After about a year’s hiatus, Playmates Toys has brought the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles back with their new toyline based on the brand new Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series. The characters all have a brand new look and changes some of the things we have been used to with previous incarnations of the Turtles. Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello and Michelangelo are all still around, though they are each a different type of Turtles these days, Raphael is also the leader of the group which differs from other TMNT lore. Splinter and April O’Neil are also different from their usual depictions, with Splinter being overweight and more humorous and April O’Neil now an African-American teenager. I know some fans have been resistant to the changes, but I’m willing to give it a chance. Usual TMNT nemesis, Shredder is also nowhere to be seen in this new version.
Getting back to the toys however, the first basic figure assortment features Raph, Leo, Don, Mike, April and Splinter plus villains Baron Draxum, Meat Sweats and the Origami Ninja. We will also be receiving figure and vehicle sets, deluxe ninja action figures with different features such as sound, giant-sized Turtles, the sewer playset and the Turtle Tank. If you happen to like TMNT, definitely check in with us this week.
Hot Toys fans should be thrilled with our next two items with Hela from Thor: Ragnarok based on Cate Blanchett’s likeness as well as the long-awaited deluxe Gal Gadot Wonder Woman figure from Justice League.
