Huge Modern and Vintage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Collection

[@patrickmcgavin2245]

It's definitely, a great time to be alive, for a collector. Maybe not for our bank accounts, but we're getting figures we've wanted as kids.

[@jdelacadena]

one of the coolest TMNT collections I have seen on youtube!

[@noyougrowup69]

@jdelacadena really appreciate you saying that dude.

[@justinmohan7103]

I'm glad you said that the plastic quality is crappy on the vintage re-releases. I thought it was crappy also.

[@noyougrowup69]

@justinmohan7103 yeah I have a set open on my desk at work and they're definitely not terrible, but just feel lighter and cheaper than the OG's. The biggest bummer is the lack of deco on some figs like Bebop and Baxter.

[@Skipray_Blastboat]

Displays looking killer! Love how you fill up the backgrounds with comics or boxed stuff, really makes each shelf pop. I never feel bad or regret when I get out of a line of figs. Sometimes its fun just to check different stuff out and I've never lost my shirt on anything that was worth collecting.

[@noyougrowup69]

@Skipray_Blastboat I feel like since these shelves don't have infinite shelving placement options like Billy's do they leave a lot of dead space so that was my kind of solution to fill out the display. I'm yet to really miss anything I've let go of at this point with maybe 2-3 exceptions of individual figures. Changing things up is fun, and fun is what I'm after.

[@justintorres502]

Dude this looks insanely good. You did a really good job of avoiding that cramped look that many displays get, perfect amount of breathing room for all your figs and really makes them all pop. I just wanna sit in this room with my Mikey suspenders and play Turtles in Time. Sick dude, for reals ✊🏼.

[@noyougrowup69]

@justintorres1401 thanks dude! That's one of the things I really try to focus on since I don't have risers. My Playmates stuff is kind of cramped and I will definitely get some risers for them at some point. I definitely love hanging out in here. I def need some Mikey suspenders too haha.

[@flockscruz4316]

Nice video bro and I think it’s crazy how we both are focus on tmnt power rangers and X-men or slash marvel lol

[@noyougrowup69]

@flockscruz4316 I would argue that those aren't the top 3 properties of the early 90's for boys. TMNT and MMPR are unquestionable, but I think X-Men have a strong case with a huge cartoon, huge action figure line, and the peak of the comics happening right before that and they were still riding pretty high at that time.

@hesjemannkake thanks dude! I actually don't remember any of my friends having them. There are some TMNT databases that have all the action figures I'm sure there's one that covers all the toys as well.

Totally Tubular, dude. My eyes always draw to those giant NECA Turtles. I will probably never grab those, but they do like freakn sweet. Right, the Super7s next to the Playmates just works. I would like a set of those Batman Turtles and MMPRxTMNT turtles. Those VHS boxes give a good feeling. I see those Christmas Turtles. Im currently looking for a set.

[@noyougrowup69]

@KootenaiKing dude you should just grab one of the 1/4 scale turtles they are so damn cool and are some of my favorite things in the collection for sure. It's crazy that the Batman sets go for so much I bought extra sets on clearance for like $15 each and traded them to a friend for some comics. You can catch a lot of the MMPR sets on sale right now. They are very cool.

Bro if you ever decide to collect the figures from the first ever Nickelodeon version of TMNT I own about 90% of them and have BNIP of pretty much most also, as I bought doubles as many as I could

[@noyougrowup69]

@nashy9getsgoal846 so I can't remember if I had them in my first ever video I posted, but I had a pretty big 2012 collection at one point, I had like 4 shelves full. I ended up selling them as I got more and more into NECA to make room. I think it's a super fun line, but I just don't really have any connection to it outside of that so it wasn't too hard for me to let them go.

[@heroesytumbas]

@@noyougrowup69 Yeah, saw that, nice! I've been looking for the platinum one but it's kinda expensive. Saw Neca revealed more Usagi figures, but all look too much like their 80s cartoon figure instead of having the comic look, which was disappointing.

Awesome stuff. I have a dedicated transformers room but switched to neca toon tmnt last year. The quality of transformers got so bad I tapped out. I want to get the musical tour ones 😂

[@noyougrowup69]

@pixelsncreatures Thanks dude! Were you collecting Transformers mainline stuff or MP stuff?

[@PixelsNcreatureS]

@@noyougrowup69 at first it was MP but they made me nervous 😂 they were so expensive and fragile they became less and less fun. When the war for cybertron trilogy siege/earthrise/kingdom stuff started coming out I really liked em, my small MP collection became the entire Siege line in a quick sale. Then I went back a bit to the prime wars trilogy and got some of those. But I got EVERY character that came out. Characters I had no connection with like the beasts wars. So I sold maybe 100 figures to fund neca tmnt. (oh and the awful bay movie chatacters sold off too)

@markheadley125 thanks dude!

[@patrickmcgavin2245]

My favorite thing in your collection. I didn't notice before is VHS kids club tapes. Hits me in the nostalgia feels. I feel S7 should focus on one line. Trying to copy Neca Hasbro and Mattel clearly isn't working. Neca Hasbro and Mattel are bigger companies. That's why S7 should start small. Then when they figure their stuff out. Maybe they too will become a big company then start putting their hands in a bunch of pots.

[@noyougrowup69]

@patrickmcgavin2245 dude I was so stoked when I raided all our VHS's and found all of that stuff. The intro on those BK ones are so amazing. Now I'm going to watch it after I respond to a few more people haha. S7 did take on way too much way too quick. When they were just focused on TMNT and Thundercats, things were fine. Then, once they started anouncing a new line every other day, things started to change pretty quickly.

[@Ian_lucerio]

6:36 what are those little turtles? I need them😂 Also how did u get the figures on the wall? I want to do the same but afraid theyll get ruined

[@noyougrowup69]

Had all the playmates figures growing up, only show I loved more then TMNT was Batman The Animated Series which I still love to this day and is my fav animated show still(holds up incredibly), aim to just get the 4 main turtles,Casey Jones and Shredder for now, help a brother out, can’t go to crazy since I have a 15 month old Son,Wife and live in super expensive California lol, also random question what year were you born? I feel we are similar in age I’m Nov 1988

[@noyougrowup69]

@irishknight6893 thanks dude! So as far as which way to go, NECA is definitely putting out way more product and they have a ton of lines but it's kind of hard to get caught up on everything that has been sold out and it's not cheap on the after market. Super7 on the other hand is very easy to get caught up on at this point and you can get a ton of them for half off in some cases. If you love the Playmates line, you will love S7. Either way, you can't go wrong. I was born in March of '87 so we are damn close.
