TMNT Classic Technodrome Playset - Amazon Exclusive

Great Toy! Brings back memories. A little smaller than the Original, But still worth it!

I often see complaints about the size of this toy, but honestly, it’s not significantly smaller than the original. Yes, you could shell out big bucks for a vintage model, but this new, complete version offers incredible value at a fraction of the price. While the assembly comes with over 50 stickers—something I wasn't too thrilled about—it wasn’t difficult to put together. Even if you don’t own any Ninja Turtles figures, this toy still delivers countless hours of imaginative play. You can easily incorporate Star Wars figures to create an epic imperial or separatist droid superweapon, or transform it into an alien command ship. It also makes for an exciting fortress where toy soldiers or cars can engage in thrilling battles or daring escapes. This toy sparks creativity and imagination, and while it's not as robust as the original, its lighter weight makes it easier to carry around for playtime. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Cool, stickers are a pain, but it is good and sturdy for play, may take a while to assemble

I still have have the original version that I got as a kid about 35 years ago and my son really likes mine so I found him this remake version and while it's pretty cool, I was a little disappointed with it. First it's smaller than the original which is a bummer as the remake of the original turtle figures stayed the same size as the original figures so it looks a little off. Secondly the plastic isn't that great as the sides of the dome itself are very flimsy and you can physically bend them. One thing to watch out for is the eye that sits on top doesn't stay on like the original. The slightest tap and it falls off and rolls away. If you have an original and are looking to buy this just to replace parts that are missing, just be warned the might not fit as the new version is smaller and the plastic pieces are poorly made. Overall my son likes it and we play with it together often.

Maybe not as big as the 90s OG, just slightly smaller. Still worth getting. Do recommend for collectors to have it shipped in box or Amazon will stick a shipping sticker on the box, happened to a friend.

Owned the original many years ago, this is the exact same thing. There are a lot of stickers, many of these 90s playsets (especially the TMNT playsets and the Jurassic Park playset) came with sticker packets that provided colorful details. In the case of the technodrome, there are a bunch of small stickers that go on tiny square patches on the outside of the technodrome plus along the base. Its a minor annoyance. Another couple gripes is that the technodrome will not shut with the "brain scrambler" (turtle torture spinner) or the command center perch in place. Those two accessories will have to be removed and stowed. Other than those minor complaints, this is a pretty gnarly playset. It looks fantastic, and has some really neat stuff on the inside, like the Turtle jail cell, the weapons storage area, the "ooze scanner" retro-mutagen device. When this toy was new, kids could also purchase cannister of the ooze which was you're basic fake toy slime, and you would strap a turtle into the ooze scanner and dump the ooze on them. While this sounded fun in theory, doing so was a bad idea because the ooze was difficult to clean up and would damage the stickers, and leave weird sticky flakes that were near impossible to eradicate. The Real Ghostbusters Firehouse HQ had a similar gimmick where you could pour the Ectoplasm through a grate in the roof to "slime" the GhostBusters. The ooze hasn't been in production for years, and that is for the best since few would be willing to risk getting this fine toy filthy. There's a lot to love here, nostalgiacs are going to want this one.

I ordered three of these because they were priced really well at the time, and as a long-time TMNT fan I couldn’t pass them up. The design is packed with nostalgic details and really captures the classic TMNT cartoon aesthetic. It looks great on display and feels like a fun throwback piece for fans who grew up with the original series. The colours are bright, the sculpted details are well done, and there’s plenty to appreciate if you enjoy collecting TMNT memorabilia. I bought multiple because I wanted extras for display and I don’t regret it. If you’re a long-time TMNT collector or just love retro Turtle merchandise, this is definitely worth picking up—especially if you find it at a good price.

I think if we consider that making it slightly smaller than the original likely had to do with affordability and keeping the price point at $80, than we can better get over loosing an inch of play space here and there with this playset. I find the size is adequate for play while still recognizing that the original was superior in that regard. The eyeball feature is not an issue on my copy, The box art is beautiful and the assembly was worth the effort. It feels sturdy and the plastic doesn’t feel cheap. Mine came missing a piece called the mutation mat. I was able to E-mail Playmates about the issue and a replacement piece has already arrived! Great customer service from them! It is a must have collector piece and totally fun toy from the greatest action figure era ever! My turtles have been running amok all over this playset and it has not been put away even once since it arrived. I even let the kids play with it too sometimes!

Bellissimo tutto perfetto

Item received in good condition with original brown carton box. Very happy with purchase.

Genial, excepto por un detallito. Mirando reviews se destaca que es un 10% más pequeño que el original de los 80. Como pieza nostálgica es maravilloso, pero las figuras encajan bien (Krang "baila" en el poste donde debe ir encajado y todos los gimmiks se quedan un 10% pequeños)

Solo el ojo no encaja bien

Good
