Our most recent batch of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys were of the Half-Shell variety. We received three Half-Shell Heroes toys to play with and review. These were some toys that I was very excited to add to our collection and Andrew was excited for something new to play with. The toys that we received were a 2-pack of new villains, Bebop and Rocksteady. We also received a bath toy, the Dive Boat with Diver Donnie and one toy that we already had which was the Raphael figure on a minibike. I made a video of the unboxing of these toys which you can see below.
I’ve been picking up these Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Half-Shell Heroes figures ever since they first came out. I’ve made sure to get each two pack as it is released and that is why I was so excited to see Rocksteady and Bebop in my shipment because I’ve not seen them in stores. I don’t remember even seeing them at Toy Fair. The figures look great too. There is just the right amount of cute and menace to make these some of the top bad guys in your collections.
I mentioned in the video that we already had the mminibike and Raph. I am pretty sure that I came home from Time to Play with that toy. It was one of the few that I got from that trip. The minibike is a nice vehicle for all of the turtles to use. I makes sense that it comes with a Raphael figure. In the TMNT movie from 2007 Raphael rode a motorcycle to patrol the city. Raph is the character most likely to ride a motorcycle.
Before I was asked to review this latest batch of Half-Shell Heroes today I saw the Dive Boat with Diver Donnie in the store and I knew I wanted it. I love Donatello as a character and I like that the boat floats. Andrew still takes tubs and we have a big clawfoot one that is great for bath toys. Playing with this boat in the tub will be fun, I hope. We haven’t had a chance to play with it in the tub yet. But it floats and it also has wheels. Andrew was shocked to hear that this floats.
We were pretty excited to receive these toys and our Half-Shell Heroes collection continues to grow with even more cool figures.
