NECA SCCC TMNT Premonition of a Pre-Mutation Box Set

WHOA, WHOA, hold it!

Hamato Yoshi is the human form of Splinter? I've always learned that Splinter's pre-mutation form is a rat, and he learned Ninjitsu from Hamato Yoshi, before Hamato Yoshi got killed. When did that changed?

Man Splinter and Yoshi look so off model

Zeorn · 05-23-2022, 10:07 AM

Are they also potentially showing the upcoming Sewer Lair in these pictures?

Looks like a nice set, if it's available when I go I'll pick it up.

They've shown that off before in various other photos, but I imagine something like that is coming. Maybe after the van is delivered.

Jingle bells! I LOVE THE HUMAN CHARACTERS! This is a dream come true. I need I need I need.

It really depends on the medium. In the cartoon and Archie comics, Yoshi mutated into Splinter.

In the original Mirage Comics and Movie, Yoshi owned Splinter as a pet.

In the new IDW run, Splinter is the reincarnation of the Feudal era Yoshi.

I'm really hoping they reveal a new April to replace the old one - it was just a total misfire and the prototype looked much better.

As for this set, I don't see myself getting it, but I do like the accessories.

Every time they announce anything cartoon that isn't the Ultimate April they said was coming "soon" in December 2021, it gets me very irritated. I really hope she is, in fact, coming soon at this point and that it's a preorder item direct from NECA (and no limit of 2 please).

As for this set, I never thought I'd be totally uninterested in a human Baxter, but after seeing this, I am totally uninterested.

Perfect SDCC set IMO... which means really cool, but I don't want it.

In the original cartoon Yoshi was somehow turned into a rat. In the original comics and every other iteration since (at least, as far as I know), Splinter was Yoshi's pet rat.

Wow. Thanks for the clarifications. I thought I knew the Turtles, but I guess I've missed a lot.

Zeorn · 05-24-2022, 09:02 AM

In the 2012 CGI TMNT series Splinter was also Hamato Yoshi. He even had a human daughter from pre-ratification.

Yoshi is never a full-on rat in the old cartoon. In the 1987 show, he is a human in the sewers who takes care of four baby turtles. They are then all mutated by the pink (later green) mutagen, and he becomes a rat/man hybrid.

I can't speak for the "every other iteration" bit, I only followed the original TMNT, but in the '90 film, he is indeed the pet rat- remember the scene in which Splinter tells Danny his origin story? In fact, here it is:

IIRC, this was also the case in the Mirage comics.

But yes, in the original 'toon and toyline, he was indeed Yoshi himself.

Sorry, I clarified my post. I meant that Yoshi is never turned into a rat in the 1987 show. He is a man/rat hybrid.

I know in many other iterations Yoshi and Splinter are separate characters, with Splinter being a rodent first and then a rodentman.

Didn’t really know where else to put this, but for anyone that missed out on the catwoman from Channel 6 set, it’s available here, I’d get one myself but they don’t ship internationally.
