Recently, I snatched up Playmates' Ninja Turtles Classic figures. Toys really have come a long way. These 6 inch tall figures are superior, in every sense of the word, to the ones from the 80s. Aesthetically they're a much more accurate representation of the classic cartoon. Somehow, 6 year old me (and almost every kid on the planet) never asked why my figures looked nothing like their animated counterparts.

For once, Playmates are making toys that are almost certainly aimed at adult collectors/fans of the 80s cartoon. Straight away, that's points scored for nostalgia.
