New Ninja Action Turtles, Review & Lots of Pics!

[NinjaTurtle]

I got the new Ninja Action Turtles today. :)

Articulation:
1. arms move up and down
2. Head turns
Thats it.......

Action:
1. Each Turtle has a different flip action, it works pretty well. I haven't been able to get Don's to work yet, Don does a cart-roll and it works differently than the other turtles actions.
It's pretty cool, Leo's back flip is awesome! :)

Sculpt:
1. All the turtles have pretty good sculpts, they all are crouching forward a bit, they look battle ready this way like they are fixing to attack. This makes them shorter than the regular turtle figures, Shredder is much taller compared to the action figures, more like Shredder is in the tv show, so thats cool :) Raph has a sculpted back pack on his shell to help with his flip.
Pretty good

Paint:
1. The paint is like all the other turtle figures, they have one yellow line on each arm and one yellow line on each side of their front shell (called their plastron).

Weapons/back drop:
1. Each turtle comes with their normal weapons and alternate weapons and different back drops that break apart. The weapons are brown plastic like the old turtle figures from the past.

Pics:
I have 3 pages of pics, click the pic to make it bigger, if the pic has a little guy with a clock on it, click the pic anyway and it will work. at the top of the page you can go to the next page of pics.
Enjoy. :)

And they have TAILS! how funny....

[KROW]

They have tails AND tales! ZING! :roll:

I'm glad you guys liked the pics and review. :) Is there any more pics or info I can provide? Just let me know. :)

cqb101, They cost $8.99 at Toys R Us.

Really? The Toys R Us I work at has them for 9.99. Lucky!

I think they're all right. I'm glad to see that like some other figure companies, playmates is making some backdrops or diaromas. Another good thing is, unlike those other companies, the basic figures aren't dependant on them to sell well.

I thought it was neat that they put vintage weapons in there. If you pay close attention to the hilts, you'll see that these aren't just mono-toned weapons that they use for the new figures. These are old skool baby!

The one complaint I have though is that what made the older ninja action turtles so cool is that they resembled the mirage drawings of the turtles, complete with tails (which look interesting now :o)

All in all however, I think these ninja action turtles are pretty neat, and I'm sure I"ll end up getting a couple. I really like the Donatello. I had the old Raph, so I'll probably get that one too.

Nice, and thanx for the pix... I have not seen anything since the Fighting Gear Turtles around Christmas time here... (in Canada) I have checked the major department stores often all we have are the extreme sports, regular and fighting gear TMNT... I have been waiting for Turtle toddlers, Mutations, Turtle Titan etc for ever....

BTW I have 2 of the old Ninja action figs, Leo and Raph they pretty well look the same except the new ones look more like the new TMNT... Old ones also had tails....

I still can't get my Donatello to work, I hope Playmates didn't forget to give mine the "action feature thingy" so I call it :lol: because he doesn't make that winding noise like the other turtles when I try to get him to work. Anyone have any ideas for me on how to get him to work?
