They all had the same basic body sculpts Each of the turtles had swivel heads, allowing for movement left to right and hinged articulation on the shoulders for up and down movement and a cut at the forearms for rotating the arms. Raphael (Red Bandana) was the comedian, always quick with a witty comment that is only beaten by his speed and skill with the deadly sai. Michaelangelo (Orange Bandana) was the wild and crazy turtle, adept and deadly with the nunchuku! His only passion greater than the nunchuku and partying is eating pizza! He had an extremely well-balanced temperament and was a very skilful fighter. Leonardo (Blue bandana) was the boss and commander and Splinter’s star pupil. This was a stroke of genius as it meant kids were able to quickly and easily identify each of them.ĭonatello (Purple Bandana) was the creative genius and was the brains of the team and designed all their vehicles. Then in 1993, most of the figures were re-released on “Pizza Back” header cards, with new product numbers.Įach of the four turtles had very distinct characteristics, body tones and different coloured bandanas. Except for April O’Neil and Leatherhead, the figures on the type A, B, and C cards were shipped in large quantities for several years. The only way to tell the difference between the original figures and later releases or re-issued figures is by the different header cards and the number of figures pictured reveals when they were released.Īfter the first three releases things started to get a lot more complicated and confusing. The initial releases were all part of the same general series and did not have any sub-sets or “waves” of figures, although later releases had different themes with special header cards.
