My Top 10 From 2025 #9

#9



TMNT hasn't been on my radar since the first series of 4 inch Eastman and Laird comic book figures. That all changed when I walked into, of all places, Walgreens and saw some Mutant Mayhem figures in the toy aisle. SDTB had already piqued my interest in the line  so I picked up Leonardo and subsequently the rest of the turtles at my local Walmart. Of the 4, Raphael ended up being my favorite. 


Fave Factor:  Marketing is a real thing and in this case it was the figures that made me want to peep the animated film, which made me want to buy more figures. And like most TMNT merch, these guys  pop and literally scream for you to pick them off of the pegs in toy aisles. What made this line of turtles so cool, for me anyways, was their different body molds. Raphael is the bulkier of the four and sports the full cowl over his head. He comes in at #9 on my top 10 of 2025 list.

CT Toys is heavy on my radar right now. I was pleasantly surprised with Wolverine but this Spider-Man figure has made me a full fledged believer. Included are 5 sets of alternate hands, 1 with magnets (6 in all if you count the ones he comes equipped with), 1 extra set of articulated feet with magnets, 4 web streams and an alternate McFarlane style head sculpt. Oh, and a display stand.  I've said in the past how sucky I am at posing action figures. That said, MAFEX/CT figs are great for posing, even if you're not very good at it. It's "kid gloves" with these guys, though, as they are a little gummier than Legends figures.  CT Toys Wolvie and Spidey!  Here's CT Toys Spidey next to a couple of Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures. The differences are pretty pronoun...

1990 Toy Biz Marvel Superheroes Daredevil

Growing up we had lots of cool superhero toys to collect. There was never a shortage of Batman, Superman or Spiderman figures in the toy aisles. Mainstream characters got all the love. Dudes like Daredevil, not so much. That all changed in the mid to late 80's (Mattel Secret Wars) and in 1990 Toy Biz would start releasing their seemingly neverending line of Marvel Superheroes that gave us action figures of everybody from  Daredevil to Deathlok.
