Nickelodeon "HISTORY OF TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" FEATURING LEONARDO iii / ..original PLAYMATES office model (( 2010 ))

–>> Now that the major Holiday Hurricane is marginally over, least the worst of it is – – as we CAREEN towards 2016, perhaps Santa left you this BIG GUY of a display piece as a memento of 2015 & a sampling of Leo figures of recent of Playmates’ days of yore.

The TRU Leo set is based on the original “History – ” display at the PLAYMATES offices in California. The 2007 Movie Leo toy is in this original display piece, as well as the unreleased 2010 COMIC Book Leo based off the Michael Dooney MIRAGE style.

Due to the massive undertaking on breaking down this piece we’ll compliment it by posting the trusted Pixel Dan E.’s review of the entire piece, then one by one break down and compare the reproduction figures in the set with original carded vintage & recent versions – one post at a time. This is a decent set, but modifications were made partly due to stabilization for the purpose of semi-mass manufacturing a retail piece based on an original IN-OFFICE Playmates model. Originally conceived presumably in 2009, this model I believe is featured lightly in 2014’s “TURTLE POWER” documentary. But the Turtle’s licensing and multimedia world has changed dramatically, and even exploded since the franchise changed hands in 2009. The TRU model reflects these changes,  — thus – — –

Nickelodeon TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: MUTAGEN OOZE (( 2013 ))

Nickelodeon TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: MUTAGEN OOZE i (( 2013 ))

☣ ☣

–>> .. the next generation of MUTAGEN looks really cool. Shake and move the can around and the pearlecent effect looks eerie and neat !! Almost radioactive !! ALMOST LIKE TOOTHPASTE !!

Nickelodeon TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: MUTAGEN OOZE ii / .. shelf display case (( 2013 ))

The ooze seems a little tiny bit thicker than the older versions ..but it’s a bit hard to tell.

Nickelodeon TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: MUTAGEN OOZE iii / .. shelf display case (( 2013 ))The colour and play value is just as good ..however the price has jumped to about 7.99 a can. That may be understandable due to inflation. In the 1990s a 4 oz. can of ooze i think was around 2 – 4 bucks. To Playmates’ defense ..you are getting a little bit more product than in the classic cans aside from the little bonus figure.

Nickelodeon TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: MUTAGEN OOZE ix / ..visible Bonus Turtle (( 2013 ))

 If maneuvered during shipping or if you shake the can around, the Bonus Turtle inside can be slowly shifted to the edge of the container & you can see which pre-TMNT you’re gona get. This is great if you are going for your favourite Turtle or if you are the collector that wants to get just one of each Turtle without having to buy multiple containers of the Ooze. Good work,Playmates !!

Nickelodeon TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: MUTAGEN OOZE xi (( 2013 ))

Nickelodeon TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: MUTAGEN OOZE xiv (( 2013 ))

Each display has 12 cans per case, my first purchase was the last 5 of the display case they had from the toy store shelf. Only Leo, Don, and Mikey were available in the remaining cans i purchased. I’ll have to try to get Raph later.

Nickelodeon TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: MUTAGEN OOZE xiii (( 2013 ))

The 2000s INDIVIDUAL cans ( as far as i know ) were only available overseas so i cannot compare prices to the equivalent containers. You could only get those cans at retail with the deluxe Mutations figures.

Nickelodeon TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: MUTAGEN OOZE xxxi / with "TMNT MUTATIONS" OOZE containers '03 (( 2013 ))

Trying to recall :: Ooze cans were available individually OUTSIDE of North America in the 2000s. Unless i was missing something, the individual cans weren’t not available in the States. You had to buy the deluxe Mutations Turtle figures to get the Bonus Ooze.

The individual cans overseas did come with an exclusive “bonus pre-mutant turtle”. If i recall.. i think the little figures had moving parts. Not sure tho’. Cannot recall at this time.

Nickelodeon TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: MUTAGEN OOZE xxxii / with "TMNT MUTATIONS" Don & Raph OOZE containers '07 (( 2013 ))The third incarnation the TMNT Mutations toys came out during the 2007 movie era of toys.

Similar concept as the classic Mutations but with improved sculpting and detailing of the “baby turtle” forms and improved articulation of the Mutated forms. Still these toys were controversial with some fans.

Never-the-less each of the teens came with a mini T.C.R.I. can of Ooze with a different colour to match each Turtle. Purple ooze for Don, Reddish ooze for Raph.. ect.

–>> Tokka has misplaced Carrot’s 2 little, unimpressive ‘stink-bombs’. I still have ’em, i just couldn’t locate ’em in time before shooting.

Wingnut’s grenade is just a placeholder for the display in lieu of the missing bombs.

**From the official Flaming Carrot site and based off what little i recall, after many delays and production issues ( and much frustration from Bob & his fans ), Carrot was moved over to Dark Horse from Antarctic for release at the very tail end of the 1990s.

 

DARK HORSE COMICS:: "Flaming Carrot" Action Figure // ..ebay pic (( 1999 ))The scale was also increased from the planned 4″ to 6″ maybe to keep up with the trend for these “Marvel Legend” scaled figures put out by smaller toy companies. A trend that seemed to be really popular during this little window of time.

Flaming Carrot Action Figure

“Ut! One of the original members of Bob Burden’s Mysterymen is coming to life as an action figure. We have secured the rights to this previously-announced but never produced action figure. We have expanded the size from the former 4 inches to a more dynamic 6 inches, but retained the amazing accoutrements such as the atomic pogo stick, stink bomb and of course the astounding light-up “flame” effect at the top of the carrot’s head. Packed on a colorful backing board with genuine plastic blister-bubble, this pvc powerhouse is springing your way in October.”
