NECA TMNT Target Two-Pack Leonardo

Today we will be taking a look at Leonardo from the Target exclusive TMNT two-pack from NECA.

This two-pack is the same figures that were released last year in the SDCC 8 pack and has caused some controversy in the collecting world.

Packaging:

Before we open this up, let's take a look at the packaging.

Leo and Shredder come in the same two-pack that the rest of the figures come in. The top of the box has Leo and Shredder’s name at the top. Leo and Shredder are clearly displayed in the middle. The bottom has some artwork of both Leo and Shredder.

Turning the box to the side you get a nice look at Leo in an action pose.

The back of the box gives you a little back story on the turtles, After being accidentally exposed to radioactive ooze, four ordinary household pets are transformed into a band of wisecracking, pizza-loving, villain-dicing adolescent reptiles! Meet Leonardo the super-cool, sword-wielding leader… Raphael, the jokester, hurling manholes and one-liners in rapid succession… Donatello, the brain behind the brawn… and Michelangelo, the ice cream, pizza gobbling party animal. Whether it’s facing fierce enemies or saving humanity from near extinction, with the guidance of their sensei, these heroes in a Half Shell are always ready for straight outta the sewer action! Below that you get a look at the other 3 two-packs, to the left we get a look at Leo and Shredder fighting one another.

Turning the box to the other side you have a nice look at Shredder in an action pose.

Outside of the Box:

Let's open the box and take a closer look at the figure.

Taking Leo out of the box we get a very good look at the paint job. on the side of the figure, you can see the different colors of paint they used. The different color was a nice touch to make it look like he is out of the cartoon.

Accessories:

Let's see what kind of accessories the figure comes with.

Leo comes with his Katana, a closed communicator, and a pair on open palm hands.

Articulation:

How can we pose the figure? Let's find out!

Leonardo's articulation includes the following:

Ball Hinged Shoulders - gives the arm 360-degree rotation and also the ability to raise and lower the arm.

Upper Bicep Swivel - This cut lets you turn the whole arm below the cut 360-degrees.

Single Jointed Elbows - this gets you just about a 90-degree bend.

Swivel Hinge Wrists - allows you to turn his wrists in a full 360-degree circle while also bending them up and down.

Ball Jointed Legs - with this it allows the legs to move out to the side along with some front and back motion.

Upper Thigh Swivel - the leg can rotate around a full 360 degrees.

Double Jointed Knees - joint allows you to bend the leg itself back to the butt of the figure.

Rating:

What are Baby Huey's scores for the figure?

Paint Job 5/5

The paint job on the figures is so well done, I really have nothing to complain about

Figure Sculpt / Posing 4/5

The sculpt works so well with the turtles, You can get them into just about any pose you want. My only issue is that my Leo’s left foot is a little shorter than his right, so it’s hard to get him to stand up straight at times.

Durability 4/5

While the figures look amazing, sometimes moving them it does feel like they will break. Getting the swords in and out of his back I really feel like they will snap on me.

Overall Score 2.6/5

I do like the set a lot, I just fear how durable they can be.

Retail Cost: $49.99

You can only pick the set up at TARGET!

Time for some Toying Around!!
