This Ninja Turtle Giant Robot Is the Best, Weirdest Toy Collaboration of the Year
toy, you’re presented with layers of density—from trays of weapons and accessories, to theonce you’ve strapped the aforementioned accessories all over him. And yet, for as brick-like as Leo can be, the attention to detail in everything from paintwork to articulation and movement is deceptively delicate. This is a figure you don’t have to have price-induced anxiety about bending a joint too far or something snapping off if you don’t handle it just so.
t’s stable even in the most dynamic of poses, and every joint moves smoothly and yet firmly enough that you can be relatively rough with it .able figure, one dedicated to not just being faithful to the classiccharacter design but in its mechanical design too. Seeing little pistons and pieces of joint armor expand and contract as you mov
e an arm or bend a knee isn’t just a great little treat but keeps Leonardo’s silhouette intact no matter how far you push a pose. After spending most of a day manhandling him, each joint still felt as tight—but not uncomfortably so—as it did when I took Leo out of the box, and ready to pose as if he’s either a hulking, stomping giant robot or a graceful, balletic Ninja teen.And Heat Boys gives you plenty to play with to keep posing the figure over and over. In the world of NYC’s sewers Leo might be best known for his dual katanas in combat, but his mechanized counterpart comes with enough firepower for longclose-ranged combat to make a Gundam blush.
Attached to either the aforementioned hardpoints or to pegs in each of Leo’s hands—themselves having articulated figures—you’re rarely not going to have a solid grasp on whatever you want to kit mecha Leo out with. Combined with a sturdy stand for dynamic aerial posing that even has a base you can store most of the optional attachment clips or other small parts in, Heat Boys have crafted a mech toy you’ll want to fiddle with over and over, and appreciate every detail.
