I found this silly Michelangelo variant at the flea market a few weeks ago. Impossible to pass up for fifty cents, this is Michelangelo dressed like an eighties WWF pro wrestler. What's not to love?!?!
Originally he came with a cape and a championship belt and a themed weapon of some sort. Mine is accessory-less, but it doesn't detract from his ringside charm!
I assume the 'MTW' stands for 'Mutant Turtle Wrestling.' The hot-pink onesie is hilarious, and the sweet wrestling converse style shoes are just awesome. He has spring-loaded legs for high-flying 'rasslin moves. A silly variant to be sure, but one that could easily be canonical given Michelangelo's personality. Heck, even Spider-Man got his start this way!

Didn't he come with a snake, too? I seem to remember him having a snake that was also wearing a headband.
ReplyDeleteI believe so - not sure how a snake is relevant here, but you know classic TMNT - it doesn't have to make sense!
DeleteI like him!
ReplyDeleteI generally avoid the silly variant turtles, but sometimes they are just too perfect. This is one of those times!
DeleteNever had this one as a kid.
ReplyDeleteJust in time for Wrestlemania! I don't even watch wrestling, but love this figure.
