Mondo Presents "The First Turtle"

[JeffSaylor]

Original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Vinyl Figures...

In 1983, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird were doodling on napkins, playing around with an idea that initially began as a joke. Little did they know what started as a sketch, would turn into the phenomena known as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Mondo is honoring the history of the Turtles with a figure based on the very first illustration of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, as drawn by Kevin Eastman. Standing 6.5 inches tall, featuring 5 points of articulation, and illustration-accurate details, The First Turtle is available for pre-order now through mondotees.com as four distinct versions:

• The First Turtle (B&W Version) - $65. Features an all black and white paint scheme, imitating the original pen and napkin illustration by Kevin Eastman.
• The First Turtle Figure (Color Version with Red Mask) - $65. Features a color paint scheme with red mask.
• The First Turtle Figure (Color Version with Orange Mask) - $65. Features a color paint scheme with orange mask.
• The First Turtle Figure (B&W Deluxe Version) - $100. Features an all Black & White paint scheme, imitating the original pen and napkin illustration by Kevin Eastman. Includes 3 interchangeable heads with different mask colors - white, red, and orange - and a 5" x 7" letterpress print of the original Kevin Eastman art. Limited to 300.

All four versions are expected to ship in the 4th Quarter of 2015.
