Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Mirage Comics) - Leatherhead figure

Leatherhead is a mutant alligator with immense strength and an explosive temperament in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe. Across various adaptations, he has been portrayed as both a formidable ally to the Turtles and a fierce enemy pursuing his own goals. Originating from the Louisiana bayous, Leatherhead was mutated through experimentation, gaining enhanced intelligence and extraordinary physical abilities. In the Mirage Comics version, he is a tragic character, often misunderstood and rejected, struggling to find a purpose while surviving in a hostile world.

Created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles started as an independent comic series before exploding into a worldwide franchise with animated series, video games, and films. The Mirage Comics offer a darker and grittier take on the TMNT lore, setting a mature tone far from the lighthearted animated adaptations. In this version, Leatherhead is more than just an antagonist—he’s a complex character, torn between his predatory instincts and his desire for belonging.

This Leatherhead action figure, produced by NECA, stands approximately 21 cm tall and is directly inspired by the Mirage Comics. It perfectly captures the brutal and savage appearance of the character with incredible details on his scaly skin and bandages. The set includes two interchangeable heads with distinct expressions, as well as multiple hands and accessories for dynamic posing. With its authentic design featuring comic-style cel-shading, this figure is a must-have for collectors and TMNT fans alike.
