Excellent review as always. Keep them coming. I will get all 4 since I missed out on the line until now. One of your subs pointed to AE as an alternative to buy. So far they look to be $55 per figure with $40 shipping internationally. I think in store you paid $36?

I have to get them all, simply because I missed out on every other release. Glad these are out and seemingly easier to find. I've seen a couple restocks in my area, so hopefully these will be on pegs for a while. Had to start with Leo, because he's the best Turtle, figure I'll just go in song order for the rest.

Raphael technically only comes with one Raphael head, the pizza dough head is actually from the end of an episode around season 5/6 where Raphael is making pizza dough, spins it and loses it onto Mikey’s head.

As much as I like these figures I feel that each one didn't need those random accessories (although I see the appeal for them). I would rather have more hands, a happy and angry eye expression to choose from was well as a few mouth pieces to swap. Weapon effects too. Kinda like what Mezco does but at the NECA price point. If the green color perfectly matched the last couple of releases perfectly then this set could have stayed how it was made since the body doesn't have the two-tone color and brighter shell.

Leo wins because he has an alternate heads (even if like you i don't remember in wich episode it appears). BTW: It was risky to put the bandana off, NECA has fragile stuff.
