Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Donatello (Nickelodeon Animated Series Basic Figure) (2023 Playmates Toys)
Donatello has been "The Turtle with the Brains" across decades of TMNT releases, and this 2023 Playmates Nickelodeon animated-series basic figure captures him in the style that kept the franchise continuously on retail shelves since 2012. Part of a line that deliberately bridges kid-play and multi-generational collector appeal, this release represents Playmates running the Nickelodeon-era basics alongside retro and remastered waves simultaneously — a milestone for TMNT's staying power on the peg.
The card is presented in vintage condition, featuring the bold orange-and-yellow Nickelodeon-branded blister card with all four turtle heads illustrated across the top header. The bubble is intact and the card back includes Donatello's full bio, vital stats, and the "Clip and Collect" section showcasing Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello. The figure itself is armed with his signature Bo Staff, complemented by two Ninja Throwing Stars, two Ninja Weapon Caps — which plug onto the staff to form Don's Super Ninja Bo Staff — and a Ninja Belt.

For collectors building out the Nickelodeon animated-era roster, Donatello is a cornerstone addition — and community enthusiasm around this specific character in this style of release has made him a sought-after piece. Whether displayed carded alongside the rest of the four-turtle set or appreciated as a standalone piece of modern TMNT history, this figure delivers the recognizable animated aesthetic in a format that holds strong collector display value.

Jays is my first stop in collecting. I preorder things through Walmart, Amazon, Hasbro Pulse, etc., but Jays always seem to get the items and either meet or beat the other companies pricing. I always end up cancelling my pre-orders and going with Jays. Better selection, price and MUCH MUCH better shipping quality. You can't even compare anyone else's shipping and packing to Jays. And that's why Jay's blows them all out of the water.
Great fast shipping, packaging with care. I am definitely buying from Jay's again! Such peace of mind knowing my items will arrive minty. 5 stars!
Perfect and careful packaging, shipped super quick. Thank you, will definitely be following the store!
Didn't pull any punches in item description. Came extremely fast and well packed. Extremely happy being a first time buyer! Thank you.
I've been buying from Jay's for a while now and I am never disappointed with the experience. Prices that can't be beat, easy PayPal option, and lots of bubble wrap surrounding the products. The fact that they go out of their way to make consumers happy keeps me coming back.
This is my 3rd or 4th time I have ordered from Jay's. The orders are always correct and arrive pretty quick and packaged extremely well. Best in the industry.

Yep. We’ve been hunting plastic treasures since the ‘90s. We speak fluent collector (MOC, BAF, grail hunting), we’ve camped outside stores for midnight releases, and we run this place like the shop we always wished existed. Professional enablers at your service. 😎
30 days to decide if it’s true love. Not happy? Full refund to your original payment method. Damaged? We replace or refund fast. Just keep items in the condition you got them, and we’ll make it right — because the only drama in collecting should be choosing a display pose.

In-stock ships now; pre-orders ship together once the last one lands, and shipping’s charged on each leg (pro tip: check ship dates before combining pre-orders). Dates can shift — we’ll keep you posted faster than Spider-Man slings webs. And if we ever can’t deliver (rare), you’re not charged a dime.
