Leatherhead was one of my favourite figures out of the original line, so see this reinterpretation makes me happy.

I wish they'd given him a larger body like the Triceraton, Bebop and Rocksteady. I always hated his weird dwarf body the original toy had.

Great video! Thank you! Really, REALLY looking forward to this guy -- one of my favourite characters of all time, and the only original TMNT figure I still have. And I think that red bundle of long dangly things is meant to be a bunch of dried hot peppers. As for his size, his original bio card states that he was 12' 4" tall and weighed almost 900 lbs., so it'll be nice to have a really, big, chunky Leatherhead figure after all these years! And now I feel an urge to go mix up a batch of my celebrated Cajun spice blend . . . .

i’m not one to praise Super7, but credit where it’s due; the scaling of these figures is on point! A turtle is not bigger than an alligator, a warthog or a rhino, and super7 demonstrated this perfectly. On the card backs of the vintage figs we got heights, weight etc. Leather head is listed at over 12 feet tall, so he is 3x the height of the turtles.

Great looking figure. Love they made him bigger than the og was. Always one of my favorite toys and characters but always preferred his toon version. And I get an alligator has short limbs and while a big animal wouldn’t be very tall if it stood. But he’s a mutant so I preferred him hulking like all the other iterations of him. Glad the ultimates are making them a little more scale with some characters being bigger than others. This version I must say does represent what the og figure was trying to, alligators aren’t tall but they are very big bodied. Can’t say I like the all red accessories but I get it. And they do look like tobacco but think they may be feathers. The shotgun and rod are great! The rod could be used in other displays too

One solution to get the super 7 leatherhead into the vintage pose is by taking the tail out, drill a long small diameter hole and put lead in there for counter weight.

@StoneSilentLLC2 жыл бұрын
That one accessory does look like tobacco leaves or even feathers. However, it seems likely that it's some type of seasoning to go with the tiny turtle and monster crawfish that's on his belt.

I thought it was funny in the cartoon that he apparently killed that guy (who named him Leatherhead) and wore his clothes. That was the implication I got at least, lol.

Great review, I can't wait to this guy! When they preview pictures were shown I thought he looked kinda small but afterwards I realized that it only appeared that way because how huge his head was proportionally. I am really glad how they did him, this is one of those that look really different on the vintage line in comparison with the cartoon, I am glad Super7 preserved what made him unique. Great review, it looks to be such a fun figure. I like the new fishing rod accessory , not only it adds value to the figure but it makes sense with all the fishhooks he has in his clothes (plus it can be reused with other figures for some bucolic figure photography 😁) I think he's the star of the wave.

Agree with you on the head size. It's actually larger (proportionally) than it is on the vintage figure. It's not only a little detracting, it also contributes to his inability to balance well. It's odd that they took it this direction.
