Samurai Leonardo (Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012)


Heroes in a Half-Shell! And Samurai Armour!


I really enjoyed the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series but was able to resist picking up any of the figures until the final season's "Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" gave us an awesome Usagi Yojimbo figure. 


And since the (nonexistent) toy gods were conspiring against me and I saw all four of the Turtles in their Samurai gear at once I scooped them up which gave me enough of a "completion" vibe to satiate the collector lust. The articulation is better than the original TMNT figures from the 90's but not to the level of say Marvel Legends or other larger scale figures. But they are a fun little slice of nouveau nostalgia (patent pending). 






The face of a dragon...





Pretty impressive detailing on the armour.



Tiny turtle toesies.




That's intricate for a non-collector line.










They must've helped each other suit up.



Smile Leo!

Crest.



There he is!




I believe the technical name for this type of blade is "big-ass sword."



Slice...

...and dice!



Look out you're helmet's in your eyes!

Decent balance.


Battling with honour!





Bushido Buddies!
