While everything this year looked good, the best for us was the 80’s inspired Leo, Rocksteady and Bebop figures that are based on the final episodes of the series. The original series was great, and it was truly a treat to see these characters return once again in the series finale. While more figures from he final such as Shredder, Krang, and show-accurate figures of Bebop and Rocksteady would have been nice, these three are the best of the best for this year.
