Super7 have switched over to the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series going forward, as they are currently not allowed to make modern updates to vintage toy inspired figures that they’ve been offering. This series was the the first animated relaunch of the brand since the classic show, and aired 155 episodes from 2003 – 2010. The first wave includes Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael and Donatello all given updated articulation and inspired from the show.

Leonardo comes packaged in a brown mailer box (not shown), and inside, he comes in a window box with beautifully done artwork inspired from the series. The front includes logo’s and an image of him on the bottom, and the back includes additional images and a description. Leonardo comes packaged in a plastic tray along with his accessories. Leonardo includes three sets of interchangeable hands (closed fisted, open grip, and neutral), two interchangeable head sculpts, a Shell Cell, and two katana’s.
Super7 kicks off the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line that replaces what they’ve done before by offering the four turtles as seen in the animated series. Leonardo is given a brand new sculpt and inspired from the series, with dark green skin, a beige chest, light green shell, brown elbow and knee pads, harness that includes a belt and a strap, and a sheath over his shell on his back.
Leonardo includes two head sculpts, one with a closed smirk, and the other with an open smirk that shows his teeth on the left side. Both figures are given a blue bandana, with white eyes, and the back of it is given a different position. The back of the bandana also is positioned differently, and does not swivel around as seen on other turtles figures.
The katana’s are given a light grey blade, with a blue handle, and there is also black and yellow. These can be placed in the sheath on his back, or his open grip hands. You can also place 1 sword in the open hands as shown.
The Shell Cell is given a new design and is a call phone used by the turtles. This comes in green, blue, brown and yellow deco. The open grip hands are too small for it, so the neutral hands/open hands are the best option to place it on.
His articulation includes a ball jointed head and neck, ball hinged shoulders, swivel biceps, double-hinged elbows, swivel-hinged wrists, swivel-hinged hips, swivel thighs, double-hinged knees, hinged and rocker ankles. The double-hinged elbows and knees are new articulation offered in these figures.
Here is a comparison with the vintage toy-inspired Leonardo figures that Super7 previously released, and the 2003 (reissue) figure that Playmates Toys recently released.
Overall, Leonardo is an excellent figure with a great likeness to the source material. This is definitely a great figure that you should grab while you can. Make sure to pick him up and additional figures now at Entertainment Earth!
