Photo-A-Day #4032
I received two of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vehicles to play with and review. In this post is my honest opinion as well as a video of my thoughts and demonstrations of the figures and vehicles.
The two vehicles that I received were Leonardo’s Street Speeder with Ninja-Flip Action and Bebops Warthog Trike. Both are really well done. I am partial to Bebops trike because he sits much better on it and the trike is way cooler than the sport bike that Leo has, in my opinion. You can see them both in action in the video below. After that I have some additional images.
Here is the official description of the vehicles
Each of the movie-inspired Cycles includes an exclusive action figure and unique ninja action. Cycles that feature ninja-flip action, where the figure will flip over the handlebars into battle position, include the Street Speeder with exclusive Leonardo, and the Ragin’ Racer with exclusive Raphael. Cycles that feature spring-powered missiles include the Warthog Trike with exclusive Bebop, Rhino Chopper with exclusive Rocksteady, and Polaris Slingshot with exclusive Michelangelo.
Overall the exclusive Leonardo is a nice figure. I would like to be able to take off the helmet and move his head more. You cannot lift his head up that high. The figure does look good, though. The sheaths for the katanas are nice and the figure is very poseable.
The ninja-flip action works pretty well. Of the many flips that I did with the toy, almost every time Leonardo landed on his feet.
I am loving the designs for Bebop and Rocksteady. They look incredible in the new movie. I’m excited because this is the first time that these characters will be appearing in a live action movie.
As I stated earlier I like that Bebop can sit on the Warthog Trike. He looks like a badass biker with his brain bucket helmet and the crowbar and chain with a lock on it as his weapons. I also think that he’s going to be a funny character as well.
