1994 Farmer Donatello and his Modern Mutant Tractor

Hello Dear Dromers, back in 1994 and despite the thousands of lawsuits against Playmates after the release of 1993 Farmer Mike (lol) this “all new” Figure and Vehicle came out.

Like its predecessor, we don´t have a whole front toybox art, again Playmates show us an almost complete window toybox front with a couple of small drawings. Fortunately we still have drawings in all the rest of the toybox, and I would dare to say that there are even better than the ones used for 1993 Farmer Mike, love the Shredder cameo inside the barn, the sheep, the harvest, all looked great. By the way, could you imagine a Farmer Shredder? (No, that would be too much).

The vehicle itself was very good indeed, and the figure was also great, both were “all new” sculpt figure and vehicle (thanks Playmates for not doing a repaint job this time), full of details, love the pipe, the bird.

Again, we can say a lot of negative things about it: goofy, campy, a total lack of respect to the original turtles figures, the end of the toyline, franchise abuse, two years in a row lost forever or just an embarrasment to have or buy this. Like I said in 1993 Farmer Mike thread http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=42112, I think this figure and vehicle are also reat in style, colours, sculpt, concept, I cannot say anything against it. Ok, perhaps Playmates were pulling our legs with these variants but I have seen worst Batman The Animated Series variants, believe me.

Farmer Don and his modern Mutant Tractor did not appear in the original tv series but it perfectly could have been introduced in any episode where Donatello decided to just relax in a Farm
I still haven´t found a good review on youtube of Farmer Don and his modern Mutant Tractor

Hope you liked and thanks for reading. What do you think about this vehicle? Nice variant or same ugly mistake? Do you got it? Or do you got both like me?

Any memories you wanna share from where you bought and saw it the very first time?
Thanks for reading and for all your comments and support.
