NECA Archie Comics 5th Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Figure Tease

[toynewman]

NECA has teased an upcoming Archie Comics Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle 5th Turtle Figure in their April Takeover!

"On today’s #TurtleTuesday we ask the question… who is the mysterious 5th Turtle? (More of a rhetorical question, really – it’s #AprilsAprilTakeover after all.) If you remember a certain TMNT Adventures Winter Special you’ll even be able to guess at some of the special edition accessories she’ll come with! This will be another all-new sculpt with tons of detail from the comic.
More details to come soon - see you next week for another reveal!"

Man the marketing team is just having fun with this one.  Love it.

I always thought that when April turned into a Turtle in these comics it was super weird, she just fully became a dude, lost any elements of her body that would indicate she was a female, it's pretty wild they dug into the Archie comics enough to make a figure of this, I can't remember if she lasted more then 1 issue as a Turtle.

Has there ever been a figure of Venus from the live action tv show?

Not sure, but I would think she’s more interesting than a mutated April…

Other then Playmates not from NECA.

Shown below is the new NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the Fifth Turtle Figure is available for pre-order at TheNECAStore with a suggested retail price of $34.99.

As seen in the Winter 1994 special issue of Eastman and Laird’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comic book series from Archie Comics! Who is the mysterious fifth Turtle? Why, it's none other than April O'Neil! This 7-inch scale NECA action figure features a sword, sheath, and multiple heads and hands for limitless display possibilities! Comes in collector-friendly packaging with artwork by original TMNT Adventures artist Ken Mitchroney.

Not much of a surprise since she was shown at toy fair.

Is this a NECA exclusive or will it be released elsewhere? 

[Jscott991]

I only collect a few cartoon figures (mostly to display around April, the only TMNT character I truly like). But I'm very tempted by this. Something about that white just really pops.

I can't believe they first teased this figure all of the way back in early 2023! and it took this long for the final reveal and pre-order, Super weird.

Anyways it still stands that I always found this odd, like April just turns into a male turtle.

would have been actually cool if she became a Lady turtle in Yellow Bandana.

That's... just the regular Turtle body with a white bandana. Wouldn't April be, you know, feminine in Turtle form? Like Venus? (Btw, when will they ever give her a figure?)

I agree, this doesn't really scream "April" to me, but I like the white and the heads.  Not enough to spend nearly $50 after Neca's shipping, but if this makes it to general release (I suspect it will) and I see it in store I'll grab it.

This is how she looked in the comic.
