Eekeez figures
TMNT Eekeez
Hate to promote a competitor, but I had never heard of this line. Seems better than POPs at least and a decent price point. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Produc...nDetails/74405

They came out a few months ago to very little fanfare. They are interesting figures, about the size of a Pop! Vinyl. But with only three characters, you have to really like the Tiki style for these to be very appealing. Plus, they are sort of fragile. When I opened my set, the Leo figure fell less than a foot and hit the table causing the tail to his mask to break.

There's also a Wondercon exclusive Leonardo that exists.
Here's a current eBay listing for one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Wondercon-T...sAAOSwQGZaucBr |

Haha, sorry!
I'm tempted to snag him, but there's other stuff Ive had my eye on so these guys aren't really a priority at the moment...especially for the price. Since the Wondercon exclusive is no longer available through that eBay link...here's another link to see the exclusive Leo Eekeez figure: https://www.comic-con.org/wca/2018/exclusives/foco |

I have always been a big fan of tiki motifs, but these aren't carrying the theme strong enough for me to wanna buy one. They're neat, though. I certainly wouldn't mind being gifted Splinter...

Haha, I'm such a sucker for funny looking merchandise highlighting the TMNT supporting cast. Everybody pumps out stuff featuring the 4 turtles, but Splinter designs are always more memorable to me.

Precisely, stuff like that's not too common. It has gotten better, but there's still a lot of room for improvement in terms of making merch of non-turtle characters.

FYI, that wondercon exclusive black & white Leo popped up on EntertainmentEarth for 14.99 so now I can sleep at night.
