I know that rough week feeling. Bring on the toys! Good to finally get all four together, now we can look forward to the wacky variants. The bo staffs are supposed to be the same, yours is unfortunately warped. The staff is about the same size as the original playmates version, so I think it is too small since these turtles are 7" scale not 4". Maybe they made it that short to fit the weapons rack or something, like with Casey's really short hockey stick. I love the modern head sculpt, I hope Splinter gets one in the future.
I like the alternate head best but my only problem is I think it needs more paint around the mouth, it looks like it all blends together, cheap looking kinda
I ordered early last year the Super7 4 pack of these turtles. Now that Donny is out, I'm hoping they finally start shipping that pack. Exciting time for Turtle fans. Great review. Donny is my second favorite turtle too!
Always hit a like before I even start the vid because I know it's gonna be quality. I really dig all 4 of the brothers. Looking forward to getting my variants plus Party Wagon (Turtle Van) in hand. Cowabunga!
Great review! I agree on the inconsistent finishes in the line; it's pretty much the only thing keeping it from being perfect! Most seem to have a good matte finish (not as flat as it could be, but still nice), but every so often you get a glossy one. So far April and Metalhead have been the worst offenders, but wave 4 all seem to have pretty nice flat colors! I'm hoping that'll be the norm from now on, especially with Ray Fillet and Slash coming up this year...
Closest thing to that weapon I could find is a kyoketsu-shoge, though in the videos and photos it’s always attached to a rope and heavy metal ring. Playmates called it a kama, but it doesn’t look like that.
Did you feel like Donatello's neck was extra long? I took the head off and realized they didn't drill as deep a hole into the head when I compared it to Mikey.
The original playmats TMNT packaging refers to that weapon (with the hook and straight blade together) as a kama. Even though that's not quite what a kama looks like in real life, that's what it looks like to a ninja turtle I guess. Great review as always!

Always glad to hear "Muckmans box is huge". Haha *For me personally Mikey still looks the best, and will always be my favourite. But great seeing all the Turtles together. Maybe in the future I will be able to pick these up cheap 2nd hand. Just have Bater for the moment, to go along with my OG Baxter and the NECA one.
Great review! I reviewed all four wave 4 figures together on my channel, Muck Man is of course the star of the wave but Mondo holds a special place for me since he was my favorite vintage figure as a kid. My ocd was very, very happy getting Donnie and completing the 4 brothers (with Splinter too of course!) And yeah, totally agree with you about the bo staff being too short and yes, I also had a very bent one with my Donnie figure. I ended up putting the non-bent bo in the holder on his belt in the back and I got the bo staff from the playmates "classics" re-release Donnie figure (the one from the 2pack with Shredder) to pose with him holding it. Honestly, it looks great and I was so happy that I actually bought that set, because before I was kind of shaking my head like why did I buy this? That bo is the perfect length for the Super7 Donatello in my opinion, I was going to paint it, but honestly it looks good as is. I'm looking forward to your thoughts about the other figures, I had a really hard time getting the trash can on Muck Man's back and my Mondo did have some paint flubs (first time I have ever had a QC issue with Super7 TMNT, my wave 3 figures were all great believe it or not). I also love how you posed Leo with his swords, I might have to steal that pose from you!
Question, how is the quality of these compared to Neca? I have had Super 7 Raph ordered for like a year, and I only have 1 other Super7 figure Metalhead, but I don't know Metalhead feels cheaper?? than my Neca figs. I do like them based off the original toys though....
Personally I have had much more QC issues with NECA TMNT figures and almost none with the Super7 versions, I'm sure it's hit or miss, I've seen complaints about both. I guess I have just really lucked out with my Super7 figs and def not with NECA, only perfect ones I've gotten from NECA have been Chrome Dome and Antrax/Scumbug
Hatter, yeah sometimes a new aquisition helps when you got the Mondays or life throws you a curve🤷 that Donny nuetral head sculpt works. I am glad you can complete the quartet 🙂 'put them up against that Bebop, it will make super photography. 👍✌️
I just got the Donnie, so nice I’m tempted to get the others but I think I will still save my money and get all the brothers in their variant outfits instead
Be careful with the left crotch joint on muckman. It's tight and seems the peg sticks out further than the right peg and gets stress marks on it. Mine already got it trying to get his leg to kick outwards to the side.
i am still waiting on my order ftom almost a year ago when they offered the 4 turtles as a group ... then also waiting on ray witch was ordered a few weeks or days later they take a long time to get orders out
Because the Ray wave was scheduled for a February 2022 release and now its been pushed back twice more since then. Now Ray's wave doesn't come out til after Slashs wave (which is April/June release).
@@madhatterreviews6705 that is a bummer! I don’t recall ever seeing it, and I am pretty vigilant about watching your turtle videos, so I thought I had really messed up somehow or it wasn’t currently available. Thank you for the response!
Thank you so much dude! So stoked you're stoked on the stuff I made! 🐢🤙
Hell yes. 42 years young out here in tmnt town.
im almost sold on the Super 7's, I wish they looked like that when i was a kid.
I can’t wait until we get alternate heads with the new figures. This line is a turtle fan dream come true
Just went and picked my favorite turtle up Donatello

Oh sweet I joined the party wagon last week already

To save any one a Google search, the unnamed item is a bad ass Japanese weapon known as a Kama
Those super 7 figs look awesome dude 👍. Thts how I'd do it also w/all 4 brothers together, bcuz it's way better to hve all 4 instead of 1 or 3

Very enthralling TMNT

These are becoming my favorite line...Between the articulation and nestalgia I love em

I have three minus the Mikey. Couldn’t do it. Using the surfer Mikey to round out my turtles

Super 7 makes some AMAZING TMNT figures. They look great together. Hurts so bad I had to let these go.
Thank you for the review Mad hatter !!
No worries!

The Bow is way to short/ I swapped with the NECA original comic 2009 line

I think that hook weapon is Shoge
It's a kama.
Kyoketsu-shoge
They look cool, might have to spend some of my neca money on em 😆
Only your second favorite turtle??? I'm disappointed in you, Hatman... 😑

@@wesleysteeleiv and the 4 turles pack when is that to be expected
Raphael on the way. On stock on Ee
Damn bro I literally just put mines on my shelf just now and open up YT and this video came up! Lol
Also I agree about the bo as well wish it was longer.
I skipped the variants.
Did hatter ever review Michelangelo? 🤔
Alas, I did and the video got deleted :(

Even as a kid the faces on these annoyed me given how inaccurate they were to the original cartoon. I do really like that 2nd head though.
