Super 7 tmnt
I really like the tripod inclusion as she has struggled long enough trying to film herself on location, and the repurposed weapons sprue to include the legs is pretty ingenious. The new accessories come in the form of two cartoon-inspired Turtle comms (open and closed), her Channel 6 press badge with vintage news van colors and call numbers, a tripod for her camera. The latter was actually an accessory included with a later version of April in the vintage line, but I am glad to have it here. Oh, and she also has a flash light that can be used as a blunt force weapon, and a microphone to help complete the reporter look. Even though she is the only one to be packing blue steel. She also gets her trusty brief case (which can open and close) as well as the ninja stars that I assume were given to her by the Turtles for protection. I mean, the plucky reporter goes to straight “answer the question!” with one quick swap-out. The whole camcorder to pistol combo has always been crazy to me, and I glad to see it brought back here. Like or love the style, it brings that old figure across accurately, and the more time I have with it, the more I like it.Īside from the various portraits, April comes a ton of accessories, both updated and all-new. I appreciate the headset addition as that really shows April out in the field, and the more second version/cartoon head tribute is nice too, but for this version of April, I am going all-in with the regular vintage head. Yes, under those lights it is reflective, but in a normal room on shelf, that it does not come across, and if you compare the tone to the original figure, it is pretty similar.

The plastic used for the skin is a bit glossy for my tastes, but it is not NEARLY as bad as some of the online pictures with hot lights would lead you to believe. This is not the most articulated ULTIMATES! figure, but it has all of the points that you would expect for this line, including a nice partial ball at the waist. Heck, you even get the “Turtles” logo on the back of the jumpsuit.
Yes, it makes sense to deem this figure the most straightforward of the group, but with with the exception of a couple of little nitpicks, it does what it is supposed to do well.įirst and foremost, the classic portrait and figure build are very true to the original. I am glad to say that this is one of those cases where the actual figure fares much better than the early in-hand pictures, and this figure does a pretty great job of being that modern representation of the vintage figure. This figure has certainly undergone a lot of changes since it was originally solicited, so I was anxious to get a look at the final result.
