Super Freak, He's Super Freaky!

And we’re back! Greetings and welcome back to “It Came From The Toy Box,” where we look at different toys on the market! Yes, I know it’s been a while. My computer kinda sorta died and it took a while to get a new one, but I did, so now I can finally get back to doing this blog. That being said, let’s get to it. I’ve been wanting to talk about some toys from a movie that came out recently for a while now, and they’re still on the market, so for the next few weeks, we’re looking at some of the figures for the movie “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.” So this week, we’re looking at “Teenager Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Superfly!” Should this bug infest your collection? Let’s find out!

I never got the chance to see “Mutant Mayhem,” due to a lot of life stuff that came up, which means I can’t actually put spoilers in this review since I don’t know any. That being said, here’s what I do know: “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” is the latest installment of the classic “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” franchise, was released in August of this year (2023, in case you’re reading this in the future), and introduces the turtles as a group of young teens hoping to find acceptance in the world.

The subject of today’s review, Superfly, is the main antagonist of the film. As I haven’t seen the movie, I’m not gonna go too much into who he is, but I can provide some background info on where he came from. In the original Ninja Turtles cartoon of the late 80’s-early 90’s, which was based on a surprisingly dark comic book series, Baxter Stockman was a hapless scientist who, after failing to sell his inventions, was recruited by the evil Shredder to be his personal tech guy. After some defeats at the hands of the turtles, Stockman was eventually transformed into a fly mutant and driven completely insane, as tends to be the case with people turned into fly mutants. Remember kids, if he’s got bug eyes, bug wings, and some extra limbs, odds are he’s not well. Superfly’s whole look and status as a fly mutant villain is taken from this version of Stockman, though I’ve got no idea if they’re the same dude in this version, since I’ve been avoiding spoilers.

In Soviet Russia, fly swats YOU!

The figure himself looks great. Like, I really love the look of this toy and have zero complaints. I absolutely love the torn clothing he wears, and extra details like his left foot bursting out of a sneaker really show the love that got put into designing this figure. I’m also a big fan of the torn up shirt and sweater vest, and the comically ill-fitting tie. It has an air of trying to seem human, but rejecting it in the end. Honestly, it gives me peak “I was once a man” vibes. I also really like the head sculpt on Superfly. Despite the general lack of human facial structure in it, he still manages to have an angry expression, and one gets the impression he’s cocking an eyebrow, if he had eyebrows. It’s a really expressive face for a bug. I’m also a fan of Superfly’s two extra arms at his waist. They’re tiny and can’t hold anything, but I really feel like they’re a nice touch that adds something fun and gross to his whole look. Superfly’s a bit physically lopsided, as you can tell by using your damned human eyes to gaze upon his visage. One arm’s a regular, though blue, arm that can hold his accessories. The other’s a massive, bulky claw arm that looks like it packs a hell of a punch. It’s a cool addition that shows that this guy’s able to throw hands, and I like that it suggests that Superfly’s mutation wasn’t exactly a controlled, successful one. Something very much did not go right when this dude was created. I’m also a fan of his translucent bug wings. They’re not comically small, and they’re not so big that they take away from his own stuff. They’re a nice, medium size.

In terms of articulation, Superfly’s pretty great. He’s got articulated shoulders, thighs, knees, and a neck and left elbow, which all adds up to a surprisingly articulated figure. His two little arms aren’t articulated, but I’m actually fine with that. Really small joints, like the kind those arms would need, tend to become looser easier. My one complaint is that his large, right claw isn’t articulated. I feel like the designers missed an opportunity there, and it also only gives him one hand to hold things with.

"Have you ever heard of insect politics? Neither have I. Insects... don't have politics."

I also really like how balanced this figure is. His insect feet give him a high degree of balance, making up for any issues caused by his huge torso, though his large right arm can cause him to tilt or lean, so watch out for that. Now, earlier, I mentioned that Superfly’s left foot is bursting out of a shoe. The way the shoe’s positioned on his leg, it actually helps balance him. I feel like that’s a really nice touch.

Superfly comes with action packed Male Pattern Baldness!

Superfly, like any good Ninja Turtle toy, comes with a variety of accessories. What I really love is that most of those accessories come attached to a sprue, just like the original toys from the 80’s. In fact, a lot of the accessories are similar to the ones included with the original Baxter Stockman fly. His main accessory, though, is a ray-gun that he can hold in his left hand. It’s both not attached to the sprue and has more paint used on it than the other accessories. Superfly’s wings also come as an accessory and are not attached to the figure. Instead, they must be pegged into his back, which is fine since the connection’s a strong one, so you don’t need to worry about the wings falling off. What’s weird, though, is that one of Superfly’s four wings is actually separate from the other three. It has to be attached to the rest of the wings before they’re attached to the bug himself. Maybe this made packaging him easier? It’s just a bit odd to me. Unfortunately, the way that one wing comes detached means it comes off easier than the other wings. Keep an eye on it, because it does want to come off, so you’ll need to keep pushing it back in as you play with the figure. It’s the one big weakness of an otherwise solid toy.

No, that wing isn't broken. Yes, I checked. No, I didn't break this toy right out of the box and then spin an elaborate lie to cover my ass. It's just a weird design choice.

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Superfly” currently goes for about $10 at mass retail, which, considering the rising prices of toys, is a terrific deal. He, like the rest of the “Mutant Mayhem” mainline of toys, is aimed at ages 4+, which is a good age for him just so long as you make sure nobody’s still in that “put the small thing in my mouth” stage. And now, the moment of truth: would I recommend this toy? Oh, absolutely. He’s a well-articulated figure with fun accessories and really good detailing, and, aside from the issue with that one wing, he’s really fun to play with. TMNT fans of all ages will definitely like this guy, so I’d say to go grab him as soon as possible. Next week, we’ll be continuing our look at the “Mutant Mayhem” figures with another baddie, so I’ll see you then! This is JS signing off and wishing you Happy Toy Hunting!

Some THING is happening

I think I’m hilarious. Saw this bad boy at Walmart and I couldn’t help myself. Now don’t get me wrong, NECA figures are NOT cheap by any means but seeing them in stores at something way more affordable than what scalpers want? Is everything.

He’s actually the best articulated figure I have yet. He moves wonderfully! There’s no point of him that’s particularly hard to move. His arms are a bit stiff but move better then the best of my other figures.

LOOK AT THIS HE CAN SIT DOWN FULLY ! Not a Angel trick or anything he’s actually sitting!

roomie let me try out their inya rose suction vibe and. oh my fucking god holy shit. id seen it jokingly described as "treating ur clit like a pigeon caught in a wind turbine" and they were NOT joking

honestly i was a little nervous trying it bcus i saw reviews calling it really really strong, and im pretty sensitive so i was afraid itd be too much for me but. it wasnt. at all. i knew i was very into overstimulation and pleasure masochism but. i had no idea the extent

6 orgasms in around 30 mins total, with a 10-20ish minute break in between to let my sensitivity lower a bit

when i say i havent cum that hard in a couple years i MEAN it. my legs were starting to shake and i was out of breath after the first 1, and i was only using the lowest base setting!! i didnt even try out the higher powers or patterns

i was only planning to try it out for the first 3 orgasms but once i rested i was so insatiably horny i couldnt not use it some more

in fact im Still insatiably horny, i think this toy ruined me

AND ANOTHER THING

i have a slightly more difficult time getting noticeably wet from the outside but i think this fixed that cause i could feel my slick when i walked to the bathroom after using it which was really hot tbh

and on a gender euphoria note, bcus of the suction my clit was swollen when i was done which genuinely made me so so happy

if i didnt need the money in my bank acct for food id b buying one right this instant

final score: 20/10

Lake Placid

Ages ago, some of you might recall that we looked at a rerelease of the original “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” figure of Leatherhead. Well, Leatherhead’s one of the antagonists in the movie “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem,” and, unlike some of the other characters from the movie, got a new figure! I’m happy about this, but my heart belongs to Paul Rudd, and therefore Mondo Gecko. Anyways, this week, we’re looking at that figure and determining if it’s really worth a spot that could have been occupied by Paul Rudd’s charm and wonder. So let’s dive into “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Leatherhead.”

Alright, still haven’t seen the movie, so this is a spoiler-free review. I’m also probably not going to see the movie any time soon, because that costs money, which I’m not exactly rolling in. Anyways, since I haven’t seen the movie, I can’t really tell you anything about the character other than that they’re a mutant alligator whose toy bio uses they/them pronouns.

I really do like Leatherhead’s look. It’s very stylized, with the proportions reflecting those of an unmutated alligator. Their whole look is essential an update of the original Leatherhead, and it really, really works. One change from the original look that I really dig is the night vision goggles. Since Leatherhead’s whole deal is supposed to be “backwoods hunter,” the goggles are an excellent addition. In addition, Leatherhead’s tail feels like it could really do some damage. It’s big, bulky, and feels like a blunt weapon.

I know they're just smiling because they're a gator, but I choose to believe they're genuinely happy to see me

Now, I do have one complaint about Leatherhead’s look. I mentioned that the proportions match those of regular alligators. Well, that does have a downside. See, IRL, alligators don’t really tend to have massive limbs when compared to their bodies. That’s the case here, too. Leatherhead has skinny arms and legs, and tiny hands and feet. If it wasn’t for the tail, Leatherhead would have pretty terrible balance.

Between the tail and the proportions, buying pants has gotta be a nightmare for Leatherhead

Leatherhead’s got some fantastic articulation, which is very par for the course for the “Mutant Mayhem” figures. I gotta say, I love how the figures in this line are so articulated without breaking the bank. It’s a nice change of pace from a lot of modern action figures. Leatherhead has articulation at the waist, elbows, shoulders, wrists, thighs, knees, ankles, and tail. They’re a really well-designed figure. However, the balance issues I previously mentioned mean there’s only so much posing Leatherhead can do before they fall over, so don’t go getting all excited about using this figure for an exciting action display.

Trying to strike that delicate balance between "showing off articulation" and "not falling over"

Leatherhead comes with a ton of accessories, most of which are based off the accessories of the original figure, and are even packaged the same way as those of the original figure. Their main accessory, though, is a shotgun, which, unlike the rest of their accessories, is actually painted. The shotgun fits perfectly in Leatherhead’s hands and can be stored in a bag on Leatherhead’s back.

Some cartoon villains use goofy, over the top weapons. Leatherhead, meanwhile, favors something a little more... direct

I absolutely love that, because so many toys have no way to store the accessories, meaning you lose them in a week.

The one accessory I didn't lose is, ironically, the only one not on the sprue.

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Leatherhead” is currently available at mass retail for about $10, which, as I’ve said before, is an excellent price for an action figure. Of course, excellent price or not, the big question is if I’d recommend this toy. …I would recommend this toy. Leatherhead’s a great figure. They’ve got great looks, terrific articulation, and fun accessories. They’re all-around a good toy for a good deal, just make sure you’re careful about the balance. If Leatherhead falls over, I can say from personal experience that they’ll take out any figures too close to them, so keep that in mind. Next time, we’ll be continuing our look at the Mutant Mayhem toys, so see you then! In the meantime, this is JS signing off and wishing you Happy Toy Hunting!
