Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Leonardo (Basic Figure, Nickelodeon Era Retro-Style) (2023 Playmates Toys)
For collectors who grew up with the original Playmates TMNT runs of the late 1980s and 1990s, this 2023 Nickelodeon-era Leonardo basic figure is a direct callback to that golden era of turtle-mania. Playmates deliberately echoed the retro aesthetic of the classic assortment — orange and yellow honeycomb card art, the iconic TMNT logo, and all four turtles' rendered heads across the card top — making it a natural companion piece or point of comparison for anyone building a display around the franchise's history.
The figure is presented on its original card in vintage condition, bubble intact and fully secured. Leonardo comes armed with his Twin Katana Swords and Two Ninja Throwing Stars, complemented by his Ninja Belt, with a suction-cup grip feature for scale-wall climbing play. The card back leads with "Let the Turtles Show You the True Way of the Ninja!" and delivers a full character bio alongside Leonardo's Vital Statistics panel — a charming nod to the stat-packed backing cards that defined the original Playmates releases. Item #81771 (Asst. #81030) places this squarely within the broad 2023 assortment that ran alongside Mutant Mayhem movie figures.
This release sits at an interesting crossroads for TMNT collectors: modern production quality dressed in classic-era packaging language, giving it appeal both as a shelf piece alongside vintage originals and as a standalone nostalgia display. The "Clip and Collect!" tab on the back showcases all four turtles — Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello — making this an ideal entry point for completing the set. Perfect for longtime fans and anyone who wants the spirit of vintage TMNT in a 2023 release.

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. One exception: trading card game product is final sale, since a sealed box can’t be verified once it leaves our hands.

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.
