  • A possible explanation to the "two Bo-staff" problem is that Donatello's bo-staff was broken on occasion in the cartoon, being made of wood rather than metal; hence he carries a spare.

  • Discoloration? Don't all of the soft ones have that skintone?

  • you high bro?

  • i had all four then one day in school someone took my raph one :(

  • can i have your 2003 toys i'm nice

  • I grew up with the 80's show at first I didn't like the new 2003 show because I was like wtf no Bebop Rocksteady, ect. I got into it and I'd say the newer show is far superior to the old show. Its also cool that it is very similar to the comics and they adapted many issues and stories. That made me start collecting the original comics I have a good appreciation for the new show.

    The old one is good for nostalgic and has the best intro/theme song of any cartoon ever :)

  • One should never drink to the point of becoming intoxicated (drunk) What people don't realize is that once you're drunk, you no longer have control over yourself and don't remember anything from the hours that you've been drunk unless it's been recorded. Drug is a poison, you drink/take enough of it, it will kill you, just like this girl who drank 15 shots of beer, they found her dead the next morning,

  • Good review considering you were a bit drunk. I personally much prefer the old vintage Turtles figures compared to the new ones.

  • The 2003 ones were the ones i grew up on. Im 13 now so, yeah. I have lots of memories.

  • I love this video. I just recently got me an old 1991 Mutations Leo. the ones that got from a normal turtle to the mutant turtle after years of not having any.

  • I love this video. I just recently got me an old 1991 Mutations Leo. the ones that got from a normal turtle to the mutant turtle.

  • Dude I think in an episode or two Donny had 2 staffs. Just like the pantsless Batman from the old Blue cape and Cowl show!!! XD

  • i loved the old ones i´ve got all but now i lost my figures

  • You should have just let the originals fight their clones from the future.

  • @DonnyRedNr1 thats not a bad idea. Im working on a script like that involving the new ghostbusters figures and "The Real Ghostbusters" . The movie ghostbusters will be trapped in the real ghostbusters universe and they have to come together to set things right.

  • i like the 2003 show better than the old one, but i do love the f episodes of the old one untile they got stupid and didn't stick to the roots of the comic, while the 2003 one was right on the dot on the comic the only thing they change was when they made shredder at one point a alien i was kind of mad about but it grew on me so i'm okay with it , they other shows like the one they went into the future was stupid but the other back to the sewer as okay but the 2003 one was by far the best!

  • the 1st 5 episodes of the cartoon came out in 1987 so the show terchnically came out in 1987

  • i think i had the old raphael as a kid, great times lol !

  • @volta440X

    I definitely had Raph, too. Such a great action figure!!!

  • the 1988 is more cute looking, while the 03 looks more action figurish

    i like the 1988 more

  • i remember owning the old figures

  • Cool man i have this Donatelo to but it's has no arm any more =)))

  • You should have an updated, individual character reviews

  • i have the original comic with Shredder. the comics are way better than the kid adapts we grew up with, now that i'm old enough to appreciate them more

  • Ihave all the old ones from when i was a lil kid, born in 1982.

    I used to love those guge veins and how muscly they were

  • @318SIDAVE They sure like to make toys muscular don't they? Especially nowadays...

  • I say they are both awesome

  • @Getthecrapouttahere thats not 100% true there was a 4 episode pilot based off the mirage comic, that came BEFORE the toys, Its on tmnt season 4 or 5, and Larid talks about it during the comentary on it, and also mentions on how pissed he was when he saw the cartoon.

  • Your Raphael figure is actually the 2nd release of the figures.

  • you should always buy at least 3 copies. One to sell, one to open, keep.

  • The 1988 toys are better because they have a simular design of themselves from the 1984 TMNT comic books.

  • i love the 80's better- identity belts!

  • I have all of those!!!

  • i never even knew of the squishy heads, i had the hard head versions of those though, and i had the rubbery limbs and heads movie figures which were squishy, i had lots of the old school stuff

  • The first scene from the 2003 cartoon is exact dialogue from the first volume of the comics.

  • i like both these action figures but they both fall flat on thier face compared to the neca turtles

  • Ralph was always hardheaded.

  • the thing i didn't like about the old school ones was that their weapons were orange?? and mikey's chucks breaks, i had all of the school back in the day

  • i have the WHOLE collection. down to shredder, april, splinter, krang, footsoldiers, casey jones all but rat king. but yeah the originals are the best.

  • You just can't beat the classics.

  • I like how the 1988 turtles are all different shades of green

  • the 1988 ninja turtles have eyes that weren't covered but the 2003 ones had covered their eyes,so y can't u see the 1988 figures eyes?

  • I always had the hardest time trying to fit Mike's nunchucks in the loops on the back of his belt.

  • The figures of the turtles came before the cartoon. The first set of figures came out in 1988, and the cartoon came out in 1989. Other wise, decent review, turtle toys freakin ROCK.

  • Thats not annoying background music... thats some classic nes ninja turtles bgm!!!

  • I liked the songs you used...from TMNT 1 Nes Game. That was cool bcause you don´t used the classic song. Great :D

  • I STILL HAVE THE 88 LEO!

    I THINK HIS ARM BROKE OFF THOUGH...

    HAHA

  • YEAH!

  • The leo figure was always my favorite back in the day. It went where I went.

  • Uhhhhhhh........you can buy 1980 TMNT stuff on the Toys R Us website. Just to let you know.

  • I'm punching my self in the face because I could of bought the old ninja turtles for one doller but I did'nt buy them

  • @thespartonmaster11 *facepalm* we've all been there man. if only I could use a time machine to go to the past...

  • dude check out the TMNT NECA figures! Based off original 1984 black & white mirage comics. Which were very dark and serious! (Abit like dark knight returns and many ofda 80s dark graphic novels at the time)

    The 2003 cartoon & da 1st live action movie are both based of da classic comic, hence both are more dark and serious and both 1st movie and 03 cartoon had alot of similarities. The 87 cartoon was a shw aim strictly for kids to sell toys, hence it didn't keep 2da the comic roots too well

  • damn, i had some old ones, got em for like 50cents each when i was only about 4 or 5 maybe..from a thrift shop :]

    I need to find em

  • these are awesome i grew up watching the 2003 series but i still like the 1988 TMNT 2 anyways i love all the tmnt no matter what year

  • @killa2514

    I know can't we all get along I notice most of the 03 fans can appreciate the 87 cartoon despite it being nothing like the comics. But he 87 fan completely slate the 03 series despite in being more comic book loyal..... oh the irony. The 03 fans seen to be more open minded, despite being in the current gen. I'm an 80s gen but I still like the 03 show just as much as the 87. Maybe abit more due to the faithfulness tot he comics. :)

    Peace!

  • I own the 1988 series, i have about 18 figures all boxed!

  • I had the squishy head ones too in the 80's... damn olny thing I was missing was the turtle sewer set.

  • you got it backwards bud. squishy heads came first. then the hard heads.

  • @EbayFigureReviews777 yup my dog I had when I was a kid ate donatellos one day.

  • @EbayFigureReviews777 yup I had all four back in the day with shredder and bebop. Def squishy heads. I remember picking them out in target when we used to go all the time back in the day. I'd get a new fig every time.

  • @EbayFigureReviews777 what the fuck! you spent so much time speaking about the old turttles and then you just put "sorry i dont have time for mike's review" what a fraud dude! damn what is wrong with these fanboys!....

  • I think both series' have their place - I like both.styles.

    Similar to the 1982/83 & 2002/2003 series of Masters of the Universe.

  • @Luigi84289 yup a lot more to be collected on the 80's you're one lucky kid if you'll get the complete heroes and villain collection plus the vehicles!

  • @Luigi84289 its not a compettition, just be happy that there are ninja turtles today, i actually watched the 2003 series, it's not that bad

  • @supersaiyansai This is a vs video dude I never said the 03 figures were horrible they are good figures but the 88 ones are perfection with the veins and they are better proportioned, look more real.

  • @Luigi84289 this isn't a vs, just a comparison of the toys

  • Comment removed

  • Use a nail clipper for the twist ties. :D

  • 1988 kicked this decades ass!!!

  • i had the same leo and don back in the day but damn i can't remeber the squeshy heads...

  • @pjdr

    no it doesn't the 03 is based of da original 84 black & white comic book of tmnt. The comics were dark & savage. Hence the new show is darker & the original comic book creator is executive producer of da 03 show. The creators were not involved in the 87 cartoon, hence it was nothing like da comics.

    So to disrespect da new series is to disrespect the creators of TMNT.

    No 1 knows of the mirage comics they all think TMNT started as an 87 cartoon, when it started as an 84 a dark adult comic.

  • 06:44 you know you sound like an old man lol but i feel you on that tho casue al toys got the damned theft deterrent twist ties that take like ten years to untie lol!!! luviin the TMNT 8bit bg music...lol takes me back....

  • The figures came frist bro. you can find a video of Peter Laird talking about it somewhere here on youtube. I forget he name of it. maybe tmnt history or something.

  • maybe the white paint is foam coming out of his mouth because he is angry. >:( jk

  • Did you hear about the new TMNT movie called Turtles Forever that has both 1988 and 2003 turtles staring in it?

  • yes, i missed it when it aired. is it somewhere on youtube yet? I'll have to go check.

  • please =) thanks

  • Yes it is on youtube now. = ]

  • Yeah, I watched it. I have alot of mixed feelings about it.

  • I think the movie was great. = )

  • im guessing your a 2k3 fan then.

  • Yeah.. because they follow the comics but I know alot of things about the TMNT1987 cartoon show. Yes I know they made them weak and too goofy in the movie..

  • exaclty........I was really disapointed 2k3 shredder hit 89' shredder twice and got away with it. and just 89 shredder didnt really do much of anything villian wise. I mean the first season of tmnt, shredder WAS pretty villianouse. I also almost wanted to cry when i saw krang but punched and tossed around like a rag doll to =( freakin stupid. and i NEVER liked the animation of the 2k3 turtles

  • I loves the 89 Shredder! He cracks me up lolz. But I always look at him as a spoof villian rather then a real villian. I mean his plans are most of the time silly lolz. I think as him as the dad, Krang as the mother, and Bebop and Rocksteady as the retarted babys. =P

    The 2k3 shredder was a bitch.. I Wanted that stupid ass Ultrom thing to die already!

    In general I like both Ninja Turtles show.

    Fast forward series was shit though..

  • If you watch the first couple episodes of the old tmnt, shredder was pretty diabolical/mean/evil. its too bad he didnt keep that image thruout the series. btw,,have you seen my tmnt stop motion???? check out my other channel. "legendofmetal777"

  • Yes I remember watching him being evil but it's just funny how he became more of a spoof villain.. I remember there was an alien villain..who was that again..Anyways I remember him being a bigger threat for the turtles then Shredder (Which he's still better then the alien villain).

    Oks I'll go check it out right now.

  • yea 2k3 shredder was like.."totally pschyo evil" to the point wher eu were like "this dude needs to die!!"

  • @EbayFigureReviews777

    I'm a fan of both, but cause I love the original comics I perfer the 03 series.

    I understand the 87 series were exgrated in their goofiness in turtles forver. But it's wat them then unique from the other ones.

    peeps complain the 03 series too dark and different from the 87 show despite it was trying to be faithful to the 84 comics. but also complain when the 87 in TF movie is too goofy. Well wat u do want?

  • @TheBboyplayer08

    personally I thought the movie was fantastic tribute to both series.

    Da 2 shredders interactions were 2 be expected & funny.

    I mean da 87 shredder is known to be a comedic villian he was only ever threatening in the 1st Season of the 87 tmnt. While 03 shredder who is much more like is comic counterpart is a savage! So the abuse 87 shredder took was funny in a"aw I feel sorry for him" kinda way! Though it was funny hw da most dark sinister comic shredder was beaten by trashcans!

  • @TheBboyplayer08

    So I dunt understadn y people say the 87 tmnt were weak in the movie? They beat the original dark shredder with trash 4godsake. Isn't that enough?! :D

    The original comics r my fav. I didnt complain when da comicbook shredder was beaten by trash I thought it was all in gd fun!

    Anova eg wud be batman. Romero joker v ledger joker & u complain when ledger joker knifes romero in the gut... wat u expect they are completely different takes of the same character! 1 dark & 1 fun LOL! :D

  • @Dragzilla66

    I agree with u man, but I just think it's the 80s fans being bias and worshipping their show like it's a god.

    87 fanboys complain about the 03 show being too dark, but then complain when Turtles forver portray the 87 turtles as goofy? I know they exgrated, but wth u want? I thought the interactions were realistic and believable.

    My main point 87 turtles beat 84comic shredder with trashcans.... how are they weak? I luv 84 dark shredder u don't see me complaing dey made him weak!

  • @TheBboyplayer08 They killed the 84 Dark shredder so fast because he died in the first comic book.

  • @Dragzilla66

    I know that mate. I was just making a point. That some of these fans of the old show are just finding things to complain about in Turtles Forever.

    I was using the example, that i wud've like to see more 84 shredder, but the fact he had so little screen time and was beaten in a humilating way. I cud complain about that, but I didn't! In fact I found it quite funny & ironic da most sinister shredder was beaten so quick. Despite I really wanted to see him fight.

  • @TheBboyplayer08

    I guess the point was trying to make is. That peeps complain the 87 turtle portrayed as weaklings.

    Then me being a 84 comic fan shouldn't I complain about the 84 shredder being portrayed unfairly due to be beaten by trash...?

    I cud but I choose not to let it bother me, coz it was a great movie & I saw the funny side to it. I wish these 87 fans wud stop being so damn uptight about the 87 show. I grew up wiv it too u know.

    I guess it's down to how open someones mind is.

    Peace

  • before I did this review I watched the first two seasons to research a little bit. and then agian afterwards. turns out the no tape on his boe was just a paint glitch where they forgot to paint it a couple times. and yes I belive it was season 3 is where the foot clan logo was changed to green on the foot soldiers heads

  • lol! Mikey has dynamite instead of nunchucks. LMAO!!!!

    Awesome collection i need to get my hands on them again.

  • donde pueso conceguir las tortugas del año 2003?

  • is wave 3 of the 25 anniversary out yet?

    has anybody seen it anywhere?

  • oh god.. I had the set in mint condition and gave them to a op shop like 10 years ago.. DOHHHH

    I wish I thought about something like that.. knowing even if I didnt sell them I could have just had them sitting around as figurines

    grrr :(

  • nice dude ;D

    i think it is more nostalgia over the old ones :D

    both theire both cool :D

  • @gaffelnskje

    I agree 100% wiv u man :)

    I think most people perfer the old ones out of nostaglia and don't know really know the origins of TMNT & use the 87 show as source material when in fact it's as far from the source as one can get.

    I grew up with the 87 show as a kid, but as an adult I perfer the 03 show for it's more true 2 the original vision of TMNT and it's creators.

  • @TheBboyplayer08

    And the way I see it u shouldn't compare them it's like comparing different batman's from different eras.

    84 original TMNT comics are like the dark original Batman comics

    87 show is like the 60s Adam West Batman

    03 show is like the 90s Batman Animated series

    They are different for contextual reasons... u just wouldn't compare them.. I wish people would see that and stop being so damn bias.

    I can see that and I 'm so nostaglic to a point as I hate any music before mid 90s

  • @TheBboyplayer08

    good point man ;D i dont know how old you are,, but i am born in 86, so i have grown up with TMNT.. i loved em,, but stupid as i was, i destroyd my TMNT figures,, blew them up with fire crackers... i had most of them : ( dont ask why,..

    but now i regrett it strongley,, i wish that i could go back and stopp my self from doing it. i will try to collect them again.. :D got any good suggestions on where i can take a look? except ebay?

  • Can I please have the NEW leonardo?

  • I could not hear what you were saying very clearly due to that irritating music in the background, otherwise it was nice to see a comparison between these two versions of the turtles.

  • sorry =( this was one of my first few vids. I know have 63 reviews now. If you watch my first vid compared to my latest. its a pretty big differance lol. as I have my own "format" now you could say. the annoying music was from the first TMNT game on the NES and there might have been a track from the 2nd nes game as well. sorry =(

  • @rodster6 really I think because he was drunk lol

  • @rodster6

    That song is the music from the first TMNT game for the NES, I'm glad the author put it in the background.

  • I still prefer the original 80's!!!

  • Dude...you got an awesome deal off Ebay for them Soft head turtles!!! The seller must've been a sucker!!! You should check out the new Toys r'US Re-release of the Turtle VAn....it's PERFECT!!!! An Exact van of the 80's plus same exact retro box!!!

  • the old school better

  • Those are really cool figures. I see the problem with the squishy heads having different color from the body though. Donnatello looks almost sea sick.

    But I think they're cool squishy. It makes them look more realistic.

  • squishy squishy lol

  • I Think I like the 2003 series turtles and figures alot better

  • i love the 2003 ninja turtles but ive always been trying to get leo in that exact box

  • dude you're so drunk! this is hilarious! cool review and awesome figures! tmnt rocks!

  • hehe,,yeah I learned my lesson.and I dont drink and review anymore lol,,first and last time.

  • I hear you man. But you should review TMNT 2003 Shredder and Hun !! I can't find any Shredder or Hun reviews ! keep up the good work, I like your style!

  • you should do all your turtles reviews drunk. god knows how many time's give went on angry Turtles figures rants. I doubt there's been a time when i've been drunk that i havent went on a rant about Donatello's skin color.

  • lol, I think my viewers like my reviews now which are faster paced and more to the point. I try to save my personal rants and oppinions for the end now so the main video doesnt drag on or have people loose patiance and interest.

  • seriously though, major props. im not usually a fan of any kind of video reviews on the net, but there's nothing i like more than passion, knowledge and good production in video reviews. i've just been watching alot of ur videos and there very entertaining and informative. keep up the good work.

  • This is so cool, I still have mine somewhere in my parents loft although they no longer have the accessories :( plus they have the hard heads, i also got raph in a space suit including the big silver sword. Plus the Turtle Blimp fully working and Turtle Copter with punching arms :D

  • which version blimp do you have? version 1? (all green) or the 2nd version which looks more like the cartoon? those blimps espeically the 2nd one are freakin super costly on ebay.ive been trying to get one for soooo long now. but i keep getting outbid and can just not afford it.

  • looking at the pics on ebay im sure its the 2nd one, may gonna get the it out later and have a look at it, think its missing one of its wings though adn the bombs but can buy them pretty cheap by the looks of it???

  • bombs are between $2-$5.00

  • Great review mate. Im 27 now so as u can guess i grew up having the originals too altho mine was hard heads. However back in the days i know loads of kids who broke Mikey's chucks they was poorly made soo flimsey whenever i played with mine i never used to play with the chucks for Mikey cos i didnt wanna break them lol. Wish i'd of kept them now but i got rid of all my figures back in my early teens.. bad times :( can u remember original Casey Jones all his bats was green whats with that? lol

  • I love how you used the music from the original NES game for this video! :D

  • I still have my Turtles figures from when they first came out,they are in good condition and with hard heads.Donatello dont have his Bo staff tho,Leos Katanas are bent,Raph misses a Sai and Mickeys,like yours, have a broken Nunchucku :/ The figures from the days are the real deal, the new ones looks retarded.

    Nice video btw, take good care of them ;)

  • My mom got us Leonardo,Donatello,and Rapheal. My cousin got Michaelangelo in 1999 from the mall. They still sold the old ones! In 2003 we upgraded to the new ones and became more obsessed. The 2003 turtles were $4.99.

  • WISH I STILL HAD MINE

  • its too bad people are buying these vintage figures from ebay with them releasing them for the tmnt 25th for like 9 bucks.

  • yeah,i know,,when i bought these the 25th anniversary turtles wernt announced yet.

  • Old is better PERIOD, fuka 03 turtle lol

  • Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird said they like the 2003 turtles better cuz it is more like the comic book. it just depends on when you jump in to the turtle's word most fans of the comic are not big fans of the 80's cartoon cuz there so goofy. Then there people like me who just love everything Turtle 80's, 90's, 2000 there all good.

  • in my 23 years ive learned that orginal is way better i am an old skooler so all remakes are knock offs of what i grew up with

  • what bothers me about the 2003 ones is that they are all smiling and they dont have a serious look to them like the 88 ones do.

  • cool to see the 88 ones again. i destroyed mine in a giant action figure war in the early 90s but they fought valiantly.

    i honestly really liked the 2003 turtles. it's back to the sewers and fast forward that make me cringe.

  • sorry i tried to give you the thumb up comment that was funny as heck.

  • a giant action figure war lol I'd a great war when I was child too, but now I care my figures.

  • every raph i have has a squeshy head while my leo, don, and mike i've never had a squeshy head version of them. altough for some reason i can't get raph to hold his sai's

  • hey they are re-releasing the old 88 toys this year so you might want to start looking

  • this is a bitch to get out lol. great review man

  • Thanks for the review!

  • your videos rock DUDE!!!! I found my 1988 michelangelo figure but it was light green ! so if anyone of you knows what's wrong with it please tell me

  • The 2003 Are Crap the 1988 are Unbeatable and is very cool until this day

  • So, are you going to refresh your collection with the new, minty-fresh 25th anniversary re-issues of the old TMNT figures? They look great, and man, I was kind of surprised when I saw them: they made action figures cards a lot smaller when we were younger.

  • I didnt know about them till now. the comic versions look interesting,,a little extra articulation,but if I wer to collect them,id have to modify and paint them so

    I dont think its worth it.and then they are re-releasing the original playmate ones that I allready have,they look all the same except shredder has no pants,and april might not have the blue stripe.bigbadtoystore also has preorder to re-release the party wagon for $30.00 =) all and all,,I will only be completing my foot army.

  • Oh, huh. They're re-releasing the Party Wagon too? I didn't even know. That's pretty cool.

  • just to let you know, the old donatello in the show also had the white tape on his bo and not just in the first episode. if you dont believe me then check it up again.

  • i still have the donatello action figure... i was very excited when my parents bought it for me

  • I remember I had one of Michaelangelos nunchukas break on me back in the day. You may not want to do this, but I fixed it by carefully melting the plastic over a candle and when the plastic cooled it mended it back together - but note the "chain" wasn't as flexible, but it stuck together. And if ya notice the elbow, wrist, and knee pads on the old turtles are same color as the headbands - on the new ones, they are brown like the movie(s).

  • where to buy the new version tmnt

  • I like the old and new turtles. Times change and we must move on.

  • squishy head!

  • where im from i can go to goodwill and get them for 50 cents to 2 dollers a pice

  • yeah but they would be coverd in boogers and missing a leg lol//no weapons or belt to.

  • actully they have the weapons and no boogers

  • ok,,so missing leg and no belts then,,lol....well they definitly couldnt be display condition is my point.

  • Cool review:)

  • so wich ones where firts schuchi head ord hard head?

  • soft heads came out first.

  • Yea, I bought my collection off ebay, and my Donatello doesn't have the squishy head, but the rest do, and why is every Michelangelo nun chucks broken?

  • The plastic is too thin, its too fragile.

  • your ninja turtles action figures.

  • why so clear?!

  • what do you mean?

  • oh you mean clean???? and why??? why? because cleanliness is good right??? who wants used missing legged booger coverd toys? lol

  • Wow I totally remember having the old school turtles action figures as a kid. I'm gonna have to go dig around for them.

  • i also have all four 1988 turtles but mine are the solid heads not squishy heads. i got mine on ebay too :)

  • lucky well i bought don nd raph on ebay for 10.99 and they got here and don came wit one stick

  • ahh that sucks,yeah I hate when items arnt 100% complete when the descriptions say they are.I got a tmnt toon Kala nuetrino said 100% complete but she was missing an accessory which was the reason why I bought her in the first place! just for the accessory since I allready had the figure =(.Hey check out my other vintage tmnt reviews since you are a fellow tmnt collector.
