Kala the Neutrino

Recommended music: Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers – Learning To Fly

Rise and shine, Shellheads; it’s #TurtleTuesday! Today, we’ve got another fun character from the 1987 animated series. It’s the NECA: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Kala!

Like the other Neutrinos, I was excited when NECA finally announced they were making this figure for their cartoon line. The sculpt and paint on this figure are very accurate. The included accessories were just a bonus. They even replicated the wacky hairdo. Unfortunately, Kala’s dainty feet make it very easy to fall over, even with the included stand and hoverboard.

The character actually shows up in six episodes of the classic animated series. Throughout these appearances, she has the strongest bond with Michelangelo of all the turtles. Their relationship reaches a pivotal moment at the end of the Neutrino’s second episode, “Teenagers from Dimension X,” wherein Mikey gifts the smitten Kala “a real earth-pizza.”😛
