The TMNT x Usagi Yojimbo crossover is one of comics' most beloved team-ups, and NECA's Ultimate line brings it to three dimensions with the fidelity that crossover deserves. This is figure #5 in the series — Leonardo — sculpted entirely from the ground up to capture Stan Sakai's distinctive hand-inked style, produced in collaboration with Dogu Publishing. The result is a Leo that looks lifted straight off a comic page: bold black line-work etched into every muscle, a chunky plastron with hatched shading, and that unmistakable gritted-teeth snarl rendered in two swappable expressions.
Factory sealed in collector-friendly window box packaging with an opening front flap, the figure ships complete with two pairs of interchangeable hands, an alternate head, twin katanas, and a shuriken — giving collectors a range of display options from a calm ready stance to a full combat pose. At 7 inches in the 1:10 scale, Leo stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the rest of the Usagi Yojimbo wave, including Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Usagi Yojimbo himself (each sold separately), making the full team display genuinely imposing.
This release is the go-to pick for TMNT comic purists and Usagi Yojimbo fans alike — anyone who grew up reading the crossover issues will immediately recognize the tonal shift from the cartoon aesthetic toward Eastman and Laird's grittier original vision, filtered through Sakai's iconic anthropomorphic brushwork. The highly articulated construction means Leo can hold every pose shown on the packaging, and the window box keeps the figure and all accessories visible and display-ready without opening.
