For this #TurtleTuesday post from the archives, we’ve got another NECA Toys Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Foot Soldier!
This Foot Soldier figure is based on its appearance from the 1991 video game ‘Turtles in Time.’ The pixelated deco really works well for the foot soldiers and is supposed to depict their look from the level “Neon Night Riders,” which takes place in the distant future year of 2020. 😄
For the home console ports, most of this level was a 3rd person view where Foot Soldiers come right at the screen, but the end of the level versus Krang’s android body (and the entire arcade version of the level) is side-scrolling with both the turtles and Foot Soldiers on hover boards.
Like the turtle’s figure releases, the hoverboard design does not match the game. It uses a surfboard design versus the more disc-like design from the actual video game. It is not a huge deal. However, it takes up unnecessary space on the collection shelf. Some coordination is involved in getting your flying turtles to get up close to your flying feet. 😛 Thankfully, the release also includes a sword and a ray gun for some variety.
