A Radical Summer Throwback
Collectors, get ready! NECA is making waves once again with their latest San Diego Comic-Con exclusive: the Sewer Surfing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4-Pack. This special edition honors the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon series and captures the beachy vibe of the Turtles like never before. As we prepare for SDCC 2025, this set has quickly become one of the most talked-about items on collector forums and fan sites—and for good reason.
With its colorful presentation, strong sense of nostalgia, and NECA's commitment to accurate design, the Sewer Surfing pack is a must-have for longtime fans and new collectors. It offers more than just figures; it’s a moment in time. Specifically, it’s a nod to those relaxing summer episodes of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, when our favorite heroes in a half-shell left the sewers for sandy beaches and surfing.
Turtles in Beach Mode
This 4-pack includes all four iconic Turtles—Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael—each standing 7 inches tall and fully articulated for dynamic poses. What makes this version special is the beach-ready look, with each turtle dressed in vibrant soft goods like floral Hawaiian shirts, bold board shorts, and even removable retro sunglasses. The attention to detail is exceptional, with each character’s personality reflected in their unique design and surf style.
But this isn’t just about the outfits. Each Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle comes with custom accessories that take the theme to the next level. The pack includes four uniquely designed surfboards featuring colorful, ‘90s-style graphics, a large sculpted wave base for display, a detailed fabric sail, and plenty of snack-friendly accessories—like pizza boxes and slices—for when the turtles need to refuel after catching waves.
NECA has skillfully used their signature cel-shading paint technique on each figure, giving them a bold, animated look that mirrors the original cartoon. From the paint to the accessory designs, everything feels true to the show, creating a seamless tribute to the animated series.
Packaging That Pops with Nostalgia
Presentation is important, especially for collectibles, and NECA really stepped it up here. The box design features exclusive art by Ken Mitchroney, one of the original illustrators behind the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics and cartoons. His vibrant, expressive style perfectly fits the theme and makes the packaging itself a collectible.
The packaging is more than just a box; it’s a tribute. With its bright, late-’80s visuals and glossy comic-inspired layout, the box captures the era that TMNT fans cherish. Whether you're a mint-in-box collector or someone who proudly displays your figures, this presentation is sure to impress. It’s the kind of box you want to keep on your shelf, not hide away in a closet.
Why This Set Stands Out
What truly sets the Sewer Surfing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4-Pack apart is its ability to connect with a specific part of TMNT history. While many collectible releases focus on combat gear, sewer tech, or cityscapes, this set embraces the Turtles’ lighter, more fun side. It celebrates those classic cartoon episodes where the stakes were low, the pizza was hot, and the beach vibes were high.
The soft goods clothing adds a premium feel and offers more customization than standard sculpted plastic outfits. The accessories are both useful and thematic—everything from the surfboards to the pizza props fits into the overall vibe without feeling forced. And with NECA’s quality in sculpting and painting, these figures aren’t just fun; they’re display-ready works of art.
This release also appeals to collectors who care about cohesion. When displayed together on the wave base with their beach gear, the figures create a scene that looks like it came straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon. It’s that level of immersive detail that has made NECA a favorite for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collectors worldwide.
How to Get It at SDCC 2025
Priced at $149.99, the Sewer Surfing TMNT 4-Pack will be available exclusively at NECA’s SDCC booth (#3545) from July 24 to 27, 2025. A short online pre-sale occurred in June, with limited quantities released each day—and all sold out within minutes. If you missed out then, your best chance is to hit the convention floor early.
With high demand and limited production, this is expected to be one of SDCC 2025’s fastest-selling exclusives. After-market prices are already climbing, making this a essential find for collectors and Turtle fans who want to avoid the eBay rush.
A Must-Have for TMNT Collectors
The Sewer Surfing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set is arguably one of NECA’s most imaginative and well-executed exclusives yet. It successfully balances nostalgia, character authenticity, and fun design in a way that few modern collectibles achieve. Whether you grew up watching the original cartoon or are just discovering the charm of these sewer-dwelling heroes, this pack delivers.
It’s rare to find a set that feels like both a celebration and a standalone piece, but NECA has succeeded. This release captures everything fun and iconic about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise while still offering something fresh and exciting for today’s collectors.
If you’re going to SDCC this year, make this a priority. And if you're watching from home, keep an eye on NECA’s store and social media—surprise restocks have happened before, and this might be your best chance.
