So apparently the bandaged arm swaps out on the right arm, not left (although it's really just the forearm that gives it away). Also, I guess technically raph is the one with the more scars on the chest and the grimace. Although I dont mind rolling with an evil smile Raph. Thanks for letting me know peeps!
If you lift their heads up, it has each of their initials inside that says who is who. I just got done rewatching this video and wanted to let you know. Cause you’re truly amazing!!! Thank you for all you do. 😉
Bro this has been the best review for these figures yet I'm a fan of the channel you put me on to mercari got most of my figures from over there especially my neca stuff so bro I appreciate you appreciate you
You can tell which turtle they are based off of the heads. If you take off the head sculpt of each of them, there should be a letter in the inner side of the head to signify which turtle it is.
I can’t get my donetello’s bicep to twist. I’ve used a blow dryer , debating if it’s worth dipping in boiling water or do I just ignore it since it’s not really super important.
I really appreciate the in-depth reviews you give, love seeing all angles of the figures and the box art. Not to mention the links for these in the previous videos! These are absolutely ridiculously tempting. When I started collecting TMNT I told myself it wasn't going to get out of hand and I find that it's rapidly getting out of hand..
Hey Mad Hatter thanks for the great video and these Turtles look amazing! Quick question, which would you say is better and worth it the mirage turtle 4 pack or the turtles in disguise 4 pack?
I missed the pre-order and initial release of these earlier this year. Are these going to be released in stores like Wal-Mart of Best Buy sometime in 2024? Have been waiting a long time for something like these.
Hey Mad Hatter, I can’t wait for these. I ordered mine from AliExpress after I saw your video. Thank you very much for the recommendation. How long did your set take to come?
Forgive my ignorance as I am just getting into collecting but am a life long fan. I signed up for the NECA newsletter, and they sent me a link to pre-order these figures but said they ship out June 2024. How do you have them now, and are the ones sold on Ali Express fake??
Great video! the box art is amazing and the figures look great!! I remenber you reviewing the Turtles in disguise a couple of years ago how excited you were but you definitely were pumped for this 4 pack.🏆
Any chance you tried swapping the 08 head to the 23 body? I was planning on attempting myself just for a different set of looks. Those smiles look a bit flat to me tbh.
They look great. I am not sure if I will ever get my hands on them, as the only possible option right now is ebay. Which is weird, why would NECA sell half of what they offer on retailers and the rest in US only stores?
Regarding who is who, if you pop the heads off each turtle has their first initial embossed on the inside. Mikey is the one with the most teeth showing.
Given how they're packaged, I wanna say you're right with the one you picked to be Raph, since the disguise and sai are closest to him. Though I kinda like the angry head more for Raph, because... it's Raph.
Finally they made my Ninja turtles. I guess I'm into buying NECA Ninja turtles now. I started off with the last Ronin and 100% of getting these! So excited!
Man, love seeing the availability of these. It's like EVERYONE is finding them which is a welcomed change. Too bad that toon accessory pack wasn't the same. Still hunting or waiting for the restock or Neca online order. Refuse to pay the extra via Ali as that is my in case of emergency break glass option 😂
They look so good! My order from your AliExpress shout out is getting ready to arrive in Australia, and I'm so excited! You legit might've gotten me into collecting NECA Mirage TMNT stuff... you monster. I appreciate it... but my wallet doesn't.
I'm pretty sure you have Mikey and Raph confused, Mikey was more apt to smile in the Mirage books, and the Raph figure has way more shell scarring. I wonder if the cowl would fit easier on the actual Raph figure?
There was an old comic book cover, where Michelangelo was in the background, and he was squatting down, holding his nunchucks, and you seen his black silhouette, and the outline of his smile. And it was this same type of evil looking smile that he uses just like in the 2000 series. His smile looked a little evil sometimes. Plus, Raphael is the one who has the menacing face, which makes sense because he has the most scarring and battle damage on him out of all the turtles.
These designs remind me so much of the 2003 TMNT (I think they may have had those designs from that show based on these Jim Lawson designs?), I feel like NECA should do an accessory pack with alternate heads with the different colored bandannas as a reference to that series since I doubt NECA or another company is going to make any merch based on that era of the Turtles (which is really unfortunate)
I am GREEN with envy. Been hunting with no successes, but luckily i know they will come sooner or later. They look great! Mirage line is gonna be a banger 🤙
hahah yeah dude, theyre hot! I will say too that once that Target Geek event hits this Friday they'll be going up online so hopefully thats another shot
My issue with them ( at least from what ive seen in videos) is that the paint looks neon green. The prototypes had an incredible dark green that made seem more adult. Can you comment on that if it is the lights ?
they could have given more uniqueness. Like all the bandanas are going over the same shoulder. Raph could be a little bigger than the others. The shells could be more unique.
I agree with everyone saying the one with more scratches is Raph, and the smiling one is Mikey, but that's not how they're packed or picture on the back of the package.
I got a set of these figures the other day at Target. I found just one on the shelf and I knew I wanted to have this set. I've been collecting the NECA TMNT releases and I thought it would be nice to have a set of the turtles that represented their appearance in the original Mirage comics. I thought of displaying these figures with the Mirage Splinter that recently got released. I wish I hadn't missed out on the Ultimate Foot Ninja figures I found alongside this set.
I believe the backdrop is taken from issue #21 of the original Mirage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle run where the turtles defeat Shredder and burn his body on a floating funeral pyre. Awesome review!👍 I’m hoping to find this set myself.
I found one today. There were about 5 people looking at it. Kept putting it back on the shelf due to the price. Once they all had their share of molesting the box, i went for dirty seconds and just grabbed it. Felt like a rockstar walking back to the register while they all watched me pay for it. lol had to take my pocketknife out as I walked back to my truck just in case they rushed me in the parking lot. lol anyways, i feel like i just purchased a set of predators cause they all look the fkn same.
I had to call in some lending favors but I was able to grab these and april at target. my only real gripe is the same gripe I have with most figures, if the figure uses melee weapons then they need to have the vertical wrist hinge.
My Target apparently has 2 in their warehouse unpacked, but they were told they can't sell them until the 25th. I hope that's true and I don't go there on the 25th and find out they sold them well beforehand. Of course, I'm going to continue going to this Target every few days just in case they do put it out early.
Happi for you. I am. And I know you do a great job of helping fans have snowballs chance in trying to score many of these products. I just don’t understand why NECA makes getting products like this so difficult. I go to their website… No info. I go to BBTS… No info. It’s like, unless you’re hip to all the hoops, down for quests, know the secret handshakes, etc.; you’ll have to settle for collecting these vicariously. As the kids say, “It is what it is.”
Dude and those of us with disabilities who can't hunt logistically are really past the snowball I'm so pissedat neca and theor false demand practices. Why can I get a SooSoo toys Gambit figure 400 pieces worldwide from deep China with no damn issue but a neca turtle set nada bumpkiss unless paying a scalper. Juat let me enjoy the hobby without dealing woth employees of retailers and full time hunter resalers takimg my money and alot of it. Neca shadow dropping shit has to stop as well.
So apparently the bandaged arm swaps out on the right arm, not left (although it's really just the forearm that gives it away). Also, I guess technically raph is the one with the more scars on the chest and the grimace. Although I dont mind rolling with an evil smile Raph. Thanks for letting me know peeps!
Damn you sir! Making me scream at my phone like this! I’ll never forgive you for this! 😂
yeah, felt weird not giving Mikey the smile. but as you said who cares as long as you're happy with the setup.
I was like “how does he not see that one isn’t RAPH!” Lol
I was thinking the same. To me it was a no brainer. Now Leo was the hard one😂.
@@therealguru9019 hahaha My giant toon Raph has the evil smile head, it's not my fault!
If you lift their heads up, it has each of their initials inside that says who is who. I just got done rewatching this video and wanted to let you know. Cause you’re truly amazing!!! Thank you for all you do. 😉
As soon as these come out with the different colored bandanas and skin tones, I'll be all over this. These figures look awesome!
Like 2003?
I think Raph is on the left because of all the scrapes and cuff marks on his chest/front plate of shell
Actually you can look at the back of the box to figure it out
That would be my guess as well
I think the same
Ya I noticed that too he's got the most scuffs all over his front plate and he's got a more angry look going on
@@kaydee1485 🤦♂️people are slow. Use your 🧠
I think Raph has way more scratches on his shells than the other turtles
He be scrappin
@@Collect2Disconnect thousand percent 👊🏽💥
or you could look at the back of the box and see that it isn't raph 😂😂😂
@@267BR If you pop off the turtles' head, you can see the initials. The scratched up body does belong to Raph.
Bro this has been the best review for these figures yet I'm a fan of the channel you put me on to mercari got most of my figures from over there especially my neca stuff so bro I appreciate you appreciate you
Love the support brother!

The turtles look SO good that I feel like I couldn't even focus on the accessories when you were showing them.
They do look snazzy
I really appreciate the in-depth reviews you give, love seeing all angles of the figures and the box art. Not to mention the links for these in the previous videos! These are absolutely ridiculously tempting. When I started collecting TMNT I told myself it wasn't going to get out of hand and I find that it's rapidly getting out of hand..
06:58 Raph is easy to tell! His plastron is more heavily scratched than Mikey!
Congrats on 12k subs my guy! 🎉 🥳 Perfect review video of the 4 Lawson bros to celebrate the sub milestone. Well done 👍
Dope review mad hatter. Planning on hunting these this week 🤙🏼

Need them. City at War is the best TMNT story of all time. Hits home reading as an adult and how much of it is about trying to move on.
Great video! the box art is amazing and the figures look great!! I remenber you reviewing the Turtles in disguise a couple of years ago how excited you were but you definitely were pumped for this 4 pack.🏆
in your opinion witch do you like more the toons or these?
Dope review, but you were right at first. Mickey has the creepy smile and if you look closely, Raph has more scratches around the front and back.
Got mine today at Target in Chicago! Love your reviews!
yo man ur excitement gots me juiced!!!!!
Any chance you tried swapping the 08 head to the 23 body? I was planning on attempting myself just for a different set of looks. Those smiles look a bit flat to me tbh.

Bingo. Great call.
best info yet, amazing bro! thank you
So painful, I prefer the belt initials.
right, Mikey is the only one smiling/grinning
Given how they're packaged, I wanna say you're right with the one you picked to be Raph, since the disguise and sai are closest to him. Though I kinda like the angry head more for Raph, because... it's Raph.
"Shouldn't you be killing camp counselors?"😂😂😂😂 great review!!!

Alibaba expresssss!
How much do they cost?
I very luckily got this set from my corrupt Target, super pleased with it. As always, killer review Hatter!
Are these Target exclusives or something? Where can you get them? What is MSRP?
I love these, but I do have a question. Why are these near impossible to find anywhere I just don’t understand
These figures are beautiful...excellent work on this awesome set.
Hey did any ones splinter and foot solider shipped? Allie express?
That backdrop is amazing. I wonder if that's a subtle hint to what comes next from NECA...
legit in awe of these dudes. I searched all over and finally got em
I'm pretty sure you have Mikey and Raph confused, Mikey was more apt to smile in the Mirage books, and the Raph figure has way more shell scarring. I wonder if the cowl would fit easier on the actual Raph figure?
Raph is the one with more battle damage/sketch marks on his shell and belt
Thanks man, made the switch!
@@madhatterreviews6705 No problem! I also wouldn't have known if it wasn't for the Neca checklists they put out
No words, just can't wait to get mine 😢
I would display three of them behind the last ronin unarmored . Great review might need to get these too
I finally picked these up. They are very well made, probably one of the best tmnt figs you can purchase at the moment.
Epic. The Casey pun in the outro made me spit out my drink.😂
13.07 was that a bit of the plastic strapping stuck to Shredders arm, 🦅 👁
13:07
When will they put this up for pre order? Is it exclusive to a store or what?
Those look fantastic! The box looks like it is in great shape. I should have jumped on the Ali Express train like everyone else.
There was an old comic book cover, where Michelangelo was in the background, and he was squatting down, holding his nunchucks, and you seen his black silhouette, and the outline of his smile. And it was this same type of evil looking smile that he uses just like in the 2000 series. His smile looked a little evil sometimes. Plus, Raphael is the one who has the menacing face, which makes sense because he has the most scarring and battle damage on him out of all the turtles.
Which issue does the cover you are talking about appear on?
These designs remind me so much of the 2003 TMNT (I think they may have had those designs from that show based on these Jim Lawson designs?), I feel like NECA should do an accessory pack with alternate heads with the different colored bandannas as a reference to that series since I doubt NECA or another company is going to make any merch based on that era of the Turtles (which is really unfortunate)
Man if neca was to do a 2003 turtles figures and characters from that series. I would buy it instantly!
How does one get these?
@Mad Hatter Reviews Awesome Review Hatter, as always. Yeah this Mirage Turtles 4 pack looks amazing, can't wait to get mine 🤞
Did u get it from Ali express or target ?
This one was from Target, Ali should be coming in
I am GREEN with envy. Been hunting with no successes, but luckily i know they will come sooner or later. They look great! Mirage line is gonna be a banger 🤙
hahah yeah dude, theyre hot! I will say too that once that Target Geek event hits this Friday they'll be going up online so hopefully thats another shot
My issue with them ( at least from what ive seen in videos) is that the paint looks neon green. The prototypes had an incredible dark green that made seem more adult.
Can you comment on that if it is the lights ?
They do look a little too bright.
These are the ones from the Nes 1st TMNT videogame front cover, right?
I have my shredder in the house today😁 from alliaexpress. Thanks to you😉👍🏿. The box is oke 😁
Picked mine up today along with Bugman. A nice worker got it for me out of the back 🙌🏼 I wanted to ask about April but I didn’t want to push it
The artwork is amazing
THESE are the Turtles I have been waiting for since NECA started making them.
Is it possible to remove the tail?
I love that u are also into collecting tmnt I am obsessed with mirage and comic tmnt original neca
Based on the images shown at SDCC Raph is the one with more of the lines/markings on front.
Madhatter did it again! Can’t stop won’t stop
they could have given more uniqueness. Like all the bandanas are going over the same shoulder. Raph could be a little bigger than the others. The shells could be more unique.
For $150.00 I 👍 agree.
Love the fact that Donatello has no damn glasses on‼️
Awesome review bro! They’re definitely a must have 🔥Oh and you are most welcome 👍🏼
We still need that Archie Comics Ralph in black suit
These are really nice 👍 great review
I agree with everyone saying the one with more scratches is Raph, and the smiling one is Mikey, but that's not how they're packed or picture on the back of the package.

Are the scratches sculpted on the body or is it painted?

From “Return to New York”
Saw these out in the wild at Target today!
Can someone explain to me when these figures go up for pre order? Are they store exclusive or what?
What is the retail release details on these. Didn’t jump on the ali express wagon
Tails! That's awesome, I haven't opened mine yet to see that.
Congrats on 12k Hatter
Great video, glad to see them as it'll be the closest I'll get to them living in the UK
Damn this a great set bro 😲😯😱😱👍🏿 i want it to
Where are these exclusive to?
Damn dude you better buy that kraven guy a free dinner for finding this for you.
Cowabunga these are awesome tmnt mirage ninja turtles. great review mad hatter.
from left to right it's leo, raph, mike and don. Their mouths are all different, and leo obviously has the cross strap for holding his swords
I found one today. There were about 5 people looking at it. Kept putting it back on the shelf due to the price.

Oh my... These are gloriously good. I'm literally on my way to Target now!
Is a store going to sell these for hunting?
Wow..these are figures of year! Their perfection! I felt more excitment from seeing this review than the girls im slamming on my vacation!
Where can we buy these? Also Raph has more scars than Mikey
First.... stoked to get mine! Great review Hatter
The extra scars would be Raph, my guess
I had to call in some lending favors but I was able to grab these and april at target. my only real gripe is the same gripe I have with most figures, if the figure uses melee weapons then they need to have the vertical wrist hinge.
Where did that Mirage April come from? I somehow missed the existence of that figure!
My Target apparently has 2 in their warehouse unpacked, but they were told they can't sell them until the 25th. I hope that's true and I don't go there on the 25th and find out they sold them well beforehand. Of course, I'm going to continue going to this Target every few days just in case they do put it out early.
I would guess the turtle with the gritting teeth that has more scratches/scars on the shell would be Raph
Hopefully NECA makes a Jim Lawson Shredder.
These new mirage Turtles are dope,but them footsoldiers are badass 🔥 🔥 🔥

@@EddieTHead2266 I feel ya.
Once I buy these, I’m gonna paint that headband (but I wonder which kind of paint)
I hate you Hatter!!! Damn these looks legit. Can't wait to get mine. Hope my boxes aren't torn to shreds.
I found if you pop the heads off, the letter of their name is engraved on the inside of the head. The smile one is Mike.
Can’t wait to get mine!
Also, the turtle design is Jim Lawson, but the box art was done by Kevin Eastman
It's not Jim Lawson at all. That's misinformation that spread like wildfire.
