Playmates Toys is offering a new 1-1/4″ scale of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures that includes several new playsets available right now in stores. What you see here is the new Micro Mutants Raph’s Roodtop Mini Playset that can connect by the piping on the back of their shells to Leo’s Dojo (or another set similar to this) creating an even bigger set. The new Micro Mutants collection contains three different sets. The smaller sets comes with two figures and a small car at the $4.99 price point. Mikey’s Skate Park, Raph’s Rooftop, Donnie’s Lab, and Leo’s Dojo are the next bigger set and have a $14.99 price point. The largest available sets of Raphael and Leonardo that are standing with a playset around their bodies are $24.99 each.
During New York ToyFair 2017, Playmates Toys announced even more Micro Mutants sets that are coming out later this year and there some great products coming out that we plan to review later on.
Thank you to Playmates Toys for providing their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Micro Mutants Donnie’s Lab for review.
Availability: March 2017
Donnie’s Lab Mini Playset includes a shell that folds upward to reveal a playset inside for the 1-1/4″ figures included with this and other sets in the line. The baby turtle includes the purple bandana to distinguish Donatello from the other Turtles in the set, and the top of the shell opens to reveal a tunnel leading to the lab.
Once the shell is lifted, the lab is revealed and includes some minor assembly including labels and a cannon. The bottom portion of the lab has a textured floor with a beveled floor to help Donatello reach the laptop and counter. The laptop folds up and down, the the counter can fold upward to reveal a hidden compartment for storage. It also has two spinning green battle stands, with a spinning dial that rotates both at the same time. Like all other sets, the battle stands have pegs so the figures can stand on them. To the side, there is a pull down door that enables entrance into the sewer and lab.
The top part of the sewer and lab features a rotating dials to mix and match the mutants, platform for the cannon, a label with books and beakers with a platform just below it with two pegs so Donnie can stand on it. The mix and match mutant dial works by spinning the dials to the side, and showcases a Krang droid, Krang ape, and what appears to be a canister.
The piping can be pressed outward and on the back of shell can connect to Raph’s Rooftop, Leo’s Dojo, or Mikey’s Skate Park to create an even bigger playset with the two standing opposite of each other.
Included in this set are miniature figures of Donatello and Fishface. Donatello includes his signature bo staff. Also included are two projectiles, and a stand for the cannon.
