–>> This past week’s Toy Fair was so overwhelmingly of new Ninja Turtle goodies, Tokka .. as usual wanted to go run, hide n’ pull his head into his shell. Snappers can’t really do that tho’ so let’s make up for it by digging our beaks into the dirtiest dirt n’ gossip regarding your favourite heroes’ newest incarnation to be enshrined in plastic.
Via **TNI, and **He-Man.org’s famous PIXEL DAN !! ::
“For those in attendance at the 2012 New York International Toy Fair, Playmates provided a sneak peek figure from their upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toy line! Join “Pixel Dan” Eardley for an in-depth look at this brand new figure to see what to expect when these new figures hit store shelves this Fall!”

Quite happy with that.
No proper chain on the chucks, but colored in is a compromise I’d settle for. Third toe FTW!
I’m worried that Playmates just gave this figure a better paint job than the regular release will have. All of the figures we’ve seen at the shows so far have had no details painted on the skin, and their weapons were all solid colors.
Also, I’m sad that the double jointed knees didn’t cost out. It’s not a huge loss, but I thought that was great additional articulation.
