Slaker Turtles of Grayskull Deluxe Target Exclusive Official Images

The same day that the Sla’ker Turtles of Grayskull deluxe Target exclusive figure went up for preorder (and sold out really fast!), the @masters handle on Instagram dropped the official images of the MOTU Faker x Slaker TMNT mashup! Mattel announced: “Villains from different worlds combine to bring Slaker into the Turtles of Grayskull line. Do our heroes have what it takes to bring down this Evil Snapping Cybernetic menace?”

Sla’ker Official Images

Sla’ker has color scheme fitting for a MOTU Origins x TMNT mashup! Blending the best parts of Faker from the MOTU line and adding the TMNT flair, the figure is a throwback to both vintage lines!

With the armor removed, you can see how the Faker sticker is turtleized with two pizzas, which is a nod and homage to the vintage Masters of the Universe faker. The pointy purple shell can be removed and used as a shield like the other figures in the line. He also has a spot on the back of the shell to stow his weapon!

The mashup of Faker from the Masters of the Universe line and Slash from the Teenage Mutant Turtles line has been discovered on the Target website! Sla’ker has more parts for the Metal-Boto build-a-figure so it’s awesome to see him go up on the website, which could signal a wider release soon! It’s odd because the Target exclusive Mouse-Jaw deluxe figure is nowhere to be found on the website. The street date for the figure is April 28, 2024! We also have a clearer shot of the box front as Target posted an official image of the front of the box! Thanks to preterniadotcom for breaking the news!

Sla’ker Box Art Reveal and Teasers

Roy Juarez did it again and dropped the official Sla’ker deluxe Turtles of Grayskull box and art reveal! Being a Target exclusive, Sla’ker will alos include additional pieces of the Metal-Boto Build-A-Figure! Shown on the front and back of the box, we can see the new Metal-Boto parts that come packed with Sla’ker. Another exciting thing that the Slak’er package brings us is yet a third tease for the Slime Pit, which would be an apropos small playset that leans into the TMNT ooze that the turtles had in the 1980’s. It’s super exciting to think that the TMNT inspired Slime Pit might be coming to the Turtles of Grayskull line!

Following the video reveal of Mouse-Jaw’s box art, the MOTU Team released the hi-rez images of the box art, which are stunning!

Here are all of the amazing people who made this box a reality:

According to Roy Juarez on Instagram:

COWABUNGA DUDES! Here’s a closer look at the deadly artwork and packaging for the upcoming Sla’Ker, the evil cybernetic snapping turtle from the #TMNT x #MOTU Turtles of Grayskull collaboration.

This is the third deluxe style box we’ve seen for the Turtles of Grayskull line and the entire package looks amazing! It features bright and vibrant colors with an amazing scene of Sla’ker front in center of the Slime Pit with Shredder and Skeletor watching on! and Teela battling Mouse-Jaw in front of Castle Grayskull. I love the Shredder inspired dome of the Slime Pit, and the green ooze coming down the tower!

Here is the digital box art and it’s cool to see the art without any writing.

It looks like they are packing in an extra bio card like they did with the Mouse Jaw and the Ruler’s of the Sun 3-pack figures!

We can also see the second set of Build-A-Figure parts that make up Metal-BOTO. It comes with Metal-Boto’s legs and head. These Build-A-Figure parts will be packed with the deluxe Target exclusive figures as the back of the box says 2 of 4. So we have 2 more Target exclusive deluxe figures to come!

The two panels make up the larger scene above but we can view more details, especially of the Slime Pit tease!
