Playmates Toys' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Monsters + Mutants line is a throwback to the vintage line that was originally released in 1993 that introduced the Turtles as iconic monsters. The original toyline featured Donatello as Dracula, Michelangelo as Frankenstein, Leonardo as The Wolfman, and Raphael as a Mummy. This new line-up for 2017 brings back these classic elements and mixes it up a little, and introduces the Turtles as different Universal monsters this time around that their brother was originally offered as. The line also includes two Monster Hunters, or Val Helsing’s depending on how you look at it, which includes Monster Hunter Leo and Monster Hunter Raph.
This new line-up features Leonardo as The Mummy, Raphael as Dracula, Donatello as Frankenstein, and Michelangelo as The Wolfman. Each of the figures includes accessories designed to work with the monster, and pays tribute to the Turtle character themselves.
Playmates Toys' "Monsters + Mutants" figure line follows the company's popular "Ninja Superstars", featuring a mash-up of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and WWE, and will be joined by "Ninja Ghostbusters", a collection of Ghostbuster-themed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures, which will be released very soon.
