UNDERCOVER LEONARDO!!!!
HELL YES!!!! I'M FINALLY GETTING HIM AFTER YEARS OF SEARCHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't know who undercover leonardo is, well then you don't deserve to live. J/k  Here's some background info on him: Little history of undercovers-- they came out near the end of regular production-- K-mart was the only store that you could get them at, as Toys -R- Us and Walmart had a glut of the sports, rock and roll,etc. and were not buying turtles-- Playmate then starting putting out a lot of different figures and once the prototypes that were made were sold, they switched to another figure and never went into regular production of the figure- undercovers were in that group- even though they were the leading cartoon group, there were so few produced that there was only one shipment of them mixed in with the other figures-- the gold coins that is in this one was just starting to be put into figures- that is something that will be very rare- figures with gold coins -- they tried that for one shipment- I just happen to luck out on this one with the coin-- to my knowledge no other undercover turtles had them as the three turtles were put out on certain areas and the leo was put out by himself in another area - thanks- Robert

Did the Undercover TMNT line have cloth trenchcoats similar to Splinter's kimono?

So, Undercover Don came out earlier...with the human face and the plastic coat, then the 4 turtles came out again as undercover turtles later?

That one undercover don came out in __ (whenever it was) He had the gun, the pizza slice, the briefcase, the human face, and a PLASTIC coat. (prolly more, but whatever) Then all 4 turtles came out as an undercover line (look at the pic PWDESAI showed you at the top) They came out with their respective weapons, and I think only leo came out with a coin. They wear CLOTH coats, like Splinters kimono as Jephael asked. Thats what I think they are about... i could be totally off, but I dont think im that far off  Good job on getting your figure PWDESAI, I know youve been wanting / looking for it forever, and you finally got it  Also, what does your name mean? Is it a name, or abbreviations or what?

Ian is correct that too date, Leo is the only UNDERCOVER TURTLE to have been found with a collectors coin. However, there has been a weapon color variation found for Undercover Don. He has been found with blue and yellow weapons. Hope this helps.

Here's more info, each turtle has something different for their specialty. Raph seems to be the spy with his camcorder (i'm going off the boxart) mike has a gun, so he's probably the hitman, don has a phone and a notepad while writing stuff down, and leo is the guy with the masks. Leo comes with 2 katanas, 3 masks (one is a gasmask which is a retool of the pilot don mask, the other is a repaint of the movie 3 samurai masks, and the final one is the normal undercover don mask not repaint or anything) and a pistol. He also has a collector coin and a trading card. Definately a really nice peice, as the card is in mint condition. The paint job is sloppy though, you can tell it was rushed. I paid $130 with shipping for it, I know I caved in, but I couldn't help it. I'm going to get the other 3 turtles in undercover form soon, hopefully cheaper. This is one of my favoreite peieces now, I'm soooooooo happy!
If anyone wants more info on it, let me know!
