[@travistaylor2980]

His bigger size is mentioned in the book. In the second issue Mike is wondering why the fall didn't kill him, April deduces that all the years of exposure to all the radiation has mutated him, making bigger and stronger.

[@ToyShiz]

Yes.

[@Mr.Jaysick]

Plus, this is the future and he’s no longer a teenage mutant ninja turtle. He’s a grown a$$ man ninja turtle!

[@Jirenpridetrooper2399]

I just got my last ronin neca figure from Best Buy in Bradenton it’s lovely best neca figure I own amazing figure never knew the teenage mutant ninja turtles would go down such a dark path

[@guatobean2869]

Just got mine, and honestly the paint apps, the mold, the accessories, and the sculpt itself makes this hands down one of, if not, the best figures NECA has produced! It's just so good to look at!!

[@CandGoods]

He dual-wields the tonfa in Last Ronin, so really you have to get both Armored and Unarmored Last Ronins to have him properly armed up with a tonfa on each side.

[@ToyShiz]

and to hold the book

[@NickDoobs]

All three of these are really good. I'm having a hard time deciding which NECA one I prefer. I think I like the unarmored look better, but the armored one comes with better accessories.

[@alirezarahdar6543]

yeah that's the problem..

[@86Brasco]

One thing id want is the 4 bandannas

[@contra3six977]

The Armored version is definitely a contestant for figure of the year

[@CyborgSodaCollects]

Agreed

[@johnadams5499]

I just grabbed the Armored and Unarmored version both.

[@clemsontgr84]

Really hoping the Playmates Ronin was also a proof of concept for an Origins style line.

[@siscobeast82]

The armored version hides the articulation well. It’s a really good figure.

[@sploogemccallister]

What I'd really like to see are figures based on the mainline IDW comics. Those designs are begging to be made into plastic

[@ToyShiz]

Super 7 did those with the alt heads on the Turtles

[@dogsofgore7708]

@@ToyShiz yeah but we want a good company to make em

[@ilkvomit88]

@@dogsofgore7708 preorders up now at Super7 ... Slated for Q1 2026 😅

[@DragoonMS]

Not sure, but I think that was already done, given that the IDW designs were largely based on the 2012 TMNT show on Nickelodeon - Playmates & (Yamaguchi?) Revoltech had figures for those character designs.

[@guatobean2869]

I'l be applying black (blood) paint apps to the yelling face and hopefully the non-armored version can kneel so I can do that iconic seppuku scene!! Also, I hope they make the flashback turtles!! Ben Bishop's design is so good! If we can get the Mateus Santolouco ones, that'll be perfect! Oh man.

[@EggJump]

I wanted to pick up one of the neca figures and I couldn't decide but after watching this in my opinion the no armor version is so much cooler I really like the detail on the shell and skin. This really helped me decide awesome video.

[@Tenucha]

Thank you for warning about they're being spoilers for the comic so at 1:40 I switched off. Since within the first 30 seconds of The Review Spot's video he blurted out the spoiler and then hoped it didn't matter. It did. I finally got my hands on both the hardback collected book and the armored figure and I was going to unbox after reading the book but decided to watch a figure review as something to put on while eating dinner. So I appreciate that you at least gave a heads up. I'll pick up on your review after I get to the book.

[@MeganNelson-z8l]

The figures are amazing especially the Playmates one, it reminds me of the two pack of the Marage comics turtles and the stranger things figures that playmates did.

[@TasteTheD]

Ive got both the b&w and original playmates and the armoured NECA. Im going to keep them boxed and display the unarmoured version - when i finally get my hands on him, in the seppuku pose ontop of the comics. I cant wait to get this display going!

[@bigjazzy7868]

Dude i got the armored one on sunday and its my favorite collectable that i own

[@TheADHDad]

I’d waited for a comparison of these, luckily the Shiz came along and I’ve come to the conclusion that…I’m still most likely getting all three. I LOVE being a Turtle!

[@daniel79tj]

NECA is the best, but I like the playmates ones with a perfect mix of nostalgia and modern cues and the darker color palette

[@the_cheap_ones]

I pulled the string in the back and it said I got a snake in my boot... i thought it was odd. 👢 🐍

[@BuckleUp97]

Man, the neca ones are really nice but that playmates figure is perfect to me.

[@CrunchySoftServe]

The legs on the armored last ronin can kick out a lot more than that. Great review great figures I need the un armored version!!!

[@RobbieRocketship]

Playmates would’ve had an instant buy from me if it were retro style on a retro card.

[@ilkvomit88]

I like the packaging it's in but yeah that would have just hit the sweet Nostalgia spot so hard

[@BriarShinn]

Neca 100% this isn't even a competition lol

[@Fardawg]

I recently got the armored version from my Walmart and am getting the unarmored version online. The figure is amazing, though I do wish one of the two included the colored masks seen on the box art of the unarmored version. Those are very important to the character. It would be easy to make custom ones from cloth, but they would have made a nice accessory in a soft plastic.

[@Toytle7]

Finally someone compares these figures. Both are great but personally I think playmates did a better style figure but neca never disappoints

[@JBen7253]

Buying both Neca

[@nicolasgregory7207]

Whenever we get Hiroto Shredder I plan to give unarmed both Nunchaku to recreate one of the best panels. Mikey going full shirtless bruce lee with nunchaku on his ass! You should of shown how the box panels line up to create a picture, you can see part of Raph's hand since I believe he's going to be released next.

[@ADAM_COLLECTS]

i wish playmates made an unarmored version, it could’ve been cool

[@CyborgSodaCollects]

I'm wondering if this is coming to Target 🤔. I found the variant version today at Walmart. Damn I could skip that identity reveal fast enough 😅

[@funkin-fungoid]

I found both neca figures at best buy

[@robertfuentes9677]

"Just be careful with the tip, know what I'm sayin?"........ yes, yes we do

[@atsylor5549]

I’m not a turtle fan but that Neca last ronin armored version was just bought after this review. And now I’m debating on the unarmored version but I’ll wait until I get it in hand before I decided.

[@ericpurnomo8173]

I wish NECA hooded one had the 'unarmored face sculpt. Grimm, stoic-look would fir better with hood.

[@mobiasjoe2807]

The shirtless version is going to be lounging around eating pizza in my lair display. I'll probably re-enact that scene with him at least once, though. 😱

[@mrm1devil749]

When I got my unarmored ronin I could fit the tonpha on like the back strap

[@figkid]

When I got the armored Neca mikey I heard the katana make a little”Shing” sound that a REAL katana would sound like when it came out the holster

[@ToyShiz]

And then you realized an actual ninja was behind you with a Kitanna

[@ilkvomit88]

I really really hope that last Ronin figure is a sign of things to come from Playmates in terms of them doing something similar to Masters of the Universe Origins but for TMNT. FINGERS CROSSED

[@nicolasgregory7207]

i'll absolutely go broke lmao. I been using BST AXN as my 5 inchish line to display with things like the Party Wagon

[@MrSlonkVR]

0:27 I just bought one from wal mart😂

[@ToyShiz]

What’s funny bout that?

[@MrSlonkVR]

@@ToyShiz sorry me and my brother share an account so I I’ll ask him later.

[@RJ-xh4xb]

If you can only buy one figure among the 3 Last Ronin figures, which one would it be? And why?

[@liljagey]

The Last Ronin is the finished version of an old idea for the future of the original Mirage Run.

[@ToyShiz]

I’ve seen a dozen TMnT “futures” over the years, this is just another one

[@ThatGuy-zj8kg]

TMNT Origins? Yes please 🙏

[@michaelshade1702]

This story is fucking depressing man,Mikey is the only survivor of his family,the party dude who is a goofball has to harden and fight by himself without his brothers or father

[@ralphyfirebird4662]

Love these, they're all so great.

[@jamesoblivion]

Man, this is like pitting a Corvette against a Gremlin. Playmates, in my opinion, lost the plot a long time ago, with the primary TMNT license. Most of their decisions make no sense anymore, and most other companies producing TMNT figures - especially NECA - are consistently delivering killer figures for the franchise.

[@TMP912]

The playmates one is 11.99 on dorkside right now...

[@SuperFanBrad]

the tonfa is made of rebar. used in concrete

[@rocelynnetagle2047]

That is Black Raphael

[@thomasbrock1215]

Neca for days I love my armored version

[@Saiyan1229]

Neca for sure. One of my favorite figures of the year

[@RedZillaStriker]

Probably obvious but do the heads swap between the two necas?

[@ToyShiz]

Yeah they’re all universal

[@RedZillaStriker]

@@ToyShiz awesome! Just picked up the unarmored and want to make sure I can use the more stoic head on the armored. Reminds me of the beginning shots from the comic.

[@Basticoon03]

Is the smallest 6 inch?

[@lianaverwood9810]

Neca has the better version but, why isn't it more black like the playmates version.

[@joseacordero2837]

I’ll take the Armored Ronin eyes wide shut!

[@Infinity_wolf]

Definitely buying both of necas

[@nicolasgregory7207]

Plus side of this is all the box art panels line up to make a picture :D

[@OPCollecting]

Why you gotta do Playmates like that LOL its looking like a bootleg next to the NECA

[@ToyShiz]

With that mentality you’re essentially a bootleg TMnT fan😂

[@1r0nm2]

What you mean by heat it up

[@comepuchas990]

10.31.23

[@paulmchughcomedy]

Can save you 17 minutes. It's neca.

[@NickDoobs]

which NECA?

[@ToyShiz]

@@NickDoobsyeah that guy didn’t save you any time at all😂

[@paulmchughcomedy]

Both. Armoured and unarmoured. Saved you again.

[@TheChappy73]

It's Csnon because it's made by the original creators.

[@ToyShiz]

nothing is canon anymore

[@Saiyan1229]

That doesnt necessarily make it canon that its created by the same creators.

[@smolbean3273]

Nice to see more of the comic versions getting more figure representation!👏👏😎 Btw am I the only 1 who thinks the other tmnt animated tv adaptations don’t get NEARLY AS MUCH representation outside of their original Playmates Toys lines??😦 it’s always the either the OG 80’s series, the Jim Henson live action trilogy, or the various comic stories except the IDW series for whatever reason!🙄 so if Neca or any other manufacturer decides to dip their toes into the other shows, which 1 would you like to see??🙃 either A. tmnt 2003, B. tmnt 2012, or C. Rise of the tmnt??🫤
