Go ninja! Go ninja, go! Playmates has added Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo from the 1990 live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie to their TMNT Classics line. Although this was not confirmed by Playmates representatives at Toy Fair, I’m giving kudos to Playmates for what is sizing up to be a big public service. Older fans like you and me will be able to take comfort with these figures, as Michael Bay proceeds to destroy another childhood memory this summer. 😉

While I generally like what they’ve done with these figures, I think with the individualized head sculpts they could have gone a little further, with Raphael in particular. The belts ride high, and some freckles would really cement the paint apps. With the new movie coming out this summer, I get why Playmates would release these – but we really need some Classics Foot Ninjas and Shredder.

  1. They’re cool, but is it just me or do they look like basically very cartoony, with just a dark shade of green applied to their skin?

  4. I’d have to look at the shells. They were very detailed in the movie and these seem kind of bland.
