Diamond Select Toys newly released Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Turtle Party Wagon Minimates Deluxe Set is inspired from the classic cartoon series, and is a long anticipated offering for many given it’s taken them a few years to get these into the hands of fans. This set includes Raphael, Michelangelo, Casey Jones, Baxter Stockman, and a Foot Soldier, all in their cartoon colors and outfits. As you are probably aware, these Minimates would also be compatible with brands also offered in this line, so you can swap out parts and accessories to your liking. This is also the third and final offering, as the Technodrome and Turtle Blimp box sets have been released.
