If they had to cut costs, I suppose a little shrinkage isn't too bad, but I would have happily paid extra for a full-size reissue

So one thing, you are comparing images of the new release vs the vintage packaging image. The image from the vintage packaging is not what you got in the box. If you compare to in hand product images you get a very different picture. Scaling wise it almost looks identical. If anything it looks like the circumference of the ball might be a hair smaller, but it's hard to gauge due to the new clips that have been added in. On mine I can tell you that everything looks the same size. Bebop and rocksteady never really fit in those seats, though I do remember shredder fitting a bit better.

Are adults actually mad about this? I’m 43 and had so many turtles as a kid it was crazy. I’ll buy this and put it on my shelf with all my other stuff. Not really a big deal.

Kind of a bummer but I’m not upset. Reissues are a great and affordable way to fill in gaps in our collections. I would think most collectors would know that there would be some differences. For the purpose of being a display piece, this will work perfectly for me and I can put that $100-$200 I would have to drop on an OG towards something else. I personally hope Playmates continues to reissue other vehicles and playsets even if they’re not 1:1 to the originals.

I'm actually not surprised. When I saw the price was only 80 bucks, I was certain they had to be skimping somewhere. I'm actually shocked it's as big as it is.

Maybe the new Technodrome was just in the pool. That could explain why it’s a little bit smaller.

That's disappointing. I'm glad I still have my original. It's not in flawless condition, but it's pretty good.

You need to compare the 'new' technodrome to the actual vintage toy, not the box art. The box art featured the prototype, which was different from the finished toy. The reason Shredder sits lower in his seat on the vintage box photo is because they took his legs off (as they did with Bebop, and you can see his exposed hip 'bones') The stickers etc actually match the vintage toy. So maybe this is a 1-1 scale copy, but they didn't include the eye-clops in the height or something?

It was ugly when it came out and is ugly now just like those original TMNT toys sadly one of them about that time now I wanna look back I'm like why... thank you Neca. Hopefully they do technodrome as well.

Glad I have mine from my 11th birthday. Still complete. What I loved about the technodrome. It can hold all the parts it came with,

All I can say is that it's a miracle that we're getting this in the first place. Is it what I had when I was 4 in 1990...NO

Differences I've noticed if this holds true to the photos:

This is so cool now a lot of kids will get to experience the joy that we did. I have an original Technodrome not complete but I don't care about that I'm glad to play with with my 4-inch scale figures with it and it does wonderfully as a base for them! If I had the money and the Shelf space I would get one of these too because come on it's the Technodrome, and good coverage of this news, sir! 😁

I appreciate this and I will be cancelling my pre-order. I will wait for a comparison video to see if I end up getting it at some point. I still have the original 1990 Technodrome but it's not in the best condition.

Old toys measurement included the eye ball, amazons measurements does not include the eyeball, the eyeball if 2 inches tall.

I think the reason they did that is so no one can use new pieces to complete the old technodrome and scam people claiming it’s the original technodrome.

Still have to see what the packaging looks like. I can't find a single photo of it.

I'm not upset...I have an original complete playset and would just keep the new one sealed and display the box with my collection.

It should be bigger since most of us were smaller when we played with it. Shrinkflation is ruining my childhood!😢

Hey! to see a new technodrome in 2024 is amazing regardless of the size.
