Okay, so today I finally got my hands on that TMNT WWE Series 2 thing everyone’s been buzzing about online. Gotta tell ya, it was a bit of a mission, but totally worth it for a turtle freak like me. Let me walk you through the whole messy process.
The Hunt Begins
Right, first thing was figuring out where the heck to actually find these figures. I saw the news online – “TMNT WWE Series 2 Figures Revealed!” – and honestly, it just confused me at first. Ninja Turtles wrestling? Like, seriously? But the promo pics looked wild, so the hype got me. My local Target? Nada. Zip. Just a bunch of Series 1 leftovers gathering dust. Felt like everyone beat me to it.
I hit up Walmart next. Scoured the toy aisle like a hawk spotting mice. Still nothing. Asked some poor dude in a blue vest stocking shelves. He just kinda shrugged and mumbled about shipments maybe coming Thursday. Super helpful. Was starting to think this “Series 2” was just internet smoke.
Stumbling Upon the Gold (Or Plastic)
Almost gave up, honestly. Then, while grabbing milk at this kinda sketchy grocery store downtown – you know the type, fluorescent lights buzzing, weird smell by the meat counter – I decided to glance down the toy section on a whim. Mostly junk. Off-brand dolls, a broken remote control car… but then, tucked in the corner near some dusty board games? Bam! Three shiny new TMNT WWE Series 2 packs sitting there! Like finding buried treasure under a pile of dirty socks. Grabbed all three before anyone else could blink. Score!
The Big Reveal (And Confusion)
Got home super pumped. Ripped open the packages faster than Leo disarms a Foot Bot. Here’s the thing nobody really explained clearly online: this series is weird. It’s the Turtles, yeah, but dressed up like actual WWE wrestlers, using their specific gear and personas? Seriously trippy.
Found these guys inside:
- “The Rock” Mikey: Dude’s got Mikey’s goofy grin plastered on The Rock’s signature raised eyebrow scowl. Comes with a tiny Brahma Bull Championship belt! Looks ridiculous holding his tiny nunchucks.
- “Stone Cold” Leo: They put Leo, the disciplined leader, in Stone Cold Steve Austin’s gear? Torn black vest, bald cap over his blue mask? Holding little beer cans? My brain short-circuited for a second. Comes with a tiny folding chair accessory. Perfect for smashing over Krang’s dome.
- “Punk Frog” Donnie: Okay, this one kinda makes sense? Donnie’s the tech/smart guy, and CM Punk is the “Best in the World” straight-edge dude. Purple mohawk under a hoodie, wearing Punk’s arm tape. Looks ready to deliver a GTS to Shredder. Comes with… a little kendo stick? Sure, why not.
My Honest Take
Look, the figures themselves? Plastic feels decent, articulation is okay for a cheap toy – they can hold the poses alright. The sculpts are insanely detailed though. You can see the stitching on Mikey’s vest, the texture on Leo’s bald cap. Paint apps on mine were mostly clean, no major slop, which surprised me.
But the whole concept? It’s gloriously stupid. Ninja Turtles cosplaying as 90s wrestling icons? What even is this mashup? Who pitched this? Who greenlit it? And more importantly, why do I kinda love it? Mikey as The Rock just cracks me up every time I look at him.
Would I recommend hunting them down? If you’re a TMNT completionist or a hardcore wrestling fan? Absolutely, just brace yourself for the weirdness and the frustration of actually finding them – feels luckier than pulling a shiny Pokémon card sometimes. If you’re expecting serious action figures? Nah, pass. These are purely for the novelty, the nostalgia trip clash. Still kinda pisses me off though that Raph missed out this round. Dude deserves a Hulk Hogan figure or something.
