Donatello Action Figure



Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Donatello Action Figure



Donatello Action Figure
Undeterred by the noticeable third toe, I threw down and bought Donatello & Michelangelo on a whim. I have to say, to see the difference in the sculps of the Turtles was a welcome sight. Different most of the turtle toys, each of the brothers has very unique characteristics about them, going beyond the simple mask colors and the weapons with them. So here is Donatello Action Figure.

Donatello is at least a head taller than Michelangelo, and has a much longer and leaner build. His skin tone isn't my favorite for him - I'm used to seeing him with a more olive skin tone as opposed to this avocado color. It isn't bad, but just different. The articulation is pretty good, and Donatello Action Figure can take a good variety of stances. His carapace is made of a soft bendy plastic - this can be seen as both a weakness and strength, as this allows for more movement of the legs; however it’s so flexible that I can imagine it being accidentally ripped off by a kid. The belt material is also soft plastic. One thing parents should be aware of is that the heads of these turtles, while highly posable, can easily pop off. Thankfully, they pop back on just as easily.

All in all, for a long time Turtle fan, I'm pretty happy with this design of
Donatello Action Figure. It's a better sculp than the 2003 blocky version of the Turtles, it gives each turtle their own unique physical attributes, and hey - you got to love a Turtle with both brains and brawn. Highly recommended!
