Teenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesTMNT Classic Technodrome Playset - Amazon Exclusive

How fun! Love that they brought this back. Yes its smaller and a little different than the original, but its also affordable. Good quality material. Very happy with this purchase!

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.

Holy grail for myself. Never got to own the technodrome and didn’t want to pay triple for a complete and clean set. The size is smaller than the original, I did pick up some super7 reaction figures and they fit great. Stickers took longest to put on but I’m glad playmates are reissuing lots of these toys I grew up with

Ordered one when this first came out and kept it sealed, but ordered another when this was discounted to open. This time, this came in a shipper box. Anyways, its been know now that the size of this technodrome was reduced when compared to the original. Lots of stickers to apply, but only had an issue with one sticker because it was too big for where it needed to be. One issue that really sticks out is the eyeball doesn't attach that well. It kind of just rests in a spot and will fall with with ease.Such a shame the size of this was reduced. The classic figures (sold separately) work somewhat well with this set, but not as originally designed.Overall, still very happy with this playset since I never had the original. As an older fan, this still makes for a great piece to display.

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!

As someone who had this as a kid, I was super excited to get this for my five-year-old son. As other reviews have stated it is significantly smaller than the original. Some of the figures can’t even fit into the places they’re supposed to fit. overall the quality is just junk. super disappointed.

Don't expect the same toy as the original stickers are a pain. Also the side guns don't rotate like the original very light kind of crappy built. The eye just sits on top doesn't go on snug. Expect more of a fun thing to look at not to play with and roll around. Not worth the price not going to lie but nice collectable. Wish I could give a better review.

i got this tmnt technodrome, for my 11-year-old son'e birthday coming up,....i hid it in the closet, with my wifes closthes,....thank you also for the low price too, i hope it goes more lower like in the $ 20 dollar range, so i can get one for my friend in Canada, and my other friend in PA,...THANK YOU,....
