Super7 Vs. UA Vs. NECA: Who has the BEST TMNT Van?

[@caseysanborn1953]

Super7 definitely has the best sculpt. Love the slightly bowed sides and that it’s not so stiff and rectangular/simple as the other 2.

[@ShartimusPrime]

Great video!! Buddy of mine has been sending me glorious pics of his S7 version. This video confirmed that if I picked up a Party Wagon it’d be the Super7. :0)

[@GeekDadLife]

Thanks for watching! Yeah it’s exactly what I’d want a large scale turtle van to be!

[@jointjunkieslangards]

After seeing all the reviews of the S7 and Neca offerings, I am still very happy with the UA version. May be the sunk cost fallacy, but I really prefer the more modern take on it and the size and proportions. I can see how others might prefer a different aesthetic. It's awesome that we get that choice now.

[@the80sguy80]

Totally agree. Super 7 gets my vote!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

The answer from me is, “Yes!” on the stickers!

[@GeekDadLife]

Yay!!!

[@scottydont9730]

Super 7's is leagues ahead of the others. It is the definitive Party Wagon/Turtlevan.

[@GeekDadLife]

It’s definitely my preferred look to the van

[@rafaelrodriguez3806]

That's why their losing money an selling their figure for 25 dollars now Neca has better all around

[@NickDoobs]

Cost is also leagues ahead of others. Personally I'm glad I got the UA one.

[@benjaminwiseman6567]

I would go with the Underground Arsenal for the sturdy cannons and functionality, but Super7 definitely looks the best and would be the most fun.

[@blakelivingston9935]

I picked up both the UA and the Super7 van. I like the Super7 van, but I like the UA van better. It's the rear doors and the additional side door that do it for me. The UA opens up more, which gives it a more playability, and the solid articulation and lower price point just add to that.

[@GeekDadLife]

Yeah the UA is a really really good product, there’s a reason it beat out the NECA one when I pitted those 2 against each other.

[@chrisalan457]

As someone who owns neither of these I think that Super7 van looks sooo awesome. Paint details are very nice. It seems to be larger then the other 2. I have their Thundertank and if the quality is anything like the Tank then it is a no brainer for me.

[@Samlowry27B-6]

He got two!! He got...oh I mean three!!!

[@sdaeley17]

Another great Vid, Jay! I love how close the results were. Sounds like folks can be happy with whatever they prefer and can afford!

[@TaylorTrask]

Jay I love these comparison videos so keep em coming! Would love to see a few more MOTU Classics vs Masterverse videos too, especially now that we've got so many excellent New Eternia figures.

[@jayjays9398]

Imo the NECA version is the most cartoon series accurate

[@jamessanders7066]

I have to say after getting the super7 one, I'm no less impressed by appearance and pose ability. But underground assault was superior in playability and durability. The less likely to break means more able to play. Throw in the low cost ant I feel it was the winner. I still love the super7 sculp but it can be a bit fragile.

[@masonj4779]

UA has no competition. Lights, cost, sculpt and materials. Super7 has an overpriced cost with no reason behind it. But in the end it’s great to have such options and in the end we all have opinions. So we all win.

[@GeekDadLife]

Completely agree! The fact we have 3 distinct options is the real win out of all of this, great point.

[@leodenverrex3819]

If yu throw-in the Vint Van then each turtle could have his own vehicle 🤣

[@archmage7813]

No we don't. People like you buying products from companies not paying for the rights to things actually hurt all of us because if there are enough pirates there won't be any actual products.

[@JoaoPSeguro]

I own a UA! Im outside of the U.S and the other two where to spendy to buy. Overhall the S7 wins in FUN factor and that what toys are all about. I only wish that the UA had a quality paint like the NECA Van, and the accessories from S7. That would be the Dream TMNT Van (at least in my opinion).

[@a.q.gonzales9835]

UA still takes it - specially when it comes to the space inside and bulk - Super7 is an upgrade of the vintage toy design for the Turtles - great comparison

[@Cinderkin]

Been waiting for this. I am kicking myself for not going with the U.A. one.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

All of them? Why not have all three? Build up a HUGE turtle army!

[@jeffholt9437]

Cost? (lol) 😊

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

@@jeffholt9437 And space, too, right? HA HA HA

[@leodenverrex3819]

I think i call it a three-way tie! It trully is a great age for TMNT fans! 🥂

[@krp2nyte]

Great review. I think it depends on what the collector wants the toy version or the cartoon version.

[@GeekDadLife]

I agree

[@wesleywilliams5185]

Love it and agree. S7 for me! Love the over all design and accessories!

[@tjnix1]

Great review! I own the super7 wagon and I’m in love with it. Price aside, imo it’s the clear winner of the three.

[@arthurlight9393]

great analysis of the 3,anyway all of them are amazing...and i dont have anyone haha,thanks for the video

[@Supertomscustoms]

I can’t get over the width of the UA van. More of a general pet peeve when things are just wildly out of scale. But for a 3rd party release it’s pretty cool. I do find it interesting how fans dismiss the Neca because it’s not as screen accurate as they like, yet they love the original playmates and S7 despite the design being completely made up. Nostalgia is a powerful drug.

[@rubenramirez7788]

hello everyone! Excuse me, what is the meaning of UA in the party wagon's description? thanks

[@pmgerard]

I wish UA would do a toy deco release.

[@GeekDadLife]

My guess is they're one and done. To avoid any legal entanglements

[@prophet924]

I only bought one. NECA. I think I like better the more rounded look of S7 and UA vans. They didn’t complement my current collection when it comes to NECA and the toon Turts. I think what I really need is to make a concept custom for my most preferred Turts in the NECA 90s movie. I love them the most and they need a van. They borrow the TMNT movie van now.

[@Lunzerland]

I’m in for cartoon accuracy so it’s the NECA van for the win in my eyes. UA would be my second choice. Price is outrageous for the S7 on top of the fact it’s my least favorite. But as said here multiple times, it’s nice we have these options for whatever grooves you.

[@manuelruiz7296]

I pick the NECA Turtle Van since I loved the cartoon and I think it is equal to the first season Turtle van appearances! The other vans are really awesome! But I prefer NECA's! Hasta luego!

[@radishsam2966]

For the S7 pizza rims, do they work well as pizza props for the turtles? Does the peg in the center remove so you can lay them flat like whole pizzas?

[@GeekDadLife]

No they are bolted on, but you could have the turtles hold them and they could still spin

[@radishsam2966]

@@GeekDadLife thanks that's still cool in its own way!

[@charliewhited4374]

Solid comparison video. I have the U.A. one and went with Neca since I have all the toon stuff. But that Super 7 party wagon looks sweet pretty sweet and if it goes on sale I will probably pick it up.

[@GeekDadLife]

You won’t be disappointed if you get it!

[@alexc.7375]

Yeah I'm more of a toon guy so the Super7 was out from go design-wise, nevermind the price. If the UA one had paint to look more like the toon I would have bit, but I had to go with NECA because it just fit in with everything else I had so far. I HATE the flimsy joints of the door, but in my opinion it still looks the best. As a kid I didn't like the original turtle van because it deviated so much from what I saw on the show.

[@jasonr4612]

I love my Super 7 van 😎

[@GeekDadLife]

Me too!

[@toydomination]

great video! couldn't agree more with your assessment, super7 def would have won for me also.

[@geekillustratordad4982]

I’m not a huge Super7 guy but here.. it’s not even close.. they did a great job. Still to pricy though.

[@ToyKennections]

Playmates! Ok... cop out answer, lol.

[@GeekDadLife]

Boooo lol

[@artcast007]

UA is the best when it comes to price & being close to the animated series. Yes Super7 is more close to the Playmates Party Wagon but I feel like it was way overpriced which is why I cannot in good faith say is the winner. If it was $300 then we would speakin a different outcome but w/ the $500 price point UA wins for me 🤷‍♂️

[@GeekDadLife]

Yeah it’s pricey no doubt, but at least it delivered on everything they promised when committed to dropping that amount lol

I would say $300 is a stretch for any of them ramen toys is making a more realistic van for less that will have more detail . The super 7 and neca you just paying for a name brand .

[@aubreywilliams1034]

They all look good but super 7! All i want is a super 7 ecto 1

[@GeekDadLife]

Oh man, that’s the dream right there!

[@radishsam2966]

Got both UA and NECA since together they cost about as much as the S7. Hoping the S7 goes on sale like their Thundertank went down in price on Ebay. Right now I'd choose the UA out of the 3 because of the size, playability, and cartoon look is important for me. Might change my mind if I ever get S7, and if toy look is important to you S7 is the no brainer choice. Hoping I can have all 3 eventually so I don't have to choose though!

[@GeekDadLife]

If you have all three it then becomes how am I gonna display them all lol

[@WedeSkates707]

The Super7 Party Wagon is a very fun and well made toy to play with. The Neca is a display piece, I wouldn’t play with it. The UA I don’t have. I didn’t need all three. The only bummer about the S7 is the ridiculous price tag. Other than that, it’s amazing. Neca needs a bit more paint and it needs to be slightly bigger. Just a tad. Good review. 🍻 👍

[@GeekDadLife]

I think you would really like the UA based on your critiques of the NECA one. Other than the UA one being light on paint

[@leodenverrex3819]

​@@GeekDadLife although the UA is just a bit too wide. Perfect height tho, i think.

[@HAGZ0483]

Scale and gimmicks categories would give the UA extra points, but I can see not eveyone having the same priorities.

[@GeekDadLife]

I like those two categories, may need to include them in a future Vs

[@leodenverrex3819]

However NECA is bringing accessories for the Van, that is also extra points for them.

[@A.Hanson]

I'm not a huge fan of Adult collector figures generally. If I were to get one it would be the UA van. The only turtles I have in this scale are the playmates ones that people like to dump on and I think those are a little larger than other brands so I would want the largest van so they would properly fit in it.

[@GeekDadLife]

Those would scale well with the UA

[@michaelnelson7240]

The 4th option is best the diecast 1/24 model by Jada toys

[@caveman_reviews]

I agree super7 is much better.

[@GeekDadLife]

It really turned out well!

[@99Vood99]

You did an excellent side by side comparison with the competitors but that Super 7 Party Wagon just scales so poorly with their very own figures. For the price it should've had a far better scale - closer to the UA van.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

You still didn't do a rolling test! This time you had THREE and you still didn't do a rolling test! Where's the fun in no rolling tests?

[@charlieomeara3715]

That neca one is just too small, not much bigger than original ones. I already got UA van on the way, & now kinda want that super 7 one too! But costs too damn much,

[@nanotavarez5788]

Neca is the real based on the show van super 7 is more based on the 90s toy arsenal is a prototype cash grab 3rd party van mainly for youtubers

[@johnlasher5203]

Why did NECA make theirs so small??

[@ADAM_COLLECTS]

if Super7 didn’t give any of the extra fluff, like the owners manual etc, could that not have saved us a few dollars? Honestly cost is the biggest driver. i think the S7 is the best looking but, sweet little 9lb 8oz baby Hey-Zeus! It’s $999.99 australian kangaroos!

[@GeekDadLife]

They may have needed to cost it the way they did to avoid tipping into the lane of NECA or Playmates. Cost is a factor when it comes to slicing up a license.

[@king_godzilla.]

You need to get the Godzilla x Kong the new Empire toy's

The best is the one the most ppl can afford .

[@GeekDadLife]

That’s fair

[@TheGreatDayne1983]

Ones a turtle can, ones a overpriced turtle van, and ones just a knockoff NECA is the only real choice

[@wesb1931]

The neca box art is amazing. A shame the van that comes inside is a soulless cube. So glad I didn’t buy this

[@micahmx6002]

Unpopular opinion, I like the U.A. van more than Super7 and the NECA one

[@GeekDadLife]

I realllllly like the UA one as well, nostalgia for the playmates style gave the S7 the slight edge for me, but that’s no knock on the UA one

[@leodenverrex3819]

Actually dude, lotsa people like the UA better. I actually think we have an even playing field here. It trully is a great time of the Turtle'Van. 🥂

[@powerturtlebusters]

If s7 hit 100 I'll bite

[@scottmcfarlane7524]

My OG is the best lol

[@GeekDadLife]

Fair enough lol

[@archmage7813]

So your give the people who don't actually pay for the right to make a turtle van credit because it's the cheapest??? Really, a company who is illegally not paying to make it like the other two should certainly not get credit for being the cheapest.

[@GeekDadLife]

I get what you're saying but they are the cheapest, initially and on the secondary market. This is from the perspective of toy collectors not the corporations.

[@archmage7813]

@@GeekDadLife yes because they are not actually a turtle van so by your own argument they shouldn't even be in your own comparison.

[@Lasastard]

Well, this is my humble opinion of course, but the fact that S7 felt it was OK to include Stickers with a 500$ collectible and then not have them fit properly is a bit of a joke, for starters. Also, if your main interest is to display your figures with a van, the UA version is still the best deal of the bunch. I mean, sure, the S7 version has a sculpted and painted interior, but let's be honest, you will not ever see that in a typical display situation. The S7 van isn't even painted (minus the roof )- again, at 500$. So I just cannot give it my vote, even if it is objectively the most accomplished version - unless you really do not factor money into this ranking at all. And that seems a little unfair.

[@GeekDadLife]

Well I did include the cost, it was the first category lol, and super 7 didn’t run away with the win accordingly. I think my overall thoughts are that each Van has its strengths and the fact that the S7 one captures the feel of the OG playmates one gave it the slight edge for me, it totally understand that thats not the case for everyone else

[@Lasastard]

@@GeekDadLife The cost bit wasn't specifically aimed at you but more of a general musing. But I do get your point - again, it's by no means a bad interpretation of the OG van, quite the opposite. But it's just...at that price point I just expect a little more (too much, apparently lol)
