The collection of Ninja Turtles figures is a very large collection with hundreds of figures, there was a “basic” line of figures based on the characters of the animated series that you can see here: TMNT Basic Figures.
At the same time, sub-lines were released with more figures that had in common some thematic or “Action-feature”, here we review all these figures that are also part of the vintage collection…
The Wacky Action figures are a sub-line within the collection, a series of figures with various characters that have a particular “action-feature” that makes some kind of movement when wound up. The first wacky action figures were released in 1989 and over the next couple of years more figures were released until there were 9 figures with this typical wind-up toy functionality.
Here we have a sub-line with 6 figures of the turtles in their most sporty version, dressed as players of 6 different sports.
The Rock’N Rollin sub-line consists of four figures of the protagonist turtles in different outfits of different musical styles. Later on, the Rock ‘N’ Roll Muta-Bus a vehicle that became a stage and perfectly complemented these figures.
This sub-line consists of two waves with a total of 10 figures in which the characters are dressed with the military theme.
