NECA - TMNT - IDW Comics The Last Ronin Armored Ultimate 7" Action Figure

Product Information

Both figures come with a grip of stuff. Armored has a katana with sheathe, sai, nunchakus, bo, four ninja stars, a grenade, goggles, removeable hood, claw on a rope, two heads (yelling and gritted teeth), two removeable bandana parts, three sets of hands (fists, grip, and open) and a tonfa. The turtles, once unified and vibrant, are replaced with a solitary figure grappling with the weight of loss.

But some games, like 2016’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan, really lean into the differences between the Turtles. Each character in that game has a unique ninjutsu style and special moves, and players are able to switch between Turtles at will.The Last Ronin is almost surely going to be a very different experience from any Turtles game that has come before, and that’s exactly what has me so excited. This tale is a perfect choice for an ambitious, story-heavy action game. We just hope the developer in question can pull it off. We won’t spoil the identity of the titular Last Ronin here. That reveal is a major part of the first issue of the series, and we assume the game will make a big deal out of revealing which of the four characters survives this hellish future. But if you want to know, we’ve got a full breakdown of the first issue of The Last Ronin. If you’ve been swept up by the tidal wave of The Last Ronin’s riveting story, this Funko Pop! figure is a must-have addition to your collection.

Mind you, if The Last Ronin were simply dark for the sake of being dark, it might not be a story worth adapting. We’ve seen plenty of games about lone protagonists cutting a wide swath of destruction as they seek to right a terrible wrong. Fortunately, there’s an undercurrent of hope and optimism to the series that offsets the grim and gritty elements. The Ronin’s character arc is less about whether he achieves his goal than it is learning to hope again and find reasons to live. That’s the arc we hope to see play out in the game adaptation.

The Gameplay of The Last Ronin 

These guys have a really great bulk to them and at around 6.5 inches, I was initially unsure of the scale. Part of that is because I hadn’t read the book and in that they explain he’s continued to grow and mutate, so he’s larger than the turtles usually are. Don’t miss out on this stellar journey – just remember to hold the pizza and grab a box of tissues instead! The open hands on both figures add a nice variety. The flat open hands especially make me want to make some bandanas for the unarmored figure to hold. Then there are the NECA versions of The Last Ronin! While being a diehard Turtle Fan and likely getting both. I definitely favor NECA. The NECA Figures have pretty much been the epitome of TMNT figures since 2008 or 2009. They are beautifully detailed plus they are incredibly articulate which makes for incredible posing. NECA will have two figures, one in full garb and a topless version. While no release date or concise pictures of the accessories were provided, Trevor Zammit let it be known that all the accessories are ideally being designed to fit on the character as it does in the comic. The belt is the same across both figures, so the unarmored Ronin can store a bunch of the weapons in the belt.
