NECA Reveals All Four Turtles Based on 90’s TMNT Movie

It’s been a while since we heard anything about NECA’s latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures. For those who are unaware, NECA announced plans last year for a 1/4 scale Donatello based on the original 90’s TMNT movie. At the time, we were fairly sure that they would also be producing Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo, but they had not yet revealed their models. Thankfully, we now have confirmation that all four turtles will be a part of this collection. As you can see from the picture above, all four turtles have made their debut and they’re all looking very nice.

As we previously discussed, the Donatello figure is currently up for pre-order at a price of $96.99. If the other characters follow suit, chances are that they will be sold at a similar price point. Let’s just say that it would be very surprising to see these figures being sold for more than $100 each at release. Considering the size and detail of each figure, this is absolutely a fair price. Heck, these 90’s TMNT movie collectibles are large enough that you should probably make sure that you have room for them! Each figure is 16 ½ inches in height and comes with 30 points of articulation.

Unfortunately, we don’t have any information yet on when these figures will officially be released. The Donatello figure is due for release this month, but it’s still only available for pre-order. That being said, it’s nice to see all four turtles on display here, because it serves as confirmation that NECA has indeed been working on all of our favorite heroes in a half shell. Fans of the 90’s TMNT Movie will want to get their hands on these Ninja Turtles figures as soon as they are available in order to avoid paying collector’s prices if and when they go out of print.

Jada Toys Releases Die Cast Metal TMNT Figures

How many similar Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures can be brought to market before even the fans start to get tired of seeing green? Well, it would appear that Jada Toys is ready to put this question to the test, because they have just released a new series of TMNT collectibles. We’ve seen quite a few figures based on the original animated series, so the design of these Ninja Turtles toys probably won’t come as a surprise. The only thing that really separates this particular merchandise from similar items on the market is its die cast model, which some collector’s may actually prefer.

If I sound a bit harsh, it’s only because we’ve seen so many different iterations of these specific Ninja Turtles on store shelves, and I’m always on the lookout for something new and different. When the only difference between two figures is the material used to make them, there’s not much to get excited about. The price of these Jada Toys TMNT collectibles falls in line with other offerings on the market, coming in at between $10-$15 per figure. Of course, thanks to the different material, you can expect a much smaller figure from this line; each turtle is only 4 inches high.

Perhaps I’m being too negative about this line, but something tells me that a lot of fans are also tired of seeing the same old thing. Thankfully, Jada Toys will also be releasing a slightly bigger version of Leonardo in Samurai armor. This Samurai figure represents something of a departure from the average TMNT merchandise on the market, so at least they are trying something a little bit different. The Samurai Leonardo toy is 6″ in height and costs roughly twice as much as the traditional TMNT figures in this line.

Unlike some of the other Ninja Turtles figures we’ve seen announced as of late, these are apparently available to purchase right away. If you’re looking for a smaller form factor and you like the idea of having some die cast turtles in your collection, be on the lookout for this latest line of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures from Jada Toys.

HeroCross Releasing New 90’s TMNT Figures

There have been a lot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys hitting the market. Many of these figures have been focused on paying homage to the original cartoon and the first few TMNT movies. This shouldn’t be too surprising, considering that the turtles have celebrated quite a few notable anniversaries over the past few years, and nostalgia for the franchise is at an all time high. Perhaps that is why HeroCross has joined the crowd and announced that they are planning their own series of 90’s TMNT figures based on the design of the original animated series.

Unlike some of the other TMNT action figures and statues being developed right now, these HeroCross Ninja Turtles figures are actually quite special. Featuring a design described as a “Hybrid Metal Figuration,” it’s clear that these aren’t just going to be made of plastic like many of the competitor brands. Instead, these 90’s TMNT figures will be part metal and part plastic, making them much more sturdy and difficult to break. Featuring more than one head and several pairs of hands for each figure, it’s safe to say that these are intended as display pieces for fans to put on their shelves or desks.

Each Ninja Turtles figure has an excellent paint job that looks a lot like the character designs from the mid-90’s era of the original cartoon. There are similar TMNT figures hitting the market soon, but these are fairly different. The bodies appear to be a bit smaller than the heads, making for a rather unique and interesting take on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. At a size of 6 inches, these figures likely won’t take up too much space. If you’re looking for a 90’s TMNT figure you can show off either at work or at home, this appears to be an excellent option.

Sadly, we don’t even know when these 90’s TMNT figures are going to be released. What we do know is how similar figures from HeroCross have been priced, which suggests that we can expect a price of around $90-$100 for each figure. This is going to be a little pricey for some fans, but considering the build quality and the features of these figures, it’s a decent price. Donatello will be the first Ninja Turtle released from this toy line, so fans of Donnie should be on the lookout for more information about this figure in the coming months.
