- NECA Turtles in Disguise includes four TMNT: Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello. Insert of the box features a cartoon-styled building backdrop. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set also includes accessories of two pizzas, a pizza slice, Pigeon Pete, a boombox, The Hare and the Tortoise book, a skateboard, a “Weird Pizza” delivery boy hat, all the Turtles’ usual weapons, four masked heads, four hats, four extra turtle heads, and eight extra sets of hands. NECA really made an amazing set from the TMNT Animated Series.
MASSIVE Thank you to Twitter user Zero_Cool for selling this set to me!

I think this one is way more buck bangin’ than the style guide set. But each have their place if you’re just getting into the line. NECA being able to bust the licensing wide open has really been a blessing…and a curse to turtle fans haha!
Hahaha, yes, absolutely!
This set for $124.99 is arguably the best set NECA has ever released.
It’s really insane for the price!
Considering that bright green set of the brothers that came out for 150 and less accessories I'd say so for sure.
@@nicolasgregory7207 I said the same thing when that set got released, it really surprised me they added $25 to the retail but less product while they were both still being manufactured. Turtles in Disguise is such a good deal compared to all other NECA TMNT products, in my opinion.
I recently got a MISB for around 257 dollars, I guess it depends on the market situation.
i was a little late to the line, so i was very happy when this set came out. getting all 4 turtles in one box with their weapons and making the disguises removeable was great of NECA.
Yes! It’s a great option, just missing some angry faces that have their teeth showing.
I love how you do the posing! No other reviewer does that. It honestly alone sold me on this set. Thanks keep up the great work!
Haha! Thank you so much!
Pigeon Pete is the true hero of this “4” pack lol
Hahaha. One of the greats
In absolute love with these figures I literally just got them today. What are the odds that you’d upload a video on them!! Also I love the turtles in the background on your shelf with the alien figures 🤣 simply perfect!!
Thank you so much! Yeah, such a crazy coincidence on that timing!
I have the original dark colored turtles that came in the two-packs with Shredder, Krang, or the Foot Soldiers. Definitely prefer the darker color over the brighter ones. And they’re just fantastic figures. Only big difference is they only have an angry expression and the bandanas have no articulation. Sadly I had missed out on the Disguise pack because I really want the happy expressions, so maybe some day they might re-release this set or come up with an expression pack, but who knows? Anyway, fantastic figures. With the Turtles and Back to the Future Neca has become one of my favourite brands for action figures. There’s just no beating them! As for favourite Turtle, it’s Donnie.
Donnie is a great choice! Does the finish seem more matte on your turtles? If not, then you’re right one with an “expression pack”. Would be genius
I watch many different toy review channels.... without a doubt your posing section is the best around.. I look forward to it every video!!!
Wow, that’s an incredible compliment! Thank you so much!
Loved the set so much that I put 3 sets on display.
Love the video , I’ve had my Turtles in Disguise since they came out but have them in box still. I really want to open them and put them on display with good stands. Which stands are you using to display them in the video if you don’t mind sharing ? Thanks again
Obitsu stands. They used to be on Amazon, but they don’t show up there anymore.
Happy new year my man! Amazing review as always, I just got my set after 1 year and a half from my preorder on the neca website, manufacturing and delays killed the hype but having them finally in my hands made me very happy! Glad you got your set too! ❤🎉
Thank you so much! Insane timing! I guess it’s a good thing I decided to review these. Haha! I can’t believe that preorder took that long! I only grabbed these recently from someone else, so I had no idea about the preorder mess.
@@NostalgiaUnboxed basically this set has never been sold outside USA, so after few months neca decided to put a 10 days preorder on the Neca store for everyone. After 1 year someone started to get some but many of us got an email saying that our batch got damaged on the cargo, so they gave us 2 options, refund or wait 6 months longer….
@@pietrospedale3377 wow, what a mess. Well, I’m glad you finally got it and hopefully they take international customers more seriously soon.
@@NostalgiaUnboxed i wish my man, we never got Cartoon Tokka/Rahzar 2 pack sold here or on their website, so my collection is incomplete because of that…. 😅
@@pietrospedale3377 I have an extra set if you’re willing to pay that shipping cost
I can't get the swords in Leo's holsters to save my life
heat it up with a hairdryer or some hot water
the SHADING tbh is supposed too represent WHEN they ARE under the STREET LAMP it created the SHADING effect TBH i think was there thought on the DESIGN
shrug
They're definitely different from the OG two packs. I mentioned before that I was able to remove the head from the Leo that came with Shredder and today I was trying to get the disguise on him and it just didn't look right. Not only does he not have that hip swivel shown at 18:20, but also I'm pretty sure Leo's katana holsters are thicker on the two pack version.
Oh wow. That’s pretty wild
I agree, that's basicly a great pack did there.
The turtles look great, we have many accessories, but the jackets can't be fixed that much sadly.
BTW, i never figured we could put off the bandanas !
I think the jackets would be great if they had wires in them to pose some action shots, but I’m fine without any of the clothing.
Oh hands down the best set of turtles. The alternative heads and expressions are Chef’s kiss! Expression even work on Loot Crate Dark Turtle Donnie!
Oh shoot, that’s great! The new Astronaut Donnie seems to have the light green head. So strange they go back and forth
The costume variants scares my wallet so maybe that will detract me from purchasing 😂
@@thomasgoesnostalgic haha! Let’s mark this as a reminder to see where you are in the next three months 😂
I like these darker turtles. I don't have any of these Toon Turtles, but I'm thinking about grabbing these Turtles in Disguise.
These are my only toon turtles and I think this is definitely the place to start and/or stop if you don’t wanna go crazy with figures
Heckin yeah! This set really is gnarly. I came into the line when this set was the new hotness and it really sold me on the line. So much stuff in the box and the disguises are easy enough to take off that they’re basically optional accessories.
Only thing I’m iffy on is the glossy finish and subsequent matte rerelease. If they ever put extra heads in an accessory pack they’re only gonna match up with half of folks collections😢
On a positive note, this sets value really holds up today after the release of the $150 bright set with half as many accessories. $25 less with twice the stuff. “Where’s the beef?” It’s in the Turtles in Disguise set.
Yeah, a good accessory kit would be great, but wouldn’t help most folks and would possibly make for some confused purchases. I would cal these semi-gloss and close to matte. But I do like the original ones most
@@NostalgiaUnboxed looks like you got the same set I got which is the glossy set. The more recent ones have matte heads closer to the tone of the original, non swappable heads. Just confusing overall. Woulda been nice to have just been matte from the jump. The glossy ones kinda stand out on the shelf. First world problems…
@@spadedonemcdysentery2493 lol. What a mess on their part
Thats a dope set❤
The best
You make some very imaginative poses.
Thank you
I found one of these in my local target about 7 or 8 months ago. I almost picked it up but passed on it assuming I would see it again the next week as our target seems to have the same handful of figures every week. It was gone when we went back and I've been kicking my self about it. I was meh on it because I thought it was just them in disguise. I then found out that NOPE they are the normal turtles underneath and dang I missed out. Oh well, like you said I'll find one eventually. Thanks for the review! Cheers!
Thank you! Yeah, it’s not a great packaging setup because I always turned away from it until I was looking for the dark green turtles. A little deeper dive showed me this is the set I needed
@@NostalgiaUnboxed You will never believe this, I actually picked one of these up this weekend from a local collector. Best part? It was actually at retail price. Great dude and has a HUGE collection.
@@BeardDuder that’s great!! I love it. Glad you can enjoy them and not feel bad about the price
Love your TMNT/Alien display on your shelf.
Thank you!! A crossover we need lol
@@NostalgiaUnboxed oh if only IDW and Marvel could play nice that would be awesome
@@spdrwrtr for real
I love this set and my only real complaint is that I wish they'd given us a full set of four of each expression (for the mouths). Otherwise I thought it was perfect.
Quick side question - what stands are you using for the "in the air" poses?
I just want some angry, teeth clenched faces!
I’m using the Obitsu Stand from Amazon!
Whould it be cool if these versions of turtles got their own movie and finally defeat the shredder and krang for good
I would love it
Thank you for reviewing this boxset, it was my only chance at the animated TMNT figures, when it went up on NECA store I jumped on it, 😅 but when it arrived it went straight into storage and still haven’t had an opportunity check them out. Also, cool Nausicaa shirt, did you pick up any of those figures?
Oh you gotta get that outta storage then! Haha
I preordered Nausicaa and Yupa. I can’t wait!
The guy in the garbage can in the box artwork is known as joe eyeball. His companion is muckman
Thanks. I definitely want that trash can, but I don’t want either of them haha
@NostalgiaUnboxed is there anyway I could send you a picture of my collection pieces?
What a set! So much bang for your buck with this,love the green on these turtles 🔥
They’re so good!
Damn dude I can not believe I didn’t jump on some of these when I got back into collecting just last year. These look amazing.
They are releasing as singles soon (most likely no disguise stuff)
@@NostalgiaUnboxed yeah I’m gonna hold off. Like you said to. I am just getting that itch of wanting it now. Hahaha
@@raypaz2947 it’s an awful itch haha! We need a cream solution
@@NostalgiaUnboxed seriously that feeling is 💩. I really don’t need it that badly. It’s just like being bored and wanting something to do. Though I will change my displays up. Swap them out when I’m bored of playing with a line. Gives me something to do. You know.
@@raypaz2947 that’s a great way to do it. It works
What awesome figures!!! They look incredible!! 😃 Great review!! I hope I can find these 🤣
Thank you so much! I hope you can, too
I have the set and love it! I have them in their outfits and they look great.
They really are great. Glad you like the outfits too!
Hi, new to collecting TMNT figures. I've seen the Turtles in Disguise for sale for a decent price but can't tell if it is fake or not. It looks virtually identical, but the fold out with the sewer pizza monster is flipped. Sewer on the outside of the fold out, and the ooze in the top right corner closest to the turtles/seam. Is it still a legit set, or would it be a fake if it isn't identical to the one in the video?
I don’t think they made these as fakes. Where are you buying? Just make sure you have buyer protection
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I was looking on Ebay and Facebook Marketplace. I've seen what looks to be both the variants on each o them. FB would be an in person buy, just couldn't find anything on fakes of this set and don't have the knowledge yet to trust myself yet lol. I appreciate the feedback!
I have the set, bur haven't fully used everything yet, since I had the dark green turtles in the 2 packs that were initially at Target. The first packs released of these Turtles in Disguise all were very glossy. Mine aren't, but some of the hands are. I wonder if there's a way to get rid of the glossy look
Actually, I have used “the army painter anti shine Matt varnish” and it does wonders!
I’ll link below this comment. They don’t always let links slide in comments though
amzn.to/43q6QmN
@@NostalgiaUnboxed thanks, I'll look into that
@NostalgiaUnboxed hey, do you know what is the best way to get that black wash sort of look? As I mentioned on that stream the other day, I'm thinking about getting an extra Pizza Monster to look like the grittier Mirage style, but my painting of figures experience is very limited. Mostly I've just spray painted or just used some acrylic paint.
@@andrewmoeller1987 I don’t have much experience either. Are you on Twitter or instagram? I could share some accounts that might help
I’m all in on all neca turtles especially the toon turtles and this was an incredible set!! Happy you got a set. Mikey is my favorite turtle.
Mikey is great! Going all in is intense, especially with them adding new figures that didn’t even exist in the cartoon. Haha
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I’ve found everything except these disguise turtles at Target from the get-go. Ironically this set was the only one I didn’t find there. My wife got it off the Neca site for me when it went up for preorder. I remember when Bebop and Rocksteady came out I said I was done with the line and had all I needed. Lol I can’t pass up a release ever. Those goofy crooked ninja turtles was an easy pass… at first. Now I have 3 of them. 😂
@@Narboo77 haha. What an adventure… a very endless, expensive adventure. I don’t have the space to even attempt that
I missed this one so it’s $200-$250 now. The value is gone lol. I’ll still be buying it soon though.
Some on Mercari under $200 that might be worth sending some offers to.
Every time your videos get to the posing section I'm like "Wow I can pose my figures like this???" Idk how you do it sometimes LOL I'm over here with a detolf full of extremely basic poses lol
Haha! Thank you so much! I guess all those years as a kid playing “realistically” with posing has paid off 😂
Hell yeah “bang for bucks”-nostalgia unboxed.
Hahahaha oh nooo
I noticed the street scene on yours was upside down. I dont know if someone's already pointed that out. Pretty funny tho.
Is that true?? Hahaha, that's crazy. Better than where some people got matte heads and gloss bodies
That pack is so good. Probably my favorite TMNT set ever next to the first movie ones. Did you get Warduke? He’s just an awesome figure. Alf’s also a winner.
Yeah, this set is fantastic. No, I didn’t get Warduke, but do have Alf.
I really liked this set but I had to sell it recently. I didnt have room for another tmnt line and I rather someone who collects this line have it. It would have just sat unopened on a shelf since I don't have any of the neca tmnt figures. (It was an impulse buy when it came out).
Very much understandable! Especially for people that need to complete the line. Impossible for the animated stuff
Where did you get it from?
Target
I totally agree with you about the shading! Also, double check those thighs. There’s a nice thigh swivel in there and it may just be tight. I’ve got some pics on my IG of them doing all sorts of high kicks and side kicks. 😎
I’ll mess with them again! And your photos/videos are awesome!
@@NostalgiaUnboxedThank you very much! 🙏
Another great vid homie. I like this set for me to the dark color alone, but I am think I'm in the minority not liking my turtles all smiled up.
Thank you! I just wish there were some teeth based angry faces with this set
you should be at 1 Million subs
Haha thank you
what music do you use like it🎵
This will be too old for me to find those tracks now. But I get my music from Artlist.io for my videos
I get mine this Week, i hope :D After 1 1/2 Year of waiting.
So... i bought a separate Disguise Coat & Hat to make a Footsoldier in Disguise :D
Looks Funny xD
Oh that sounds like a cool look. Haha. Glad yours is coming in!
Great set! I’m not a fan of those masks either; I’m waiting on NECA to do their leather jacket & sunglasses “street-style” disguises.
Yes!! They’ll be far better than that BstAxn brand, but good on them for getting that version out first!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Definitely. Those BST AXN “Street-Style” Turtles are the best they’ve put out. I reckon the NECA set will look great too.
@@_Sesquipedal yeah, for sure! And surprised they haven’t even teased the idea yet
@@NostalgiaUnboxed IIRC they hinted at it on the back of the Usagi box 🤞😬
@@_Sesquipedal well shoot. I don’t remember my own reviews then! Hahaha
i have one but is the matte version. i think is the best one to have, it's not shinny like this first 4 pack release.
Definitely the best version
I've had this set for a year and it's a great set, the only thing I didn't like is that the hinges are very stiff and difficult to move
Oh interesting. I haven’t had that issue, but I do get tired of all the flat hands. Haha. Need an accessory set for more hand options
Tbh finding dark or light green turtles is way harder on ebay tbh.
Definitely getting harder. I hope they release some more
ye but my set has the tightest joints of all time i had to boil mikey to put him in the gunner seat of the van lol. i think im gonna order some shock oil for the others see if that works just as well
Better than too loose!
I missed out on all these great TMNT Neca figs when they released and just can't pull the trigger on paying the secondary market prices these ppl are asking. I only want ONE set of Turtles from Neca be it the 1990 film figs or the darker green figs from the 80s cartoon. As of the writing of this comment it does seem like this set is the most bang for your buck as I saw a few listing that weren't totally unreasonable considering all of the stuff you get.
I may need to pull the trigger on this one very soon.
They announced that each Turtle will get an "Ultimate" release and hit stores. Do not buy aftermarket unless you get a good deal.
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Ah, good looking out my man!
Dewd, that was a great video!! Very entertaining and enjoyable. : -)
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed your very welcome. 👍👍
I have but one comment to state. I respect yur opinion about the dark-green coloration for it seems to be the common choice, but i personally favor the light-green set. They just emanate a more animated tone IMHO. Most of the Toon Line figs are very bright & colorful so i believe it's a perfect blend. Plus... the 80s show lightened their coloration appearance from season to season. To each their own my friend. ✌️😎✌️
@@leodenverrex3819 yeah, I think a true cartoon version would be somewhere between the dark set and the bright green promo style set
@@NostalgiaUnboxed i completely agree with you, dude. A lil lighting effects can also change the shade appearance a bit for photography. I like to make my light-green figs look abit darker in my photos and most times I'm satisfied. I also completely conquer with you about the TiD having more "bang-for-the-buck" compared to the Haulothon set. NECA shenanigans at work lol.
I'm sure they will eventually find the perfect color & shade after already releasing a hundred sets and forcing us to buy them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. The Ultimate Turtles are testament to their prerogative of dark-green tone being the main color-of-choice but i just don't think it's quite right. However, knowing them they will probly release a hundred more 4-Pack sets of varying colors & shades just to keep us up-grading lol.
C'mon NECA, get it right already! 😅
@@leodenverrex3819 and an interesting detail on the new Ultimate Turtles, they don’t have two tone on the front shell
so where do I get one
They will be releasing these turtles in “ultimate” form. You’ll buy each turtle individually but with some extra goodies. Target exclusives for this toon line though. This set from the review is harder to find and really just available aftermarket
oh ok thanks
To clarify, is the upcoming release with the lighter color turtles or dark as in this video?
@@anthonium. darker
They made versions of these in a matte finish.
Yeah, it’s a little hard to tell when they are matte. Like, these clearly have some sort of matte finish when compared to the one hand I got that is gloss. Matte is definitely best and I’m pretty sure the one you speak of is even more matte, right?
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Yea everything is matte. The glossier finish were the first batches to release then the ones NECA sold on their site were all matte.
whats with the creepy background ominous music?
Amazing part to focus on
Idk which one I like more these turtles (dark green) or SDCC 2017 Neca Tmnt (dark green)
I prefer the fully matte finished ones. Is that the SDCC set or the two packs that came later on?
@@NostalgiaUnboxedso I’m a kid I don’t know the whole matte thing but when I looked up a comparison on the thumbnail the disguise ones had gloss and SDCC had the matte dark green with like the mean faced heads
@@aydentube_ that’s the best looking set!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed which one
@@aydentube_ SDCC
I wasn't mad at you for being unfamiliar with vertical hand hinges, so I apologize if that's how my autism made my comment come across.
I am constantly mad at these companies who keep producing grip hands with ONLY horizontal hinges, especially for figures with swords and or guns. I'm really sick of it.
Haha. Not at all. I just had a lot on that other video and thought it was funny. Now that I know about these I agree with you.
I’m always open mouth happy for some turtle buttcheeks! Leonardo is my favorite always! Jon your vids are truly an inspiration man! Onwards and upwards sir!
Thank you so much, my beautiful poopy man. I hope you’re feeling better
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Thanks man just stuffy now.
@@moescatobotcollects that’s good!
nice
Thanks
@@NostalgiaUnboxed your the NVP
@@sonicfan5854 “N”? lol
This set is what Super7 wishes they could be... All the turtles with ALL the accessories for a GREAT price. Not to mention so many hands 🤭
Hahaha. They don’t want to offer a great price though. They like being overpriced
@@NostalgiaUnboxed That's so true... oddly. Bold strategy.
But only 1 sai?
It has two
Its 252$ here.... Should I go for it? And no I am not rich......
$252 USD? That's pretty high, but if that's average wherever you are then maybe its the right price
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I am thinking of all the other action figures I can order with that money.... So ordered Jada toys Dhalsim, marvels legends Spiral.... Maybe will wait for another turtles 80s version without the accessories
@@JoeJoe-xn3zv where are you?
I got the set but I'm upset at the quality control from Neca. One extra hand came with all these black spots on them. White spot on one of the extra heads. Can't even return because it was bought aftermarket and good luck ever getting Neca spare replacement parts or anything. Overall I do love the darker turtle design and the set. May just have to see if the ultimates are worth it (if we get lucky enough to find them in stores).
Wow, that’s wild. That’s definitely an unusual issue with the spots. Sorry to hear that
