I couldn't get the NECA tmnt figures so the new series ones look alright to me. Seems like the classics are more articulated though, I don't see ankle articulation nor thigh swivels on the new series turtles.

Oh, I understand and I agree. And the cartoon was my introduction to them too. And they are great looking toys.
I dunno why, but they just don't sit right with me, and I can't put my finger on why.
Maybe they're just... too cartoony? I really don't know. I know as a kid, I preferred to play with the four movie turtles, than the original set, as my main toys.
Combined with everything getting updated with better detailing, more "realistic" color sets, and such... I've always preferred something along the lines of (a better engineered) Classics Hotrod, more than the cartoon accurate MP Hotrod.

I really don't dislike these toys at all, and I'm very likely to get them. I just... I dunno. Something about them feels very off to me, and I really don't understand why.
