The first 'news' relating to NECA's release of Leonardo, the Dark Turtle, in their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IDW series was back in November 2024. The figure is now on the release schedule in the final week of Haulathon 2025, exclusive to Target in the US and the Haulathon website internationally, at least on a 'first-to-market' agreement.



Dark Leonardo will come with alternative hands, his sword, mace, and a mind control mask that is compatible and fits onto the other NECA TMNT Turtles. The figure is packed into an Ultimate format box with an opening front cover and also includes an additional cardboard diorama background piece that will slot into Donatello's Portal Generator (sold separately).



Also arriving in the final week of Haulathon is the Mirage Comics TMNT Foot Assassin, now in classic colours. The figure has already featured as a black and white edition for Haulathon 2025 as well as a red & black edition in 2025. This latest release will feature the Assassin with two head options, alternative hands, weapon selection and a timebomb. It comes in the Mirage Comics window box.


We've added Dark Leonardo and the Foot Assassin to our extensive NECA Collector Database



Leonardo journeyed through Donatello’s portal and came back a changed turtle, now loyal to The Shredder and the Foot Clan. Appearing in issue #20 of IDW’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures comic and designed in house by NECA, this 7-inch scale Dark Leonardo action figure is ready to join your collection! Accessories include sword, mace, and mind control mask that fits the other turtles (sold separately). Comes in collector-friendly packaging.



Based on the original Eastman & Laird Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic books from Mirage Studios! From the “City at War” storyline, this Foot Assassin stands in 7-inch scale and includes extra hands, alternate heads, timebomb, ninja weapons, and removable cape! Comes in collector-friendly packaging with original box art by Kevin Eastman.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. 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. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
