humans tend to be around 6 feet; This leads them to think that all 1/12th figures are meant to be 6 inches, even though other creatures and characters vary in size, including humans. 6 inch is a size, while 1/12th is scale. It does not help that companies misuse the 1/12th scale label, as something like NECA, McFarlane, and Mezco tend to use 1/12th a bit too liberally. If collectors actually took the time to understand scales, then they would not be disappointed, even though this turtle figure clearly stated it was 4.7 inches in the description.
I got mine the day after a work trip, I thought idk if I like the size. next to my Raphael and Kasey Jones 2pk. but I love the look both Ninja and samurai. now all I need is the family
hey Robo, the grey part at the end of the chain has a c clip that can be easily detached, slide the chain in through the holes in the hand and then place the grey part back, i saw it once in an early chinese toy review
Donnie has not been released for pre-order, other than Gundamit, and it is not sold out on there. whatever "second hand pricing" you are seeing, are sellers that are capitalizing on naïve, uninformed collectors. 5k toys is one of more known sites for these turtle pre-orders, and they have put the pre-order up. They are waiting until after the Chinese New Year, as the Fury Toys has not decided on the official size for Donnie yet, as there was a vote on whether to make him taller than they originally intended, or keep it to smaller size that is larger than "not leo" but not too much larger.
I got him a couple of days ago, and I agree, love the detail on him, love the articulation, but there’s something off, can’t put my finger on it, jury is still out for me on this one
Cool figure. I prefer the samurai head look. Maybe cause the turtle head looks a bit small in my opinion. Or I just like the white eyes on the samurai head.
Dang, I was avoiding this, since it was an untested company. They were really treading the line of copyright. It all made me nervous. But I ordered it after watching this.
i dont mind the size considering it looks like all of the next figures will vary in size. They had a voting thing up not to long ago to fight on the size. That being said i think it adds to their individual uniqueness if they all vary in size. It adds to the character vs being the exact same size and body. So I welcome the size change and variation they will be bringing to their future turtles
I actually prefer turtles in this scale. They were short.. it always hit me as odd to see then drawn as tall as April or Casey… never liked that at all. These guys are gonna look great together imho and I really hope we get “totally not Usagi Yojimbo. And yes, these look like the Nicktoons TMnT all grown up.
This isn’t related to the video, but i just got a gi-joe alley viper. The hips are stiff and im looking at the pegs and im scared to move it some it doesn’t break. Should i heat it up to get it to move or do something else to get the legs to move?
Looks really nice, especially the coloring and details. But the head does look small at certain angles. $50 would be fine if it was a little bigger and officially licensed, but then it might hit the $80 price point.
Ohhhh. You just made it very tempting. And for me personally, 50 dollars is like maximum just right amount of price, especially with a figure this detailed. And Leo is also my favorite turtle so there’s that. I’m not gonna get now. Maybe some other time.

wrong, too small.
@@dr.robotnik825 first you cant call someones thoughts on a action figure wrong and second if its not fir you its not for you

Agreed on all counts!
@@dr.robotnik825 Wrong. Perfect scale. The original turtles were only 4' tall. This fits that scale perfectly.
This is the kind of detail and proportions I wish they would do in a show or movie. It's a weird cartoony shape, but the textures and colors really scream turtle.
In the original comics, weren’t the Turtles really short? Great looking figure regardless.
Yup, and in other iterations too, that's why I don't mind the size at all.
I don't play with action figures. I started watching you with my husband. I still watch you one to learn more. And two your just soooo funny. Thank you. Keep being awesome.
That paint is so beautiful. Almost makes me want to step into the turtle world. Thanks Robo

The paint looks fantastic and this is a really cool looking Samurai Turtle

Those 2012 figures are fantastic. I hadn't bought an action figure in decades, but I couldn't resist them
i love the maskless head. its a turtle its supposed to fit inside the shell. the designs are perfect. cant wait for the rest of the gang.
I've got the 4 playmate figures and love the unique sculpts down to their individual footprints. These like said are next level and I cannot wait for my spring and later autumn plus the accessory pack. I'm really excited to see winter and summer.
I haven't been able to put it down since I got it Friday. This really is a figure of the year contender.
Nice! Thanks for the comparison with those Playmates/Nick turtles, I've got a much better idea on the size expectations with these Not-TMNT guys.
Looking forward to the three other turtles, especially the orange one.
I love how he looks more like a mud or slider turtle species than "generic turtle". Like his shell looks fused to his body.....which is correct.
I love the design and paint on this guy, and if they reissue him, then this may be my first TMNT (or Not TMNT) figure. Though I'd probably keep them in the samurai looks too.

You can order it now, they have extra stock.
he is up on 5ktoys but you better hurry they won't last
They have the extras in stock now!!!
They put out a post on 5k toys that no reissues this is the only run
So glad you got this figure. I love him. I dig the smaller size since, in some iterations, the turtles are shorter than humans.
Not to mention almost all the turtle figures released by Mattel is 4.5 inches just like this guy.
I love mine! I have him on display without the helmet head. Looks so sick!
Idc what anyone says this is a steal for 50$, this figure is amazing
The difference in materials on the belt almost looks like it’s part of the design of the belt. Like you can imagine that it has a cotton layer under the leather for softness against his skin?? Maybe??? Yah….. haha… I love the feet too! The detail on the bottom is outstanding
looks fantastic. Love the design.
Great Review! Awesome looking figure!
I love the size. I like when the turtles are small. Great overview.
I’m so glad I was able to grab one of these today because I missed out on the preorder by not acting when I should’ve. Can’t wait to receive him!
I might have to get this. Been looking for my Definitive turtles for a bit, and yeah. Think I found em. Great review robo
Great review 👏 🔥🔥
Just got mine today. Looking forward to open him up and checking him out.
This figure is soooo cool! I like the turts but I’ve never collected em or bought any since the 80s when they had those chocolate brown colored soft plastic weaponry, (haha, so fun though) but this is super cool!… I love how similar it is to the playmates… and those tanto swords are exquisite!
That looks like an amazing figure
Love this figure! First fig I've bought since a was younger. Grab a couple bronze necklace clasps and the chains will be way more fun to play with. My belt cloth did come off after a few hoursof posing but a little super glue and good as new. Thanks Robo for bringing back in.
Yep, I got the Neca TMNT Movie 2 figures at the same time. Those figs are beautiful but all I do is play with this little guy.
Awesome review as always Robo!! This figure is teeny but mighty!!!! I love him!!! FYI, he was up for pre-order at a website called 5ktoys….

That intro was awesome, thank you. 😄
Awesome figure review Robo Fwoosh 🙂👍😇
Love the design and painting is top notch. Definitely picked one up, might pick up another to solve the dilemma of picking between ninja and samurai lol
This is one of my favorite figures i have gotten this year
Cannot wait for Autumn to go on preorder.
I really hope they release the other 3 turtles. Im so excited!!!
Don't worry, Donatello is already done and almost ready for shipping. Stay tuned!
The Bane voiceover was awesome!! Can’t wait to try the one hand stand
10:52 and 10:59 cracked me up!!

Sooo sick an a great size 🤘🏽🤙🏽🌮
So head makes more sense for shell tuck! Looks awesome!
Received mine yesterday, and despite his size he really is a cool little dude.
Mine should be here in a day or two, and man I can NOT WAIT.
Can't wait to get mine
I love this guy and I was so excited to pick him up.
Thanks dude. I may have to pick this up when/if it’s back in stock. I think it’ll look good with some Mythic Legions. The price seems like a good value to me

Haven't messed with mine yet but plan on building a diorama for also I know you're excited Robo since Donnie is next after this figure
I love it it’s so cool
Fantastic figure, some other figure companies should take note.
Very detailed small figure.
May want to invest in a small jewelry chain snap so the chain a go on and off easier.
Dude,wish I could afford it. Awesome figure
super freaking awesome... i need a Raph
This figure is gonna go perfectly with some of my joy toy / acid rain figures.
hey Robo, the grey part at the end of the chain has a c clip that can be easily detached, slide the chain in through the holes in the hand and then place the grey part back, i saw it once in an early chinese toy review
Wow 👏🤯 this is awesome and I just got my TMNT SOTO VHS 4,-pack from Neca yesterday lol 🤣👍
5Ktoys has put extra stock of this figure up for order right now!!! As of 1240pm PST on December 6, 2022!!!
Damn, i need this!
Do a short with a headswap with the 2012 Leo a detailed repaint to match spring could look really cool
....I never thought I'd want a bootleg ninja turtles toy...but I want that
If your picking up random TMNT figures Robo ya need to get that Armored Neca Last Ronin figure. It’s very cool
@TheFwoosh you gotta do reviews on the rest of the brothers. Uk it's a must
Oof. The second hand maket on this is killing me, and I had no idea Donnie was sold out. Will be first in line when they announce Raph for sure

Playmates Leo partially based on idw comics design (look at micro series #4, it is!)

Are you planning on finishing the four if they released the other 2?
