Flea Market Hunting : TMNT

We also got Genghis Frog! Released in 1989 as part of the second wave of TMNT figures.

Genghis Frog is one of the Punk Frogs, a group of four frogs that were mutated and trained by Shredder. As Splinter had named his Turtles after his heroes, the Renaissance artists of Italy, Shredder named the Frogs after his heroes - would-be world conquerors and dictators.

Its a cool action figure but sadly is missing all of his accessories.

  2. I just can never get into this line. Talking turtles and frogs? Somehow I can buy Star Wars with Aliens etc. but this one was for the kids. I think I was 18 when they came out.

    1. For kids yes but lots of adults love TMNT. The original comic books were dark and violent. Then it become colourful and friendly.
