PORTRAIT OF ARCTIC DONATELLO
The Frosty Frozen Foot Fighter!

Arctic Donatello’s Accessories:
Real Workin’ Ice Water Shootin’ Blaster, Ice Poppin’ Penguin Pal, Anti-slip Snow Shoes, Ice Pick Bo, Gold Metalized Kowabunga Collector Coin

On the barren, frozen wasteland known as the Turtle tundra, there stands only one Mutant – Arctic Donatello. This is his element – this block of unforgiving ice where every direction you turn is south; this is where he lives out the adventure of a lifetime. Like his brothers, Safari Michaelangelo and Deep Sea Diver Leonardo, Artic Donatello is searchin’ for the lost gold coin that bears the name “Kowabunga Collector Coin.” Artic Donatello, along with his trusty ice poppin’ penguin pal, shuffles through the slushy snow in the only good pair of anti-slip snow shoes north of Alaska. And if any frozen Foot fools show up for a battle on the ice, Donatello will stop ’em cold with a blast of water from his real workin’ ice water shootin’ blaster. Then, with a few swings of his ice pick bo, Arctic Donatello sends them on their way – south. So dress warm and put on some extra socks, cuz it’s your turn to join the adventure!

DARK HORSE COMICS::   "Flaming Carrot" Action Figure i (( 1999 ))

–>> Tokka has misplaced Carrot’s 2 little, unimpressive ‘stink-bombs’. I still have ’em, i just couldn’t locate ’em in time before shooting.

Wingnut’s grenade is just a placeholder for the display in lieu of the missing bombs.

**From the official Flaming Carrot site and based off what little i recall, after many delays and production issues ( and much frustration from Bob & his fans ), Carrot was moved over to Dark Horse from Antarctic for release at the very tail end of the 1990s.

 

DARK HORSE COMICS::   "Flaming Carrot" Action Figure // ..ebay pic  (( 1999 ))The scale was also increased from the planned 4″ to 6″ maybe to keep up with the trend for these “Marvel Legend” scaled figures put out by smaller toy companies. A trend that seemed to be really popular during this little window of time.

Flaming Carrot Action Figure

“Ut! One of the original members of Bob Burden’s Mysterymen is coming to life as an action figure. We have secured the rights to this previously-announced but never produced action figure. We have expanded the size from the former 4 inches to a more dynamic 6 inches, but retained the amazing accoutrements such as the atomic pogo stick, stink bomb and of course the astounding light-up “flame” effect at the top of the carrot’s head. Packed on a colorful backing board with genuine plastic blister-bubble, this pvc powerhouse is springing your way in October.

–>> Purchased to replace an original 2008 NECA Leo which after too much play, fell into disrepair and now is fodder for Customs.

NECA TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: "LEONARDO"  Tube Pack iii  (( 2008 ))NECA TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: "LEONARDO"  Tube Pack v  (( 2008 ))
The packaged tube was sent in less than stellar condition and was a bit smooshed which is fine because i bought this one to open anyway.

NECA TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: "LEONARDO"  Tube Pack vi  (( 2008 ))

The ironic thing is that for the past 4 years Tokka’s been trying to track down one of the “TUBE” pack Turtles just to have one to keep in package.

NECA TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: "LEONARDO"  Tube Pack viii  (( 2008 ))

They did not sell these locally in my area ( well except by special order thru’ the comic shop, and you had to order by the case ).

O well. Wasn’t meant to be.

It seems the paint on Leo .. particularly his plastron appears slightly more vibrant than on the carded versions purchased years back.

Arguably the best comic Turtle figures ever created ( some say the best overall TMNT toys of all time ).

NECA TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: "LEONARDO"  Tube Pack xviii (( 2008 ))NECA TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: "LEONARDO"  Tube Pack xix (( 2008 ))

i’m a little jaded about the topic at this point after trying to remain optimistic about this line, i.e. series 2 ( Shredder and Foot ) and beyond. Guess Tokka was delusional.

NECA TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: "LEONARDO"  Tube Pack xx (( 2008 ))NECA TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: "LEONARDO"  Tube Pack xii (( 2008 ))

After 4 years now, we are on the dawn of new TMNT T.V. show toys, and a new wave of collector toys ..particularly focusing, at least initially on the classic cartoon show as you may know.

NECA TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: "LEONARDO"  Tube Pack xv (( 2008 ))It appears NECA has given up on the TURTLES all together, and it’s likely that no more TMNT comic figures will be put out by them. I feel pretty sad even after they told me directly that they still had the license after the Viacom transition. So hardcore Turtle Toy fans like my friend Vaughn were right, this is it.

NECA TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: "LEONARDO"  Tube Pack xxii (( 2008 ))

With Playmates back at the controls entirely of all TMNT figures, they will really have to ratchet it up to mark the quality of the NECA line in their upcoming collector line.

The price on those toys coming out in the fall will be a little higher similar to the effect of MARVEL LEGENDS, so they just might be at a higher quality point. That’s more than likely a good thing, fingers crossed.
