I made a video pointing out the inaccuracies I noticed with this Tmnt movie star 6 pack. If you noticed anything else let me know. everyone knows right off the bat that Splinter is just an 88 repaint, but I also noticed all of the turtles use the same Leonardo body which is a bummer.

Same Leo body? Didn't they all share the same body even back in the day?

I guess I assumed the shell piece was the same across all 4 of them

-Playmates added Movie Star to Super Shredder for this release. - The Movie Star turtles and Splinter come with the 1st basic wave accessories for Splinter and the turtles. - The skin tones of the Movie Star turtles are off. - Movie Star Leo’s bandana is different for this release.

wow...
it is sad when the KO set on ebay and amazon are better versions or at least on par with this set. at least the KO splinter is the correct sculpt and the turtles have movie accessories. These turtles use the same bodies and come with the orignal turtles' weapons. Splinter is just a repaint of the original figure. The only one close to correct is Shredder. Christ that is just lazy. If playmates has just repainted the original turtles in a movie styled decco at least that would be unique and interesting. |

They look very weird with those legs and giant spots. Splinter eyes are... unpleasant.

Like with other rereleases by Playmates these are good for collectors who want cheap figures for custom projects or to repaint. |

Well, at least, the Movie Star set doesn’t have oversized rotocast heads. That would add insult to injury.

The current playmates strategy seems to be to use old molds and release them at the cheapest rate possible in limited quantities and it seems to be quite profitable. They aren't spending much money on any of these, just the minimum and people are buying the complete stock. I wonder what the profit margins are on these re-releases. I'm sure they'll continue to release them since it's quite profitable for them.

Nothing screams out to be collected like a box-set with nice packaging. These figures are abominations, but even I am tempted by some of these boxes. Especially because you don't see a lot of that old school Playmates style TMNT art these days.
