Playmates has opened pre-orders for the TMNT x G.I. Joe Donatello as Dial-Tone figure at $17.99 for Q3 2026.

The brains of the Heroes in a Half Shell are officially reporting for duty as Donatello joins the TMNT x G.I. Joe crossover. The Real Reptilian Heroes are gaining a new communications specialist, as Donny has combined with Dial-Tone to create a delightful new figure. Standing at roughly 4.5" tall, this new mash-up figure combines Donnie's tech genius and gadget-heavy personality with the classic military aesthetic that the G.I. Joe franchise always delivers.

The figure features highly detailed sculpting, 23 points of articulation, and Donny's signature purple deco, adding to Dial-Tone's style with an iconic beret and, of course, his legendary mustache. The fun does not stop there as Donny-Tone is ready to take down Shredder Commander with his specialized accessories like the Anti-sewer-scramblin' staff and steel shell-pack. Playmates did a great job with this figure, and he looks like he walked straight out of a forgotten 1980s cartoon crossover special. Pre-orders for this new TMNT x G.I. Joe crossover are already live for $17.99 with a !3 2026 release.
