2012 Toy Fair: Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012 Michelangelo Figure Review

For those in attendance at the 2012 New York International Toy Fair, Playmates provided a sneak peek figure from their upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toy line! Join "Pixel Dan" Eardley for an in-depth look at this brand new figure to see what to expect when these new figures hit store shelves this Fall!




Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans both young and old have a lot of cool products from Playmates Toys in 2012 including new basic action figures based on the new CGI-animated series from Nickelodeon Animation Studio. With more than 12 points of articulation, these action figures are some of the most highly detailed and articulated Turtle figures ever made by Playmates Toys. Each turtle figure is uniquely sculpted, with heights ranging from 4.25 inches to 4.75 inches, to capture the individual personalities of the characters from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV show. The line includes the four main turtles, Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo, as well as their sensei, Splinter, and April O’ Neil (Who is a teenager in this new series), their human connection to the surface. Each Turtle is wearing his signature bandana and comes packed with their two core Ninja weapons for hours of Ninja playing excitement. A bonus weapons accessory rack is also included. The Basic Figure line also features characters from The Evil Foot Clan, including Shredder, The Kraang and a Foot Soldier. Each figure is compatible with the entire Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line of vehicles and playsets.

After the initial assortment of characters are released, then we can expect to see figures of such characters like Metalhead, Leatherhead and Baxter Stockman as well as new characters like Dogpound, Fishface and Snakeweed. Look for the first wave of figures to start hitting shelves in August 2012 with a retail price of $7.99-$8.99.
