Eeny Meeny Miney Moe, Catch Tiger Claw by the Toe

Mighty Mutanimals 2.0?
Another new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle release hanging around on store shelves now is the assassin Tiger Claw.

Admittedly, I know nothing about Tiger Claw except what I have read on his bio card and online. I haven't seen the episodes he appears in, but there's something about a western-garbed Tiger man with shades of Deathstroke that a guy simply can't resist.

Tiger Claw is a good action figure and seems to be a fan favorite, so he may be tough to find until the initial 'must-have' heat dies off.

Tiger Claw comes with two pistols, which each fit nicely into holsters permanently attached to Tiger Claw's thighs.

Tiger Claw's tail is intentionally missing. Apparently someone removed it in battle. Given the fact that Playmates are well known for cost-cutting, I am surprised it is not only orange, but it appears to be a separate component and not molded onto his buttox. I suppose had they not at least made it orange, it would have looked a little too...ahem...awkward.

Tiger Claw has swivel shoulders and hips, as well as a turning head and knee joints.

I am a cherry-picker when it comes to the new TMNT toy characters, so there are many I do not own. But it seems lately they have been releasing a lot of groovy characters that are hard to resist, with many more on deck (Rocksteady and Bebop are due out this month!) so the TMNT posts are only going to continue around here!

    1. He seems to be pretty popular, so he doesn't hang around long on the pegs.

  3. Man, I was just at Wal-Mart and saw this guy and all of the Mirage turtles. I got Tiger Claw about two weeks ago and just found the Robotic Foot Soldier two nights ago. This guy is really a very nice figure from the TMNT line. I really love his guns. I've actually been using one of them with the Star Wars Black Chewbacca off and on, too. The next time I see a Tiger Claw, I'll snag him if some folks want him.
