Also, on this #TurtleTuesday post from the archives, we’re looking at the NECA Toys Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Spirit of Splinter!
This version of Master Splinter is based on his look in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990 live-action film. He is likely the rarest piece in my TMNT collection, as the figure was a Loot Crate subscription exclusive, and NECA really knocked the ball out of the park with this release. Splinter has some transparent parts, a shimmering robe, a light-up campfire, and even some marshmallows, both in a bag and on a stick, as accessories.
While the character has nothing to do with Christmas, I thought it would be a good time to share him as Splinter appears in “spirit form” to the turtles in the film after he has been kidnapped by the Foot Clan and they have retreated to April’s family farm on the outskirts of the city.
[Since the time of this original post, NECA has repacked this version of Splinter in a 5-pack with the turtles. While he is no longer an “exclusive” figure, he is still a favorite of mine from the line.]
