- If you're on the fence about these, don't rush... they will be stocked in abundance. Yes, they are cool but are being met with pretty off QC issues.
Be on the look for mispaints and off centered masks.
All in all- 8/10
Great cool new little figures!
outro- Through the Ruins, Dead Albatross
as a 17 year old new turtle collector this was my first ever set of 88 figures and I have to say they're magnificent
Get them. They are very well priced and do the turtles' justice as a toy and an adult collector WITHOUT SPENDING ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNTS OF MONEY. I have the mezco set and for the money, these can't be beat
@OBSZIDIAN548 indeed! I love these more than I thought
I just need a leo so, waiting on my local wm to restock here any day now
I still got them!
@@Pokehon they are cool, really!
Great review also nice gym shirt what brand?
@@GGEdwin thank you!! Look for FlexComics.com! I love their collection of gym twist pop tees!
Great Overview brother!
Thanks man!! Just tryna be straight on
These are such awesome reimagined updates to the 88 Classics. Immediately hit me in my nostalgia feels. Love the increased modern articulation and I even appreciate the skin texturing. Gives it a nice different touch compared to the originals plus turtles have skin texture.
I just hand picked my set a few days ago, and did see 2 of them with uncentered eyes to nose. I also noticed the white paint of all their eyes isn't 100% perfect because stuff like that can bother me too, but it is what it is. I REALLY hope this means we will atleast get updated Bebop, Rocksteady, Splinter, Foot Soldier, and most of all a new fixed Shredder how he was intended; being too tall for the original package. Maybe an April too.
@ShutoStriker I screwed up the whole display comparing each turtle to see which were the better presenting ones 😂 and I'm hoping for other remastered tmnt too!! Thank you
And you’re not understanding the face sculpt, The original figures that released in 1988 were based on the mirage comic book design. Which had a sharper more turtle like snout. In order to sell them to kids, they got rid of the uniform, monochromatic, red bandannas and brown pads and gave them each individualized color schemes. The cartoon was then to sell the toys, in reverse, and they softened the design and personalities to better appeal to children and make it easier to animate. But if you look at the original ninja turtle figures, if you look at the original packaging art, those iterations look exactly like the original Mirage comic books. They’re all grimacing. Lean and mean. As opposed to the smiley face, slightly puffy and chubby cartoon version. And if you’ve ever seen a picture of the original prototypes for the 88 figures, they look even more like these 88 remastered face sculpts
@mitchell7309 oh, I understand the face sculpt... but it's not quite like the Mirage. There's a big difference in appearance. These remastered are just way exaggerated is what I'm trying to say. But Raph came out the better looking
@@TheJfury1030 I didn’t mean to come off as combative. I liked your review a lot. And think you’re dead on accurate, but I do believe the original face sculpts were much more intended to be based off mirage than the eventual cartoon designs which soften the look to make it more palatable to children to sell the toys. Hopefully we get remastered Splinter, Foot, Bebop and Rocksteady. And god we need a remastered Shredder. With a shirt too please 🤣
To this day, I have that donotelo....
@ovadoseooo947 it was my favorite as a kid. As its my favorite line to collect 👌
Bro, you need Leo for I have two sets. Lol
@davidthebatman6673 I'm waiting on the restock. The Leo's I saw here all had super off centered bandanas so I didn't pick one up
@@TheJfury1030 Hope you get one to your standards. For the brothers need to be together, ha
6:34 - I’m just always so annoyed that the skin colors are wrong…New ones, Mikey looks more blue, Raph looks more pale, and Donnie just isn’t right…
Good observation. Although the colors are close, I can see how they aren't as vibrant as the originals
Yeah, the vintage Donatello was a dark greenish-brown, whereas the reissues and this figure are just brown. Until Playmates gets their act together and improves their quality control, I am not buying any of their toys. I passed on their downsized Technodrome for similar reasons. NECA can have my money instead, their TMNT toys are vastly superior.
Love this tmnt are this at Walmart or target exclusive?
@dirty_aztek619 these are exclusive to Walmart. Hope you get some!
У меня коллекция черепах от Super7.Твои черепахи похожи на моих только менее качественные, у тебя видны соединения. У оригинальных TMNT не было чешуи на коже!
Но в целом я бы таких купил ребёнку что-бы моих не трогал, но не себе в коллекцию!)
@@user-ql4hw3ew6c у меня есть все супер 7 черепах и фигурки. но эти новые станут отличным дополнением к любой коллекции tmnt.
Next week will go hunting for Mikey … hopefully I can find them 😅
I'm not exactly sure when the next restock is but if your Walmart had the figure tag, have an employee scan it to give you delivery insight! Good luck bud
Super cool 😎
These are amazing and most of these reviewers are unsufferable. They hate these for the price and they hate the s7 remakes for that price too.
@@steel0803254 was this video insufferable? 😂😂 and I love the super 7 and I don't mind the price
I wonder if they will make remastered figures for the movie star figures
@@lukeluck1395 😆😆 you know, that would be kinda cool
How do the new turtles look on the old vehicles? I know they are a little bigger, but only because their legs are straight unlike the old ones that the legs are bent. I know we got a reissue turtle van and target is getting the toilet taxi. I see you have the cheap skater in the video how do they look on the skateboard?
Although they are a little bigger, they fit good. They are just right for the van. They fit comically well on the bike but they have larger peg holes on foot bottom so they won't fit on the board pegs. But they look cooler I think on the og vehicles
I was originally on the fence with these, but in-hand I like them quite a bit. Mikey is probably my favorite of the bunch with the real chain nunchucks tipping the scale in his favor.
@@kaltech04 exactly how I feel! Thank you
I ran into a fresh pallet and picked up two sets,they do more than the originals and have the texture of the movies turtles.
These are perfect $12 turtles.
@django60617 one of the best feelings!! Glad you like them 👌
same! sort of I walked right up to the frest display. fully stocked but I only buy Mikey! :)
I can not decide if I want to open my Mikey or not. I Think the old school Bubble on card would have been cool. but the Square package gives that premium feel.
@@spitt0110 as an in-box collector... these are definitely worth opening! And I'm sure you'll find another to keep in box
Went to 3 stores couldn’t find them paid 100 for the 😂wish I found them for 15
@ufcfan3940 oh no!!! There is goin to be a restock soon enough!! I'm sorry but, hey, if you wanted them now and instead of wasting the time and gas, it evens out. I been there a few times too especially thinking I had to go out of town for an item, I just put the cost of gas into the item online or ebay 🤣🤣😩😩
I am extremely disappointed in the Turtles of Greyskull line😢😢
@nbriez-c5914 awww man! Well, more for us that do like them 😂😂 ... I did express in some of my other videos that the TOG line won't be for everyone but I am a fan of both motu and tmnt and I couldn't wait for a crossover!!
@TheJfury1030 I can't even put my finger on what it is about them, I'm not hating on anyone who does like them, I was really excited for them until I saw them in person idk, wish I could explain why
@nbriez-c5914 I totally get it. Same way I feel about marvel legends now... I used to love them, I wanted to continue collecting until one day, I just couldn't continue the line. I can't explain that... goes for mcfarlane dc universe type stuff too
