It's good they do re releases. Not only it gives people to start collecting if they missed out on the figures before, but it gives the manufacturers the opportunity to fix imperfections from past figures
I loved the music and the posing at the end... with comic effects! My Bebop and Rocksteady have been fine, but I'm always very nervous about moving their legs around... unless I warm them up first.
I was stoked to see these guys on the shelf! Like Hatter said, my first pair were riddled with issues. Bebop’s foot always comes off, and my Rocksteady hip was so still it broke trying to move it!
I didn’t even know this was a rerelease. I should have figured since unlike last year my target did have a haulathon section, with pizza club Leo, mirage Stockman and the punk four pack. Meanwhile evil Rex was in the regular toy aisle with the gargoyles stuff.
Thanks for the com-pair-ison, and yeah I think most people will buy because a lot of us are sick and buy all new rereleases of old figures. Such is life 😅
The Rocksteady and Bebop figures are pretty interesting because they've had a number of changes up to this point. There's the v1s which is what you have, those were the initial release. Then they did a v2 release with the black line down Bebop's abdomen, and they darkened up all the cel shading (and added it to Bebop's ankles, which is not present in the v1s), and now we have these v3 versions with the updated colors (cleaner lining, brighter, more animated looking colors, black paint in Rocksteady's mouth finally, Bebop's jacket matches the human version more) and updated ball hips.
My first release Bebop has the black line on his stomach. His stomach colour matches his chest colour as well. I wonder if your 1st release stomach is missing some paint apps. I think I prefer the paint on 2nd release Rocksteady all around. On 2nd release Bebop, that red looks great, but I prefer the skin/fur tone of the first release. And of course, if you can pose the 2nd release figures without paint flaking off and fear of snapping off limbs, then all the better. I don't think I care enough to buy them again, but overall, it does look like the 2nd release may be superior.
The paints apps do look better on the re-release figures. But I personally need NECA to also the turtles as well. I missed out on those. People want way too much on ebay.
I was so happy when I found them because I didn't know they were getting released and on ebay they were so expensive so when I seen them I grabbed them right away😊
I just got this set of Bebop and Rocksteady at my Target for 20$ a deal out of this world so I’m happy to add these two classic characters to my Tmnt collection alongside Super Bebop and Mighty Rocksteady. Stomp turtles stomp turtles
I don’t think Henson-style Bebop & Rocksready have been officially announced but Trevor has been open to the idea. Only crossover between toon and movie that I am aware of is movie April in the yellow jumpsuit.
🎩Yes, Hatter the SDCC 8 pack Turtles Shredder And Krang plus 2 foot soldiers in that huge case! Yep I got it and mine is actually signed by the artist! 🐢📦✍👍
i'd have liked a new design, more cartoon accurate this time. they did it with their super hero costumes, those are very different. an ultimate individual release should happen.
I happy my figures never had any issues other than standing up sometimes but I assume that’s because they are hefty. Even my krang android body has that problem.
This makes the rest of the figures inconsistent w/ Bebop & Rocksteady 2.0 not having cell shading.. luckily I don't need these, like I dont need the Pizza Club Turtles or Punk Turtles 🤷♂️
I really want these. so far I've only seen the robo versions at my local targets, so they either haven't gotten them or they've already been picked up.
I was never able to get bebop and rock steady besides the super versions. Didn't get Rex 1 but I got the evil one, never got og turtles but got a loose Ralph because that's my boy. I finally got all turtles but it was the new pizza single collection
For it was the Casey Jones 2pk that got me into the line... It's cool for those who missed out but I think I'm keeping my old set..not like I move them all the time....
If I buy these, it will only be for the helmet. Remember when they first released the turtles, they were a brighter color green? I wonder if that's kind of what they were going for here.
I love the look of NECA Ultimates / figures in general, but their lack of posibility essentially makes them just a pricier McFarlane Toys. We're all but buying statues.
My 1st release set of Bebop and Rocksteady seem to have a slightly richer color than the ones you show in your video. Also, my 1st release Bebop has the black line on the stomach, which yours does not. My Bebop also has a even flows of tan color thru out his body (fur). Yours seems to have 2 tan variations between the upper body vs the lower body stomach area. If I remember right Hatter, you purchased that set on Aliexpress. That might be why. My set was purchased at a Target store.
Did they fix the issue with be bop ankles ? Where they easily break when trying to pose or even fall on the rug lol. Please tell me they fixed that issue
Style for Cartoon line has been defined by this specific duo tone cell shading, so doing re-release and not following their own style guide is nothing then just error and fail, it's not about if it's big deal or not it's about not being a consistent and that's a big deal and if it was done on purpose to save up some money by skipping on paint, that is not ok ... what next... characters won't have pupils to save up cost on some black pain ??? Surely neca simsps will come up with excuses that it's ok for whatever reason they pull out from their @sses :(((
The line on bebop's belly wasnt present on the first release, but did have it on the second. I believe the texture on the hands was more rough on the first release as well. Do these figures have the old hip joints?
Damn you Hatter! I knew I should have grabbed me one😂. I wonder if the super bebop and mighty rocksteady are re-releases as well. I seen multiples of them on the shelf.
Crap! I've been avoiding the toon line, but if I can just get Bebop, Rocksteady that would be half of the villains team. Then they are rereleasing the turtles, Then I would just need Shredder and Krang, and I would be set. Oh, I forgot April, Casey and Splinter. Oh and a few foot soldiers to fight. It wouldn't be the toon line without the Chanell 6 team. I'd need them too.
Coming from an animation/game design background, cel-shading on physical objects has never made sense to me. In 2D objects, shading is used as a simplistic way to show lighting. In 3D objects, it's used to replicate the look of 2D objects. In physical objects, it's used to... make an object look like it's two different colors for some reason? Idk. I'd re-purchase the whole line without it if I could. I'm not knocking anyone that likes it. It's just not my favorite.
I have the originals and yeah, they are a QC nightmare. Especially Bebop. His arm fell off right out of package at the bicep. The foot and hand soon after. I hate how brittle the NECA toon figures are. But admittedly, it hasn't stopped me from buying 75% of the whole freakin' line.
It's good they do re releases. Not only it gives people to start collecting if they missed out on the figures before, but it gives the manufacturers the opportunity to fix imperfections from past figures
And gives collectors a little break on their wallet....hahahaha
Bebop and Rocksteady were the ones that got me into the line. Sill waiting to get all 4 turtles 😂
Love your videos. Thanks for leaving in the blooper was funny. I also really like that I often learn new vocab words watching your videos
I think this was a missed oppottunity to have the camouflage pants for rocksteady
Yes! Would love that
They’re saving those for an ultimate rocksteady release💰💀💰
@@vincereviews1090Yup

If I see it on the shelve MANDO I pick it up. That's why I have doubles sometimes triples

I like the older ones. I don't have "QC" issues, mine are from box to shelf "Just See" issues
Thank god my old Rocksteady isn't the only one that won't stand on his own, thought I got a lemon. Gonna have to find these new ones.
Might need to pick up a set just for the cartoon accurate box art.
My bebop leg immediately broke at the hip on the first version. Hope the joints are better
The new ones have ball joint hips vs hinged joints hips on the old ones
Thanks for the com-pair-ison, and yeah I think most people will buy because a lot of us are sick and buy all new rereleases of old figures. Such is life 😅
Hahaah this is true and such is indeed life

Don't forget how the v2 packaging replaces the recolored 2012 logo with the proper 1987 logo
Do any other figures have running changes of revisions? Leatherhead?
I didn't know the coloring is better than the original release man...😕💡
I have to get them due to the simple fact that my bebop leg broke years ago and neca never came to my aid. Does jwerks 😅

My first release has matching colors but no black line lol
@@BriarShinn Interesting. 🤔 One of these must be a variant. One of us is rich! 🤣
The paints apps do look better on the re-release figures. But I personally need NECA to also the turtles as well. I missed out on those. People want way too much on ebay.
i have same issue with original Rocksteady, pretty much wont stand because of loose joint.
I was so happy when I found them because I didn't know they were getting released and on ebay they were so expensive so when I seen them I grabbed them right away😊
I just got this set of Bebop and Rocksteady at my Target for 20$ a deal out of this world so I’m happy to add these two classic characters to my Tmnt collection alongside Super Bebop and Mighty Rocksteady. Stomp turtles stomp turtles
I have the older versions with the QC, I would like to see the re-release of the SOTO tokka and rahzar.
I can't keep up with box art and expensive, subtle differences
I wish Nneka would do more stuff like this. Just surprised us at the stores with things we had no idea they would re-release.
I literally just stumbled upon these two today. And rocksteady is my absolute favorite villain. So happy to have him fight my pizza club turtles
alotta people don’t seem to know that you have to loosen the joints before posing them, most people sit em in hot water to do the trick
My bebops foots ready to break too. Good to see they're fixing things
The new ones have ball joint hips vs hinged joints hips on the old ones.
Don’t you DARE stop go!
I already got the Super 7 BEBOP and ROCKSTEADY and now this?
It's more overkill.
@@OBSZIDIAN548 Bebop is missing his tail LOL!🦔🙄🤔🤨🙆
I don’t think Henson-style Bebop & Rocksready have been officially announced but Trevor has been open to the idea. Only crossover between toon and movie that I am aware of is movie April in the yellow jumpsuit.
Have the O.G. Rocksteady and BeBop from NECA no need to buy them again LOL! Still sealed and in packaging! 🦏🦔👍🕵
I sure hope that we will get this here in Sweden at a reasonable price...
I have seen them on Amazon for about 1550 Sek (~155 USD) 😐
"We got no food, we got no jobs.....OUR PETS HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!!!!!!"
Neca never lets a mold go to waste. And I get it. But not including the helmet is just bizarre.
🎩Yes, Hatter the SDCC 8 pack Turtles Shredder And Krang plus 2 foot soldiers in that huge case! Yep I got it and mine is actually signed by the artist! 🐢📦✍👍
I don’t have the originals so I’ll definitely get these. Disappointed about the helmet, though.
I appreciate that they added new hips. Hope they can keep making upgrades to the rereleases
i'd have liked a new design, more cartoon accurate this time. they did it with their super hero costumes, those are very different. an ultimate individual release should happen.
What isn't accurate?
Now this is world news! Thanks for reporting
The new release pops more with the colors
Wait no helmet. The promotional pics showed Rocksteady with his helmet. No helmet, no purchase. I have the originals, i don't need this set.
The Sound Effects...nailed it! Great review.
thank goodness for the reissue. those two go for a kidney on the black after market. very cool outro throw back to the arcade game!
I happy my figures never had any issues other than standing up sometimes but I assume that’s because they are hefty. Even my krang android body has that problem.
Definitely need to get I have the first ones but damn they started to break on me, my rocksteady left arm is close to breaking off the peg joint
I got lucky and ran across these. My old Bebop broke a foot so I kinda needed a re-release.
Dude, I was hoping you’d review this one! And yes, you do need this one!
In Hatter We Trust! 🎩
This makes the rest of the figures inconsistent w/ Bebop & Rocksteady 2.0 not having cell shading.. luckily I don't need these, like I dont need the Pizza Club Turtles or Punk Turtles 🤷♂️
Not true, there's several figures that don't have the cell shading, they've also moved to making it more subtle in places. They fit right in fine.
Yeah my first release bebop had a bad foot joint and my rocksteadys leg and torso are trash
How straight are rocksteady's eyes in the new release?
Mine got a broken legs. And neca never replaced them.
I really want these. so far I've only seen the robo versions at my local targets, so they either haven't gotten them or they've already been picked up.
i dont see anything 2.0 about these, seems same stiff body and joints, hope they can re do these with new smooth joints
These guys were the reason I got into the line. They are still my favorite
I was never able to get bebop and rock steady besides the super versions. Didn't get Rex 1 but I got the evil one, never got og turtles but got a loose Ralph because that's my boy. I finally got all turtles but it was the new pizza single collection

Helmet not included!
@@madhatterreviews6705 Oh. If that helmet wasn't included, I'm out for sure.

No helmet? :( 🦏🪖🐗🕶⛓️
Someone out there is missing out on $$ to digitally print them
it comes in the accessory pack sold separately

The new Rocksteady has a lazy eye😂
You need a portal between both 2 packs like they are looking at alternate dimensions

I want to know if the reissued robot bebop and rocksteady are exactly the same or different like these.
The Pizza Club turtles feel a lot better, too. Better materials and better joints for all old releases, please.
if u have the old ones would u get the new ones?
Finding them is pain in ass. These feel like a chase set
Yup I checked 14 different targets and none of these but other haul stuff. CRAZY! Then I heard only cert targets got them and only two per store
Dude.. I saw the first release.. bought it.. and that is how it all started for me lmao😅
Did the Super Bebop & Mighty Rocksteady pack have the same leg issues? Trying to decide on getting a new pack if its updated for Haulathon.
@baldboykev01Not sure I mean I have them but keep most of my stuff sealed in packaging!🦏🦔🦸♂🦹♂
Hey bud , You would not have by any chance a foot cruiser vehicle . Does this bebop and rocksteady fit inside it ?

Let the milking begin! 😂 exactly 🤣
the reissues mog the old ones
Where can i find his set?
Saw this two pack March 22, 2020 at the homie James house in Reseda. Found it the next week at target in Granada Hills and it's been CRACK 2.0 jk
Where do you get the Rocksteady helmet?
accessory pack
These look great but my set is the Super7.
Do both have articulation in the jaw?
Damn! I saw this in Target and passed on them. I already have 3 of this. But now the nerd in me must get this newer version of it.
Wouldn't medication be cheaper? Lol
I'm getting PTSD from seeing these.. the first experience of sclapers and expending the toy hunt to target employees buying them up...😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
The first one dont bring the helmet ? 😮
A fellow mad lad. Cheers. 🥂🎩
Thank you for the mention Sir! Always willing to support the channel for sure. Thank you for all the content you put out.
Is that upc different?
Also, where did you get that rocksteady helmet?
Where can I get the helmet?
The helmet was in the cartoon accessory pack

Bebop, Rocksteady, and Leatherhead all had leg breaks as soon as I tried to pose them. I’m on the fence about getting these again.
They removed paint apps. Nope!
If they would’ve used the wider feet from super bebop these would be an instant get! I’m still torn
Neca is a horrible company that price gouges and creates artificial scarcity.
Thanks for the comparison now I know I need the new one as well lol
