SOTO Leonardo (Reblog)

Recommended music: White Zombie – Thunder Kiss ’65

It’s another #TurtleTuesday, and since my action figures are still packed and waiting for a new display, I’ll dig up some more old toys from the archives today.

NECA Toys has made plenty of Leonardo figures in its Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line, but this is the only one that looks like the character’s costume from the Secret of the Ooze sequel. At first, I matched this figure with a Def Leppard song just because of the number two, but today I think I’ve found a better fit.

“Thunder Kiss ’65” by White Zombie is a decent match for the NECA Secret of the Ooze Leonardo figure, with its raw, heavy sound of early ’90s pop culture. Zombie’s groove-metal style captures the dark, urban feel of the Jim Henson-era live-action movies. The song’s big basslines, sharp guitar riffs, and horror-rock energy match the TMNT sequel’s mutant chaos.
