From the Archives: Donatello (1990 film)

Recommended music: Kool And The Gang – Too Hot

Don’t look away, it’s #TurtleTuesday! Today from the archives, we’ve got the NECA Toys Donatello!

This version of Donatello is based on the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live-action film. While it’s hot outside, Donny keeps his cool in the sewer.

This is a great-looking modern figure, with paint deco far surpassing anything movie-related from the vintage TMNT line. Several NECA rereleases and accessory sets include additional heads, ensuring your turtle has the right facial expression to take on the Foot Clan.

Leonardo (Musical Mutagen Tour)

Recommended music: Djabe – Turtle Trek

On this #TurtleTuesday, let’s take a look at yet another NECA Toys Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Leonardo!

Today, I am featuring the Musical Mutagen Tour Leonardo figure, which is inspired by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Coming Out Of Their Shells studio album and concert tour. The tour was performed throughout the United States from 1990 to 1991 and internationally in 1992. NECA Toys likely could not secure the rights to the original tour name, but the alternative title is equally effective.

This version of Leonardo features a denim jacket, knee pads, and leg warmers. The figure also incorporates a motif resembling the Starfleet Insignia from Star Trek, which appears on his belt, in the shape of his electric guitar, and as a small accessory that attaches decoratively to his eye socket.

Although I did not have the opportunity to attend the tour in person or own the VHS as a child, I did possess the album on cassette, which was widely available at Pizza Hut locations, the tour’s primary sponsor.
