  1. "Do you have any idea how much the rent for a laboratory in New York costs? 300 bucks is NOTHING!" said a member of the scientific community from New York. Last tuesday, on "Turtle tuesday", NECA put their new sewer diorama up for pre-order: Donatello's laboratory. The price point ($299.99) led to a lot of complaints from the toy community (so basically, a regular day). One community that didn't have an issue with it is the scientific community, who has been victim of the high prices of rental of laboratories in New York City for years. ToyFarce investigated... "When a colleague told me that we could get a fully equipped lab for under $300, I thought he was going mad!" said Professor Stockman (no relation). "The price of a lab is New York is outrageous! It's at least 20 times that price, and you only rent it for a few days! If you can get a fully equipped laboratory for $299.99, go for it! That's a steal!" Another professor (Professor Perry, no relation either) told us that it was also a great experiment, showing to toy collectors how expensive laboratory space and equipment can cost. "It's a good laboratory, even! Sure, it could use a bit more laboratory glassware, as there are no beakers or flasks present on the pictures, but the space only should cost way more than that! I'm also 98% sure it doesn't really follow any laboratory safety regulations, but at that price, who cares?" "You see, one side has a lot of nice painted details on the lab equipment, while the other side doesn't. Isn't it fascinating?" Are you getting Donatello's lab? Let us know in the comments! More news at 11:00... Cowabunga, science dudes! *ToyFarce News is parody news for laughs and not meant to be taken seriously!
  2. Variety has revealed that Paramount has officially announced the release date for the sequel to “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.” Directed by Jeff Rowe and produced by Point Grey Pictures, the film is set to premiere in theaters on October 9, 2026.
  3. Game publisher GameMill Entertainment, along with developers Raw Thrills and Cradle Games, revealed the arcade beat ’em up game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam). The game is set to release on April 23 with a price tag of $29.99. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants is an adaptation of the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game that came out in 2017. This version allows up to four players to play together locally, and includes voice actors Seth Green, Sean Astin, Rob Paulsen, and Greg Cipes, lending their voices to the four turtles. The adaptation includes the original game's six stages and 13 boss fights, but the home release also adds three brand-new stages and six additional boss battles. Source: IGN
  4. It's Wednesday, and you know what that means: ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at more TMNT: The Last Ronin figures from NECA. Namely, the figures of Raphael, the Foot Clan's Karai, a Foot Bot and a Synja Patrol Bot. It had been a while since we've had figures from The Last Ronin (previous review here), and all of a sudden, when it rains, it pours! Raphael, Karai and the Foot Bot all came out last month, while the Synja Patrol Bot has been randomly available exclusively at Best Buy for some time, and is now available for pre-order everywhere else. In case you missed it, TMNT: The Last Ronin is an excellent TMNT comic book. Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, the original creators of the TMNT, reunited to give us a great story in a future, battle-ravaged New York City, where the last remaining of the Ninja Turtles seeks justice for his family (Warning: there will be spoilers in this review). The box art is beautiful, and the figures come with a lot of accessories. It's one of my favorite lines to collect at the moment. First off, from the flashback scenes: Raphael is a deceptively awesome figure, a sleeper hit, if you will. He's a bit smaller and looks quite bulky, but that figure can MOVE! He's build like a fridge but can kick butts! He comes with an extra head (screaming), 3 extra pairs of hands, his sais, one arrow (aww...sad) and a katar/ throwing knife (aww...again). This is the version of Raphael from his final showdown in the comic book, and the paint and details on that figure are amazing. Straight out of the comic book pages. One of the best figures of the year (and it came out in January). Karai, one of the leaders of the Foot Clan, is the one who Raphael has his final showdown with, so it makes sense that she came out at the same time. She also comes with an extra screaming head, 5 extra hands, her katana with sheath, and a katar/throwing knife (which she uses on Raphael, so kinda weird that they both come with it, but I get some people might just get Raph). The figure has decent articulation and great head sculpts, but could probably move a bit more since she's a ninja. Now, back to the future (as in not from a flashback scene), the Foot Bot is a great figure, perfect for army building. He comes with 3 extra pairs of hands, a decapitated head, a smashed head, 2 katanas and 2 forearm attachments, to extend his arms. That figure looks great, with tons of details, just like in the comic book. The additional "battle damaged" heads are a great addition, you can have them lying on the floor next to your Last Ronin figure. Finally, the Synja Patrol Bot, also a sleeper hit! It looks great, with lots of lines to make it look like he came right out of the pages of the comic book. He comes with 2 heads, so you can have it as some sort of 'leader' or just 'troop', a damaged head with awesome details (the eye!), 2 extra pairs of hands, a katana with a sheath that can be attached on the bot's back, and a gun. Another great army builder figure, it does make sense to have 2 to have a leader and a troop. Caution: The figure comes with stickers which you can put on the figure to show its rank (depending on the head you use), and the stickers are taped at the bottom of the plastic insert. Be careful not to discard those! This figure looks great and has good articulation. NECA has already revealed the next figures in this line, which are Leonardo, Splinter and a bloody 'First to Fall' edition of Raphael (aaw... that's cruel). They are still available for pre-order on NECA's online store. We've also seen the other turtles at various conventions last year, so they should be available soon. More news at 11:00... "Foolish undisciplined brute!"
  5. Cowabunga, dude! Paramount+ today debuted a teaser for the upcoming original 2D animated series TALES OF THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES. The series is produced by Nickelodeon Animation and Seth Rogen's Point Grey Pictures, who brought audiences last summer's smash-hit Paramount Pictures film, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. TALES OF THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES will premiere this summer exclusively on Paramount+. In addition to the new series, stream all things Turtles on Paramount+. From the universe of the Mutant Mayhem film, the all-new Paramount+ original series explores the adventures of everyone's favorite pizza-loving heroes as they emerge from the sewers onto the streets of NYC. Leo, Raph, Donnie, and Mikey are faced with new threats and team up with old allies to survive both teenage life and villains lurking in the shadows of the Big Apple. Reprising their roles from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, the series features Micah Abbey (Cousins for Life) as Donatello, Shamon Brown Jr. (THE CHI) as Michelangelo, Nicolas Cantu (The Walking Dead: World Beyond) as Leonardo, Brady Noon (Family Switch) as Raphael and Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) as April O'Neil. Additional casting will soon be announced. From Nickelodeon Animation and Point Grey Pictures, TALES OF THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES is executive produced by Chris Yost (The Mandalorian, Thor: Ragnarok) and Alan Wan (Blue Eye Samurai, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles [2012 Series]). Production is overseen for Nickelodeon by Claudia Spinelli, Senior Vice President of Big Kids Animation, and Nikki Price, Director of Development and Executive in Charge of Production.
  6. It's Wednesday, and you know what that means: ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at the Foot Training Keno and Foot Soldier two-pack from TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze by NECA. After the SDCC Exclusive Keno set that came out last year, collectors kept saying not to buy it, because there would 'most certainly, 100% sure' be a normal release of it. Well, here it is! The scooter only turned into a thicc Foot Soldier... Foot Training Keno and Foot Soldier is fun two-pack, one of those that is not indispensable, yet you have to get it if you're a completist (like the upcoming Professor Perry two-pack... Can't wait!). The two-pack comes with the 2 figures, an extra head sculpt and an extra pair of hands for Keno, 2 extra pairs of hands for the Foot Soldier, the little bells from Keno's final test (had to google that one!), an ooze canister and a very nice punching bag accessory. The Keno in foot training gear figures is another really cool figure of Ernie Reyes Jr. The 2 heads that come with this one are different from the ones from the Scooter set, which means we now have 4 heads for Keno. Great details and paint. The punching bag is a nice accessory that can be used for tons of other toy photography. Mine has the 'Teezus' logo printed a bit off on it, but I will survive. The Foot Soldier is the THICC one from the beginning of the movie (if I remember correctly). It's nice to have a slightly different Foot Soldier, so they don't all look the same. This one is a bit taller and has a belly. I guess he didn't train as hard as the other ones... Maybe it's the computer guy, that sits behind a desk a lot? Same articulations as the ones from the previous movies. It's pretty simple, as long as NECA will release figures from the TMNT movies, I will buy them, deep cuts and all. More news at 11:00... Keno, wasn't it? You seem to be the only one worthy of a final test...
  7. He is back and sexier than ever! Earlier this year, Super7 announced a sexy, more modern version of the Rat King as part of their 10th wave of TMNT Ultimates! and toy collectors were quick to complain about it (unheard of, right?). After removing him from the wave and replacing him with another figure, collectors were then mad that they would not get that sexy Rat King figure that they complained about in the first place. Thankfully, the (Rat) King is back! Do you remember when we memed Morbius to death and Sony decided to re-release it in cinemas (for it to fail a second time)? Well, it's a bit like that: In March 2023, Super7 announced the line up of their tenth wave of TMNT Ultimates! action figures, which included a sexier, more modern version of the Rat King (allegedly based on his appearance in the game TMNT: Shredder's Revenge). Fans felt ratty that day (ha!), and decided to complain about it, as it didn't look like the one from their childhood. You see, it was too pretty! In April 2023, Super7 announced that the Rat King would be replaced by an action figure of Karai (which had weirdly been revealed in leaked photos as part of the wave in the first place, which was weird... it was a bit of a mess), which led to collectors doing a complete 180° and say that they actually wanted the Sexy Rat King. "We were just complaining because it's fun! We didn't want it to be cancelled!" said a fan. Fast forward to November 2023, Super7 announced their eleventh wave of TMNT Ultimates!, and lo and behold, a new and improved Rat King will be part of that wave, along with one of his sexy head sculpts for those who want to display him like that (who wouldn't?!). Oh yeah, there's also a Rapper Mike, a Ninja Nomad Leonardo and a Damaged Foot Soldier too as part of that wave. More news at 11:00... It's RATTING time!
  8. It's Wednesday, and you know what that means: ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at the TMNT: The Secret of the Ooze SDCC Exclusive Keno with Scooter set from NECA! Sure, SDCC was a while ago, and we're now closer to NYCC, but Keno had been sitting in my backlog and I totally forgot to take pictures... So a couple of months late, here is Keno with his scooter! The set comes in a gigantic pizza box, filled with a bunch of items that will probably end up in a drawer, à la Loot Crate: the Keno w/Scooter action figure set, a Roy's Greenwich Village keychain, a Roy's Greenwich Village t-shirt, a Roy's Greenwich Village magnet and an employee of the month card of Keno from March 1991. The set was $100 which is a bit much, even if it's fun when you open it the first time, before throwing most of the content in a drawer and forget about it forever (like a lot of Loot Crate items, basically). Keno comes with an extra head, 2 extra pairs of hands, a scooter (duh) along with the pizza box, the part to attach the pizza box to the scooter and a delivery bag, which even contains a mini cardboard pizza box. The only thing missing would have been tiny pizza slices, like the ones that came with the turtles, inside the box to complete it, but I'm nitpicking here. The Keno figure had been long-awaited, with actor Ernie Reyes Jr teasing it for some time and it's finally here! The likeness is pretty great on both head sculpts and it's a fun figure. He has the same outfit as in the first part of the movie, before infiltrating the Foot. The scooter is a pretty cool accessory to have too. This thing can be used in so many other toy photography! Deadpool riding a scooter, Batman riding a scooter... the possibilities are endless! NECA has since revealed another Keno figure, in Foot training gear, that will come in a two-pack with a Foot soldier. More news at 11:00... "Dream on, Dweeb!"
  9. Seth Rogen announced via Twitter than he will be producing a CG-animated reboot of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” movie with Nickelodeon. Rogen announced the film's premiere date as August 11th, 2023 within the Twitter. Variety reports that producing comes from Rogen’s Point Grey Pictures production banner with co-founder Evan Goldberg and president James Weaver. Brendan O’Brien will write the reboot and is script credited with Rogen's “Neighbors” and “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising." Jeff Rowe, who co-directed and wrote the recent Netflix animated movie “The Mitchells vs. the Machines,” will helm the film. Paramount is handling the global distribution for the reboot.
  10. It's Wednesday, and you know what that means: ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at the SDCC Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Samurai turtle 4-pack from NECA. Finally, the 4-pack we always dreamed of! The movie might have been terrible, but the toys are great! Ninja turtles dressed as Samurai, what more could you ask for? (apart from slightly better articulation...). The giant VHS box made its return for the third time, just like the first 2 SDCC movie 4-packs. It also comes with a big sleeve so you can see what's inside. The picture in the front is like the original VHS, but with figures. Shout out to YHS Podcast for getting their quote immortalized on the box! The Samurai turtles come packed with accessories: 4 extra head sculpts (one each, which work with previous figures too), a ton of extra hands, 4 wired soft goods robes, the turtles' weapons (katanas, sais, bo staff and nunchucks), 2 old swords, 4 masks, 3 scepters (ancient, damaged and homemade). The samurai helmets attach to the bandana knots in the back of their heads, which is great to have them stay put. The masks look great, as do the soft goods robes. The details on the figures are amazing. It's a fantastic set to display on your shelf. Comparison pics with the previous movie turtles. More news at 11:00... Cue *Tarzan Boy* from Baltimora... Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

  12. It's Wednesday and you know what that means: ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at the Casey Jones as The Phantom figure from the Universal Monsters x TMNT from NECA. Another fantastic figure from that line, which will continue for a few more, as we learned at the NECA booth at San Diego Comic Con. Casey Jones wears a mask, the Phantom of the Opera wears a mask... another mash up that makes total sense! As usual, the packaging has an awesome illustration by Daniel Horne. I've seen someone online that put all the packaging art together and framed it, and it looked VERY cool. Maybe a print with all the art from the boxes could be a good idea, NECA? (*wink wink*). Casey Jones as the Phantom comes with 2 extra heads (broken mask and skull), 3 extra pairs of hands along another set wearing hockey gloves, a soft goods cloak, and 2 hockey sticks. The soft goods cloak has wires and can be posed nicely. The face with the broken mask has some gnarly details, with an open mouth missing teeth. It's definitely going to be the display one! The red hockey glove arm is a fun touch, this figure has an awesome design. A perfect fusion of the 2 characters. I wonder if Casey Jones can play the organ... The normal mask sculpt also kinda looks like the mask of Mick Thompson from SlipKnot, which is a good thing too! (NECA SlipKnot figures: CONFIRMED? By god, I would get them all in a heartbeat.) The next 2 in that line were revealed at San Diego Comic Con, and they are Leonardo as the Creature from the Black Lagoon, Raphael as the Wolfman. I cannot wait for not only the figures, but also the box art! More news at 11:00... Goongala-hahahaha! MWAHAHAHAHAA!
  13. Last week, tons of toy collectors discovered something that New Yorkers have been knowing all along: The New York City real estate prices are way too darn high! "The prices have been creeping up for a long time, and it has gotten out of hand!" said a long time NY resident. "Some of us can't even afford to rent a room in the sewers!". ToyFarce investigated. Last Thursday, NECA put their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Cartoon) Sewer Lair Living Room diorama up for pre-order on their website. The diorama itself seems to be massive, and according to the many fans that saw it in person at San Diego Comic Con last month, looks pretty amazing. The only issue collectors seem to have with it is the price: $299. The reason for it is unfortunately pretty simple: Living in New York City is really expensive. "The housing market in NYC is incredibly expensive at the moment, and selling a reproduction of the sewer lair, which is a real property, has to match that price." a NECA employee told ToyFarce. "If we priced it too low, it could have had a negative impact on the value of the real place. And that is the price just for one room! There's still the kitchen and Donatello's lab also coming later!" Are you going to pick up the NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Cartoon) Sewer Lair Living Room diorama? Or are you going to try to make your own/ 3D print one that will inevitably collapse under the weight of the street diorama the second you put it on top? Let us know in the comments! You can find all the infos about the NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Cartoon) Sewer Lair Living Room diorama here! More news at 11:00... How about that shelf real estate? I hear there's less and less space!
  14. It's Wednesday and you know what that means: ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at the ninja turtles from the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem animated movie, from Playmates. The turtles are back, baby! (Not that they ever left...). New movie means new merch, and the figures from Playmates are tons of fun. I only picked the 4 brothers (for now...), but I feel like more will join them after I've seen the movie (and as soon as I can find them in Europe...). The new movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, comes out on August 2nd, and is directed by Jeff Rowe and produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (who also co-wrote it). The new computer animated movie has fun designs, and a stacked list of voice actors. The toy line was announced a bit prior to the movie, with a ton of action figures, vehicles and playsets already available. The 4 ninja brothers, Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michaelangelo (in no particular order), come with their respective weapons, a mini turtle and the classic plastic weapons racks that the figures from the late 80s came with. Right in the nostalgia! The figures are between 4.25 and 4.75 inches tall, with Raphael as the tallest and Michaelangelo as the smallest. Decent amount of articulation and accessories, and for $9.99 each, it's really hard to say no! The action figures were designed by Ramirez Studios, founded by toy sculptor extraordinaire Phil Ramirez, who started working at Varner Studios right during the original TMNT craze in the late 80s/early 90s, so getting to do the figures for the new movie kinda feels like coming 'full circle'. Absolutely well deserved too, since Phil has worked on pretty much most of the toys of our childhoods (for 80s/90s kids at least, Playmates, Toybiz, McFarlane Toys,...). Phil has been sharing pictures of the prototypes of the figures on his instagram, for those interested! More news at 11:00... Cowabunga! (I do not even know if they say 'cowabunga' in the new one, but i'm excited!)
  15. Well, Cowabunga, dudes! Between the new movie coming out soon, the 4-pack from Mezco announced in January, the BST AXN IDW figures from the Loyal Subjects, the NECA drops at Target a couple of weeks ago (and on Target website now), the NECA Convention Exclusives pre-sale last week, and the merch from the new movie now flooding our shelves, it's been a very good year for TMNT fans and collectors (very hard on our/their wallets, though). ToyFarce found out the real reason behind the absurd amount of TMNT merch that we can find this day... and it might be SHREDDER?! Shredder, the mortal enemy of the Ninja Turtles, might be the reason why we're seeing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles merch everywhere. Who would have thought? A disgruntled member of the Foot Clan gave ToyFarce the scoop: "Master Shredder's goal is to make everybody hate the Turtles", he said. "Since all his previous attempts have failed and people kept loving them, he is now trying something else. The more turtles are on the market, the more people will start to get bored of them, which will have a bad effect on their morale, and then, Master Shredder and the Foot Clan will be able to defeat them! We will finally dine on Turtle soup!" The only problem is that it seems to have backfired, and people seem to like the 4 brothers even more! "Nooooooooooo!" What TMNT products have you picked up or are you planning to pick up? Let us know in the comments! More news at 11:00... Come face your doom! Join the Foot Clan!
  16. An unfortunate accident happened during the first day of the NECA Convention Exclusives 2023 Pre-Sale, as Nick, a long time collector, sprained his finger on his computer mouse while trying to beat the competition and be the fastest one to check out. ToyFarce investigated... "No pain, no gain, I guess" said Nick. "First, I logged in an hour before to make sure that I would be able to go faster through the checkout process, but NECA ended up changing their whole website right before the end of the countdown, so then, I went into panic mode! When the countdown reached zero, I refreshed, grabbed all the items in my cart, and rushed to check out. Then, I had to enter my email address and address, so I moved my handfrom the mouse to type on the keyboard, and after I entered all the info, and went back to the mouse: BAM! I hit my finger on the side of it, and the mouse flew from the table to the ground. I felt an intense pain on my finger, but then decided to use the touchpad of my laptop with my other hand to complete the checkout! There was nearly an issue with the tshirt size of the Keno set, as my size was already sold out, but I managed to change it in the nick of time." "After all was said and done, my finger kept hurting, so I put some ice on it for a while. It still hurts a bit today, but it should be fine. I'm happy with my haul. I just hope I don't get a scar!" Did you manage to get the items you wanted from the NECA Convention Exclusives 2023 Pre-Sale? More news at 11:00... There's still a chance today! *ToyFarce News is parody news for laughs and not meant to be taken seriously!
  17. This week, NECA will 'drop' some of their San Diego Comic Con exclusive figures on their online store, which include a Melmac Cosmic Con Alf, a Showgirl Greta from Gremlins 2, a Glow in the Dark Creature from the Black Lagoon, a pizza box set of Keno with his scooter from TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze, and a glorious 4 pack of the Samurai Turtles from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. But wait... there's more! First revealed via Toy Anxiety on Youtube, the 4 pack includes all 4 turtles in their Samurai gear from the beloved, fan-favorite third movie, the one where they go back in time to save April after she brought them an antique Japanese egg-timer (which turned out to be a time scepter, obviously). Those 4 turtles might not be the only figure from this movie that we will be able to get, though... Do you remember how, in the movie, we would only see the top half of Splinter, and he's always behind a chair, a counter, a window? Well... ToyFarce is honored to do the exclusive reveal for NECA: Introducing, the NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III Splinter's Top Half! Here are the official pictures for the reveal: No price or release date were provided yet. More news at 11:00... "Yo, dude! Hehehehe" (actual quote from Splinter in TMNT III) *ToyFarce News is parody news for laughs and not meant to be taken seriously!
  18. It's Wednesday, and you know what that means... ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at the Universal Monsters x TMNT action figure of Splinter, dressed as Van Helsing, from NECA. Continuing on the NECA backlog during the Haulathon month, this is the latest entry in the Universal Monsters and TMNT mashup line, which has been one of my favorite lines lately. Splinter does not disappoint either (even if most would have preferred something else than Van Helsing)! As usual with the figures from this line, it comes in a gorgeous art box with a beautiful painting on the front and picture of the figure on the back. Splinter/Van Helsing (Van Splinter?) comes with an extra head (same sculpt but without hat), 4 extra hands, a knife, 3 wooden stakes, a crossbow, 3 normal arrows for the crossbow, one arrow with garlic on it, one arrow with a hook on it and a stand. The knife and the wooden stakes can be stored on the figure on his belt, and the arrows fit in the quiver on his back. It's a pretty fun take on Splinter, which is basically the same figure as the movie Splinter with a leather jacket, glasses and a hat. The articulation is the same as the movie Splinter too, meaning not great, but at least the arms can move well, the tail is bendy and the head can move a bit. The legs have articulations on the knees, ankles and toes (or whatever the rat equivalent of those bones are called), but he might not be able to stand if moved too much. The accessories are fun, the crossbow is quite fragile (nearly broke it when extracting it from the plastic bubble), and it's nice to have a toy that can hold all his accessories (minus extra head and hands). More news at 11:00... So... Is Shredder going to be Dracula, then?
  19. It's Wednesday, and you know what that means... ToyFarce review! This week we're having a look at the TMNT: The Secret of the Ooze VHS 4-pack and Accessory set by NECA, which took its sweet time getting to people outside of the US. NECA is having their Haulathon event this month, and I have a lot of NECA backlog (aka figures to open), so I guess I'll be reviewing NECA products for the next few weeks. The TMNT: The Secret of the Ooze 4-Pack and Accessory set were available exclusively on the NECA website for a limited time (2 weeks) at the end of March 2022, and have started to arrive over the last couple of months. What makes this TMNT: The Secret of the Ooze 4-pack special compared to the 2-packs that can be found in stores is the packaging, which, just like the comic con exclusive packaging of the turtles from the first movie, looks like a giant VHS box. The box has a big sleeve so you can see what's inside. The design of the box is pretty great, with quotes from the Fwoosh or ToyShiz in the back. Even though there is a separate Accessory set, those figures come packed with accessories too, like their weapons (obviously), as well as 8 extra hands, a fire extinguisher, 2 ooze canisters (full and empty), pizza slices (half eaten ones too!), a pizza box, a foam bat and cold cuts nunchucks! The figures themselves are a nice improvement on the ones from the first movie. For a long time, I thought those were the best turtle movie figures EVER, and after seeing those new ones and comparing them side by side, it looks like the more recent one have better proportions, skin tones, etc...than the first movie figures. They match the suits from the second movie, of course, which were also improved from the first one (lighter, allowing more movements for the stunts), but as figures, they really look great. The TMNT: The Secret of the Ooze accessory set is another home run from NECA, with a variety of accessories that are pretty versatile and can be used for displays or toy photography with other figures than the turtles as well. It includes 5 new head sculpts (1 for each + gagged Raphael), a key tar, a suitcase, a hat, a bowl of pop corn, 2 bags of chips, 2 aprons, a double sided broom, a broken ooze canister, a pizza with pizza slices in it, a computer and keyboard (very 90s), a newspaper, a phone from a phone booth, 2 cups of soda, a chocolate bar, 2 brushes and my favorite: the pre-mutation versions of Tokka and Rahzar!

  20. It's that time of the year again: the announcements for the Haulathon haven't been made yet by NECA, yet the end caps at various Target stores are already full of new figures a week early! Yay for street dates! And of course, half of it is already on eBay... So what happened exactly? ToyFarce investigated. As announced on the promo pic, the NECA Haulathon is supposed to start on February 26th in Target stores, and on March 3rd for online and international purchases. New products should drop every Friday. That is, of course, unless your Target has already put everything out before the event started... We sat down with Kyle, a 22 year old Target employee from New Jersey, to ask why they can't just keep the toys in the boxes until the official starting date of the NECA Haulathon event: "Oh, is there an event? Yeah, we don't really care... We get products, we put them on the shelves". Great. NECA Haulathon? More like NECA Haul-@$#-thon! (Yep, that's a joke from last year). More news at 11:00... Hey, at least, the Canuck Curator is back!

  22. It's Wednesday and you know what that means... ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at the Michelangelo as The Mummy figure from the Universal Monsters x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle line by NECA. This figure was available early as part of the Target Fall Geekout event and will be released everywhere else later. Michelangelo is the third turtle from that line to get the Universal Monsters makeover, after Raphael and Leonardo. The very first impression, after being spoiled with HUGE figures for Raphael and Leonardo, is that this one is definitely on the smaller side. The box has a 'normal' size compared to the previous 2 (or same size as April's box). The box art is gorgeous, as usual, and might be my favorite of the 4 released figures. Michelangelo comes with an additional head sculpt (more on that later), 2 extra pairs of hands, a bendable cobra, 2 Ankh nunchucks and extra pieces of bandage to hang on him. The figure is definitely smaller than the other previously released turtles, but what he lacks in size, he has in details. The details on that figure are great, just like the 3 previous figures from that line. He has Egyptian hieroglyphs on his shell, and extra bandages to add on his arms. The second headsculpt is a fantastic addition, as it is an homage to the rotting Leonardo mask from the third movie, TMNT III from 1993, that popped up in some auction a few years ago, with the same dead eyes and teeth. The next ones in that line should be Splinter as Van Helsing, Donatello as the Invisible Man and Casey Jones as the Phantom of the Opera. More news at 11:00... Walk like an Egyptian turtle...
  23. It's Wednesday and you know what that means... ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at the Leonardo as The Hunchback figure from the Universal Monsters x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle line by NECA. This figure was available early as part of the Target Fall Geekout event and will be released everywhere else later. When it was announced, I didn't have much expectations for that one, actually. Leonardo is a cool turtle, but the Hunchback? Why the Hunchback when there are perfectly fine other monsters, like Dracula, the Werewolf, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, etc... still available?! Well, it turns out that, once you have it in hand, it's a pretty amazing figure! The box for this one is HUGE! I should have taken a pic next to the other boxes. It's taller and way deeper than the other Universal Monsters x TMNT figures. That big shell of his does take a lot of space! Leonardo as The Hunchback comes with 3 extra pairs of hands, a skull, a brain in a jar, a pair of shovels, a bone, his katanas, and fire effects for the katanas (that's new!). The details on the figure are perfect in their creepiness (he has spiders crawling all over, etc) and the awesome feature of that one is that his shell opens to reveal... a lot of storage space! Remember, when we were kids, and we could store the extra weapons of our turtles inside their shells? It's the same concept, but gloomier. First, there is a huge lock on the side, and once open, you can see a couple of shelves (to display the skull and the brain jars, with pegs for them to be secure), you can put the katanas through the shell (ouch!), and it keeps the shovels and bones in place on the other side. That figure has great sculpt and details, and I ended up preferring it to the Raphael as Frankenstein, even though I had no expectation for it to be that good. April O'Neil as the Bride of Frankenstein and Michaelangelo as the Mummy were also part of the Target Fall Geekout event, and will be the next 2 reviews, as part of the October Spooky month theme. Boo! More news at 11:00... Cowabungaaaaaargh!
  24. It's Wednesday, and you know what that means... ToyFarce reviews! This week, we're having a look at the 4 main turtles from the Super7 Ultimates! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line. When the first few waves were announced, I skipped on them since there was only one turtle per wave, and wanted to wait to see how they were in-hand. After a few waves were announced, they started to come out and then, the secondary market prices started to creep up, and I just made my peace with the fact that I missed out on those. I thought I can't really get into a line if I don't have the main characters, right? Thankfully, last summer, Super7 announced that they would sell all 4 turtles as a bundle, with a re-issue of the first one that came out (Raphael). So... I got them! First things first, the packaging. Super7 always does an excellent job with the packaging and the unboxing experience. Each comes with its own shipper boxes, and a nice sleeve for that 'deluxe' effect. The boxes have an amazing design, where you can see the figure with all its accessories through a window (remember those?). Raphael, who used to be my favorite growing up (I lost mine in a river as a kid, so there's some trauma involved). That figure comes packed with accessories: a new and improved head, 8 extra hands, extra sais (the figure already had some on his belt, but there were additional ones), communicators (open and closed), a slice of pizza and the same 'weapon rack' that the original figures from 1988 came out with (along with those same weapons "painted and ready to use!"). Great nostalgia trick! (Can you imagine if today's collector reviewed the original figures? "What? No thigh swivel? No biceps swivel? Complete absence of ab-crunch! The head is soft, this is BS!" Thank god those came out when we were children...). Leonardo was in the second wave of figures, and comes with the same amount of accessories, except that he has katanas instead of sais (duh!), and has one less pair of hands. The articulation on those figures is pretty great, and they really are a love letter to the old ones, all while being a huge improvement/modern version at the same time. Michaelangelo, from wave 3, comes with similar accessories as the other ones, except he has a whole pizza box instead of just one slice, and a grappling hook instead of communicators. He also comes with 2 version of his nunchukus: either all plastic and straight, or with actual chains. Last but not least, the best turtle, Donatello, from wave 4. Donnie comes with the same plethora of accessories, with 2 bo staffs (in case he loses one?). And that finally completes the set of our 4 favorite turtles. Super7 did a great job at making at making those figures look just like the old ones, while being up to modern standards. The old head sculpts are spot on, and the newer versions are definitely nice to look at (Raphael being the best one of the 4, with a bit more details). $45 per figure is definitely not great, but the argument of Super7 being a smaller company and needing to have slightly higher prices also makes sense (plus, it beats paying triple on ebay). Still, I'm happy with them. I don't think I will go all-in on the line, but I do think i might have to go back and look for a couple of them... I hear Bebop and Rocksteady are awesome figures. What did you think of the Super7 Ultimates! TMNT line? Which one is your favorite? Let us know in the comments! More news at 11:00... Radical!
