If you look carefully at the interchangeable hands, you'll see they have different motion options. They look similar but offer different angles of motion ;)

[@TheIronhide4ever]

@@CommadoBro It just won't end!

[@Chalor.]

9:26 - The two on the ends are standard up/down swivel hands, and the one in the middle is a left/right 'dice rolling' hand. So you have a pair of regular jointed tight gripping hands, a pair of regular jointed 'fingers spaced out to put the sai blade in the middle if you want' hands, and a pair of hands just like that but with the side-to-side joints. *It'd just be nicer if they did wrist pegs like import and 1/6 figures...so you'd have the option of posing the hands exactly how you want. And an extra pair of wrist pegs (or each hand having wrist pegs like Sideshow does it) would also be great. Mafex pegs do tend to snap, and that's no bueno; especially with no spare pegs.

The cast plastic weapons are so you can sheath them without scraping the silver paint off of the other ones

[@Jason_Belmont]

Thanks, I didn't even realize that.

[@nwobw]

Shhh. You'll confuse Pixel Dan. He doesn't understand why you would want multiple weapons.

[@brendansrambles9464]

I don't see anyone else saying it, so I guess I'll be "that geek" - the weapons that are little blades he grips are both called "fist daggers", and the weapon with the handle and the one straight, one curved blade was referred to as "kama".

[@BrandonNielsen87]

You’re such a geek!! Omahgahd!!!

[@jamesoblivion]

Correctamundo. I'll be that other geek who mentions that the "fist dagger" is also commonly referred to as a "push dagger."

[@Natebrost]

One set of hands is normal, one set of hands hinge in the "handshake" direction, and the third set is for holding the sais between the fingers in that awesome way which we don't always get.

[@ieyke]

The punching daggers are called...punching daggers, or katars. The sickle is a variant of a kama, with a blade sort of akin to a ji or guisarme.

[@Jason_Belmont]

Thanks I always wondered about those. I know the names of lots of martial arts weapons but with some of them I don't know how to go about finding out their actual Japanese titles.

[@justinmiller9865]

I always used to call them pizza blades. Especially since one of them looks like a metal slice of pizza with a handle on it.

[@mannyichi]

These are amazing!! I love the classic weapons that were on the trees many years ago.

[@TheSalemCrow]

I'm not interested in most of the announced figures so far, but if they do an updated toy Slash, I will have to get him. Of all my OG TMNT toys, he's one of the 5 I still have.

[@theultimateninja]

$45?! Dang... Wish all these cool figures were half the price.

[@vgamer11]

@Mephisto Emperor the NECA ones are even more expensive at this point given how many scalpers got them. No one can buy them for retail price anymore

[@Lycano23]

@@vgamer11 a NECA 2 pack of figures retails the same price of just 1 Super7 figure, this Ralph is sold out I guess resales will go for a lot more, yet if you pay a little more for the NECA ones you'll still get 2 figures. If paying $50 for Super7 doesn't hurt you I guess you shouldn't have a problem with paying a little more for NECA, unlike Super7, NECA really worths it😉

[@jamesoblivion]

If they made em half the price, they'd make em half as cool.

[@vgamer11]

@@Lycano23 oh, I never felt like dropping $50 on one Super7 figure, hence why I never even got into this line. In the end I just bit the bullet and bought the Turtles in Time versions of the boys since they were the only ones I could find. I'm in the process of repainting them.

[@hunterlangley8287]

$25 on Entertainment Earth in case you were still holding out.

[@dennisting7530]

Just got back into collecting after a long hiatus, happy to be here again :)

[@ookingramseyoo]

This was the main reason I cancelled my pre-order. EVERYBODY says the joints are loose. These figures cost too damn much & S7 hasn't addressed it at all.

[@Emolga6274]

They are tons of videos on KZbin on how to fix lose joints

[@ookingramseyoo]

@@Emolga6274 Why should you have to with a new $50 figure though?

[@samhainsamhain4927]

You’re gonna regret passing this up. Fixes are easy.

[@LeopoldLitchenstein]

Watching this (and the others) to get a grasp on what to expect from the figures Super7 is making for the 03 Turtles this year. Hoping that those have details to make them more show accurate like brown belts and colored wraps on the weapons (maybe even include extra weapons that resemble the original toy versions).

[@_The_Worst_]

No way P-Danny, I'm going full-on oldschool with my figures and displaying them with their unpainted weapons...👌🏼💯✔

[@TheKennyEstes]

Look forward to when I get mine (& the rest of wave 1).

[@skullninjaraptor]

Hey Dan, we've met and I pose my figures with the ninja stars when I don't lose them. So count 1 for team shruiken.

[@PixelPipes]

I'm seeing a lot of things they could cut from the bundle and re-release at a reduced price later on. I hope it happens.

[@SHOGUNS85]

It won't

[@justinfarmer5989]

Every model I’ve seen in local stores have minor white paint defects/scuff marks around the edge of the mouth along with a smudge of red. Is that something that can be wiped off or? I can’t see if others in store have same defect(if that’s what it could be called) being in the totally sealed box.

[@getupkid238]

I just opened my raph and broke hip joint straight out of the box. I don't understand why they went with such a weak peg design. I bought on the second hand market so return is not really an option. Probably a stretch but anybody got a fix? I can use super glue but that will lock the hip joint.

[@alflo_99xx45]

Alternate head looks similar to the classic game covers or could be a comic look

[@bnkprod]

The weird sai tips on the painted versions would just be from the moulding or where they were cut from the weapon rack at some point in the factory yeah?

[@SignalRidge]

Been waiting for this! I only wish the packaging was more reflective of the OG line.

[@justinmohan7103]

It would be cool. They could do it for an exclusive. I was thinking the same thing, but they might not fit all the accessories in there.

[@jamesoblivion]

That would be nice, but wow does this packaging look and feel classy. I generally recycle figure boxes, but I might have to hang onto this one.

[@ClaudiosCollection]

Shell kickin' review, dude! Love the Super 7 TMNT figure line and that alternate head is incredible!

[@tacotaco7008]

The nostalgia of watching your turtle videos again

[@mrninjaxl1373]

I think the difference in the sais are to be one flat colored more like the cartoon...and the silver ones for the more realistic head sculpt that's included

Can you tell me the dimensions of the packaging?

[@craigjuan5744]

Got the reissue pre-ordered and can't wait to get Raph in my collection. I already own Leo and Mikey, and Donnie will be coming to my doorstep soon as of the time of this comment. When I had the old ones, I wished they were more poseable and articulated. And some 30 odd years later, I and a lot of fans got their wish. These TMNT Ultimates are the figures I've been waiting for.

[@JessopVTS]

Hi Dan! Do these figures fit in any of the vintage tmnt vehicles, since there are no modern equivalent I believe?

[@rankrodent2772]

They don’t

@@rankrodent2772 It's no problem now, since i've finally got my preorder in for the party wagon we'll have somewhere to keep them!

[@goodfellabadguy257]

[@DurrtyGato]

Looks fantastic, but those gummy weapons(have to go) need to be replaced with hard plastic.

[@chrish7983]

I get the minor gripes but for me this is in the running for Figure of the Year. Fantastic recreation of my childhood. Also I don't know why people complain about the $45 price tag. It's a small company doing direct-to-order...of course they aren't going to be the same price as Hasbro toy at Walmart.

[@Rodizzle182]

As someone who routinely purchases $50 figures and $20 Marvel Legends, I think any complaints about the price point for these figures are valid. This is my reasoning. Playmates stipulates how other company's are able to use the TMNT license. They probably stipulated that Super7 had to market these figures as collectables and sell them at the $45 price point as a way of preventing them from cannibalizing their sales of other Playmates and NECA products. Super7 has to make enough money to pay Super7, Viacom, Nickelodeon, whover, etcetera. I understand how that aspect of setting the price point works and personally, I'm comfortable spending that amount of money on action figures. However, I don't feel like I'm getting $45 of value from these figures. I feel like we're getting Marvel Legends quality figures for SH Figuarts prices. The articulation is satisfactory, which isn't necessarily a bad thing on it's own. However, when I pay $45 (plus tax) for a single action figure, I believe I'm justified in having higher expectations than just satisfactory. Super7 tried justifying the price point by adding a lot of accessories, but most of the accessories seem redundant to me. Many of them are being reused as well, making them feel even more redundant. The other thing Super7 did to try and justify the price point was give us really impressive packaging, but I don't feel that packaging validates the price point either. This is because I wouldn't expect the packaging costs to have been high enough to impact the selling price that dramatically. To be clear, I ordered all of these figures, have them in hand and I like them very much. I just don't feel like I've received $180 worth of value from Super7 for these.

[@tgonzalez1983]

I wish they could’ve added the OG artwork & weapon descriptions on the back of the box. Really cool though

[@knightwalker317]

Throw some “pledge floor care” in them joints, and it could tighten them joints right up with a brush

[@Therealninjaturtle]

Where can I get theses?

[@phillpaul1279]

This figure kind of reminds me of playmates classic collection turtle figures but more slimer and slicker.

[@GatorDave]

Figured I just get my favorite turtle Leo from this line but I’m really regretting not grabbing Raph, especially after seeing the after market cost. Any chance Super 7 will rerelease him?

[@jamesoblivion]

Raph's my favorite, and aside from a couple NECA lines, all that really remains of my TMNT collection is a variety of Raphs. Really glad I got this guy. Super neo-nostalgia. Definitely recommend picking up the Turtle of your choice.

[@knightwalker317]

I hope they remake another one with the open shell and u can store extra weapons in the shell of Raph or any other tmnt fig

[@Batman1016]

I really wanted to see a size comparison of this figure next to the super-articulated Playmates Classic Collection Raphael, 'cuz unless I'm way off, they should be near identical in height and bulk.

[@SPac316]

Can't wait to see the other three turtles and the villains. Splinter and April too.

[@user-rf3sy4xz9i]

When does super7 release ultimate leonardo

[@Shinmsl]

I am kicking myself for not preordering Splinter when It was available, but I just couldn't afford it then. Hopefuly BBTS restocks some in the future ( one can dream, right?)

[@wolfmansgotnardz8000]

Painted sai and other weapons are cut from a weapon sprue. They match up. Thats what the nubs are from, and they are just as soft. Unpainted solid sai are from separate casting .

[@idstealer000]

No comparison to the Playmates Classics?

[@Rodizzle182]

That would have been good.

[@ActionFigures-ng1qr]

It’s the belt removable?

[@Kjsxvs]

Yes your back with the tmnt less goooo

[@thefont9]

"Chunky" is the Pixel Dan descriptor of choice.

[@panda1774]

I'm pretty up to date with neca so unless they do playmates figure homages I'm gonna give these a try managed to get in for Mikey , Casey and bebop my favourites , maybe we can get reissues of raph and leo .I'm happy to wait for the others anyway ,it's crazy how we have gone from a drought to several lines for the collector

[@SmokeForPants]

The silver paint probably would have stuck to the shell and holster if he was packed with the fully painted set tucked in his belt.

[@ultimateslinger9857]

Man I wish companies Would do stuff like this for Ben 10 toys. For me Ben 10 toys were like what ninja turtles toys were for y’all. I lots of fun playing with those as a kid

#1 reviewer I was wanting of these figures Side note - wish we got fists

[@phoenix792000]

Awesome Super 7 Ultimates TMNT Raphael figure review ☺ He looks amazing, I prefer the classic style to these figures compared to some of the other variations, and they would display really well in box also with the awesome box art and style, the Four Horsemen do beautiful detail on there figures, cool that you get the options with the extra accessories, and that you get the turtle-com. and pizza slice lol 😂 he does have a few similar hands though, always like tight joints on the figures hopefully they will fix that up, but would definitely buy him he looks awesome ☺️💚

[@jimwantsaliens]

Neca need to do some of their TMNT figures in the colors of the original toys

[@InconsistentContent]

These figures are insane

[@JurassicRod]

Rather than the somewhat pointless multiple hands, I wish he had come with a spare belt without the 'R' and looking more comic booky to go with his extra head for a less cartoony look if desired.

[@josephswrestlingshowriggs93]

It would of been cool if the pizza had a hole in it so you could put the sai through it

[@sagekuragi9770]

where can i buy this?

[@sagekuragi9770]

back in stock bayyybeee

[@dobbear]

For me the nitpick with these figures is the lack of double jointed elbows and knees, if the managed to incorporate those, I feel these would of been some of the best TMNT figures available.

[@legend98ish]

I feel like these will be the best turtles . I honestly don't see NECA coming close to this.

[@Mightymorphinninjaturtles]

I wonder how the individual figure prices of these are gonna go on the after market. I have a feeling the turtles are gonna hold their price, or increase in value, but I'm not completely convinced of the others. Particularly splinter and april. Just have to wait and see I guess.

[@salaciouscrumb3704]

Does super7 ever re-release figures? Not too familiar with this company and missed out on this

[@salaciouscrumb3704]

[@KJtheSK]

I reeeeeaaaaally enjoy super7's designs and toys they produce (Ultimates, vintage/retro, reAction, Muscle). But I also reeeaaaally dislike their quality control, especially for the price they charge for their stuff. Their toys are definitely meant to stay in their packaging, and I'm no box collector. Super cool Raph for sure though.

[@raphaelhatake8706]

[@bjpalm1994]

Grteat review Dan! As cool as these are I feel like some of the accessories are there merely to justify the "Ultimate" tag & label. A pair of grip, gesture and fists would be ok for hands and why 2 sets of sai's? Would love to grab this whole line but that price is kinda steep. Cut out the redundant accessories and lower the price a little would probably move more of these. The looseness of the waist and hips is concerning as well. For 45+ a piece these should be darn near perfect, lol.

“These are in everyone’s hands now.” Correction: BigBadToyStore hasn’t even gotten their shipment from Super7 yet. So everyone who preordered from BBTS (like me) is going to have a long wait ahead before finally getting theirs. Sigh...

I preordered Baxter with them and they are listing him for late Agust, so that probably means next week

[@Rodizzle182]

That's lame. I ordered mine directly from Super7 and received them already, but I had to pay a bit more for S&H. I guess that was the trade off. I plan on using BBTS for wave 2 though to try and save some $.
