TMNT Mutant Mayhem Action Figures Review | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

[@Pixel-dan]

Who was able to get them at their Target this week?!

[@Kiryu_02]

Me

[@mybrosteve]

Just got mine!

[@edwardjohnson6744]

They are at every target around my area. Splinter and Superfly are both seemingly in short supply. Only one or 2 of each that I have seen. Mikey sells out quickly too. Fastest selling of the 4 Turtles by far.

[@GeekCreek]

I strategically spent all my hobby money for the month the day before these were released so I wouldn't go too crazy and buy them all out of hype. I just bought Donnie and I'm quite happy with him. I spray-painted his fanny pack black 'cause I found the gray dull, forgetting that would make it sticky; the black then got on the figure's legs. Nothing tragic, but if I do end up buying the other three I may buy another Donnie since I messed mine up.

[@mechamanblade8465]

Got all 4 single carded Turtles as well as the Target exclusive Turtle Tots 2 packs. Now I have 3 different versions of each Turtle (baby, toddler, teen)!

[@Aaron.YT3]

I can never get enough of Pixel Dan covering Tmnt stuff

[@Pixel-dan]

Thank you! Thank yoU!

Ever since the Radical Retro Turtle Toy Talk days! Pixel Dan is the man

[@Pixel-dan]

@@pukewhenimsad Yay!

[@warriorpins]

Agreed!

[@primusvids2123]

This childhood memories brought back to life

[@tclark6989]

Pixel Dan doing TMNT is what first brought me to the channel all the way back in 2012 (good grief time flies). Anyway, these look really fun. I especially appreciate the belts and skin tones being similar to the original figures.

[@StormX6]

I was the same way. I started watching Pixel Dan for his reviews of the 2012 TMNT figures. I got Leonardo and he’s my favorite TMNT figure of all time outside of NECA.

[@haydendoreviews]

Seeing Dan review basic TMNT figs makes me feel nostalgic

[@Pixel-dan]

Back to my roots!

[@tmntfandom]

Me too!!!!

[@betaraybrad91]

Same. I was craving some good ol fashioned comparison time.

[@s4xtt]

Interesting fact, each of the turtles signature weapon is opposite of their personality, donnie is given the most simplest looking weapon despite being the smartest, mikey is given the most complex weapon despite being most childish, ralph given a defensive weapon even though he is the most offensive minded whereas Leo who is the most level headed is given the most devastating weapon. A lesson to embrace areas outside our comfort zone

[@ArtsyAlbert]

This is not a fact just a popular head-canon that people mistake as fact.

[@shinobipizza]

I've been watching you ever since the 2012 line started. I've always loved your TMNT reviews!

[@Pixel-dan]

Thank you so much! Glad you are here!

[@oreomega2545]

Very excited for the new movie and I love these figures, especially after panel lining them with some brown and black gundam markers to make the finer details pop. Though I wish there was more range in the arms and legs and that there were hinges in the wrists and ankles, for 10 bucks there’s a lot of value in these guys. Suffice to say they’re a surprisingly fun set!

[@gehrigrozakis5401]

Dude this video brought me back to when I used to watch your tmnt videos when I was younger. So much nostalgia. These look good so I’m definitely getting these. Great review bro!

[@Pixel-dan]

Thank you so much! More to come!

[@ProtoArrow]

They kinda look like a fusion of all Turtle designs of the past from the '80s, 2003, 2007, 2012, RotTMNT, LA etc.

[@Pixel-dan]

That’s an interesting take!

[@FandomEntanglement]

When I started collecting Origins, the intent was they would mainly be for my kid when he got old enough, and I had been hoping to also do the same for him with TMNT. The reissues, while awesome, weren’t quite what I had in mind as far as a “modernized” toy line specifically for him. I think this line fits the bill though. I really like the way these look, and I think my son will absolutely adore them as well. Definitely gonna try to pick these up…at least the core Turtles. We’ll see where it goes from there! 🙂

[@mybrosteve]

Just got back from picking up these figures! Great to see you reviewing Turtles figures again!

[@Pixel-dan]

Yay!

[@capnpezz2000]

So thrilled to see you doing TMNT reviews again. I can't get enough of pixel Dan and TMNT

[@COOLSKALLYWAG]

I love the leo i got yesterday i cant stop playing with it 😅

[@DaBigCheeso]

Raph isn't angry! He's just misunderstood

[@samuelherriotiii2114]

It is correct to leave the chains downward on Michaelangelo. The chains will dangle more properly that way.

[@jrex9197]

Found these at Target today & these figures & the packaging are just good ol' action figure fun, not to sound cheesy but this is great stuff. Love the figures themselves too! I feel like the collector & toy community really needed this👌

[@Pixel-dan]

Yea! I feel the same!

[@kylearking8918]

I just picked up Donatello (my favorite Turtle) at Target today. He was the only one left. I decided to check out your review because your TMNT reviews brought me so much joy back in 2012 for the Nickelodeon line when I was in middle school. These new TMNT toys are so cool and remind me of that 2012 line. It feels great to see people getting excited for the new movie and seeing Playmates put such love into this line. Cowabunga!

[@Sniper_Jacob06]

Every time I watch a Pixel Dan video, the nostalgia floods back.

[@ljkelty1766]

Cool. I actually like these. First non-NECA or Super7 ones I've bought in quite some time.

[@edwardjohnson6744]

Shell phone video communicators were science fiction in the 90s cartoon now it's just FaceTime.

[@betaraybrad91]

I remember feeling same way back when as I do today. I don't think there is a better value than playmates TMNT.

[@Bandinthesky]

I have the 4 turtles coming in the mail! just got Bebop, Rocksteady, Superfly, and Leatherhead today. I love the designs for this movie

[@Pixel-dan]

Awesome!

[@KSWAN1287]

I got to target first thing Sunday morning when they opened and was like a kid again at 35 being the first to get TMNT toys. It was a great feeling I didn’t know I was missing until that moment. Playmates did a great job with these at their price point.

[@horrorman2269]

Very cute designs, but I wish Mikey had a smaller head. Otherwise very cool! Also, glad Donnie’s glasses are removable.

[@thetoongrump9801]

I'm super stoked for Mutant Mayhem! The movie looks like a lot of fun and I appreciate how weird and intentionally ugly the art direction is. The look is translated so well in these figures and I can't wait to grab them ASAP

[@Pixel-dan]

Thank you for the comment! Glad to see some positivity !

[@clairehislop5873]

Would highly recommend the movie, it was great (in my opinion)

[@FilmFreakProd]

Cool review and figures! I like how Playmates gave Donatello removable glasses. I understand that he wears glasses now, but I'm old school when it comes to TMNT. I prefer him without them.

[@godlysolo7574]

Love the video! Feels nostalgic watching this I remember back when the 2012 turtles came out that was my introduction to this channel! Keep it up bro!

[@jaydensmith2943]

Wow it's been a while since I seen you covered the turtles . Love the new stuff we're getting feels like the 80s all over again

[@Papa_FM]

I absolutely love pixel Dan. I’ve been watching since the real early days, and I’m gonna keep watching, keep it up!

[@grotgrusson5124]

I dont know why, but in my eyes this figures screams Happy Meal toy all over. Sure, they are a bit more articulated than a usual HM-toy, but there is something about that shiney plastic and the sort of "cartoon feel" about them that connotates to a McD HM-toy for me. But I have to say that I love the mini Turtles. Reminds me of the gift in the TMNT-slime from the 90's that come with a "Glow in the dark"-mini turtle. I always got the crawling on, just like those including in this box set. I dont even know if there was other, more "evolved" Turtles included in that Ooze slime.

[@Binx345me]

mcdonalds will supposedly have tmnt toys this august!

[@ghausan5242]

Whenever there are new TMNT toys I always wait for Pixel Dan's videos cause theyre nostalgic and the best

[@Pixel-dan]

Well, here you go!

[@carlosaugustosoria4805]

The truth is that of all those versions you missed the classic Collection, but from the comparison you made I prefer the 87, 02, 07 and 2012, the rest are horrible, I'm going to think about what to do with the 2023 tmnt, greetings from Argentina 🙂 🇦🇷

[@snawzie]

i havent watched your stuff in a long time but knowing that these figures are out, I instantly looked for you channel to see if you covered them

[@booyakabungabuzz]

I've got two Raphs. One has an "R" on its belt like the one Dan reviewed in this video. The other's "R" is slightly more aligned to the right with more uniformly-lengthed descenders. Anyone else have a Raph with the belt "R" that matches this description?

[@ArtsyAlbert]

12:53 Actually, Dan the Bo- Staff paint is correct as in the movie it's one solid color.

[@rogerl9293]

Love it Dan! I bought a Raph and some Ooze from my local store! Brought me back to the 90s ! Can’t wait for the movie

[@Its_triangle_time]

I remember watching your videos on the 2012 tmnt toy line as a kid, great to watch more tmnt content from you 😃

[@Pixel-dan]

Thank. You!

[@SondicoDenann]

Good to see you reviewing the Playmates Turtles again!

[@coacht8121]

Yeah!

[@timdakis2107]

I love comparing all versions of my favorite one Michaelangelo. Can't wait to compare the IDW Comic Figures when they come out.

[@Pixel-dan]

Yes!

[@Binx345me]

wait is playmates making idw figures!?!? do you have any links?

[@josh--el]

Great Video as always! Would love to see other current toy lines in comparison time too, so we can see if they play well on the shelf. Obviously these guys wouldn’t fit next to Masterverse for example, but whether they’d be in scale with Origins or the Netflix MOTU would be cool to see

[@gaebril131]

Since this version of the turtles plays up their youth, it makes sense to me that they'd be smaller than a human adult. I think there's an argument that they can fit in alright with a 1/12 line. (Not the villains though, unfortunately)

[@BamOfficalsOldAccount]

Dan you don’t know how happy this makes me I was watching you since your 2012 TMNT vids and now that I see your making vids for the new turtles I’m just so happy bc it reminds me of my childhood just… thanks for being great

[@Wooshey_Wooj]

I’m not gonna lie. It’s the movie that makes me want all of them. I really enjoyed the movie more than I expected. They got the teenage aspect so perfectly. But I digress. Aside from that, the figures look really good in general. If the figures looked cheap, I would pass. But again I’m not a huge ninja turtles fan, but this movie is sort of changing my ways. Yeah I grew up with the show and I am currently playing shredders revenge on the PS5 but I can’t call myself a huge fan. But I need to get these guys. Showing the articulation in the legs was a whole “take my money” scenario because I didn’t even know that was the case because I’m big on posing because I am a huge Marvel Legends collector. So this is definitely a must have for me. Thank you sir.

[@Finchy277]

I remember young me watching all your videos, and i just remember adoring your ninja turtles and trash pack videos, your turtles mutagen slime video being my favourite. I remember finding you talking about the bad aftertaste being hilarious. Its been years and I'm so happy your still doing these.

[@emerje0]

I haven't seen these in stores yet, was just at Target Monday and Walmart Tuesday, but was surprised to see the online prices were only around $10. Playmates is really doing some great releases for that price point.

[@godtierlee5540]

i found empty slots of them at every target i went to because people are buying tf out of these, and then blowing the price up online. and whats worse is target, wal,art, and amazon, still only have them up for pre order.

I used to watch your videos when I was a lot younger, and now I can actually afford to buy the turtles with my own “adult” money lmao Thanks for the years of Turtle Toys coverage Pixel Dan, it feels so nice to go through your videos again :))

Thanks so much for coming back!

Donnie having the intact canister of ooze makes me think that he might be doing some research on it in the movie. Cant wait to see it!

[@craigjuan5744]

I picked up Leo and Raph today as of the time of this message and plan to get Donnie and Splinter the next day. But couldn't find Mikey. I'm sure his figure is bound to show up somehow. I love the designs of these turtles, and absolutely LOVE that you can get rid of Donnie's glasses, fanny pack and headphones. He looks cooler without them, IMO. Great review as always, Dan. And I hope to meet you in person someday. Now it really won't be for a while since I'm taking a hiatus from SDCC. I hope to meet you at other conventions in SoCal, like Wonder Con. Anyway, I'm very inspired by you and your work. Best wishes, always.

From seeing all your tmnt reviews since the channel began to now this----IT'S LONG OVERDUE for PIXEL DAN to review some PLAYMATES TURTLES!!!!

[@Pixel-dan]

And we're back!

[@NASgamer6]

I was 6 or 7 or around that age watching u review all kinda tmnt 2012 stuff. I watched what seems like all of it. All the time, just seeing you review tmnt toys of my dreams back in the day, It was amazing for a kid like me to watch. Seeing you still doing it in the same style today in 2023 for mutant mayhem just is pure joy and a nostalgic sight to see for me. I just turned 14... time flies. Just wanted to say thank you for bringing me and so many others joy in our childhoods. Hope you keep up the amazing content for the present-day kids to enjoy.

One thing I like about Leo, you can pose him holding 1 katana with both hands, and he can reach back a grab the katanas from his back.

There are some Raph's out there that don't have the pouch on his belt painted brown, it's just black. The R on belt buckle is also smaller.

[@theandf]

Pretty cool, considering buying these for my daughter -- oh, come on, FOR ME -- and this review was very instructive. I'm out of touch with toylines these days, the Leonardo from my childhood was from one of the oldest toy lines and that's the only one I've seen in the flesh (outside of cheap knockoffs).

[@charlesrubitschung7592]

Hey Dan, here's a suggestion for another TMNT figure review which is the Donatello, an Michealangalo figures from BST AXN both of which look like they jumped right out of the 1984 comic books and include a comic book which features a few solo adventures of the Turtle within the packaging and on the packaging, interchangeable hands and heads are also included a long with one slice of pizza each and both heads have red masks so it's worth noting that they went full on 1984 Eastman and Laird TMNT on those figures

[@silverbricks_yt]

Everyone is finding these figures but when I go to my target there’s nothing, nothing at all the only thing they had is a retro storage shell Raphael. Which really sucks because I am really looking forward to these figures and they look amazing and I can’t wait to get them.

[@Pixel-dan]

Keep trying! Every Target is different.
