Playmates Toys has sent me some great new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys. I will be doing some reviews in the coming week. Andrew and I are working on one with the new Babble Heads. These are hilarious toys. Andrew loves them. I had some fun with them, too. They also sent me the new TMNT Shadow Ninjas. These are really cool looking toys. I love the stylized look and how big they are. I am looking for some great spots to photograph them.
Today was my sister’s birthday. We went over to see my mom and my sister and her daughter. I picked the kids up from school and we had a great time at lunch and enjoying cupcakes together. The kids loved spending time with their Auntie, cousin and Mem.
I received a set of the four turtle brothers from the new Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series from Playmates Toys. They sent them to my for free to play with and review. Opinions are my own.
Off the bat I am happy to see that Playmates Toys is still pricing their figures under $10 each. When I see other toy companies charging more for less it is frustrating. The Playmates figures have been consistently under $10 and they continue to improve with time. This latest set has many points of articulation and details. With each new iteration of the turtles there are more and more changes to make them unique. The first turtles toys back in the late 80’s and 90’s had four turtles that were almost exactly the same save for the colors of their masks and their weapons, oh and the letters on their belts. Granted the only thing that would differentiate the turtles in the comics was their weapons and personalities. The books were black and white.
