TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES FIRSTS PETER LAIRD ORIGINAL SKETCH TURTLE  (BOTTLENECK GALKERY / ISH 2023)
Fresh from the historical sewers, Bottleneck Gallery teamed up with ISH to release Peter Laird's TMNT Figure!
Alongside ISH, Bottleneck grew up with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics, cartoons, and movies, and they had the immense pleasure of seeing artists they love create art for the pop culture juggernaut.
They we also love the history behind the TMNT, and they came up with a radical release that brings Laird’s initial idea and concept from a scribble on a napkin to life as an awesome collectible figure!
As the legend goes, one night at Mirage Studios in 1983, Laird was shown a drawing of a ‘Ninja Turtle’ by Kevin Eastman as a joke, which would later be referred to as the ‘First Turtle.’ In response, Laird illustrated his version of a masked turtle wielding weapons. The two artists had unknowingly created what would turn into the phenomena known as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Both Ish and Bottleneck worked with Laird’s initial concept to lovingly produce Laird’s Ninja Turtle as a limited edition collectible figure with illustration-accurate details. Although the Turtles’ look has evolved over time, they are excited to honor the awesome origin of some of our favorite comic book characters ever!
The static figure is fully coloured with a red bandana and stands at 7 inch tall.
Sealed in box.
