Mondo Toys made a big splash with the debut of its all-new 1:6 scale Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line, reimagining the heroes in a darker, grittier universe that blends Elseworlds-style storytelling with premium collectible craftsmanship. Each figure features interchangeable accessories, swappable body parts, and a striking balance of realism and nostalgia. Mondo’s creative team described the series as part of a new storytelling and world-building initiative, set in a re-envisioned TMNT universe where the Turtles face off against Shredder, Krang, and Mouser in a gritty cityscape.

Donatello – the first figure revealed showcases the tech-savvy turtle’s ingenuity. Donnie uses repurposed Mouser bots for reconnaissance and espionage, emphasizing his tactical intelligence and resourcefulness.

Each character can be displayed in multiple styles, from their classic 1990s-inspired looks to modern, battle-worn interpretations, thanks to the inclusion of swappable heads and interchangeable body parts. Mondo’s TMNT line pushes the boundaries of collectible storytelling — not just revisiting the past, but building an entirely new mythos for the next generation of Turtle fans.

In addition, the company showcased an impressive lineup spanning multiple iconic franchises from X-Men: The Animated Series to Masters of the Universe, Street Sharks, Ultraman, and The Real Ghostbusters, each reimagined with Mondo’s signature blend of artistry, nostalgia, and bold design.

Jean Grey - X-Men: The Animated Series

Jean Grey captures the spirit of the animated series with four swappable heads (including one with incredibly long hair) and interchangeable hands, including a telekinetic display effect where she’s seen holding Magneto’s helmet, a dynamic nod to her psychic prowess and emotional depth.
