The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been on our mind over the past few weeks. From the pizza scented X-box controllers to some cool statues from Plastic Cell and even a mock up of what the soundtrack for Mutant Mayhem would look like if it were inspired by NWA, we can’t seem to get our minds off these green dudes and ya know what, that’s just fine.
Today we want to bring a whole new set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles statues to your attention, this time by Iron Studios. We’re talking 4 statues, each one magnificent in its own right but when they are all combined, they will leave you screaming “COWABUNGA!” First up… Leonardo.
Stealthily moving on a pipe network in New York’s sewers, Leonardo sneaks in wielding his long and sharp Ninjat? swords. By his feet, a broken large pipe leaks a viscous green substance, characteristic of the formula responsible for his and his brothers’ creation, that in wrong hands, could create other dangerous mutations. Bold and reliant, nicknamed Leo, Iron Studios present his statue “Leonardo BDS Comics Exclusive Version – TMNT – Art Scale 1/10”. He is the eldest among his brothers, tactical advisor, and the group’s field leader, he’s always disciplined and mature and has a very strong connection with his father and mentor Splinter that baptized him inspired by artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci.
Hidden from society, jumping from the skyscraper’s roofs, or sneaking in New York’s sewer galleries, four young brothers wage a tireless fight against evil in all of its forms, defending the city from the threat of small criminals, facing an ancestral ninja clan corrupted by crime, and even stopping alien invasions, always concealed from the public knowledge. Created in the comics by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT), became a huge success in the 1980s, expanding into a multimedia franchise, conquering a legion of fans in the entire world. Formed by four young mutant turtles with human-like features, genetically altered by a viscous substance called Mutagen or Ooze, the brothers, members of the group, got their father figure and Sensei master in the shape of an anthropomorphic rat named Splinter, that baptized them with the name of Italian Renaissance artists. Acting in New York City, their home and base of operations is on the network of sewers where they remain hidden during the day, and only get out for their missions at night. Their greatest arch-enemy is Shredder, the leader of the criminal ninja group known as Foot Clan.
In a limited edition of 100 statues for the entire world, exclusive to the Iron Studios’ stores, the Comics Exclusive Version line presents the four heroes in their original version from the comics, where they all use red masks and are identified by their characteristic weapons. Forming a diorama set of the group in combat in the sewers of New York, their most common territory, the first line of TMNT Art Scale 1/10 statues by Iron Studios is already available for Pre-Order, revealed first on the show Inside Iron Studios Day on YouTube, where fans and collectors certainly cheered for this release by screaming “Cowabunga!”.

With rage on his countenance, the moody chelonian hero walks over a rusty pipe network that leaks a green and viscous liquid similar to the chemical substance that transformed him and his brothers, with the robotic remains of one of his enemy’s agents fallen under his feet. Wielding a pair of Sai Daggers, Iron Studios present the statue “Raphael BDS Comics Exclusive Version – TMNT – Art Scale 1/10”, with the group’s sarcastic and cranky anti-hero, nicknamed Raph by his brothers and friends, often grumpy, he rarely holds back his most extreme emotions. The second eldest among his brothers, his name is inspired by the Italian painter from the XVI century Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino.

Always optimistic and with a large smile on his face, the most joyful, playful, and carefree member of the Ninja Turtles holds his Nunchakus, placed and ready for action on his skilled hands. On a pedestal in the shape of a large and cubic box from the sewers of New York, with a suggestive pizza box, his favorite delicacy, fallen by his feet, Iron Studios present their statue “Michelangelo BDS Comics Exclusive Version – TMNT – Art Scale 1/10”, with the youngest member of the group, and usually the most innocent and childish, but always extremely loyal and affectionate, he was nicknamed Mike or Mikey by his brothers, but his real name comes from the Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet Michelangelo Buonarroti.

And last, but certainly not least, our favorite turtle, Donatello. With his sharp mind and enhanced agility, he calculates his next moves with mathematical precision, climbing some metallic inspection passage boxes in New York’s sewer galleries, nailed with Shurikens thrown by members of a criminal ninja clan, Don or Donnie, as he is casually known by his brothers, firmly holds a combat Bo staff behind his body ready for action. Thus, Iron Studios bring the statue “Donatello BDS Comics Exclusive Version – TMNT – Art Scale 1/10”, with the scientist, inventor, engineer, and technological genius responsible for the creation of the gadgets and vehicles used by the group. Friendly and kind, his name comes from the Florentine sculptor Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi, better known as Donatello.
