When my son was young, over 20 years ago, he was a big fan of the original TMNT toys. He collected each and every figure along with their vehicles, accessories and anything else that sported a shell.
Now, a whole new generation of kids can enjoy the adventures of the amphibian foursome in this exciting new toy series from Playmates Toys.
Each figure stands approximately five to six inches tall and is fully-articulated. You can pose them as if fighting, running or standing still, if you’re so inclined.
Each comes with a set of weapons that the figures can hold snuggly. Leonardo comes with two Katana swords, Michelangelo with nunchucks, Donatello has his trusty staff and Raphael his Sai. All come with an additional Ninja Arsenal of such things as throwing stars, knives, hooks and other deadly Ninja tools of the trade.
All of the figures are nicely sculpted with tight articulation and parts that move easily and stay assembled. Paint and color application is first-rate with no slop over or rough edges. Pieces have smooth edges with tight assembly.
Each figure stands easily on its own and can be positioned in hundreds of poses.
Packaging is colorful and provides clear views of the figures and their accessories. On the back of the bubble packs are full descriptions of the characters contained along with photos of other TMNT figures.
Cowabunga!
