Turtles of Grayskull Wave 5 Official Images

We got wind of the Turtles of Grayskull figure Wave 5 assortment way back in May 2024 and it was amazing to see Raphael, Donatello, Mekaneck, and Rattlor revealed at SDCC 2024. We also got to see some amazing card art for their new Reptile Wars storyline, that will continue the figure line for the near future! Mattel has released official images for the Turtles of Grayskull Wave 5 figures and with preorders being posted overseas, U.S. retailers should soon follow!

Reptile Wars Packaging Concepts

The packaging concepts are a work in progress but they look outstanding! The Snake Men are invading the Turtles of Grayskull! The colors are so vibrant and the snakes coupled with the purples and greens really makes the card art pop!

Donatello

Donatello comes clad in purple armor from head to toe and he also will come packed with a flame staff!

You can take the flames off and it looks like a super cool staff on its own!

You can also remove the helmet but still keep the part of the mask that covers his face, which looks awesome! You can also strip down the staff to its bare essentials, which gives him a more classic look!

In the most interesting armor, Donatello comes with a weapon that is a reuse of the flame staff that comes with the Skeletor & Demogorgon Stranger things 2-pack. The snake face mask that comes up from under his chin gives him a totally different look and his chest armor is a cool design that is set off with purple and silver.

Raphael

Here is the official image of Raph and he looks amazing in his Snake Armor and his oversized snake catcher looks amazing!!!

Raphael looks outstanding in Snake Armor and that oversized snake catcher looks awesome in his hand!

His classic Tsai’s can stow in his turtle shell, which is removeable and doubles as a shield.

The Reptile Wars Raphael looks amazing as he is all clad in Snake Armor! There is also armor on his upper right bicep plus the right side of his chest is clad in armor on the right side and the R is set off in black and red. He also comes with an oversized snake grabber or weapon attachment.

Mekaneck

You know what they say, two necks are better than one! Coming packed with two neck attachments and his trusy mace, Mekaneck looks amazing clad in his highly detailed chest and shoulder armor!

Mekaneck looks as equally impressive with no necks as this figure looks outstanding!

He is clad in armor fro head to toe and he even comes with a cool shield to fend off those pesky reptiles!

The Turtles of Grayskull are moving in such a cool direction and Mekaneck looks amazing!

The concept illustrations shows the various ways you can display Mekaneck.

Mekaneck was also revealed in the MOTU booth with his double stacked neck and his new design. The armor looks like it has turbines on the front and he looks great with this oversized armor!

Rattlor

Rattlor was one of the standout figures of the bunch and his colors are spectacular. He is such a unique looking figure with the pinks, yellows, and blues and he is sure to standout in your collection for sure!

Rattlor looks like he is molting out of the vintage figure’s skin and is such a cool look and a stellar concept!

Like Mekaneck, you can attach neck extensions or take them off for a different look!

The image below shows the inspiration for the Turtles of Grayskull Rattlor!

Rattlor was also on display in the MOTU booth and we got some new photos of him! With the main color being predominately pink, Rattlor is a blend of blues and yellows and a mix of translucent plastics. He is definitly the standout in the group and he looks amazing in his mutated form.

Turtles of Grayskull Wave 5 Early Information

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?

Donatello Official Images

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!
