You have an amazing memory, I wish I could remember getting my childhood toys with such detail. Love hearing your turtle stories!
Sweet, I love your Turtles content.
This one totally made my day!
We're so back 😤
I love your content so much man, started collecting vintage tmnt only a few months ago and your channel has been a staple in driving me back to my childhood memories related to this line. It’s great to see a new video come up after l had the others in heavy rotation for so long. Followed your podcast too, it’s been awesome, please keep up the incredible work!
Thank you so much! Honored to hear you enjoy my TMNT content so much! Hopefully I can get it out more frequently.
Let’s go!!
I'm so glad you made a new video you're one of my favorite TMNT collectors on UA-cam and I think. You make the best long format videos
Thanks so much!
Yes! Been waiting for this!
It’s awesome to see a new video from you.
Also Mikey is my all time favourite Turtle from the series
Great video, man! Glad to see a new installment!
Mikey had some great variants! Raph was my favorite as a kid so I got his variants the most, but I think Mikey was second since his designs were so cool. Totally agree on that new Super7 Rappin' Mike, too--something about it feels a bit flat. I think part of the appeal of sculpting all those details into the figure is that they add life to the sculpt and make it feel like one cohesive piece. By making them separate pieces it doesn't have the same energy. The fact that Playmates' original sculpts were all totally original gave them a lot of life--it seems like Super7 starts with the base turtle sculpt and alters it from there. Kinda like NECA parts-sharing with their early toon figures, when you really want every figure to feel unique and fully-realized. I get the reasons behind it, but it's still kind of a bummer.
And I actually liked those crazy Pizza Tossin' figures as a kid! It felt like TMNT mixed with Rat Fink! 😆
Yeah, I believe Super 7 does always use the same standard turtle base for all turtle figures. You definitely hit the nail on the head about why it should all be one cohesive sculpt and not separate pieces. I also feel they just miss a lot of the personality of the figures, too. Several of the items hanging from Mike's belt are gone in the Super 7 one, and his shirt is no longer ripped up, just clean and looking brand new.
And, wow, that's actually a really good way of describing the Pizza Tossers. They really do look like Rat Fink art, and, honestly, seeing them through that lease does make them seem way cooler.
Yo!! New video!!
Also side note, would love to hear your thoughts on what's going on with Super7 lately.
Surfer, rapper, farmer…
The point when Mike got too old for the party life
In the commercial, the presented Shell Slammin’ Mike’s action feature like he was kicking out of a pin I think. Pretty lame though.
Ooooh, never would have guessed that! Yeah, pretty lame.
@@brendansrambles9464 I found the commercial:

Grate video but if you don't mind me asking why do you call him Mike instead of mikey just curious 😅
Thanks. They called him "Mike" all throughout the toyline, and they actually never called him "Mikey" in the 87 cartoon either, I believe. The only bit of media I was exposed to as a kid that actually called him "Mikey" were the live action movies (I believe that's where it originated). So most of my life I just knew him as "Mike". It just sort of stuck.
@@brendansrambles9464 oh OK didn't know that as a fan who grew up in the 2010s they just called him mikey and don donnie so it's interesting to me that that was a think thanks
Mike Bandito is my favorite but can't see it in your review 😢
I actually had a lot to say about Bandito Bashin' Mike, but unfortunately I no longer own him, and he's pretty expensive complete these days. I might breifly cover him when I talk about Crazy Cowboy Don since that's the only Wild West Turtle I still own.
@@brendansrambles9464 crazy cowboy Don is my favorite fig ever along with Leo Wolfman ... How would you rank it? And overall you have any fav fig?
