Your disdain for boxes is palpable and exquisite. Nostalgia Hates Boxes. Me? I'm the opposite. I keep the boxes and toss the toys. Sometimes I just collect the plastic filler and the ties used to hold the figures in place
Hahaha, I dig it. 🤣 I only like boxes when they are works of art. Like the SDCC Mutant Mayhem line!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed The box for Motherboard looks pretty fun both in box design and the art displayed on the box
@@schadenfreudeind totally agree!!
I'm super happy with him. I don't know the story well enough to go deep with the NECA stuff, so he's a perfect fit for my humble little TMNT Collection.
I feel that!
I unboxed this one as well as the NECA one on my channel in a comparison video. I was surprised with how great this one was. Still love the NECA one more, but as a more “toy” type figure, Playmates did a great job.
Right there with you! A perfect complement for vintage collectors
Very tempting to get!
I bought all the new TMNT MM figures (Turtles and Splinter anyway) and it's kicked off this massive nostalgia wave with TMNT now.
I feel that! I think this Ronin is a nice way to hit nostalgia without getting the old stuff that can't pose well
I have the black and white one but been debating getting this one as well. Playmates needs to expand this line. I would be in 100%.
They absolutely do!!
I liked your live video with Hatter! You two are the Siskel & Ebert of TOYS. Two Thumbs Up!👍👍🐢🎥
Hahaha, thank you
Ive not been a huge playmates collector but wow this figure is otherworldly imo. I love the idea and will fs be getting this asap
I hope they do more like this
They even had a chase black and white version
Yes! It''s pretty cool!
Wow didn't evenknow this playmates line existed. Great video
Thank you!
I almost want to find one of these. Playmates needs to remake their vintage stuff in this style, I would get those. You mean you don't have a set of those retro bros?? I mean, I just got mine this year but they are a must. Especially with this guy.
I would love for them to push their adult line more
I got this one as a Christmas gift!!!! I love this little guy, he looks so cool!! 🎉🎉
That's a great gift!
I know you’re not big on old things being redone, but this articulation should be given to the vintage sculpts. Playmates is dropping the ball on this, IMO.
I’d also say to take a look at Fury Toys “Not” Leonardo aka Spring, but his third party prices are ridiculous. It’s not Playmates, but the adult collector audience is there.
Yeah I saw that one a little late and the Not Donnie one. They are pretty sweet!
Nailed it
I got this figure from Dorkside Toys during their Going out of Business Sale, and I was BLOWN AWAY at just how GREAT it is!
Not just for the sale price I got it for($10 If I recall), but even for retail I'd say, which I believe was $20 or $30... I admit $30 would be kind of pushing it, but the quality of this Playmates figure is basically like a PREMIUM Vintage TMNT figure, with paint applications, articulation and accessories that go beyond what the Vintage toys did, but still feels reminiscent of the old Playmates TMNT line.
I would LOVE to see more TMNT properties get this "Updated Vintage" treatment... like 2003 TMNT figures in the old Vintage style, or 2012, or perhaps updated 1990 Turtles, since the original one's were pretty darn rough... or even taking the old Wave 1 Figures, resculpting them a bit and adding some articulation and more detailed paint applications and stuff...
They could charge $18-20 for each and I'd definitely be in if the quality was comparable to this Ronin figure!
Yes, I am right there with you
Would you do a comparison of the Playmates and NECA versions of the LAST RONIN figures?
I just got the NECA one Saturday, so I definitely will
I like the reviews, but I stay for the talk of pants crappin’!
Just keeping it real! lol
I got this too and was blown away compared to og playmates
It's wild. They certainly need to do more
Why can't i know people like you in real life? To have a friend would be nice.
sadness!
Lol, the clean back of the head reveal was awesome 😂
how ridiculous
You’re drawings are so sick man! Also don’t forget to moisturise 😉 also love your videos!
Haha, thank you so much
@@NostalgiaUnboxed no problem man!
Some people can unbox and then still keep the figure in the plastic prison LOL and display it that way too! However it would need to be cleaned all the time for dust!🤗👍🕵🐢
Dust is our enemy
I've got the NECA and Playmates, love them both, they look awesome.
Playmates can be Ronin Jr trying to help Pop-pop
@NostalgiaUnboxed I didn't realize you are in Raleigh area, I live in Hickory, nice to meet a fellow North Carolinian.
@@quartercomicsart6610 heck yeah, that’s awesome.
I recently got the 2 neca ones, the book and the 4 lost years comics in 1 stop and the guy said "wow, it's last ronin day." indeed it was
Very nice! With plenty more to come!
Dude... that shirt design is totally freakin cool!!! ❤️👍👍
Thank you so much
Keep the work up you‘ve been doing great if you keep going you‘ll get 10000 subscribers soon
That’s very kind. Thank you!
Don't forget to moisturize your hands. I'm really concerned about that..
COWABUNGA!!!!... lol
Hahaha, thank you
War/Camo paint on the face. So it makes sense it doesnt reach all the way back.
it's grime
Channel is underrated🔥
Thank you so much!
I really love this figure, I did a quick repaint on mine and it’s now one of my favorite turtle figures
Awesome! I would love to see that
@@NostalgiaUnboxedI have sent it to you on Instagram my good man
Can he fit in the Party Wagon?
He fits in the new one but not in the driver’s seat
Yoooo you did that drawing? I keep seeing it every wheres, it keeps getting re posted on fb.
Well, make sure they credit me, please! I saw it posted once without any mention
I love that you point out items that need customization, which now makes me wonder… do you do any figure customization?
I have messed around slightly. Biggest being a repaint of a Funko Mech from TitanFall 2 and then sculpting a beard to the Tobey Maguire Spider-man and painting it to look like me lol
@@NostalgiaUnboxed that’s awesome! I love doing small detail painting, buckles, snaps, a wash, or some dry brushing. Crazy how a small amount of paint can make a figure pop.
Great video again mate. The paint app is so much better from Playmates but if it bothers anyone, the black and white version is amazing even though the comic was never in b&w.
It does look good and a nice variant for sure. Thank you!
I’ve been only NECA movie until a week ago when adding toon April.
Opened up the flood gates!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed The flood have been open. Originally I was just going to collect the 4 movie turtles
Its a cool figure. I feel like Playmates overcharged on it though.
Yeah, regular retail price is a bit high
I saw this at a pop up sale a comic shop near me does often, sadly I didn't have room in my budget to add him on. He's pretty cool looking though.
And if you havent read the comic I highly recommend it, it's really dark but its really good.
If you can get it at a discount I would recommend it, otherwise it's best to just grab the NECA one (which also goes on sale a lot)
I like this figure and the price I'm ok with, great review man
Thank you so much!
Surprisingly I ended up LOVING this version of the Ronin figure over NECA's which I'm passing on. As for this version I also got the Chaste black and white one. Love it!
Nice! Would love to see more like this from Playmates
Wait, have you and Mad Hatter fallen out?! 😲😉
Hahaha. Stay tuned for 8pm
Where’d you get the movie plushes? Are they at the cinemark theatres now?
Yes, Cinemark! Best to get there quickly. It’s been several days since I got them and they barely had anything. This was the last Raph
@@NostalgiaUnboxed yikes the movie isn’t even out yet, thanks for letting me know sir
@@NaeroK87 I believe AMC will get something, too, but I have no knowledge on that
@@NostalgiaUnboxed oh ok cool 👍
I was impressed by this figure when I finally got it…didn’t expect it to be vintage turtle sized, though. I assumed it would be the same size as their “classic” turtle figures when I ordered it. I think I prefer the smaller size, though. My only complaint would be the ankles, I think. Better ankle rocker would have been a plus. But, at least Playmates showed us they can and will make decent collector figures.
What if they remade their retro line in this style?
@@KootenaiKing I’d love to see them do it. They could print money. It would have been nice to see them do it before Super7 jumped in to TMNT, though.
Edit: Thinking about it some more, they could be successful with it if they can keep the prices reasonable. A lot of people have large TMNT collections already and might not be interested in starting new ones (I personally don't have the space for it!). But, if they can keep the figures to less than $30 and produce them at the same level as their Ronin figure, they could do OK. They'd also present a less expensive entry point than Super7 as well as a line of smaller figures that would be easier to fit on shelves. The TMNT market is just so crowded right now with NECA, Super7, the stuff Playmates already does, the "Fury" toys (or whatever they are called), BST AXN, the upcoming Mezco figures, etc. Playmates is in a unique position in that they are the granddaddies of TMNT toys...I just hope they aren't too late to make inroads into the collector space.
Yeah, the ankles could be improved. I just wish there was more paint
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I’m amazed he got as much paint as he did!
@@frankschuler2867 that’s true haha
Amazon had him for $25., & I’m debating jumping into ronin stuff. Aliexpress has necas. For $29!
The NECA ronin popped up for $26 a couple weeks ago on Amazon. I grabbed one at a swap for $25. I’ll be reviewing it soon
@@NostalgiaUnboxed cool! Yeah definitely the better deal of the 2. But playmates is dope , be cool to see them do a couple retro in this fashion, thanks
Funny, I got this just today.
Nice!
I have that one I literally have it in my hand
Excellent!
This figure is confusing because they never released any other Last Ronin figures 😫 I like this figure a lot.
I love it! Grab one!
I haven’t gotten this figure. YET
Wow I’m the first person to like watch and comment on this video thats awesome.
Thank you for watching. AND commenting!
Playmates is good at making fun mass retail kid toys but i don't think they really pull off this kind of figure. Or maybe it's just that my brain can't process it not looking like the comic.
I think it's safely in the realm of Playmates and mostly recommend it for vintage collectors. NECA is my preferred route.
Can you review the neca last ronin next?
Just acquired it Saturday so absolutely!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed nice good for you 👍
When I got my playmate last ronin the back part were you hold the second sai wasn't there so I have to buy another one rip
that's really weird
@@NostalgiaUnboxed tell me about it
$30 is still too much for this quality.
Yes, which is why I recommend the discounted option. Seems to be offered a lot of places for less
can you make a room tour video it would be awesome
I can do another at some point, but you can see an older layout in my Mezco 89 Batman April Fools video
@@NostalgiaUnboxed thank you, also will you review the collectors edition mutant mayhem figures
@@shizzleYT I only have a few hours to decide if I’m gonna get them. Haha. Leaning towards “not” right now.
@@NostalgiaUnboxed yeah true I was thinking the same but I might get one just to say I have one and I think the boxes are pretty cool
I love this figure. And now all I will think when I see is Slim Jim. So thanks for that.
mmmm, beefy
Last ronin ain't the darkest tmnt story that belongs to mirage image comics tmnt and raph and casey spin off story bodycount.
Ohhhhhhh, something new to check out. Thank you!
@NostalgiaUnboxed bodycount is the most violent edgelord and gory of the turtles comic about casey and raph going on a berserk rampage killing abunch of this johnny wuwu goons, then image tmnt vol.3 / tmnt urban legends because raph has his face melted off and has to wear caseys mask and he becomes shredder leo gets his hand bitten off Donatello gets riddled with machine gun bullets dropped out a helicopter from30 feet in the air becomes crippled cyborg with his carapace broken from the fall and he gets turned into a cyborg and splinter gets mutated into a bat mutant, and the original mirage comics are dark because they are nothing like the pizza junkie heroes in a half shell super heroes they are genuinely morally grey and behave the most like ninja who are assassins they kill shredder in issue one which leads them into the cycle of revenge of what orroku nagi shredders brother did which was caused domestic violence and attempted rape on tang shen and orroku saki was molded by the foot into becoming shredder for him to run a crime empire where yoshi and shen retreated to the og comic features tragic themes of them being the only ones of their kind what is their purpose outside of seeking revenge and practicing ninja and tons of messed up moments.
I feel called out 😅 not cool! Lol
For which part? The pants crapping?
@@NostalgiaUnboxed 😂 Cutting to the music and channel intro.
@@BeastieToys hahahaha
Moisturizer!! Lol jk
Shoot, yes, thank you!
I got this 1st... The I got the neca version and now I don't like this one now. Lol sad
haha, for the price this one is a loser! lol
Dude, I thought I was watching a figure review and you stop and just spoil the book?? I own the hardcopy but I haven't had a chance to read it since I got it because of work and caregiver to my mom.
Why are we spoiling books/story etc while talking about figures??
P.S. the MadHatter stuff was very funny
I think the alt comic covers, art, and 3 year span of time since the release are the spoilers
@@NostalgiaUnboxed unless you weren't looking for them, since I missed the initial issue 1 and that price went up so high that I decided to wait it out until the hardbound release... which I have already explained in the previous message.
Just not expecting story spoilers when I think we are just going to be talking about a toy... conversation should start and end there.
Hell, I couldn't get that much from BECAUSE release slate so far since all Turtles are accounted for in the upcoming releases.
But hey, it's your channel. I'm sorry. Just frustrated because I have avoided enough about the story and personally I have enough other shit going on that I'm behind on numerous TV, movies, and books, and I'm not the only one.
Spoiler warnings, or something, can't assume everyone consumes at the same pace with recent stuff.
Again, sorry. Not trying to be over of THOSE people, just frustrated
@@Tenucha well, people either complain because I don’t do research and talk about the history of the figure or they complain because I did.
@@NostalgiaUnboxed personally everything was fine up until "Michaelangelo is the last samurai, everyone else is dead" where I turned off the video and said "oh come on"
It's like...no warning, especially after you said you hadn't read it either. I'm like "oh good, he's a clueless as I am. Just interested in, and reviewing new plastic of our favorite franchise "
Anyways...
@@Tenucha perhaps the solution is to not watch something you haven’t read yet…
I am curious btw, why don't you read the comics? I mean, it's clear you like TMNT. I think you'd enjoy it. Also this one in particular (The Last Ronin) since it's a short self contained story you can get it cheaper and read it easy. Buying digital is even cheaper. You can get a physical copy of The Last Ronin (without The Lost Years) for cheaper than this figure. Might be something worth checking out. Though it might be a bit strange reading it without reading the Mirage comics because the concept of The Last Ronin springs from some conflict established in the Mirage comics. Basically taking Mirage Splinter's obsession for revenge and taking it to its logical conclusion and exploring the consequences. But as I said it is self contained and you'll be able to understand it without reading the Mirage comics probably.
I appreciate this. At the end of the day I think it's just committing my time to it. I am the type of person that always has to be doing something productive
NECA Last Ronin is my figure of the year. I'll wait for NECA to release their toon version, pass on anything Playmates. Playmates spent the last 2 decades making sure their were no collector quality TMNT on the market.
They held back to throw it all out during Mutant Mayhem. Haha. This one has a production date of 2022 though. I’m just late. I’m super pumped for the other NECA brothers from the Ronin line
@@NostalgiaUnboxed You jumped into Turtle collecting at a prime time. Before 2018 all we had was the NECA Mirage set and Playmates "Classics". Now you have BST Action, Super7, NECA, SHF, Amazing Yamaguchi, etc.
i totally need to grab one of these from BBTS. great review.
Thank you! They are cheaper almost everywhere else!
Just got this figure today, it’s an awesome 1-off by itself, but also does make me want more of a playmates ronin line 🥲
Totally
