It's
Wednesday, and you know what that means...
ToyFarce review!
This week we're having a look at the
TMNT: The Secret of the Ooze VHS 4-pack and
Accessory set by
NECA (
which took its sweet time getting to people outside of the US).
NECA is having their
Haulathon event this month, and I have a lot of
NECA backlog (
aka figures to open), so I guess I'll be reviewing
NECA products for the next few weeks. The
TMNT: The Secret of the Ooze 4-Pack and
Accessory set were available exclusively on the
NECA website for a limited time (2 weeks) at the end of March 2022, and have started to arrive over the last couple of months.
What makes this
TMNT: The Secret of the Ooze 4-pack special compared to the
2-packs that can be found in stores is the packaging, which, just like the
comic con exclusive packaging of the turtles from the first movie, looks like a giant VHS box. The box has a big sleeve so you can see what's inside. The design of the box is pretty great, with quotes from the Fwoosh or ToyShiz in the back.
Even though there is a separate
Accessory set, those figures come packed with accessories too, like their
weapons (
obviously), as well as
8 extra hands, a
fire extinguisher,
2 ooze canisters (full and empty),
pizza slices (
half eaten ones too!), a
pizza box, a
foam bat and
cold cuts nunchucks! The 4-pack also comes with an exclusive
diorama background with a graffiti of the
Dockshore Club.
The figures themselves are a nice
improvement of the ones from the first movie. For a long time, I thought those were the best turtle movie figures
EVER, and after seeing those new ones and comparing them side by side, it looks like the more recent one have better proportions, skin tones, etc...than the first movie figures. They match the suits from the second movie, of course, which were also improved from the first one (lighter, allowing more movements for the stunts), but as figures, they really look great.
The
TMNT: The Secret of the Ooze Accessory set is another homerun by
NECA, with a variety of accessories that are pretty versatile and can be used for displays or toy photography with other figures than the turtles as well. It includes
5 new head sculpts (
1 for each + gagged Raphael), a
keytar, a
suitcase, a
hat, a
bowl of pop corn,
2 bags of chips,
2 aprons (
soft goods!), a
double sided broom, a
broken ooze canister, a
pizza box with pizza slices in it, a
computer and
keyboard (very 90s), a
newspaper, a phone from a
phone booth,
2 cups of soda, a
chocolate bar,
2 brushes and my favorite: the
pre-mutation versions of
Tokka and
Rahzar!
