Turtles of Grayskull MOTU TMNT Crossover Wave 5 Details

As preorders are starting to show up for the Turtles of Grayskull 3 and 4 figures, we received some amazing news from an anonymous source. It looks like the Turtles of Grayskull MOTU Origins crossover line will be continuing past wave 4. When the Turtles of Grayskull line was officially announced, a graphic showing the lineup of figures was released and all of the character names are present and accounted for! The Turtles of Grayskull Wave 5 figure assortment looks like it’s going to a fun one, bringing some fun figures to the line and introducing a new faction.

Since the line was revealed, we’ve seen some amazing characters and sculpts which have made this line so fun to collect.

Turtles of Grayskull Wave 5

The figure assortment for Wave 5 will bring two variants of figures we’ve seen before plus two new figures!

Donatello

In true TMNT fashion, we’ll see another variant of Donatello joining the line in Wave 5. We don’t know any further details other than the name so we will have to wait and see which variant gets created! Will it be another Stealth variant like Leonardo?

The purples, yellows, and greens go very well with the figure and it’s great to see a Turtle clad in all that armor!

His turtle shell armor can hold the large mace/staff and his chest armor harkens back to Man-At-Arms concept in MOTU with the furry parts going around his arms, which matches the color of his turtleshell.

Raphael

Given that Leonardo received figure variant so early in the line, it’s not surprising that Raphael made the list. He was first released in the Wave 2 figure assortment and are unsure what the exact variant will be, I wonder if he’ll be given a Stealth Ninja variant, like Leonardo in Wave 4. Here are the official images of Raphael, who is dubbed the “Hard-Headed Sai Specialist,” and he looks so cool packed with his armor on and all geared up! Raphael comes with two oversized Sai’s for weapons, that stows neatly on his turtleshell!

Geared up or geared down, Raphael looks like an amazing mashup.

It seems like they mashed up Ram Man and Raphael as he comes with a removable helmet and he also has an oversized wrist bracer!

Mekaneck

Mattel has been true to form when it comes to the design for Mekaneck! He is sporting his vintage inspired look with his classic red Mekaneck armor, blue outfit and large yellow club! As mentioned during the Mattel SDCC reveal panel for the Rise of the Snake Men, just like on Rattlor, we suspected that the action featuring extending neck on Mekaneck, and indeed it is a neck extension piece, rather than the vintage style neck that pops out of the torso, in order to retain his parts swapping ability like that the rest of the Origins characters. With Mekaneck’s extension piece on, he looks great, and we are sure the Ground Ripper will be a tactical advantage for him! The neck piece is cast in a matte gray plastic and the mechanical and circuit detail on it.

Unlike the vintage Mekaneck figure where you twisted his waist and his neck would pop up, this version of Mekaneck has a neck extension piece. This is similar the neck extension piece that also comes with Rattlor. It works well and is articulated; it also allows his head to remain articulated as well. But the vintage pop-up neck was sure fun, so a bit of a bummer that he doesnt retain his action feature.

Rattlor

It looks like the Snake Men are joining the Turtles of Grayskull line and it will be very interesting to see how Rattlor’s figure will turn out. Will his figure be a mutated form or will he retain his classic design? It could be a mix of both as you never know what the line has in store. The MOTU characters that have been given muted forms, like Ram Man and He-Man, are amazing figures that are super fun to look at!

Rattlor MOTU Origins Figure

Being a completely amazing homage to the vintage figure, Mattel really hit a grand slam with this figure. Rattlor has all new sculpting and a really fun action feature that he actually rattles! Although Mattel choose to go with a neck extension, rather than the vintage signature pop up feature, this Origins of Rattlor is incredible! With all the incredible snake scales sculpted on his body, Mattel left no body part of uncovered, he is truly a Snake Man among Snake Men!

Here we can see Rattlor’s head, which has spectacular detail and looks just like the vintage with some slight updates in true Origins style! He has some great snake scale details on both the front of his face and the back of his head. He also has a red snake tongue sculpted in his mouth with pink mouth accents. With those piercing yellow eyes and white fangs, he is still a fan favorite!
