Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Figures - Page 2

Does the Baxt... er... "Superfly" figure come with fuzzy hair.... like a Troll doll?

Interesting that they've gone all-in on the original figure's hunter motif for LH. Even has night vision goggles now!

Splinter with glasses is unique. Guessing we're looking at another mutated Hamato Yoshi, then. (Which also explains how Don has a pair. Might be Yoshi's old spares.)

Designs are terrible and seem to be weird proportions for weird proportions sake.

That said the Playmates figures look great. Lots of articulation (for PM) and a fair amount of accessories. Good toys.

But bad designs.

They look pretty great. Everyone will have their opinions on the character designs but I like the weird disjointed cartoony look to them. I think the figures themselves look like the best playmates stuff in years besides maybe the last ronin figure. I also like the card art. I'll probably get most of these.

Bebop looks like the PD version of Bebop and I don't really get the "Wow" tattoo.
I don't like that FW Leatherhead was used as the template for this and I really don't like the skinny arms and other janky proportions, he really should look much better than this. I'm fine with Bebop and Rocksteady looking ugly and absurd because I don't take them or their place in the franchise seriously, but Leatherhead should be treated with more respect.
I hope "Superfly" isn't Baxter Stockman, if he is, then at least he looks cooler than all the other depictions of him as a fly monster and is quite possibly best design among these toys. I'd still prefer him to either just be a human or a cyborg, personal bias.
I get what they're going for with Rocksteady, trying to give him a somewhat realistic rhino head, but he looks like he'd want to kill himself because of the constant agony.
This far from the ugliest Splinter design ever (Rise and PD are quite notorious, with Chris Allan's depiction being the one I personally feel disgust towards), and if he's shorter than the Turtles or at least average human adults, then (arguably) the core idea is kept more intact than in the 2012 show. However, I don't really get why he's wearing glasses, a T-shirt and slacks, it looks... Like really unfitting attire.
I'm not sure why April and the Rat King aren't among these, we already know they will be in the movie. April admittedly does not like she'd make for a toy kids would want but surely the Rat King can't? Right?
Finally, I get that they're homaging the original toyline with the full orange and grey accessories... But once again, why is that worth homaging? Like seriously, why would you do that?

Hard pass on these figures. The turtles are o.k-ish..... but the villains look straight up crappy as Hell. The proportions don't sit well with me and come off too goofy and I know that's the art style but in figure form they look like crap. If people want these great but for me it's also great in that I don't have to hunt these down like say with the Neca line.

'spensive!

[But I also thought they might be priced as high as $13]

Oh man, the pizza thrower looks really good. I'm probably going to get just the basic four turtles (villains don't look all that great design wise), maybe that pizza thrower too...I dunno. I really should curb this habit. It's getting out of control.

They really don't look that bad, as representations of the characters. The colors certainly pop.

Combining the Turtle van with the pizza thrower is an interesting idea.

I feel myself being tempted here.

The lair set looks pretty cool.

After a closer look, I think this might be the best Playmates figures since the 2003 show. I love the 2012 figures but the unpainted weapons were disappointing, this new set of toys have the best of both worlds, the paint details of the 2003 series and the articulation of the 2012 figures.

Oh good, looks like Don's glasses are removable!

If so, I'm quite surprised!

Dont get your hopes up on that. Looks like they are attached like Baxter Stockman's from NECA

*Zachatello00* · 03-08-2023, 04:01 PM

The figure in the party wagon doesn’t have them on at all.

But upon closer inspection, that MIGHT be Leo…

*RaphaelinSTL* · 03-12-2023, 02:40 PM

NECA won’t be touching these. Any “current” movie figures are basically in Playmates wheelhouse.

After the presumed Playmates debacle with Super7, I think NECA will be avoiding anything actively associated with the Playmates toy brands, which is a shame because we will likely never see a vintage-style toy line from NECA (it also explains why NECA has been hesitant about talking openly about the 2K3 show, especially since the toy designs were more closely aligned with the toon).
