TMNT Shadow Leonardo Bootleg LEGO Minifigure

This is the bootleg version of a LEGO Shadow Leonardo minifigure that was a comic con exclusive a few years back.

The official version is way out of my (and probably your) price range, but the Chinese LEGO bootleggers have come through for you (and me) and this guy is super cheap on eBay right now.

He comes with two bootleg LEGO katana and a bootleg LEGO shadow skateboard too!

To get him, I had to buy a lot of bootleg TMNT minifigures:

The whole lot was dirt cheap, but beyond Shadow Leonardo kind of...meh.

Other than Shadow Leo, the rest of the turtles are lame variant versions of relatively easy to get ninja turtle minifigures; divers and stealth turtles. Nothing to write home (or an entire blog post) about.

The Kraang robot and Shredder are nice to have though. And they ALL come with skateboards - that's pretty radical! Shredder is supposed to come with two claws, but one was malformed junk - the first issue I have yet had with my limited Chinese LEGO bootleg experiences.

Fun stuff I suppose, and totally worth it just to have Shadow Leo (and a pile of random minifigures) for incredibly cheap!

    Man, I hate all those exclusive minifigures and really exclusive anything. It's nice that you can still get them from other sources, mwahahahahaha! :D

      Indeed. The super-limited SDCC LEGO minifigure this year was The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh! I can't wait to get a bootleg of that one!

    Great post, my friend. I recently just went to this zany "Tomato Festival" in Cape May, NJ and picked up the Kraang minifigure. I figured he was a bootleg, but your site confirmed it! Thanks bud!

      If you pull the legs from the torso you can tell it's a bootleg too, because the leg connection component is different from official LEGO minifigures.
