He's on their new body that they established with the Astonishing Wolverine
Why they didn't give that body to secret wars guy, I'll never know
They hyped up Secret Wars guy too, so we thought he'd have the body
Called him "the best Wolverine yet" .... and then he was revealed with the old body and it was like "come on, man"
It's not that it's a bad body, my Wolverines have that body, it's great.... it's just going on 10 years old, and there's a new one, so come on man.
worn plover
yeah, I’m seeing reviews and whatnot and it’s not talked about in the best way, ...
He was definitely not received well, but it's honestly not because he's a bad figure, it's because we're very tired of Hasbro's shitty practices with pricing, which... you'll understand soon enough as you keep collecting lol. I love Marvel Legends as much as I hate them lmao.
Using Hulk as an example, If a figure doesn't sell out and it ends up sitting there for ages, it's gonna go on sale, never be afraid to wait for that... FOMO is real, but it's worth it to wait a lot of the time
I got Modok for $15 on Amazon
$50 figure on release
Which was a really dumb price btw, but that's besides the point, the point is that waiting paid off
Not saying to do that for Hulk, he probably won't go down much further than he is now
But yeah
Also, pay attention to Imports, like SH Figuarts, and especially MAFEX. They're more expensive, but you're actually getting a figure worth its price. Sometimes there's almost no reason to get the ML over the MAFEX.
I'd say look into Mafex Spidey for sure
Love my Mafex spidey
Though, this is the OG, I don't have the newer version which has a lighter blue
I also adore my Mafex Venom, but he's not very tall, which leads people to not like him too much
He's like a head taller than Spider-man
Which works for me tbh

Yeeaah, this guy
He suffers from Big Head syndrome pretty bad
Was a big issue with ML at this period
Also he's on the old Bucky Cap Mold, which is literally the first Mold they ever created for the ML reboot that started in 2012.... so like, even by 2016 we were already getting tired of it
Oh okay, he was 2014
That's slightly better
Right, TASM 2 wave
At the time I wondered why they left out Movie Goblin... now I realize we were better off
I still have that Spider-Man somewhere, he was the only one I got from this wave
People liked that superior Spider-Man, but they thought it was really lame that he didn't come with the arms
Now there is a version that did come with the arms, so he's basically obsolete
New one is like way better in every way actually lmao

Fun fact, Tobey in the movie was originally going to have web shooters (it even made it into one of the early trailers), but this was scrapped late in development, but the figures were already on their way, so they just didn't paint the web shooter they had sculpted

Currently otw
Tri-Klops is technically the only character I don't already have, but there are reasons I got She Ra and Skeletor
The She-Ra I have is based on the cartoon, so she's a bit short, and her hair is so yellow that she sticks out a bit on my shelf. This ^ She-Ra is based on the Toy, so she's more "realistic" in design, and she'll fit in better

You can see what I mean about she ra kinda sticking out

She looks less detailed.
Which, hey, accurate
Just not the aesthetic of my shelf
My biggest issue is that she's too short though. She's supposed to be the same height as her brother, and even next to my Cartoon He-Man that isn't the case.
She's a good figure, but she was kind of disappointing, like most of the Super7 releases for this line. Mattel moved on to the current stuff they're doing now, so Super7 handled the end of this line... and it's just not quite as good.
She can barely hold her sword, she straight up cannot hold her shield, and she doesn't stand very well. She's just sort of disappointing. Cartoon He-Man (also Super7) originally was super glossy and shiny, and I Matted him out myself. I fucked up in some places, but he overall looks way better now.
Cartoon Skeletor is the best super7 figure I have
He has no real issues

@long wedge I just wanna say, friend, pal.... always let Figure collecting be a hobby, not an addiction
I was just browsing a sub Reddit and found a post where someone talked about their figure addiction, and then all the comments was people showing how bad theirs has gotten
And man... I have been there, don't ever let yourself do that
I have drawers and drawers and boxes and boxes of figures that I just can't display or don't want to display
Half of them don't even feel sellable for a variety of reasons
Here soon I'm gonna go through them and I'm gonna see what I can do, because I need to downsize my collection

I’ve ngl been collecting Elites and stuff for about 6-7 years, but I’ve always been pretty good at keeping it a hobby thankfully my family taught me about budgeting and stuff surrounding spending habits since before I could even earn income

He's awesome
All the characters from 1982-1985 are pretty great
Not that the line gets bad or anything, but there are less All-timers imo, though there's still plenty
Honestly nah, the whole Vintage line is just kinda awesome, and the entire point of MOTU Classics was to take the vintage toys and bring them up to modern standards, they're basically just 1:1 recreations, which is why this is my favorite line. I do like the stuff that's out now tbh, but it just doesn't appeal to me the same way these do, they're the classic designs, but the detail and sculpt work is amazing.
They were sculpted by 4 Horsemen studios, who are still the best in the business

Enter Bruiser the Beetlejuician Berserker Baboon
This is my Bucky O'Hare display. Really fun toyline/comic/cartoon from the early 90's, was pretty short lived in the grand scheme, but he's got a decent cult following.
I only wanted the crew of the righteous indignation (Bucky's ship) from this line, and sadly Bruiser was the last member made before the line died. We are missing 2 members, which is sad, but this is the MAIN crew so it's okay. I got the other 3 while the line was active, but I was stupid and waited on Bruiser until he disappeared from online stores.
I'm glad I was able to find Bruiser for a decent price
Basically got him for retail
Once the other figures leave online stores, they're all gonna be really annoying to find, so I'm glad I got them while I had a chance

Battle armor He-Man was my first ever MOTU figure, so it feels nice to have his counterpart
I think this is the only Skeletor figure with regular fuzzy trunks instead of the more Roman style skirt
At least in this line it is
I used to not want to be "guy who owns a bunch of he-mans and skeletors", and now I very much am that guy lmao
And what's funny, I only have 1 alternate version of each, the rest are just normal
If Classics didn't lame out with Flying Fists He-Man, I'd want him
The vintage toy is cool because he's Chromed out
They did not chrome out the classics guy and it's lame
What makes it super lame is that they did chrome out Hurricane Hordak!
But the He-Man who's supposed to fight him just got flat Silver
Lame
Awesome toyline, the best MOTU Toyline imo, but some of the decisions, like this one, were very lame
It's even lamer when you see they chromed out Thunder Punch He-Man
To be fair, though, he came after flying fists, and this was somewhat of a response to the fan disappointment

Pulled this bad boy out of the closet (ignore the floor, it's all closet junk I'm still working on)
Such an iconic and dope vehicle design
Got this for Christmas in 2012? (I think) during one of the many re releases they've done for the original toyline
I also got Donatello when the only turtle I still needed was Mikey 😭
Took me years to finally get Mikey
He wasn't at Toys R Us the next time I went, and these specific releases were TRU exclusive, so I was SOL
I'm actually about to replace this Donatello with the version I got for Christmas all those years ago lol (I returned it at the time since I already had him). As you can probably tell, Donnie is from a different series than this Brothers (he's also actually a 1st release from the 90's instead of a re release), and while I love my Donnie to death and will keep him displayed on another shelf, I've gotten somewhat tired of him not matching the others.
I do think the Storage shells (Donatello) are the best version of the turtles released in the original line, but I already have them displayed in package, and I'd like to let the 4 OG's have their shine
But fr, the storage shells are so fucking awesome
The faces, the colored belts, all of it
Awesome fucking stuff
If you're wondering why they're called storage shells
They're so fucking cool
They don't look weird on the back because of it either, you get a tiny hinge but it's fine
Genuinely just the best versions of the OG Turtles
I think storage shell Donnie was the first thing I ever gave my Mom money for to buy off EBay lmao

I fucking HATE what exclusives have become man, it really fucking sucks. Retailers nowadays quite literally will often only carry a line if they can have a certain number of exclusives, and this goes across the board, if it goes in retail, you're gonna have to deal with exclusives. The biggest problem here, well, TLDR is that ToysRus went out of business, and they were the only ones good at exclusives lmao. Longer explanation is that our Main retailers that get exclusives are Target and Walmart, and it's a disaster more often than not. They're both HORRIBLE about ordering and stocking said figures, they're both HORRIBLE about Pre-Orders, and have like a 60%+ chance of your shit getting canceled, with Walmart it's honestly closer to 75% chance.
Not only are exclusives bad in general.... then we get shit like this fuckery right here, Neca Haulathon. This is a thing they have set up with Target where they basically do a Mutli-Week long release of certain figures, and it's all set up on a specific end cap dedicated to it. This sounds like it would fine and good, but they ALWAYS make super desired figures a part of Haulathon, and they are ALWAYS a pain in the ass to get. You think the option of having the figures online would also make it easy as pie, but if you've ever experienced how fast Concert Tickets can sell out, Figures are the same way. You can have that shit in your cart and it's sold out by the time you check out.
worn plover
12 year old me would probably explode if I saw My collection now lmao
I don't even necessarily mean the size, though that would be part of it lol. I mostly mean in regards to the figures that have been made over the years.
In terms of getting super articulated TMNT figures, it was slim pickings for a very long time
I remember when, in regards to normal versions of the Turtles, not counting variants and action feature versions, this was what we had. The guys at the bottom were the closest thing we came to normal Fully articulated turtles, but they weren't even released until I was 13, and I started following the greater Turtles franchise when I was 10. The original Neca Comic turtles are awesome, they always were, but they've always been hard to get... and the red masks automatically makes them more niche, especially if you're a young Cobra who doesn't own any Ninja Turtles. I was never able to find the bottom guys in stores, though I wanted them quite badly, and by the time I could've gotten them, they were outdated as figures, and they didn't appeal to me visually as much anymore.
This set right here though
This shit changed the game forever
It was a SDCC 2016 exclusive so obtaining it was not an option for me at the time, but man.... these things were so awesome at the time.
They were still kinda niche in design due to being based on the arcade game... but within the next few years we did get normal Cartoon Neca Turtles, and now we are where are, every company has made a ninja turtle lmao.
I never even ended up getting the normal cartoon Turtles from Neca because I went with the Figuarts
I did eventually get the arcade Turtles because they were re-released in the Turtles in time series
Oh, I forgot about the 2007 movie figures
They were arguably the best multi colored mask turtles for a while
No ankle movement is a real bummer though

That's how I got my Baby Turtles
They were released in a very hard to get accessory pack that was dropped during a Haulathon a couple years ago
Words can't explain how lucky it was for me to find it
Really great accessory pack in general
My rocksteady wouldn't have a helmet without it
Why they release rocksteady without his helmet is beyond me, but I guess he don't wear it all the time in the cartoon
The Helmet is more from the Toy
Hm, I guess he only wears the helmet in season 1 (which is just the first 5 episodes)
He loses the camo pants too
He looks more like the toy, but with a yellow tank instead of black
This is what he looks like in season 2 onward
I guess it was just less expensive to not animate the helmet
More accurately, he looks like this
The image above is much more detailed than he is in the show
As for most of these characters tho, the Toy Design wins
The Toy Designs are just kinda peak
Mutagen man is always my prime example
The toy design is SO much cooler
Baxter's Toy Design is also far superior
Shredder though.... he's an exception lmao
He looks much better in the show, I'll never understand what happened here
Why did they paint eyebrows on his helmet
Why isn't he wearing a shirt
Some people don't like the stance, I do, he's a ninja, that's fine
The toon turtles release is the best version imo

The first movie didn't get any toys back in the day, because Playmates executives who saw an early screening hated it and thought it would kill the franchise
Once the 1st movie made $200 mil against a $20 mil budget, they decided they may have made the wrong decision, so the next 2 movies got figures lmao
