NECA has finally put up new TMNT pre-orders that were first to market at Target and NECA Store. One of which is the continuation of their incredible Mirage Comcis-inspired wave, bringing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles back to their original and darker comic book roots. Collectors will be entering the sewer for their next release as one of the largest figures in NECA's TMNT Mirage Comics collection has arrived. In the original Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book run, Leatherhead is a tragic and complex character. Originally an ordinary alligator, he would go on to mutate after being exposed to mutagen and gaining enhanced intelligence and immense strength. Unlike later versions, Mirage's Leatherhead is more of a misunderstood anti-hero rather than a villain.

This gator would even sometimes find himself teaming up with the Turtles to take down the Foot Clan, but also succumbing to his more violent instincts. Leatherhead is now back and ready to slay with an impressive figure with cel-shading deco and a standing 7" tall. He will come with swappable hands, a secondary head, along with window packaging featuring original artwork by Kevin Eastman. LEatherhead is priced at $54.99, he is set for a May 2025 release, and pre-orders are live at most online retailers.
