In disguise mode, Leo is fully suited up as a Foot Clan ninja: white gi, black armor, blue belt and knee pads, and a closed helmet with a gold rib-cage face mask. Squeeze his legs and the transformation triggers automatically — the helmet flips open to reveal Leonardo's face underneath, blue bandana and all. It's a genuinely satisfying mechanism that holds up thirty-plus years later. Loose figure, no weapons included. © Mirage Studios \/ Playmates Toys 1993.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🐢 Auto Mutations Night Ninja Leonardo action figure — Playmates Toys, 1993\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e⚠️ Figure only — no weapons or accessories included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🏷️ Character: Leonardo \/ Line: Auto Mutations — Night Ninja variant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📅 © 1993 Mirage Studios \/ Manufactured by Playmates Toys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e⚙️ Transformation gimmick: Squeeze legs to auto-flip helmet open, revealing Leo's face beneath the Foot Clan disguise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e👢 Costume: White gi, black armor, blue belt and knee pads, gold rib-cage face mask helmet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📦 Loose figure — no original card or packaging included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Collectors Love It:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Auto Mutations line was Playmates leaning hard into the transformation gimmick era, and Night Ninja Leonardo is one of the standout figures from that run. The flip-helmet mechanism is satisfying in a way that a lot of 90s action figure gimmicks weren't — it's fast, it's clean, and it actually makes narrative sense for Leo to be hiding under a Foot Clan disguise. Finding a loose example with the transformation mechanism still functioning is the bar for this figure, and this one delivers. A strong pickup for TMNT variant collectors and anyone who remembers the Auto Mutations line fondly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed, vintage condition — shows normal wear consistent with its age.
