glad to hear there is improvement from the previous turtle figures they've done. This is the first set of figures i've purchased from TLS so in that context, overall these are pretty neat. especially because they are the IDW versions. I wasn't overly impressed by the quality, in terms of what i'd expect from action figures in 2023, but seeing as they are wanting to constantly improve, I'd imagine we'll be seeing better things from them. My main QC issues derive from the functionality of the figure design and choice of material used for certain things. 1. anyone planning to buy these, some of the problems I've had are the the hinge joint on the upper bicep connecting into the butterfly/shoulder is tight and the male pieces of the butterfly piece adhering to inside of the figure are too shallow, so with that combination, when trying to bend his upper arm, the entire arm comes out for my Leo. 2. Be careful with Leo's scabbards - the scabbard on top looks like it's just glued on and any pressure on it will make it snap off. 3. Be careful when placing Leo's katanas in his hands. the katanas are very hard plastic, making them fragile. and the hands are very hard as well and don't allow the katanas to go in easily. be careful where you put the pressure because you can snap the katana at the base of the hilt. Hope this helps! Great review, Wade.

Man that Ralph looks great but once I realized the eye was misprinted on both heads my heart sank

The IDW Shredder is going to be insane!

The additional weapon with Mikey is the “Kusarigama chain”, the additional weapon with Raph are called “Tonfa”, and the additional weapons with Leo are called the “Tanto” and “Wakizashi” 👍🏾

These are actually my current favorite true 6in scale articulated TMNT. Think they fit in perfect with other great 6in lines. Other companies were either too tall or too cartoonish, or stylized.

Man theres so many unique versions of characters and new ones in the idw run... im really hoping they can do this iteration justice

Best review on these figs out there! Thanx man! Really needed to see this before going through on my purchase for them

Dude these look great. I wish I had come up on those with the wash, as I think you're totally right on about it elevating figures that have it, but for now I'm the sucker who's still got the regular ones on pre-order. Thanks for putting this together! Glad Comic Con was a good time. 🤙🎉

Your review sold me on these, had to pick them up. Really looking forward to that IDW shredder they showed off as well!

10:13 I think those short swords are tantos and 15:14 are tonfas Dope review btw, these look like an improvement from their past figures.

With some blue tacky you can use Mikey’s finger point hand to recreate the spin trick scene from the 90s movie!

Oh i also think the standard release of these are going to look great.. mikey seems to translate a lot better color wise at least from the images i seen

My only gripe is mikeys color. I wish he was more green. He kind of really sticks out between them. If he was maybe more green and only slightly blueish it would look better to me. I love them tho don't get me wrong. Just wish he had a different color scheme

Big Bro I don't know if it's the lighting, but they look great on your channel everywhere else I've seen them I didn't like them so kudos to you sir!

6:52 i believe those are where the nunchucks are supposed to be stored in the comics, but the nunchucks are so big they had to put the holsters in the back.

Usagi would be interesting in this style, thanks for the review these look better than I thought

That Ralph's eye is not placed right. They printed onto the mask wrong. Got to be careful with that quality control. Aside from the PS4 game, I am not familiar with the IDW turtles. The unique designs for each turtle interest me. BST AXN making turtles figures that NECA, and Playmates is ignoring is a good idea. Their prices have always been reasonable, but when given a choice between NECA and BST AXN versions, I go with NECA. I may give the figures a wash myself. If they release more IDW characters(Slash, Bebop, Rocksteady, footsoldiers) I may be interested in collecting these.

The loyal subjects Krang Suit is actually pretty nice. Nice details, nice materials, and great accessories. Sadly some of the other designs feel too generic, specially "the Cartoon Style" turtles like the one you have. They have great ideas like selling Bebop and Rocksteady with a Human Head as a pre mutation form or slash with some nice accessories. Yeah, the IDW style looks like their best work out of everything they made.

I'm kind of upset that the paint wash is comic-con exclusive, but I'll take what I can get.

Good review micky looks blue on camera

They look great but man it's disappoint to see that all the close-ups of the heads show paint app QC issues. From far in a display it's fine but I'd definitely notice it when removing them from their packaging.

The Raph and Sai pose he does in the IDW comics is a must, they are big and goofy but in his hand where he palms them just looks so good!! Gotta warm up the hands though. Just got these and they are even more gorgeous in hand aaaand they pose like crazy! The wash is a must on these. Hopefully we get Shredder, Loner Raph, and the Deviations version. It would knock it out of the park beyond belief!! Imagine a Slash figure!! Done!

Appreciate the in-depth look! I didn’t make SDCC but I did order the standard release versions of these guys. I’ll miss out on some of the paint wash but I still think I’ll enjoy the figures either way. Nice video here!

I’m VERY conflicted on this set. I absolutely love the IDW Ninja Turtles and I think they’re the best version ever of the Turtles and their universe (yes, even better than OG Mirage or Last Ronin). And I also think that the paint work on these figures is great! However, I can’t stand Loyal Subjects’ (IMO) dumb 5-inch scale. In theory it should work for the Turtles since they’re supposed to be smaller than adult humans, but the proportions absolutely give away that these are 5-inch figures as opposed to intentionally short 6-inch figures. I also think that this articulation is not only some of the ugliest I’ve ever seen, but it’s also not even all that functional. Overall I genuinely think these are pretty mediocre figures but I still want them because of my affinity for the source material

Got these in the other day and they’re fine. I like them overall but they’re not quite as good as a lot of reviewers have been saying they are imo. I get that’s it’s exciting to finally have IDW turtles in figure form but things like the heavy and inconsistent paint job (heavier wash on some, missing paint in areas, etc) inconsistent joints tolerances (the shoulders are super tight and I’ve found stress marks and chewed up plastic on them from posing and using the butterflies and one or both of the legs tend to be floppy) and inconsistencies in the articulation (double jointed arms and legs but no neck hinge is crazy) hold this set of figures back from being truly amazing. There’s a lot to love about them but I’d argue there’s just as much annoying-bad things here too.

Aw i wanna get one and have fun throwing wash on them all!! Looks good!!!

The exclusives look good but the regular ones, in my opinion, are not that cool. Mikey's color is to hate it or love it haha they can be improved in the articulation but the look is not bad I enjoyed the size comparisons and the pic with the moon in the back was awesome!

These guys are great I swear. I got the regular versions and I know the sdcc washed versions are cool but I already NECA Mirage Turtles with the colored headbands that has the same color

Man, I do hope we'll see these guys for sale at retailers. These look great. Awesome review man

Don’s googles are a reference to Ray’s gear from Ghostbusters. I do wish that he came with a Naginata blade that can slide on top of his staff.

TMNT multiverse shelf is going to look great

😮 oh yeah Been waiting on this review hahah

Bro why no one still put out decent tmnt 2012 figures like I've got the 3 inch ones they're not it and it's impossible to get the revolted ones so why they being ignored???

I hope to see more IDW characters from loyal subjects

man these figures are beautiful such a shame they can't release these properly painted versions at retail.

They seem pretty cool, with so many different versions of these characters every fan can find something they like. However, I ABSOLUTELY dislike the drastically different color on Michaelangelo 😢 it just doesn’t make sense to me. Overall a nice set though. 🐢 💥💪🏽

As this video goes on, I want them more and more. OOOOOOF

My only nitpick is Mikey is too bright. Other than that, THIS is what a live action Ninja Turtles should look like.

Wait till he notices Raphs right eye paint is off center lol

Damn look who learned what idw turtles were finally 💯

I hope they keep improving. I bought their napoleon dynamite figure from the bst line and it was so bad i swore off the line

Raph's eyes are not lined up correctly

You sold me on them. Really great review man.

Do you read IDW? Mikey has some pretty angry serious moments in that lol.

I need these! I wanna make a Diorama for them!

Jesus, i need an alopex figure

Everyone of these I buy just pops all apart when I go to pose it my foot clan, OG turtle and the punk turtles.

Finally. I was really looking forward to your review

Dude if the Arms were pinless I’d grab them all. But the half pinned half pinless thing is pissing me off.

I fear that the IDW shredder is gonna have really bad torso articulation so I really hope they pull through in that aspect

Raphs eyes are just making it so hard to like i hope most figures dont have that default

The unique shapes are definitely a win. They're individuals not robots. I bought them all because of this. Same sculpts with one slight colour change is disrespectful cash grabby.

These figures are awsome!! how much are they?!

Why is Michelangelo blue??

Man did raph have a stronk?

Raphs eyes were messed up. He looks like the one character from goonies that kept yelling "Baby Ruth!" I hope my pre-ordered Raph doesnt have that type of quality issue. I really hope they release Venus and Jennika. Bringing out more heads upgrades would be nice too

you can easily paint wash the normal ones. cost like 8 bucks

Where do u find these

if you look at the old one, it looks like they took a 3D scan of the SHF turtles and just made them smaller. all the sculpt were nearly identical. glad they moved away from that.

Are you going to get Play Mates TMNT orginal movie figuures?

Bummer Loyal Subjects didn't put the same effort on their Buffy figs. Because both the Buffy & Angel figs they made looks whack.

Ok let’s be honest for a second and let’s point out the obvious here. Articulation 3/10 Quality 7/10. Loose joints, poor articulation, quality control is not in sight.

Are they for playing or poses cause I need mikey

You can’t really compare the two. One set is clearly now cartoonish. Also they have elbow pads which hinder articulation whereas the others don’t.

Really cool 👍

I have many tmnt figs and i need these too, where can i find them?

Those figures are so good 😂

Leonardo is the superior ninja turtle!!!

I love them but I just think Mikey is a tad too bright, works in the comic but as a set he stands out way too much for me. Still will grab these though, might get the black and white ones.

Ok I saw Leo and preorder him as soon as I could. Then I learned it was by that company and it scared me. I also have that raph and he seemed cheap and can't hold his weapons. Lost them they felt flimsy.

The figures are cheaply made. I purchased the box sets of the comic style. Two turtles and two foot soldiers in one box and the other two turtles with shredder and a “leader for soldier” in the other. But right out the box the arm joint snapped on the foot soldier. All the other figures are super delicate and the joints are tight. I’m afraid to pose any of them.

I prefer the retail non-black washed versions. The black wash in these are so spotty and random. Really sloppy. Just one look at Mikey’s snout.

Yeah Ralph miss printed eyes kept bothering me watching the video

Almost perfect for me...but that color on Mikey .....uuuuggghh whhyyy

Eyy

The wash is a bit too much IMO. Reminds me of customs where people go way too heavy on the dark wash

Raph uses tonfas.

why is mikey blue

Why is Michaelangelo blue?

i think Loyal Subjects is not very good in applying wash, it looks uneven

(pin this comment) im going to let all of you know mikeys NOT blue, hes teal, im tired of everyone saying hes blue!!!

is it just me or do mike look blue? or atleast tooo blue xD?

I wish Mikey’s skin color wasn’t that ugly turquoise and looked more like the olive green of his bros. Otherwise, fantastic set. Probably my 3rd favorite behind Neca 2008 mirage style TMNT and Mezco’s.

Mikey is like blue thats weird for sure not digging that at all

Leonardo is best turtle just to let you know.

Excellent review. Not a fan of the IDW turtle designs especially the odd faces. Don’t care for when characters that are proven popular for years & they change them for the sake of change. Sure, you get unique sculpts for each one but that’s not true TMNT. Mikey’s coloring is plain bad, that teal color isn’t working. On the plus side, it’s great that this toy company is improving when certain other bigger companies are slacking.

That Mikey though..... 🟦😬

I don't like there faces on the figures

These figs look super mid imo

these aren't good
