NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Stump Wrestling Turtles 4-Pack: A Closer Look

So, we’ve got some exciting latest toy news from NECA that’s got TMNT fans buzzing: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Stump Wrestling Turtles 4-Pack! If you’re like me and have a soft spot for the wacky, offbeat corners of the TMNT universe, this set is a real treat. Let’s break down what makes these figures stand out and why you might want to add them to your collection.

The Intergalactic Wrestling Extravaganza

First, let’s set the stage. For those who don’t know, Intergalactic Wrestling is a fictional professional wrestling circuit set on the Stump Asteroid. This bonkers universe comes straight from the Archie TMNT comics, where our favorite turtles don wild wrestling gear and battle it out in the most bizarre and fantastical matches you could imagine. It’s like WWE, but with mutants, aliens, and, of course, our beloved turtles. You can dive deeper into the wacky world of Intergalactic Wrestling here.

NECA Brings the Madness to Stump Wrestling Turtles

NECA has really leaned into the charm of these comic book storylines with the Stump Wrestling Turtles 4-Pack. The set includes Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael, each in their distinct wrestling outfits. From the detailed sculpts to the unique accessories, these figures capture that mix of campiness and action that fans of the Archie TMNT comics love.

Just look at the photos that have been released! Each figure is decked out in their classic wrestling gear — think fringed boots, star-studded masks, and championship belts. NECA nailed the colours and the overall vibe. Leonardo looks like he’s ready to body slam you through a space table, while Raphael’s “come at me, bro” stance is perfect for display. Plus, the figures come with alternate hands, so you can swap poses to create some dynamic action scenes. I’m already imagining setting these up with my other TMNT figures — maybe even a tag team with the recently covered NECA Cryin’ Houn Deluxe Figure!

The Articulation and Detail: NECA’s Winning Formula

NECA has a reputation for its high-quality sculpting and paintwork, and they don’t disappoint here. The texture on each turtle’s skin, the wear on their gear, and even the tiny details on their accessories scream authenticity. You can practically hear the crowd roaring from the stands of the Stump Asteroid Wrestling Arena. But what really sets these figures apart is the articulation. I’m talking about all the articulation you need to pull off that suplex or make the perfect mid-air dropkick.

If you’re a TMNT fan, you know that NECA has been hitting home runs with their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line, from the comic-based figures to the animated series classics. Just like the Black and White Original Sketch Comic Figures, this 4-pack brings a different flavour to the TMNT figure roster, showing NECA’s commitment to covering every corner of the turtles’ universe.

Is It Worth Adding to Your Collection?

Now, let’s get down to it: Is the NECA Stump Wrestling Turtles 4-Pack worth your hard-earned cash? If you’re a die-hard fan of the Archie Comics era or just love the more obscure parts of the TMNT lore, I’d say this is a no-brainer. The figures are colourful, expressive, and packed with that retro wrestling style that makes them pop on any shelf. However, if you’re more into the classic cartoon or the modern TMNT look, you might find these a bit too niche.

Personally, I’m sold on the creativity and the nostalgia. I love how these figures aren’t afraid to embrace the weirdness of the TMNT universe. Plus, they offer a lot of display potential, especially if you’ve got other TMNT figures ready to jump into the ring. This set is a love letter to fans who appreciate the deep cuts and quirky stories from the turtles’ past.
