The NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toylines have introduced me to a lot of new characters over the years. When I see those annual visual checklists I'm always amazed at the breadth of the character selection. Renet is an apprentice Time Master and ally of the Turtles who first appeared in the pages of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #8 (Mirage) in 1986. I had never heard of this character, but I remember the fan reaction when this toy was revealed to be ecstatic. I've since learned that she has appeared in numerous iterations of TMNT comics (including the current Turtles of Grayskull crossover series), two animated series, and numerous games (CCG, Video Games, and HeroClix). It's amazing that such a cool-looking character with such longevity had escaped my notice for so long. I originally planned to swap this figure in favor of her blue Walmart variant. But in retrospect, I prefer the red outfit because it seems to match the overall Mirage palette better than the blue. Let's check out Renet below!
I don't know who this red translucent head is supposed to represent, but it fits on her neck,
although it's scaled a little large for her body.
There was also a blue variant of this figure released as a Walmart Exclusive.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Cheers!
