In 1983, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird were doodling on napkins, playing around with an idea that initially began as a joke. Little did they know what started as a sketch, would turn into the phenomena known as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." First spotted
HERE at SDCC 2014, Mondo is excited to honor the history of the Turtles with a figure based on the very first illustration of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, as drawn by Kevin Eastman (see the first image below). Featuring 5 points of articulation, and illustration-accurate details, "
The First Turtle" is perfect for TMNT and comic history fans alike!
