Sorry Flip-or - this is the TOY of the YEAR. Mezco TMNT review

[@dubuyajay9964]

Uh no...Flipp-Orr is STILL THE Toy of The Year, tyvm.

[@madhatterreviews6705]

❤❤❤❤

[@steelcurtain187]

The scene of them jumping off the building looked incredible 🤯

[@BriarShinn]

12:59 That brown peace goes onto their belts and is meant to hold the grappling hook

[@MKF30]

They look amazing for sure. Certain angles look like their heads are slightly larger than the rest of their body but it's most likely the angles. Not sure if they're worth the $400 bucks that's a lot not going to lie, but if you can afford it and a big tmnt fan I'm sure its worth it.

[@comix1017]

If perfection was a toy....

[@reiddutchess9955]

These figures are incredible man. My reaction to opening and inspecting them was identical to the opening of this video. I just knew I was holding something special that is at the top of the game related to collectibles. So happy I bought it. I was waiting for your review Hatter! Thanks for giving us your review.

[@miKeYdOEsNtLiKeiT508]

Theres a lot to love about mezco.. they are a small American company that struggled more than anyone else during covid.. but now they are releasing banger after banger

[@Hilltopperpete]

I'd definitely get these if I didn't already have like 6 full sets of the 4 brothers already. I still might... These are wonderful!

[@tompollockjr144]

These are probably one of my biggest "collector" regrets... The pre-order dropped in January last year when I was making a conscious New Year's Resolution decision to only buy things that were on a list of Grails I prepared. I never expected these...

[@comix1017]

Yesssss!! Mine are officially on the way from BBTS!! I might have to take off work the day they're scheduled for delivery lol

[@welfarebread4858]

same bro! im psyched

[@beetertruk88]

Can’t wait! I just got an email from bbts that they’re shipping out!

[@Raijin612]

That brown clip they all come with goes on the belt so you can hang the grapple hook on all of their belts, also the loop on the back is for Raph’s Tonfa and there should be 2 loops near the front for his sai

[@thelastwindwaker7948]

They remind me a lot of how Neca handled the Gargoyles line, going for more a realistic look than being true to the source material. For the most part it looks good but Leo's face wrinkles make him either look really old, or he just ate a lemon. It would have been neat if they had optional red headbands for them.

[@Additional-duty-dirtbag]

They look amazing, slightly mad at myself for passing. But I still think they should have got all red mask option, especially if they all have three heads! That sculpt is just so OG Mirage, the lack of all red is why I passed. Still, love the sculpt and if they were still available at retail price I’d be tempted to pull the trigger now. All you Flipors can go flip yourselves!

[@luckyjhagra6020]

Included illustrations show some effects that are not included in any tray, a little frustrating as I thought mine was incomplete, but after watching this, you have exactly what I have. Back of box does not show “missing” effects either. Black and white illustrations sheet show a few things that are not even included as far as the weapons effects go. 🤷‍♂️

[@snapshotsreviews4967]

What I like about these turtles is… they actually look like they would be teenagers. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the original promo pics did not do this set the justice it deserves. These look awesome.

[@limpx336]

They really should had added a extra red bandana head for each turtle

[@MarkVersion1]

it's subjective if it's the best version but I would agree they have the best accessories. Especially that trenchcoat. I would love to see all 4 in trench coat

[@georgepasymowski2508]

This set is so awesome. I agree......this set is a contender for toy of the year.

[@asolly81]

The headsculpts and accessories look very good. I own many Mezco too, I don’t quite hype the company as many do on here lol. The price put me off plus given I own so many NECA and Super7. I am not mega crazy on the bodies with these but take so much delight in Hatters enjoyment and that’s all that matters!

[@OpenPLEASE]

Its overwhelming how much stuff comes with it and how good they are! It's Spiderman jumping out of portals over and over again exciting

[@colt4573]

The after market is crazy at the moment on these. But big retailers haven’t gotten their stock yet. So we’ll see.

[@Logpet09]

I'm normally a fan of Raphael and Mikey, but I'd have to agree, this Donnie is incredible! That smirk is *chef's kiss*

[@VenomBroly]

Mezco really improved their game

[@SirGreta]

If it’s MHR certified it’s official. “Todays price IS NOT yesterday’s price”!

[@monstersfrombeyond]

"And so the Mad Hatter never bought another Ninja Turtle figure, as these could never be topped...no wait he just bought some playmates...and neca...now he has new super 7..please Mad Hatter...please stop..."

[@monstersfrombeyond]

(never stop)

[@madhatterreviews6705]

LOL!!!

[@_The_Worst_]

Yeah, I'm very impressed...🤘🏼💯✔️

[@SuperCosmicos]

wow, perfection accomplished, so satisfying to watch this!

[@ratface44]

Excellent review Hatter! Great TMNT set!

[@Hilltopperpete]

If these come out in black and white? Oh boy...

[@Haveunerd]

People keep acting like price is crazy. I mean it’s a lot but compared to any standard mezco that’s around 100$ a piece and comes with less accessories. Not you specifically just everyone online about how expensive they are when I’d say they are relatively cheap.

[@jrivv2239]

Has to be peoole that don't regularly collect Mezco. Any collector that follows Mezco products should have realistic expectations about the price knowing that a single figure can rage $90-$120. $200 for 4 mezco figures with a buttload of accessories is a pipe dream. Regardless, now people that didn't think $400 was worth it have to dish out way more than $400 if they want to own them.

[@asolly81]

@@jrivv2239I own 5 Mezco I still think these are overpriced and Mezco is good but overhyped by many on here!

[@landoncisneros4248]

$400 for a waitlist somehow doesn’t feel concrete enough to throw into the void. And whoever said the promos didn’t do justice, 100%

[@aasquith25]

I got on the waitlist and they came back in stock last week, so I recommend getting on the new waitlist.

[@thirdperson8583]

Mikey has a small part, like a hook on his belt. What is its function and where should it be placed?

[@sinnceer_era]

awesome review and i concur ✌🏾🙏🏾🐜turtle power

[@UltimateCosmo]

Dude, what a great review, because you share your enjoyment as collector like any of us watching your videos. By the way, best turtles representation!, without a doubt the toys of the year, I hope Mezco continues with a complete line, we deserve something like this, as Mondo was doing with their turtles.

[@KyloRenandStimpy]

They look f*cking awesome!! Nothing else to say. Mine will be here Friday. Can’t wait.

[@Plvcky]

They look great! That price point is too crazy for me though, I guess I’ll just have to wait for the re-release of the Neca Mirage turtles.

[@redboone1509]

I'm so jealous. Those are amazing. I was nerding out along side ya

[@batcavedave2535]

This set represents my childhood in a box! Got them on pre order but will have to wait a lot longer as im in the UK...hopefully have them by the end of the month.🤞 Great video!

[@FrancVeras-jr2qg]

Hatter - when or will there be available at local stores? I’m on the Mezco waitlist. Do these have a public release date?

[@hovseph818]

They sold out almost everywhere, just got to check local comic shops and or get lucky someone restocks. already selling for $700+tax on ebay

[@ItsJGonzo]

Man I’m hoping to get this set. Mezco took my money already but I was on the waitlist. Not sure how that works. Fingers crossed! Anywho great review Sir. Super dope set. When they are done great it’s hard to make a bad pose when they just look so damn great!🎉

[@steve-o-reno]

I just got mine today and they really are great...easily my favorite set to date. One thing that disappointed me though is that my Donatello is missing his elbow pad 😣 (sigh)

[@stevewegling8070]

Hatter , stupendous video man. There is a reason in Johnnys Haul-A-thon video I do not mention(comment section) any Tmnt as a want. These are it. No shade on Neca or anyone else but this rendering of the Turtle Bros has never existed (pricy but worth it.) In Anthonys video I called this set a 🎁 to fans. Outside of personal taste in design (for some) this release delivers. From kunai😉 to soft goods a master piece 🥲 I appreciate the Gillette reference. The flight stand pros were a 'she said.✌️

[@thcman7196]

Hopefully they release them again they are the best 👌 at least, a good bootleg version like the 08 neca figs I would be satisfied.

[@samsta213]

Opened mine yesterday, and man, oh man. Instant grails. Mezco killed it with these.

[@bammsta]

I guess its all personal opinion but ( for me ) the Neca first Movie turtles are the best ever. I dont own these but have inspected these in person and although awesome i totally could see me selling these down the road. I feel the big price persuades people to believe theyre the best . Top spot has to be priced right and at $100 a pop isnt right at all.

[@DavidR-ue1lp]

I actually agree. I had these on pre order but cancelled. One the price didn't seem right but two and more importantly I really didn't have any connection to this depiction of the Turtles. The Neca Movie/cartoon Turtles on the other hand are my bread and butter, it's what I grew up on and to me they are the best. At the end of the day it's all in the eye of the beholder.

[@Rauv4000]

Oh damn, more TMNT toys. Can’t stop buying 🤯 Thanks for the video!

[@lukeluck1395]

Did anyone have trouble fitting the sheaths through the leather sleeves?

[@marvink1517]

I have a feeling Neca will answer Mezco and bring us the OGs this summer.

[@deanyisbored8458]

Is it just ke or do they look like more modern molds of the 2012 playmates figures?

[@TheCruelPsycho]

Really wish leo don and mikey came with red bandanas as well.

[@ganjean4209]

Late to the party. Not paying the scalper prices to get these. Here's hoping the wait list comes to be

[@APremiumDegenerate]

Hope they can get an accessory set out eventually. Love what’s here, but would still like a smiling head for Raph and Leo.

[@dorak_22]

Awesome review, can totally tell ya did your research 🤙🐢🍕 and yes these are the definitive, 💯 grails, TMNT set.

[@cdubbart]

The 5D chest move would've been to give Raph 4 heads, so all the turtles could have red bandanas (assuming the heads are easily swappable). Keep. hoping to see someone swap the other turtle heads with Raph's to achieve that look.

[@ketami2]

I'm looking on aliexpress for extra heads for these turtles so i can paint the bandanas red. I know it comes with extra heads but i don't want to give any of them up.....

[@ALTIRONKAIJU]

Damn! Damn I missed out on these badass figures. That what I get for not paying attention to the mad one and watching some Johnny N. Goku reviews Lol. Never again.

[@brokenbiome8505]

Wicked video as always mate, I cant wait for my set to turn up. Your right bet Turtles ever made by far. Stay strong!

[@OverBenthousand]

I’m glad they’re good.. but I’m gonna tell ya… no way am I paying 400 for them lol. They better be absolutely incredible for that. I’ll have to stick to Neca and appreciate what they can give us for 150.

[@jturnerjpt506]

Very cool review, this is really a centerpiece set for any turtle fan

[@stevewittbrodt]

That kinda looks like Don's Anti-Gravity Gauntlet I'm so excited, got my shipping notification from EE. Can't wait to get mine

[@andrewmoeller1987]

They do look amazing! Great review

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

Really impressed with the articulation on these guys! It's not just good for Mezco standards, but Turtle standards overall.

[@JoeMeservey-zl2zq]

Do you have a 2012 playmates turtle figure to compare? They look like the molds

[@luckyjhagra6020]

Anyone get duplicate heads and get a resolution? I got two closed mouth heads. Super frustrating.

[@waynesmiley2207]

This set looks like perfection

[@genefactor007]

Seeing these breaks my heart because my order was canceled. Ugh! I bought these via NeoGeek and Mezco canceled their orders. Crushed. 😭

[@redboone1509]

The "knuckle spikes" are palm spikes for defense and climbing

[@russelllemieux]

Dam I regret passing .I didn't have any Mezco just got Doom and was like dam now I got to figure how to get these boys...

[@DocBrainFog4-20]

The holy grail of all them Turtles 🤘😎😏👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ElitePRC]

Question: Does Mezco ever re-release figures? As in, will these ever be available again, or is it one run and that’s it?

[@samsta213]

You could join the waitlist and hope to get lucky. Takes like a year or so, but I've hit twice that way. Good luck 👍

[@justynperez1716]

I think mezco is only allowed to reissue their rumble society figures but licensed properties are usually one run

[@samsta213]

@justynperez1716 ah ok, could be the case

[@jrivv2239]

They do not restock. They may release a variant, or possibly sell the turtles individually, but there is no guarantee of that.

[@jgamingtckc7357]

Where did you get that brick wall?

[@bud_kleric2771]

But is it enough to stop getting more tmnt figures ?

[@stevewegling8070]

For me it probably will.

[@user-dp3jc3mr2j]

final pose is hilarious

[@benjaminwiseman6567]

These are great! But I'm good with the Super7 Ultimates.

[@hovseph818]

Best TMNT turtles EVER, better than Mondo even

[@TMNT_Maniac_87]

It's so good to 'see' you gushing over these lol... for a non poser as you say, your donnie poses were sick too

[@3rdlegend445]

Where can one buy backdrops like this from?

[@3rdlegend445]

I found out this is the sdcc tmnt 1990 movie exclusive.. pretty much the same as the standard neca diorama, so I’ll probably just repaint it to look like this diorama.

[@giuliocampos4962]

I have many turtle sets and this one is honestly the best one out there. So glad I have them in my collection!

[@citadelli]

I’ve actually been trending more towards more toy, not sculpture looking figures since Origins came out. The KISS acronym 😂 these look cool though, not for me but happy you love it!

[@KootenaiKing]

Also MH; "The proceeds from the Flip-Or fundraiser has been used to purchase these Mezco..."

[@therealivydawg]

Pretty sure he ordered the mezco turtles LONG before Flip-Or started.

[@Turtle_toys]

These are definitely for people that love the mirage comic turtles, but not for me

[@niarlatotepbasset]

I’m going to get those Turtles.

[@Mr767267]

I would have really appreciated the price point around $320 ish...given that we know what a single $100 figure gets us. Definitely the best turtles out there. I wish they could have just added one head for each with red bandanas.

[@MrDarkblade1980]

This is a cool tmnt set 😮😁👍🏿💚

[@chewmaniac86]

Can't wait to open mine!!!

[@WestOfLee100]

>400 >100 for each turtle, accessories, cloth goods, and etc That is the price of an arcade 1up.

[@3rdlegend445]

You think the cloth goods will stain the figures if left on over time?

[@chrisoliver2]

Yeah for OG realistic-looking turtles I'd say those are looking pretty good my favorite right now is the Ronin series through NECA but I've been an OG fan since the black and white comics as a kid and I was wearing the black ninja shoes with the brown bottoms and then a couple years later I turned 13 get me a old fashioned paper route and my first check I lived in Escondido California and we had a Toys r Us across the street from get that check went over there and bought me every Ninja turtle they had I had the whole series have so many different style turtles myself those look pretty good but mezco is a little out of my price range

[@browniejacobg8172]

Awesome review man!

[@Mike_Fahmy]

These Turtles Are Fuckin Absolutely Amazing, The Best I have seen. They're 🔥🔥🔥. But unfortunately I will never get them, unless of course I get them for a good deal on the secondary market. Awesome Review Hatter

[@redhot44586]

The turtlecoms opening blew my fucking mind.

[@grossmisconduct4481]

MEZCO did a FanTASTIC job on this set! Honestly my favorite TMNT figures done NECA MIRAGE 2008

[@mohammedabeer6611]

Chances of mezco releasing a repaint with all red bandanas or black and white versions? Tempted to pay those scalper prices but imagine i do and they have a restock or release variants... SOMEONE HELP ME

[@asolly81]

Watch this space they are know to do variants!

[@AlphaProto]

They look fun, but I can't get over the extra piece at the top of the shell.

[@Loo0ch]

Does opening them make them lose value?

[@kirillsmetanin7223]

Could you please try these Mezco clothes with Neca cartoon turtles?

[@dubuyajay9964]

Would've loved to see Last Ronin in the size comparison.

[@alejandrobanales2506]

BEAUTIFUL.

[@cobrakai84]

Are the Gorilla Popeye forearms on purpose?
