Recommended music: Figure – Cowabunga
For this #TurtleTuesday post from the archives, we’ve got another NECA Toys Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Foot Soldier!
This orange version of the Foot Soldier figure is based on its appearance 1989 Konami Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Arcade Game. Even though it is not a completely accurate head sculpt for the foot soldiers, I like the pixelated paint work on these guys, and the orange version is no exception. This variant shows up early in the game to throw ninja stars, AKA shuriken, at our hero turtles and comes back in level four ‘Parking Garage’ (or level five if you’re playing on NES with the added ‘Snowy Central Park’ level) right after a large sedan pulls out, taking out anyone in its path.
While the ninja star orange soldiers are easy to take out, the machine gun versions are a bit harder, being able to shoot a spray of bullets from a long distance, and can gun-butt the turtles when up close. Usually, a jump kick or special attack will take out this common enemy without too much effort.
