IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic series is a series that rarely gets collectibles even though its been a main TMNT source for years. The Loyal Subjects have been slowly bringing heroes and villains from this comic run to life, and now so is Gentle Giant Ltd. They are giving new life to a dark version of the turtles, and Dark Leonardo is back with a new Legends in 3D Bust. In the IDW TMNT series, there was the "City Fall" storyline, which featured a dramatic transformation for Leonardo, the leader of the Turtles. The story arc begins with the Shredder and the Foot Clan who have orchestrated a power play in New York City.

After this play, Leonardo is captured and subjected him to brainwashing by the witch Kitsune. This leads him to a darker path as his memories are manipulated, turning him into Dark Leonardo, the new ruthless and loyal lieutenant of the Foot Clan. Leo will have to overcome this bewitching nature to come back to his family, but for now, collectors get to bring him home. Limited to only 1000 pieces, Dark Leo stands 10" tall and shows off a bust with his Foot Clan gear with a black mask. This is a unique collector for TMNT fans, and it is priced at $200; it is set for a Q2 2025 release, and pre-orders are already live.
