One of the latest designs to gain the required 10,000 supporters and added to a future review stage at LEGO Ideas is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 by TrumanBricks!
The talented designer behind the brick-built recreation is TrumanBricks, has built a modular-style set inspired by the early (and best) years of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It started out as a comic book and animation series in the 1980s and has remained a beloved franchise ever since, with a major animated movie released a couple of years ago. Being a fan myself, I can totally relate to this set and what the creator has done. Also being a fan of LEGO I appreciate the attention to detail and the choice of design, the modular building is a great way to bring the TMNT into a Cityscape.
This set comes with the iconic Sewer Lair, the Party Wagon, and a Pizza place. Each floor of the modular can be easily detached for play and access to the interior elements. On the street, there’s an all out battle raging between the Turtles and fan-favorite villains: Shredder, Krang, and Bebop & Rocksteady!
The set is inspired by the episode where Shredder opened a Pizza place to track down the Turtles. Here, little does he know, the Turtle’s lair is right beneath his feet. Also included are Krang‘s giant android body and an April O’Neil Minifigure.
The idea looks great and totally different to what has been seen before, that includes the long forgotten LEGO theme. If LEGO decide to make it, it would be one many fans would love the opportunity to purchase, display on their shelf, and admire. I think the overall look is great and the choice of build style is stunning, it certainly brings something different to the LEGO Ideas table.
Unfortunately reaching the required goal of 10,000 supporters doesn’t guarantee it’ll be made into a real-life LEGO set, but there is hope for fans as the LEGO Ideas team will debate on and choose which sets will be lucky enough to make it through sometime next/this year – we wish TrumanBricks the best of luck in the next stage – it’s truly beautiful.
