TMNT Playmates 2023 Storage Shell Leonardo Michelangelo New Reissue Review and Super Comparison 1991

I can totally see these being those "I wasn't really looking to buy these, but I'm sick of leaving Walmart empty handed, so...." kind of purchases.

2 Reviews in 2 days?! Absolutely love it. You're on fire ;)

I wish they would re release the Earthworm Jim collection! I have 3 of the original Earthworm Jim Action figures they are very expensive now! I have Psycrow, Battle damage Earthworm Jim out of the Box I got that one when i was a kid has all the original accessories, and I have the Spring loaded head Earthworm Jim.

They removed those characters to prevent price gougers to resale them as vintage. This were in my wish list. I hope playmates give us more characters!

I think I can answer the question about Mikey's nunchuck holsters. I think the reason why there is three instead of four is because the fourth one would be where the hinge for the shell is. Still makes it look weird though. As far as storing the weapons, the old holsters were just as bad on him, and I've broken many a weapon from trying to remove them.

Excellent work! I'm guessing the changes will go unnoticed for most people, but it'll totally irk some. For the low asking price it's a nice way to have carded examples, especially when Playmates (mostly) acknowledges the value of the original card art.

Picked up Leo, Mike storage shell figures and splinter. I hope playmates continues these releases. I only had raph as kid and would like to get them all. I'd like to see wacky action ones.

Great review. When I was a kid, I only had a few of the 1988 turtles with mostly broken arms (lol). But I got the Michelangelo Storage Shell turtle and absolutely he was my favorite. He was the only variant I would ever have. His colors were more vibrant and he handled play much better than my other turtles. Eventually I grew up and gave all of them away. So I'm pumped these are out again after all these years. But I'm also devastated that Mikey doesn't have his own arms and legs, which I remember so vividly. I remember that foot arch and tight-curled grip on the left hand. I'm also sad that they muted the colors on the storage shell turtles. The colors they used for these new storage shell turtles are more inline with the 1988 colors... slightly more dim and muted. Sad.

Ive managed to collect them all...Lucky me as my country ToysRus have stock tho i need to run frm store to store to grab each and everyone of em... Bring back good old memories!!! 80s Kids toys/cartoons RoCkAwesomE❤❤❤

Great, now I want some.

This is a pretty great review!

my turtles as a kid were always different. like different versions of the turtles. when i saw these at a walmart out of town my brain clicked. i had to have these to finally have a uniform set of classic turtles. i missed out on the standard reissues. i like them for what they are. its nice to have these for the collection. yes it had all 4.

I saw two empty TMNT pegs when I went to Target the other day so it looks like they're selling out in my area, not too bummed as I ordered an original set when I saw your review last year so I'm happy having those.

They need to reissue the rest of the playmate figures especially foots 👣

Awesome video dude. I enjoy the long videos you do, they're a great watch brotha.

Ace video as always Gary

Imo the 88 line was/is the best ever made.

I bet they are not including weapons to make them different from the originals. I wonder if Mikey's one chuck is smaller to fit it in the shell.

It's an interesting comparison...🤔...and nonetheless an excellent review...🤘🏼💯✔️

These are popping up again at Walmart and Target . I assume to promote the new movie , but I'm hoping they release all the characters.
