On this #TurtleTuesday, we’re right in the rat race, and taking a look at the NECA Toys Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mousers!
This set of mousers is based on their look in the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series, and initially was a NECA Store exclusive. The accessory pack comes with seven total mousers, including three in various states of battle damage. It also contains six mice (likely rats), plus another one poking out of a mouser, a slice of pizza, Swiss cheese, and a VHS tape.
One last accessory is the “Tubular Transport.” This little Spybot is seen in the third episode of the 1987 TMNT animated series, “A Thing About Rats.” In the episode, Shredder is actually the one who uses these tiny robotic helicopters to seek out Baxter Stockman and his mouser inventions. The mosquito-like devices appeared in the TMNT arcade game from Konami just a couple of years later.
I was pretty pleased with this release from NECA, as the amount of mousers and rats is certainly enough to set up a good scene reminiscent of the animated series. The ample amount of articulation also allows you to pose them in a variety of ways, as seen in the cartoon.
