Are Mezco's Animated Ninja Turtle Figures WORTH It?

- Earlier this year Mezco broke the internet with the release of their take on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Many collectors including myself considered those Turtles figures to be the best yet. So how does one follow up that success? By making Animated Turtles of course! But was Mezco able to raise the bar with these cartoon inspired heroes in a half shell? Watch my latest toy review to find out all that and more! You may be in for a surprise. #collectresponsibly #mezcotoyz #tmnt

The black belts are probably a reference to the original toys from playmates, same as the belt straps for Leo and donnie
Ahh. Good catch! That seems plausible to me. I knew someone would have a good suggestion.
Thanks for the response and for watching.
The fact that they gave Mikey a serious face, but not Donnie is crazy😂😂
I really wonder what the thought process was behind that decision. I think for the price they really could have added an extra head for each of the turtles, especially since they didn't include any soft goods with this set.
The comic inspired Turtles should have gotten the full pizza and pizza box too. Also those spinning Sai effects
I totally agree. I also wound’s have mind if the pizza box was plastic as apposed to card stock paper. an interesting thing about the twirling said is that they were mention in the directions for the first release.
I wish you could buy them one at a time, awesome video by the way you did a great job this is the first one i’ve come across but i love it keep it up😄👍👍
hat would definitely ease. the strain on the wallet! 😅 I really appreciate your feedback! Thank you!
Thank you for the research on the weapon names.
No Problem. I didn't go in depth about how they are used in this review, but I did during my video on the original Mezco boxset. Learning more about the weapons is half the fun sometimes.
Another great review. Thank you, ATC. Fantastic posing (especially with the trench coats) and photography once again.
Thank you much! I appreciate it! I had a lot of fun posing these guys around so I'm really glad you got some enjoyment out of it as well!
I love this set, the colors pop and the goofyness in the expressions make it more likeable for me. Mezco you have collected over it is never accurate to the reference, it's always their own take and mix of things. Price is definitely debatable, and that was true for OG set too; I think $80 per turtle was a sweet spot. No soft goods was a bummer but they cut costs for MDX releases normally as the units made are limited.
Good points all around. I get that Mezco always takes liberties with their figure designs especially when the property doesn’t have just one definitive look. However, since these are animated inspired, I would have appreciated if they gave us more animated inspired accessories beyond the extra heads. Were you able to scoop up their Casey Jones? I was lucky enough to snag one. Thanks for leaving your thoughts!
@@alanthecollector Yeah got Casey..hopefully they'll soon do Splinter and Shredder.
@@Mr767267 I think they'll definitely get to them as well as April and Bebop and Rocksteady. And could you imagine Kraang and his Android body. That would be nuts! But I have a feeling those figures would be store exclusives. I would be down for all of those, but I think I would have to tap out on the Foot Ninja if they ever get to them. I just can't imagine army building for $100+ a pop.
@@alanthecollector Kraang would be great too. I think Foot soldiers would have less chance to be done as it's a commoner. If they do they might do a $120 double pack with more focus on weapons etc. Still, I feel it's hard to happen.
@@Mr767267 Good points! a $120 double pack would be the only way I'd buy foot soldiers. Any more than that and I think I'd pass altogether!
Great video! I enjoyed it a lot 💚
I'm really glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
Tight editing/review, subbed. Keep on keeping on man! ✌️
Thank you so much! I should be back to my regular reviews soon. I've got a lot NECA turtle stuff and SDCC exclusives to review! Thanks for joining the channel!
✌🏾🙏🏾🐜awesome review
Much appreciated! I'll be going back to regular reviews real soon, so I hope you'll stick around!
Is it worth me spending AU $900 on ebay for these? No
Hmm... that's about $640 USD. Personally, unless you really love the look of these turtles I wouldn't go much past $100 to $150 over retail. $200 over retail is the absolute max, but you really have to be sure you want it that badly. Honestly, as good as these figures are I think you should wait for a better deal or another good variation of the Turtles from Mezco. I hope that helps! Thank you of watching!
I bought the first mezco set. They were great and I didn't mind paying AU $850 for it. But I can't justify doing the same for these, especially with their lack of accessories. Would have been good if these figures each came with a hat and trench coat
And yes, if they do another variation, like a mirage style with red bandanna, I will consider buying them
@@lukeluck1395 I think I would be down for a third mirage set with red bandanas. I've heard some say they'd also be down for a black and white variant, but I think that's where I would tap out.
I think I'm first
Yep! You were the first to comment, but do you have anything you would like to share about the review? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
@@alanthecollector oh I loved the review it was amazing nice posing to
@@Relevant_65 Thank you!
This set is definitely not worth getting, everything about this set is just off putting
I will say it does look a lot better in hand. The promotional images didn't do them justice. However, the odd accessory choices and lack of soft goods, make you wonder why Mezco charged the same amount as the original boxset.
ya these suck
