I don't care what anyone says, I love this set, and such a great value for $13 with all of the accessories and slightly larger figures. I managed to come home with the 2 shipper displays as well as 2 sets 😅
These are awesome!!!! A nice upgrade from the originals while keeping the same aesthetic. Articulation could be better, but we loved these as kids when they were bricks. I just really hope the line continues and we can count on a Splinter, Bebop, Rocksteddy, and finally a proper retro Shredder not crouched awkwardly because he was too tall for the standard packaging
Actually, this is a modern version of the ‘88 while still keeping its same intent for “real” collectors (like me). I own the ‘88 remake version, & I will def. buy this new version bc I prefer this take bc of the added articulation; the ‘88 line only had 5 points of articulation.
I'm sure it will be a matter of time before someone makes a resin cast of the head and repaints them or someone copies the mezco heads for fun. also looks like i'm going to walmart today.
Side by side with the sketch turtles it’s no contest- sketch turtles are wonderful and these are… $12.97. The diorama pieces are pretty neat though. Still looking for a set, hopefully Target puts them online one of these days as I don’t have much time to toy hunt anymore.
Why does Donnie’s bo have a lighter purple wrap on it? Not a fan of the weapons having color matching. I guess kids would enjoy it that way idk. All they really needed to do was ankle pivots & it would’ve been a huge improvement
AzToyhunters coming through with news, leaks and first reviews! I wasn't going to pick these up. but my son wants them because they have better articulation than the OG turltes lol. Still trying to get the first sketch turtles. Hopefully amazon has them in stock soon. great video dude!
I like the other weapons that they come with more then the original weapons. Almost like evil clone weapons. I wonder if they will keep doing all the classic figures with the modern articulation? Like you said fans wanted the motu origins articulation but just on these figures. It would also take down the cost of some of those end of the line classic turtle figures. Because some people would be like better posing and I'm not spending like $900 on a scratch the cat figure. Super seven did it so playmates get on it. Also fix the feet to have better range.
Im ok with this even the the terrible mutant mayhem articulation except the swivel ankles. The cops need to be called about that lol. More paint would of been nice, less pickle texture and giving leo the sad eyes. And donnie brown have a purple tint. Idk if i like that. Lol but in the end, its what i been asking for. Articulated 87 figures.
Hmm, the 'pickled skin' texture I ain't vibin either! Otherwise they seem cool! But I already have the re-release of the originals; if not for those I guess I'd get these!
After seeing your review i think the dio is the best part about this set im in love with my sketch turtles im hoping i can gdt the black and white version next
Probably alone with this, but I could have used a little more time for these to start showing up. Constantly one thing after another 😅 Appreciate your review !
A crappy thing about these, the recent amazon exclusive technodrome that has come up for preorder is smaller than the original, yet these figures are taller than the original releases. Sometimes i just dont understand the decisions these companies make. Its like the ghostbusters "plasma series" ecto-1 doesnt scale with the plasma series figures. that kind of stuff makes me lose interest in a toy line.that being said, loved the review, i had been waiting to see someone get these in hand and review them. 👍
Playmates had one job, just make new legs and arms henge and swivel elbows, knees, wrist and ankles and have the heads be swappable. That would of been perfect.
hopefully they fix the legs and give us all the classic and hard to get figures with better posing. For $12.97 and a diorama piece good enough i guess. But the first sketch turtles are better for $15.
For $12ish that is a heck of a deal. I wish more companies followed suit. Great review. Def looking for a set or two of these
Thank you. Eventually I’ll get a second set

I saw that in the FB group. Awesome
Stalking Walmart begins lol
They are getting out there this week it seems

Playmates keeps trying to convince us Raphael is mint green

Can't wait for Bebop and Rocksteady!
I wasn't considering these until you said the price.
I'm sure it will be a matter of time before someone makes a resin cast of the head and repaints them or someone copies the mezco heads for fun. also looks like i'm going to walmart today.
They are dope and the price is right. Just can't get over the texture
Супер ниндзя черепашки 👍🏻🐢🔥💪🏻
Playmates… every one grew up .. if you want to compete with Mattel. Do with they did with the orgins line. Otherwise it’s just another re release smh.
Picking up Donny and Leo

Amazon has an exclusive set of the sketch turtles that comes with a book. It hasn’t gone live yet
These are walmart exclusive.
@@aztoyhuntersguildwhen does it go live? I never heard of that
@@Jtvvv not sure. Playmates isn’t good about marketing or communication
@@aztoyhuntersguild true
Great review! God bless!
Thank you. Appreciate you watching
I love it bro childhood memories
Great video!!!!!👍👍👍💥
Thank you. Appreciate you watching

Adding that articulation to the ankles would’ve definitely made a big impact
Great video
Thank you
I was able to get the original sketch figures nor sure if i wanna get these get but they look amazing
I love how hypocritical people are, "ooh, they're ugly, they look like pickles, btw I JUST BOUGHT THE ENTIRE SHIPPER OF THEM BROS!!"
Every time
😂
I really want to get Leo, and then the rest if they ever go on sale.
Thanks for posting. The heads I think are the biggest issue, but not big enough to pass on them.
Thanks for watching
Meh, the heads can be swapped and repainted. The texture is a bigger issue. Harder to fix.

Thank you. Hope you find everything you are after. These Walmart ones seem like they’ll be easier to find
@jdelacadena Not first. A guy on Facebook did a video before he did.

Will the vintage weapons fit in the hands of these guys? Also do you know if these are hitting in Tucson?
They are hitting Phoenix area pretty hard. I would imagine Tucson should get them soon if not already
These are more like the movie star turtles with articulation that's all
Actually at Toyfair the dude from playmates straight up told pixel dan these were a "Collectors line with more featured characters to come"
Mind you im not saying youre wrong im talking about Playmates going bonkers with things these days.
Collectors is a broad statement. They didn’t gear these to the toy posing community
Im ok with this even the the terrible mutant mayhem articulation except the swivel ankles. The cops need to be called about that lol.

I hope can get that set too
Pretty cool i need to buy them hopefully they have them at my local walmarts
Hope you find them soon
Did they have the ray fillet? I see the flocked Splinter!
No Ray
O man did know they was out?? I need to run before they all go!!!
Good luck out there
12.97? ill get 2 , mine will probably never have these..I dont go full sets anymore
Playmates is really good at getting turtles out there.
Probably alone with this, but I could have used a little more time for these to start showing up. Constantly one thing after another 😅
Appreciate your review !
I feel you on that. SDCC exclusives are ramping up and a lot of toys are hitting shelves this month. Thank you for watching

Not sure if these companies think things through sometimes. Thank you for watching. Appreciate it
I wish my Walmart carried these😂
If you are in the U.S they should
Are the parts easily swap-able for customization like origins? You probably said so in the video but I may have missed it.
I didn’t try and I don’t believe they are meant too
At the end of the day, pretty disappointing modern updates. Should have gone the Origins route with articulation.
Agreed. I hope they do try and give us something like that.
My shitty Walmart will either get these in late fall or just not get them
I hope sooner than that. These are supposed to tie in with the series
Did they ever go up online Walmart ?
Not yet
Playmates had one job, just make new legs and arms henge and swivel elbows, knees, wrist and ankles and have the heads be swappable. That would of been perfect.

What city and state ? Anything hit Southern California?
People in SoCal are finding them
It doesn't seem like the belts are removable, but can you at least adjust the straps on Leo and Don?
I’ll have to check that out
I think they should have kept the brownish orange weapons like the action figures
It would’ve been nice to get the weapons tree
I like these ones better but if the gave them on a sprew treee that would work
Son sinilares al molde de Tmnt lat ronin playmates???
Doesn't it bother anyone else that 3 of the 4 had the wrong name on the box?
😂 Good catch. That was a retake and didn’t check that when I put them back in
What area is that Walmart in?
Phoenix
These don’t have the same level of articulation as the super 7 ones but these with the dios just show how the super 7 ultimates are so overpriced
I agree with super7 being overpriced
They swapped Leo and dons head they messed up
Unfortunately
I cannot find these in California AT ALL!
Keep looking. People are finding them out there
👏🤘🤘🤘
Playmates rule! Best value and quality I prefer toys to adult collectibles you can’t touch w/ out pre-treating figure great review thx
yea don to brown
They gave them acne? Lmao
Yep. Odd choice
@@aztoyhuntersguildWell they are teenagers after all 😊
Whats irritating is that the amount of work they put into the molds for the figures, that they dont add great articulation.
