TOY NEWS INTERNATIONAL :: LOOK – – We’re getting SLAMMED with TURTLE related product in 2016 and i’m really overwhelmed here, so screw it. I trust Dan’s reviews and just am gonna post the imperative walk-thru’s he made with the companies offering the impressive pieces so many will want to add to their collections.
..possibly partially due to the leaks on the TMNT 2 movie product last month and from mandate by Paramount, no Movie products and toys are in this walk thru.

–>> Here we go, wrapping up this break-down of the “History- ” set with 1 final installment..
2014’s movie Leo release is Another figure that retains minimal modification, possibly due to it’s more recent release of the carded version. Updated copyright info, the threaded pegholes, and potentially a slightly off-molded head. The changes are so small compared to the carded retail version
I mostly use the “Paramount Movie” tag to distinguish the 2014 movie reboot from the original films. Not that it’s hard to do that. My “tOkKustom” repaint of the standard carded Leo figure was to heighten the details of the Varner sculpt, not necessarily to go for hyper-detailed movie accuracy. It suffices i suppose.
The two noggins on the toy seem slightly different. But i highly suspect a manufacturing issue on that note.
..here’s lotsa Movie Leo figures, for fun.
Were you lucky enough to find this set under your tree last month ??
I do not knowifone shouldbe satisfiedoralreadytired ofeach new line Tradingcoming out of theNinjaTurtles,thefact is thatJakksPacific, maker offigures30 or socentimetershigh, [they] announcedthat amongits new lines, thefigureswill [be] Ninja Turtles.Nonewsyetonwhat versionwere based [on] …It was not untilthe nextinfo [at] NEWYORKTOYFAIR.
..bottom line, aside from the Giant KID-SIZED TMNT figures we’ve seen during the Holidays from JAKKS ( Mikey and Leo so far ) – – we may see other scale figs. Jakks has been putting out larger Nintendo, ZELDA, MARIO, STAR WARS, WWE, HALO and the like. There may be another scale offered by Jakks akin to those other franchise lines. We’ll see. NY TOY FAIR is around the corner.
