Michelangelo (Secret of the Ooze)

Recommended music: Squirrel Nut Zippers – Missing Link

So this #TurtleTuesday, let’s take a look at yet another NECA Toys Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Michelangelo!

This version of Mikey is based on his appearance in the 1991 film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze. As with the other turtle bros, Michelangelo was first available in a San Diego Comic-Con 4-pack containing the turtles and later in a 2-pack with Donatello. The likeness is pretty spot on, and NECA really made this a worthy release, as the paint job reflects the textures on the updated costume from the second movie , and gave us a newly sculpted head as well.

For accessories, Mikey includes his standard nunchucks even though they did not get much use in the film. He also comes with the sausage links that stood in as a less violent version of the ‘chucks, helping to set the tone for the lighthearted sequel by the time the opening credits started. Finally, he comes with a pizza slice, a mostly eaten pizza crust, a pair of alternate hands, an extra forearm for some reason, and a canister of TGRI ooze. All in all, it’s a good addition to any TMNT collection.
