–>> ** The first 4 editions of this figure are sold out on MONDO’s shop site & need to be purchased 3rd party at this point.
In 1983, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird were doodling on napkins, playing around with an idea that initially began as a joke. Little did they know what started as a sketch, would turn into the phenomena known as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Mondo is proud to honor the history of the Turtles with a figure based on the very first illustration of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, as drawn by Kevin Eastman. Featuring 5 points of articulation, and illustration-accurate details, The First Turtle is perfect for TMNT and comic history fans alike!
This version features a color paint scheme with an orange mask.
Note: This item is a PRE-ORDER and is estimated to ship the 4th Quarter of 2015.
material: PVC
size: Approx. 6.5″
“I can not think of a better way to honor and celebrate the ART of the medium we all work in. ..A special event, in a gallery setting created for our ART, while raising money to help the ARTISTS in need who originally inspired us!” — Kevin Eastman

You may remember Langdon Foss’s IDW TMNT #20 Cover – Bobby, Tom and crew incorporated Langdon’s “KRANG MECH” design on the cover into the story-line of Krang’s war with the Neutrinos as the giant robotic-holographic BRAIN-Beast attacked Zak & the Turtles.
Foss’s design is now has been utilized in last week’s TMNT:MUTANTS IN MANHATTAN big video game release & is now known as MEGA KRANG !!

My artist buddy Timothy Lim (Ninjaink) and I have done some officially licensed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles t-shirts and merch designs before, but this is our first foray into the TMNT comics! This is our variant cover for TMNT: Bebop & Rocksteady Destroy Everything! #1.We did this as a joint venture with Heroes & Fantasies (San Antonio’s largest comic shop) and the Palladium IMAX theater (hence the movie parody; you can guess the source material). The cover will be released on June 1st. Tim will be at the Palladium IMAX in San Antonio on June 4th for a signing, coinciding with the release of TMNT: Out of the Shadows. (Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts, I won’t be able to make the signing.)If you can’t make it to Heroes & Fantasies or the Palladium IMAX, then Tim will be selling copies directly via the Ninjaink Facebook page. Just shoot him a PM and he can hook you up.
It was a lot of fun; thanks to the guys at IDW and Nickelodeon who approved the design and were such good sports for the parody! — Mark Pellegrini
–>> **David Arshawsky**, one of the most noted, and unique sculptors of the classic ( and even 2003 era ) TMNT line recently shared a “lost” extension of his ANAGLYPH Sculpture, early 1990s run of the popular and BIG-TIME TMNT “MEGA MUTANTS” vehicle/figures. What follows the 2up and Resin clay sculpt of the would-be toy are the “ARMY ANT’S” designs and alternate takes before what was actually sculpted came into being !!
No ship is safe from sinking in the sewers without Midshipman Mike. He’s the salty sewer sailor who can swim, swashbuckle and swab the deck – all without getting his “duds” dirty! This briny battle boy is ready for high sea adventure. Mike will paddle the punks and send ’em all straight to Davy Jones’ locker. Yes, the waterways will always be sewer safe as long as Midshipman Mike’s on the deck. So, ahoy you mutant mateys and don’t make waves, make way… for Midshipman Mike!
