It would seem the dreadful alien warlord from Fred Wolf's Red Sky seasons will be taking the reigns once more, 20 years later!

Zulithe discovered the listings for Playmates upcoming figures (such as the recently revealed Fugitoid, Mozar, etc) & alongside them was none other than Lord Dregg!

Here's a blurb from the link-

The fearsome 4-armed Ruler of Planet Sectoid, Lord Vringath Dregg, is Lord of all insect life in the universe. He is the most vicious alien gangster in the galaxy and has the fighting power to back it up. With a mouth full of fangs, spider hands that shoot webs, robug servants, and a battle mode that equips him with a battle mask, electro blaster and chest rocket, Lord Dregg is one ruler that should not tested. When the Turtles made the mistake of challenging Lord Dregg and destroying some of his robug servants, Lord Dregg set out on a new mission, eliminate the Turtles!

4 arms, spider hands, chest rockets? Seems we may be in for quite the re-design! I'm super psyched for this. I've longed for his inclusion!

With all of the talk of Lord Dregg having four arms, living on Planet Sectoid, and being the Lord of all insect life in the universe, it kind of reminds me of Maligna from the Archie comics. She was a lot more insectoid in design and she had four arms. I do like my Archie TMNTA after all!

I was thinking the same thing. Would be cool if they were a couple. The king & queen of all insect life throughout the galaxy. :tcool:

I am really not looking forward to Lord Dregg, because that means one more OT character on the show to reinvent.

Knowing Lazymates the Lord Dregg Figure won't be as cool as his actual character on the show.

When was Lord Dregg an insect? I don't remember him being bug-like.

You're not gonna start whining like you did with Rocksteady being Russian, are you?

All I gotta say is... Raph's gonna love that.

He'll be having nightmares for the rest of the series.

Or with Hun being a slender Chinese American with black hair?

Cool to know I'm not the only one thinking that. Yeah and if they were a couple, I'm sure for a lot of us original cartoon fans, that would then remind us of Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Ya read my mind when it comes to mmpr. haha

I look forward to this new incarnation of Dregg. Yeah, it would be cool if they utilized Maligna. I'm pumped for the episodes already. Just beam them directly into my brain, please. Yeesh, I don't envy Raph after reading this.

Dregg ain't my favorite....BUT...I love Maligna. So if I have to endure Dregg to get Queen Maligna....Ok...I guess. :P

What if his face is blue-grey? Or blue-green? Is that still ok? :tlol:

He should at least resemble the old character in some form, or else why give him the same name? They give him 4 arms and made him more vicious, but if he's not blue why used a name of an obscure character only die-hard TMNT fans would even remember?

I'm excited. Hype level 100%

Now I'm thinking about that line by Spiderbytes in s2 when he's captured by the Kraang. "I know bugs in high places!" Probably just a throwaway line but that got me more excited after re-watching this particular episode earlier.

Four arms? Why do I sense a Mortal Kombat homage coming?

I wonder if the "robug servants" will resemble (or led by) Skul & Bean, especially if there is indeed a Queen Maligna!

He's probably going to have the Technogang.

If this series will include Lord Dregg, maybe Corey Burton will voice him. That guy's voice is similar to the late Tony Jay's. You should have played Batman: Arkham City and Kingdom Hearts 3D.

Yes, Burton would rock hard. I've loved listening to that guy since discovering Transformers G1 in the early 90s. Dude can sound very menacing when he needs to. I loved his Hugo Strange. He'd make a great Dregg. Tony Todd could also make a pretty mean Dregg if the Nick crew are still asking horror movie celebs to do voice work.

Even with this design change I'm really happy they're including Dregg.
I hope Mung and Hi-Tech will be included as well.
Mung is probably one of my favorite old toon characters.:D

I loved Dregg, nice to see his return. I hope he makes a grand entrance. Like snuffing out the Krang, and pretty much being a bigger badder Alien invasion.


I loved Rita in the old power rangers, but when Lord Z came in and deposed of Rita like that took over, that show me, the Rangers were dealing with a larger threat.

I think the old Dregg was perhaps a bigger threat than the current Krang imo. I hope he is mean, nasty and scary.

So Dregg will reappear in the new Cartoon? Bummer...i hated this guy with a Passion but maybe they give him a nice new redesign and a bit more character as his OT Counterpart...
