TMNT Mutations Mix 'N Match Splinter, Metalhead, Mechazoid, and Bishop Mech

 

I recently stumbled upon a Splinter from the Playmates TMNT Mutant Mayhem line, this one the Mutations Mix and Match subseries at Target, and soon thereafter found Metalhead, Mechazoid, and the Bishop Mech at Walmart for two bucks less on sale for $7.97 each. I have no experience/knowledge of the mechs in this lineup, but they looked really fun, and I wanted a Splinter for my Mutant Mayhem Turtles.

These figures came with a pile of mix 'n match parts that turned out to be fun to play with! I was only sorry to realize the parts were not interchangeable with my other Mutant Mahem figures, and they can sometimes be a challenge to stand. Regardless, I'm considering picking up the mix 'n match Turtles, even if just for another slightly variant set.

Metalhead has a pizza party with Party Wallop in the arcade!

Of course, I had to photograph Metalhead with my MOTU Turtles of Grayskull Metal-Boto!

And finally, Splinter with my MOTU Turtles of Grayskull Splinter-Skull ....!

I had a lot of fun with these mix 'n match figures and could see myself getting more- Playmates offers a lot of play value for the price of these, from south of eight to ten bucks. Any kid is going to have fun with these, this kid certainly did! Below Splinter with a turtle figure I got in a Kinder Joy treat awhile back- and a hint about my next post! Stay tuned, Turtles!

TMNT Mutant Mayhem- Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello (2023)

 

Walmart and Target have carried this TMNT Mutant Mayhem line consistently the last couple years, this basic four set from '23. For some time I've been considering another set of Turtles, while diving into Mattel's Turtles of Grayskull mashup, and more recently picking up a couple premium TMNT toys. I'm not familiar with the animated movie and subsequent TV show these are related to, but the accessories, including adorable baby turtles for eight bucks on Walmart.com. I like that they sent it in its shipper inside the outer cardboard box- clean sample:

Not only do they come with the traditional snap-off accessory rack, but separate, painted weapon accessories- for three of them anyway. (And the aforementioned baby turtles!) They all can stow weapons in the belts strapped on their shells. The articulation isn't Marvel Legends, but they can be posed- I had fun with them! As many times as I passed them by, I like their cartoony aesthetic and distinct build and color from one another. The expressions on their faces are funny! Donatello's glasses, headphones, and fanny pack can all be unpegged if you want a more straight-ahead look for them all together.

Together in some arcade back in the '80s is where these Turtles look like they belong! Again, was never a hardcore TMNT guy, but these figures feel like they retained some of the original '87 animated vibe, but you tell me...

I think Mutant Mayhem Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo 

are super-fun battling the Loyal Subjects Android Body Krang!

Party Wallop and Leonardo could make quite the fighting pair, yeah ...??

And finally, below, the Mutant Mayhem Turtles with my other set of Nickelodeon Turtles, based on their third 2012-2017 Nickelodeon show. I love the stylization of these figures with their whited-out eyes! I haven't seen the 2023 Mutant Mayhem computer animated movie, which looks cool, nor the subsequent animated TV show, Tales of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but I like these Mutant Mayhem Turtles!

More Later- Make It FUN!
