TMNT Ultimates Leonardo Super7 Action Figure Review | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

[@alexcourtney9053]

Those loose hips are just a deliberate move by Super7 to help recreate how hard it is to stand the original vintage Leo. Now that's a commitment to accuracy!!!

[@masterfarr8265]

You know considering my experiences with Super 7. I wouldn't be surprised

[@timothyoakhart8860]

Been lucky so far. I haven't had any loose joints except for shredders ankles. Honestly if they can't tighten these up I think at the soon to be $55 dollar price tag I may have to bow out on this line.

[@dubblewokad]

Do yourself a favor and look up and buy a product called Kiki on Amazon. Fix loose joints on action figures. It will be your best purchase ever if you collect action figures.

[@satch4684]

Id have to agree, I love watching this stuff for nostalgia, and this line if I bought anything tmnt it would be these turtles. But for the issues and price point I don't know that I would bother

[@dubblewokad]

@@satch4684 I hear ya, but I've been collecting for years across many brands and found there is no perfect action figure out of the box. As soon as I figured out how to tighten and loosen joints when needed, as well as fine tune little paint imperfections, I'm happy to say all my purchases become perfection! First thing I do when I bust open a new figure is test and work all the joints.. if it breaks, I return/replace it before it becomes impossible to find. Fine tuning a figure is one of the most satisfying routines in collecting.

[@tgonzalez1983]

I love this line. I’ve been leaving comments on many videos about Bebops shoes. Those chucks are supposed to have white shell toes. The OG figure had all red shoes but the official artwork and everything had white toes. Tempted to paint it myself. Fix them lose legs too! I wonder why this is the only turtle without outlines on the teeth. 🤔 But at least they fixed Leo’s eyes. The vintage figure had them looking sad for some reason.

[@nickmandl]

Those alternate heads make these the closest we have to image comics tmnt figures

[@exile9024]

I'm not really a toy collector or really a collector of anything but after seeing those Figurearts turtles...I for the first time in 32 years could not fight that childhood urge to snatch them before it was to late so I decided to resurrected my inner childhood nostalgia and purchased all of the Sh Figurearts turtles and I was definitely not disappointed they are incredible but these figures are something else It's like seeing something of yours that you at one point use to own being taken out of a time capsule I want these just as much...I think I may now be addicted to the power, the Turtle Power.

[@GNR1287]

Me too, me too.

[@jlionmenelik77]

I agree how you feel

[@Kigemie]

Ahh so I’m not the only one, my inner child’s going bananas looking at these I NEED!

[@thetoythief8940]

12:51 I always found it funny Leo looked sad on his vintage figure but the new super 7 head sculped fixed that so he doesn't look so sad

[@ookingramseyoo]

I've invested in this line, but to compare it to the movie NECA line at the price point & quality is crazy. They at least made a shell specifically for Raph & their joint control is 10x better at almost half the cost. Super7 has got to do better than this quality wise. I'm seeing way too many reviewers stating their joints are loose.

[@vadoraid2517]

For real! I’m bummed because I just bought this wave. Kinda pricey too. I paid $211 from bigbadtoys. But I was late in the the game ordering these f& I wanted bebop.

[@animatedCHUG]

Yes but from personal experience, many NECA figures have issues regarding breakages. Whereas Super7 doesn't Edit : I also think Super7 give figures better articulation

[@TheBigBigSean]

For $45, that leg looseness is unacceptable.

[@keepmovin1320]

My set's due to arrive today, I"m glad I didn't change my mind about getting them, just wish I would've bought the first set though.

[@bowserstopmotionproduction2933]

On bigbadtoystore, all waves are available again!

[@craigjuan5744]

Seeing as Leo is my number one favorite among the four turtles, he was the first figure I bought from this line. The vintage style head sculpt is leagues better than the original toy I had 30 odd years ago. The position of the eyes are angled a lot better, and I love the overall articulation, details and accessories. Though I never understood why he has a silver buckle around his initials while the other turtles have all black. I may have to paint over that in the future. Nitpicks aside, this is easily the best modern version of my favorite childhood TMNT action figure and it's totally worth it. I can't wait until they release Sewer Samurai Leo later down the road.

[@brianreeddesign]

Yeah, the original looks like his head is melting off to one side

[@blakelivingston9935]

It’d be really cool if Super7 did figure stands that mimic the manhole covers on the packaging, either as a pack-in or as a separate stand pack.

[@charlesphillips331]

My BeBop has the same loose thigh joints. It really stands out given how heavy and solid the rest of the figure is. You can hold the heavy torso and those legs just wiggle all over the place.

[@jamiedeering3400]

Honestly had no idea that's what that other hole on back of the retro ralph's belt was for

[@michaelh9184]

I wish Super 7 had used double jointed knees and elbows.

[@turtlelover5457]

Bro predicted the tmnt super 2003💀

[@rickshatrdglassjazz2395]

Wow - I can't believe how loose those legs are. Mine are tight and my ankle articulation can even hold in place if they are leaning extremely forward and ready to pounce. I guess like most figures these days, tolerances on legs/ arms just vary per person. I did notice I needed to heat the hands/wrists a little to get that added articulation moving smoothly. Love this line so far.

[@impossiblepie]

Great review Dan, I'm still on the fence on super7 in general, their toys just seem overpriced, some look good , some don't.

[@JackieTheBold]

Imo it's not really Leo without the sad eyes.

[@Zapruder1984]

I much prefer that darker gray-black metal on those parts of the belt on Raph. Here's hoping Super7 can somehow get us a replacement belt/harness for Leo with the darker metal paint so all the turtles can look consistent.

[@miller3930]

Mine is Black or the Silver was not applied properly...wondering if this was a mistake or a variation???

[@JohnnyBorja86]

⁠@@miller3930it’s all black on mine too. I’m curious if the silver one was an earlier release and fans complained and thus they released an updated version? Or maybe they made two versions? I just recently purchased mine from BBTS and unboxed him today so I’m late to the party.

[@TheKenan34]

They should've just put the legs on a ball point joint, like they did the bebop figure. I don't like the extra design piece they added inside the hips that holds the legs. They should've given us playmates version with the articulation through the legs and ankles. Stiff joints hold up the text of time. I feel like Super 7 cheated us fans out of the turtles a Lil bit. Overall, I like the figure, but I wish for better figures.

[@hermionestoybox1154]

Our set is due to arrive this afternoon, and my daughter Hermione is keen on reviewing them really soon. (She still needs to cover Snake Mountain first.) Finally getting our first wave figures open has got her jazzed about TMNT again, and she's starting to read the IDW comics with me, which I've been reading since before she was even born. This is a fantastic line; I can't wait to see what else Super 7 has in store for us.

[@the_amazing_crappo]

They should have made the closed communicator peg into the small hole on the side of his belt.

[@darkwoods1954]

That's a great idea.

[@sunnyshine2215]

Literally opened mine up whilst watching this video! I agree about the hips and legs, very loose🙁 other than that a really good figure !

[@TyrannosaurusMoth]

Now I'm extra excited to have mine come in from BBTS! It's a real shame about the loose hip joints but I'm hoping it's something that a little floor polish/Kiki's can fix without too much issue. Also, I'm stupidly excited to see where this line goes. The possibility of getting to see this style update for characters like Slash or Hot Head or (the ONE I want them to do the most) Shoate is kind of a dream come true.

[@Patmanx1]

one of the tricks-of-the-trade I learned with gundam models that have loose ball joints is to paint the joint and that helps thicken it ever so slightly while also providing an abrasive contact point (thanks to the paint). If the legs are the same Y/U ball joint as the classic were you might want to try sprinkling some acrylic paint in the socket and see if it'll hold

[@unagisauce]

That’s great for a model kit and retouching older figures, but people really shouldn’t have to do that for a brand new $45 action figure...

[@dontapinkney3994]

So far, I haven’t had any issues keeping my Leo upright. But great review as always. Your toy reviews & knowledge are the most interesting on KZbin.

[@dravendefay07]

This line is amazing. Except for the Turtles so far. My Raphael is way looser in the hips and one knee won't even bend (even with blow drying)

[@jmeyer3927]

You seem to never mention price in these reviews. And of course I can look up the price, but I do like when reviewers talk about value for the money you pay. Just some constructive criticism. Keep up the good work.

[@mikesoylo1496]

[@letsprayandfasttogether9618]

[@jmeyer3927]

@@mikesoylo1496 yeah, I knew the ballpark but I like when reviewers comment on the value in their opinion. Dan might not bother since the preorder is way over. I’d like to hear if he thinks it’s worth $45.

[@colt5189]

The X that holds his swords on his back is way too low. Should be way up higher on his back.

[@blammers]

They were too cheap to remold the back to accommodate ones sitting at the proper height.

[@Starfig]

The looseness in the line is definitely something they need to address. My Leo wasn't as bad as yours, but it was still pretty loose. Raph was worse.

[@UNITGJ]

Loose joints just kill a figure for me. Real shame

[@robertor9065]

[@dergrizzlyreaper]

Blows Neca out of the water in terms of quality of plastic and texture application

[@jeremyhenderson5163]

All mine have loose hips too, had to order a second bebop, he was really bad.

[@nexus7joynexus7joy97]

I picked up NECA TMNT II Secret Of The Ooze Super Shredder yesterday from Walmart for $29.96. He's 270 g. He has surprisingly hard plastic pointy pieces.

[@ZORRO1639]

I can't say the same, as my Leonardo's joints are all pretty tight allowing me to pose him quite well. Both Shredder and Bebop are awesome in every way, so I'm looking forward to having the entire turtle team in order to display them taking on the 12 Foot Soldiers that I got when wave 1 came out

[@ggoldman43]

I want Super7 to do Mirage Turtles. Take the same molds, remove the initials on the belts, give them red bandanas, and reduce the amount of accessories to just their main weapons. Sell it as a 4-pack.

[@atlanticgames3197]

this leonardo its perfect , i like the original sculpt head, looks vintage

[@RusselTH35]

Is it just me or when he was comparing all of the different versions of Leonardo that the 2013 Nickelodeon version was missing from that line of Leo's

[@KJ-tz7vc]

Are the Super7 Ultimates more durable than the NECA figures?

[@JoelRodriguezJROD81]

Makes me think twice on ordering these figures to expensive if the joints are like that.

[@SpiderHulkThing]

The legs on mine are fine. I have two raphaels open and one has the wobbly legs and the other doesn’t. The gripping hands that look similar are different in the way they hinge at the wrist.

[@mikesoylo1496]

Love the Super7 TMNT line. They are killing it. Leo and Bebop have been my top two so far.

[@dadatarms]

My figure doesn't have the hip bobble issue but his left knee joint will not bend! I've tried heating it but it just feels like the peg will snap if I keep trying

[@dknight121212]

I had the same issue with the right knee. I put a cup of water in the microwave for about 3 minutes, then let the leg sit in there for a minute or so and it loosened right up.

[@dadatarms]

@@dknight121212 thanks! I will try that

[@drakedavon2048]

It's hard to stabilize the figure, because his stomach it's made out of soft rubber. After a while it becomes more lose, because there's more space. So if you just fill up the space with a piece of kitchen paper underneats leonardo stomach, he will not fall over and stands allot firmer on his feet. I know it's sounds crazy, but just try it.

[@Daveyj666]

Still waiting on my Leo figure to land here in the UK. Got the Foot Soldier at Xmas, had to send it back and the left foreare broke off, as soon as I took it out of the packaging. Bebop arrived last week and he is fantastic!

[@darkwoods1954]

I got my wave 2 pretty quick in the UK. It was wave one that never turned up for me and I eventually manged to get my money back off of a reluctant Super7.

[@blammers]

That really sucks that for this price they didn’t even bother to change a single thing on the body. At least give us different shells! They shouldn’t all have identical cuts on their backs. Super7 wants to charge a premium price but offers an inferior product.

[@sindelmybelle2215]

Nobody reviewing these are mentioning the lack of paint on belt accents on the back of Leo. Also the lack of teeth outlines. The turtles should have uniform paint apps and quality but the details are all over the place with these. Great figures so far but QC needs to be stepped up. Loose joints, paint, & materials.

Guess super 7 still hasn't improved with their QC issues. Glad I called it quits with them after the second motu wave. Turtles were tempting but as suspected lose garbage wobbly joints. Glad I didn't cave in and order
