Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mini Ninja Figures

I'd never seen or heard of these guys before, but when I was walking through Asda I spotted them and knew I had to pick a few up!

These are compatible with Lego or Megabloks as they have holes in their feet that fit those pegs. These are just small figures, about an inch big, but they're quite fun!

I picked up 3 bags, each of which comes with a character card, and this is who I got

Dogpound, Metalhead and Shredder! Bit of a shame I didn't get any of the brothers, but these little guys are really quite fun!

No articulation on these little figures, but some nice detail and paint for their size. The lease pleasing is probably Shredder.

No purple paint sadly, but the silver that is used is pretty cool and very shiny.

Dogpound is pretty good looking, and they've given him some nice bulk seeing as he's only small

Sadly, he's bulky but short - just a little taller than Metalhead but much shorter than Shredder.

The detailing and paint is great on Dogpound though! Nice detailing in his face and paint apps on his legs.

Metalhead is my favourite though. I love his yellow paint apps on the detailing, and his shell is great!!

I'd like to try and get the turtles in this style, but that's the joy/curse of blind bag toys!

Glad I got to find these though, especially as I had no idea these were coming!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Metal Head

Firstly, I didn't buy this box all ripped like that. That was me in my excitement of finally getting Metalhead! I almost forgot to photograph him before tearing into the box!!

I've wanted Metalhead for a while. I remember the Metalhead from the original cartoon series and he was incredibly cool, and I love this guy just as much.

Metalhead comes with one accessory which is an energy blast moulded in a solid red plastic. This slots straight into his hand and through his arm. The "action" feature is you can flick the tail of the blast and fire it from Metalhead's hand.

I love this toy, it's so cool! Such a fun sculpt! I really like the new design of Metalhead and this toy nails that look.

He's mostly moulded in a grey plastic but has some yellow moulded details too. The sculpt is great, with his big chunky hands and feet, square head and (my personal favourite) the sewer lid shell! His sculpt also includes the Kraang insignia on the top of his head, wires, nuts & bolts, corrugated pieces of tubing and skull detailing in his knees.

The paint is minimal on Metalhead as the big colour blocks are grey and yellow. However the paint that's used is good. He has two signs on his arms that are really nicely done - these include a yellow arrow and a kind of "danger to skin" red triangle sign. His eyes are painted in as is his yellow "bandana" and he includes some paint to show the wiring in his torso which is also sculpted.

Metalhead's articulation is really what we've come to expect from Playmates non Turtle figures, that is, not too much. His head moves left and right and up down a little bit, his arms move back and forth and there's a swivel at his wrist. No waist articulation, his hips swivel and move back and forth a little, there is also an ankle swivel. For Metalhead though, I guess you don't need much in the way of articulation, and I certainly don't need any for my purposes of displaying him!

All in, I think this is a great figure and a really fun addition to my collection.
