Over the weekend, at an exhibition in China, a new series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures were revealed. The new TMNT Mecha Figures are being produced by a collaboration between two companies called Snap Design Development and Heat Boys. Fans may remember Snap Design as DreamEX, who produced a series of really nice looking TMNT 1/6 Scale Figures a few years back.
The new TMNT Mecha Figures are officially licensed releases. New images have been posted by Snap Design on their Weibo page. They look to be roughly 1/6 scale figures, but exact size of the figures wasn’t revealed at the time of this writing. UPDATE: The Leonardo is about 9″ tall, with the Shredder expected to be a little over 8.5″ tall. An unpainted prototype for Leonardo was on display, as well as art card for Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Shredder. There isn’t much information available at this time. We’ll keep an eye out for updates, and share any news we see. You can see the photos, and a closer look at the art, after the jump.

what a shame, would have been day 1 purchases of all 5, if it was 1/12 scale, their beautiful, and have so many great details, i hope they sell well so they think about the 1/12 transition... or maybe i hope they dont sell at all, then theill come out in 1/12 scale?
We won't know the exact size until closer to release. These are just prototypes. Snap Design (previously DreamEX) seems to only do larger scale figures, so there's likely little chance of these coming out in different scales.
Neat, Raph is quite the tank.
These are really cool. Shredder is freaking cool as hell looking!
I bet these will be EXPENSIVE... I don't need them that bad lol
Some of the info they've put out on weibo said the models will feature a skeletal frame system. So it seems like these might be similar to Master Grade Gundam kits. So maybe about 8-9 inches tall or so.

damn their kits seen to go for $100 to $150+.
as cool as it would be to have that shredder, im not paying double a Master Grade price
are these licensed designs? or are they operating in that 3rd party grey area? they just come across as shameless copies of gundam w.

Finally, I thought this project was dead. They look awesome.
These look nice! One thing is that Raphael looks a lot like what I would imagine Shredder to be.
These looks sick as HELL!!! And Shredder is everything that I wanted in a mech since I was a kid.
It's also cool how the actual turtles sit inside the mechs (e.g. Leo), but it's strange that they're in the back. Very hyped regardless!
Interesting....
Will keep my eye's peeled ;^)
