About this deal

Certainly not vital characters to my collection by any stretch of the imagination, but they're cute enough. While this is not a TMNT release, a turtles ally is back with an impressive and very limited edition figure.

Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. Welcome to Action Figure News and Reviews from Mephitsu, the home of Action Figure News and Reviews from Hasbro, NECA, Mezco, McFarlane, Funko, Diamond Select and More. I always learned that when it comes to words ending in "o," you pluralize living things by adding "-es" (tomatoes, grottos) but you only add "-s" to non-living things (radios, Cheerios). This highly detailed figure captures the iconic look of Space Usagi in all his black and white glory. The elbows get a 90 degree bend and the knees get about 45 degrees, probably due to the thickness of the outfit and the shortness of the limbs in question.However, multiple versions are offered with autographs, remarques, and even sketches right on the box. I did that for the first two photos below, but I do like the look of the elastic hidden under the upper torso piece better, so that’s what I did for the rest of the pictures in this review.

Speaking of disguises, Usagi comes with a hooded robe with a loose piece of elastic to tie it closed along with two heads (stern and extra stern), two sets of ears (up or down) three sets of hands (fist, grip, and open) Katar (triangular knife), Kunai (throwing knife), two swords (Wakizashi and Katana), sword sheathes, a loop of elastic for the sheathes, a hat, and a Tokage (lizard). I recommend grasping the up-pointing ears by the base, since mine came separated where the ears meet the base, and I had to glue them back together. Thi s deluxe box set includes four versions of the warrior with all new deco along with a wide variety of accessories inspired by the classic comic book series, all w ra p ped up in a collectible box with gold foil embellishments. The pack will feature four distinct versions of the Rabbit Ronin with alternative hands, accessories, and weapons. Usagi Yojimbo is one of my favorite comics, I love his team-ups with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and the prototype looked so killer, making this guy my most anticipated figure of the year.A collector sub devoted to everything to do with NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures - All collectors welcome. Originally I thought they just wanted the rights to Usagi for TMNT, but it does say they licensed the comic series.

They also come with two smaller characters, namely the Grybyx from the episode of the same name (he looks like Gizmo from the Gremlins movie and Q-Bert had an offspring together) and Tribble, the baby Neutrino from "Four Turtles and a Baby. Historian, Air Force Veteran, and dedicated collector of Mezco Toyz, Marvel Legends, and is obsessed with Star Wars.The cloak has a wire embedded in the hood to help you position it as you desire, and it comes with a cloth belt so you can tie it shut. Includes hat, cloak, tokage, katana, wakizashi, katar, kunai, and interchangeable heads, ears and hands!

It has been a pretty incredible weekend for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans, with a massive drop from multiple companies.It works well on the alternate flattened ears for a traveling look and I’m impressed at how crisp the black painted detail lines are on this accessory. These 7” scale action figures are fresh from the pages of the comics and fully articulated for great poses. Zak the Neutrino got a Playmates action figure in 1990 which substantially redesigned his look, and it got a reissue in different colors as part of the Toon Turtles assortment along with a more accurate Dask and Kala in 1992, but the colors were still all over the place. I personally really like the extra bit of detailed fur sculpting in these figures even though you don’t really see that level in detail on the show. His Playmates version was sculpted pretty accurately, but they gave his costume way more purple than it needed, and he had this perpetually angry scowl.
