2014 Best Of List
The most exciting TMNT toys of last year.
With 2014 now in the rear view mirror it is only fitting to look at the best in toys released. Countdown time folks!
10. Half Shell Heroes
The introduction of these more toddler-focused toys was quite a pleasant surprise. With their minimal design and articulation but fun array of vehicles and characters this line had to make the list.
09. Squirrelanoid (TMNT Basic Series)
Good articulation, paint, and army building potential put this one at number 9. The figure as a whole is really quite good so kudos to Playmates for making this one work so well.
08. Battle Shell Ninja Turtles
Much like the vintage storage shell turtles the battle shell TMNT are almost required for any fan. The great thing about these is the solid sculpts and articulation which make them second only to the original Nick Turtles release.
07. TMNT Classics Movie Mikey
Although the 3rd classics series is a bit of a letdown Mikey did seem to be the best of the bunch with Raph taking 2nd. Leo and Don on the other hand are quite ugly. The lack of paint on these guys is a huge bummer!
06. TMNT Giant 11″ Shredder
Giant Shredder seemed to slip under the radar for the most part. The 11″ figure is quite good and nice to have but pales in comparison to the 4 11″ turtles due to being a bit flimsy.
05. TMNT Casey Jones (Basic Series)
Casey was a pleasant surprise. Good articulation and a solid sculpt made him a must have but a bit more paint would have been nice. Certainly one you will want in your collection!
04. TMNT Tiger Claw (Basic Series)
This one hits all the sweet spots. Articulation, paint, sculpt, and overall fun. Add in his cool look and holstered guns and you have an instant classic. My favorite pick from the basic series hands down.
03. Toys R Us Relrelease of Krang with Walker
We have seen a bunch of rereleases over the years but we have all waited patiently for Krand to hit the pegs once again (Foot Soldier was a nice bonus)! Really one of the classics of the vintage line it was hard not to get excited by seeing this old brain once again.
02. Funko POP TMNT Party Van
Funko has been killing it let’s just get that out of the way. With their endless properties and fun vinyls there is something for everyone. Introducing the TMNT Party Van and a bunch of other classic pop culture rides was just icing on the cake.
01. TMNT Revoltech Figures
You knew they made the list in some way. These take the number 1 spot for 2014 with their perfect execution of the Nick TMNT characters. Are they ridiculously expensive? Yep. Are they worth it? Absolutely. Even with the price these toys are what toy fans dream of when the imagine the perfect turtles toys.
