GAMESTOP EXCLUSIVE DC COLLECTIBLES BATMAN VS TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES
With the post system being what it is these days during the holiday season, during a global pandemic, I have not received any of the new toys that are in transit, so today, we’ll have a look at older stuff, like the Gamestop Exclusive DC Collectibles (it was still ‘Collectibles’ at the time!) Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures (those pictures were taken in early 2020).
It was first a comic book crossover event, that was actually pretty good (2 sequels have come out since), and DC made an animated movie out of the first story. Those figures have the design of the animated movie.
Here are some packaging shots:
(The 'Robin & Raphaël' box was smashed during transport, so I just opened that one right away to make sure the figures were fine, so no photos of that box. The figures were fine!)
First, let’s check the leaders of their respective families: The Batman and Leonardo.
“Dude, you’re dressed like a bat!”
“You are literally a turtle.”
“Fair enough. Let’s fight crime!”
Now for the rebel of their families: Robin (Damian Wayne) and Raphaël.
“Oh, you put the hood on? Things are getting serious!”
“COME AT US, BRO!”
Then, they paired the tech savvy ones together, with Batgirl coming along with Donatello.
“You got any games on that?”
“Nevermind. Time to fight!”
Michaelangelo, or Mikey, the goofiest of the Ninja Turtles, was somehow paired with Alfred, the serious yet snarky butler. Odd pairing, but it works for me!
“Master Michaelangelo, may I ask you not to use your skateboard inside the manor, please…”
“Come on, I just waxed the floors…”
PS: Alfred has NO CHILL.
Finally, the baddies, Shredder and Ras’al’Ghul came in the same set, which makes a lot of sense.
“Soon, the turtles will be defeated!”
“And the detective will see how much smarter than him I am!”
“What is this thing anyway? Mu-ta-gen?”
Those figures are pretty awesome. I like the fabric they used for the cape, it allows for nice movement and display. The “cell shading” effect on the figures is a nice touch, and makes them look better than other versions of the characters. Some people didn’t like the design of the animated movie and would have prefered it to be closer to the comic book, but they still look awesome on a shelf. Growing up watching the TMNT cartoon and Batman the Animated Series, this was a no-brainer for me anyway.
A great representation, whether you are a fan of the Bat-Family…
… or the Ninja Turtles family!
“Group shot!”
“Now for the best part… PIZZA TIME!"
“Mmmmh… Pizza.”
Bonus: SDCC 2019 Exclusive Mikey as Batman
“I am vengeance, I am the night…”
“I AM MIKEY!”
“Pizza?”
