Today’s new addition brings some serious attitude straight out of the pages of the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic series — the NECA Foot Soldier (Comic Book Edition)!
This figure perfectly captures the gritty, black-and-white style of the original Mirage Comics where the Turtles first made their debut. Unlike the colorful cartoon or movie versions, this one stays true to that underground comic book look — complete with bold black shading, cross-hatching details, and a stark contrast that makes it look like it stepped right out of an inked panel.
The sculpt is fantastic, featuring NECA’s trademark articulation and accessories that make posing a joy. The set includes extra hands, weapons, and even the distinctive Foot Soldier insignia — everything a collector could ask for to recreate those iconic battles from the early TMNT universe.
What makes this one so special is how well NECA continues to honor the roots of the Ninja Turtles. This isn’t just another figure — it’s a tribute to the original Eastman and Laird comic legacy, where the Turtles were darker, grittier, and undeniably cooler.
It’s also a great companion piece to other NECA comic-style releases, fitting perfectly alongside the Turtles themselves or the Shredder and Elite Guard variants. Whether you keep it sealed for display or open it up for posing, this figure stands as a reminder of how far the TMNT franchise has come — from indie comics to pop culture phenomenon.
This Foot Soldier now takes its rightful place in my collection, guarding the shelves alongside other NECA classics and vintage finds.
