NECA Reveals Details About Baby Turtles From 90’s TMNT Movies

Earlier this year, NECA unveiled their plans for a series of figures based on the baby turtles from the 90’s TMNT movies. At the time, they had yet to reveal any additional information about these collectibles, but the early images looked very promising. Now that they’ve had a few months to work on the product, additional details about pricing, release date and accessories have finally emerged.

Rather than splitting the baby turtles up and selling them individually, NECA has decided to sell all four in one set. This set of TMNT figures will include three accessories: a bag of chips, a pizza box (with four slices), and a turtle hand twirling nunchucks. The pizza box will apparently be big enough for at least one turtle to stand inside, so chances are that the chip bag will also be appropriately sized.

Now we come to the issue of price. Although NECA’s products are usually at least a little expensive, fans will probably be pretty happy to hear that they can pre-order this set of baby turtles right now for only $49.99. As if that news weren’t good enough, NECA has also revealed that these collectibles will be shipping in March of 2018. In just three short months, you’ll have the opportunity to get your hands on these awesome TMNT figures.

This announcement comes just a few months after NECA revealed their plan to release two pieces of memorabilia based on the 90’s TMNT movies – including a TCRI Mutagen Canister. This collectible is still available for pre-order and it would definitely make for a nice companion piece with the baby turtle figures. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty impressed with NECA’s plans for 2018!

NECA Shows Off Baby Turtle Figures From Original TMNT Movie

When Toy Fair 2017 rolled around, we figured that NECA would be showing off the latest TMNT figure from their most recent line of collectibles based on the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Sure enough, they unveiled the final design for their Leonardo figure alongside Michelangelo, Raphael and Donatello.

However, in addition to finishing up this particular line, they also unveiled the addition of four familiar baby turtles. Anyone who has seen the original movie will immediately recognize these little dudes as the turtles designed by Jim Henson to represent our heroes in a half-shell before they became teenagers.

As if it weren’t awesome enough to see these little dudes on display, they put all four of them right next to their much older counterparts to show the size comparison. Sure enough, these baby turtle figures are much smaller in comparison to NECA’s other collectibles, and that is absolutely by design.

The company wanted these turtles to look as small as they would have been in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, and it looks like they’ve managed an almost perfect recreation. If you thought it would be enough to get the four teenage turtles in this line, something tells me you’re now craving a little bit more for your TMNT collection.

NECA sure knows how to entice their fans, and this is one unexpected release that is sure to please most shellheads. Given the size, it’s not likely that these four baby turtle figures will be as expensive as their teenage counterparts. That being said, the level of detail on display with each of these collectibles suggests that they won’t necessarily be as cheap as something you’d see from Playmates Toys.

According to NECA, the Leonardo figure is already available for pre-order at several online retailers. We were under the impression that Mikey would be next to ship, but apparently they’ve elected to go with Leo instead. This TMNT figure is set for release in May of 2017. Just like the Donatello and Raphael figure, this one will run you about $100 on average.

Sadly, there’s no news yet on when we can expect to see the baby turtle figures hit store shelves, but we’ll keep you posted as these details are revealed. If I had to guess how much these TMNT collectibles will cost, I’d expect a price tag between $30-$50 each. Plan accordingly, fellow TMNT fans!
