They look interesting, but I'm not a big enough fan of the TMNT to go in on this set.

Hello guys this is my review for the HeatBoys TMNT Leonardo
The idea behind this figure is making a robot for each turtle carrying the colors and the style of its pilot. And I think HeatBoys did a wonderful job with this figure in almost every aspect.
The figure is indeed a high-quality piece nothing felt cheap, and no short cut were made I love how they used different shades of paint on the figure, the colors combination is neat,
The sculpt of the figure is also very beautiful. And there is super cool gimmick on the turtle shell that can be opened to reveal the pilot control room, also the moving panels while moving the figures limbs is always cool to see
As for the accessories the figure comes with ton of them with many display options, what I liked the most is the swords and daggers are made of diecast (yes diecast) they are hefty and very nice and the figure can hold them with no issues, another cool point they didn’t include set of fists, nope just one articulated set (already attached to the robot) and a peg inside the palm to hold the swords and the guns, for me this is better than including multiple sets of fists
The minor issue the figure have is the LEDs they are not as strong as they should and the eyes looks kinda dead when they are off, not a deal breaker at all since most companies do it like that. But they managed to add a cool feature to activate the LEDs you need to use a pizza slice that comes with the figure (no kidding) I found it funny and cool in the same time
S_Gokin score
Articulation: 10\10 the figure could pull ton of poses with no issues.
Quality of materials: 10\10 nothing felt cheap.
Paint (Finishing): 10\10 using different shades of the same color is a neat feature also the cool decals.
Anime accuracy: N\A I don’t think this will apply here but anyone could tell this is Leo from TMNT
Gimmicks and features: 9.5\10 the shell that open to show the pilot control room, the LEDs even tho they are not strong as they should.
Accessories: 10\10 you get what you need and more don’t forget the diecast swords and daggers
Size & dimension: 10\10 it’s the right size not huge not tiny.
Price: 10\10 for what we are getting, material wise and accessories its very reasonably priced
Weight: 10\10 it’s the perfect balance the figure has a nice heft to it, its not light and it’s not annoyingly heavy
Playability: 10\10 with all of these accessories and the multiple ways to display them, with the figure been highly articulated already, the figure is very play friendly
Engineering and shake test: 10\10 I did the shake test (with all of the accessories attached and the figure aced it, the only tiny movement came from the shoulder armor only with the assault rifle attached to it
Competitors: none, you won’t find anything like this in market
Overall: 10\10 the figure doesn’t suffer from any deal breaking issues, I find it beautiful and very well made, for me it’s a worthy competitor for the figure of the year 2023

Great review S... makes me want it. But it's it's 4 or 5 (counting shredder) figures commitment. I'm trying to back track some old sentai stuff and some MB at the moment so it would be hard for me to get them all. But I love how unique and well done they are... thanks for sharing it with us

The figure looks nice and all impressions of it are very positive, but I have a limited budget and shelf space, and can't just buy any figure. I do hope the line succeeds. Quality work should be rewarded, and while I'm not interested in the turtles I hope that Shredder eventually releases.

thank you Bocasas, the total is 5 with Shredder
from what i know they wont release them back to back, so there is a chance for you to get them one by one,, not counting reissues, the one i got comes with a first release bonus
Shredder will be cool it will work with both the turtles and other figures as a mechanical beast lol

i also have a limit budget trying to catch some releases from last year as well, but some figures are a must i rather getting them now while they are still reasonably priced than paying x5 the price
but i understand your point since you are not a huge fan for the TMNT they are not a must for

I like this, but don't know if I want to commit to 4 or 5 big figures. Running out of space. For my TMNT fix I'm going with some action figures from Fury Toys. Not mecha but they scratch that itch for me and it's easier on the wallet.

Funny how Raphael is the one with the least guns. These guys must not be fans of the Image Comics run.

After handling the Michelangelo I have tobsdmit that the base figure is amazing. It plays, feels, and looks great it hand. I'll say while it might not beat some of the better Flame Toys/Metal Build figures, considering the price it's a bargain. Even if you don't plan on getting the whole team I think you should at least pick up your favorite Turtle.

Most of the time, I roll my eyes when people try to display their figures wearing/holding everything in the box at once, but this one calls for it. It looks amazing with those those two rockets, machine guns and dual missile-carnival launchers on its back, two other missile pods on its legs, a giant (motorized!) dual-barrels gatling gun on one arm and nunchucks in the other hand (with a second pair hanging from its waist, because why not).
Both are basically the same core figure, but Heatboys managed to give them such different personalities with their decos and accessories.

you know each collector have his/her own way when it comes to displaying stuff
for me im the classic guy who just leave them in the A stand
but with the turtles they just look bad a$$ with everything on and i know the joints system can handle all of it overtime with no issues best thing the box is almost empty after attaching everything ,so i can store it away unlike other boxes that need to be store in the right place
i would like to add on your last sentence, i was surprise when i got Mikey, since i thought it will be the same but i was mistaken, the paint is different than Leo, its darker and the main armor is different as well, i love how they gave him sun glass and headphones with his name on it, and the cool hair style, they just know their stuff, i also notice the joints is a bit tighter than Leo maybe because of the weapons
at the end this is a line i hope i can complete
