Leonardo Action Figure – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles | Playmates 1988 Vintage TMNT Original Series

Leaders lead. Leonardo is the original 1988 Playmates Toys Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figure — first wave, blue bandana, both katana crossed and sheathed on his back exactly where they belong. Leo comes battle-ready in his signature wide fighting stance, belt still on, swords still present, shell still intact. This is the loose vintage figure from the original 1988 Playmates TMNT line, © Mirage Studios — the one that started the whole turtle empire.

Why Collectors Love It:

The 1988 Playmates first-wave TMNT figures are the benchmark, and Leonardo with both katana still present is the version collectors actually want. Loose Leo figures turn up regularly — Leo with both swords and his belt intact is a different story. The swords were small, they were brown, and they disappeared into carpet and couch cushions across America for thirty-plus years. Finding a complete loose example is a legitimate score for any TMNT collection.
