Collaborative Party Wallop is a roughly-Voyager-sized toy, transforming from humanoid-turtle-like robot into the Turtles' "Party Wagon" vehicle, based on its design in the original [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 TV series)|{{#if:1987 cartoon series|1987 cartoon series|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 TV series)}}]]. In van mode, the roof-mounted (non-firing) guns and side-mounted red "lights" can rotate/elevate, plus the ends of the cannons are Fire Blast effect-compatible. The red side lights and the roof mounted dish are all attached via 3 mm pegs and are removable. The logo/shield in the van's front center can pop off, revealing a tiny personal pan pizza.
In robot mode, Party Wallop has a lot of display options available. Party Wallop's head pops apart above the "muzzle", to be replaced with one of five different skullcaps: a baseline green for default Party Wallop, then four others with "bandanas", one each in one of the Turtles' colors (Leo in blue, Donnie in purple, Raph in red, Mikey in orange). The currently unused skullcaps can be stored in Party Wallop's back assembly/shell. The Wagon's entire front end can stay attached to the robot's torso, or be removed and worn as a shield, revealing a more turtle-plastron-like torso design. This sub-torso features a rotating belt buckle, each side displaying one of the four Turtle's initials (L, D, R, M) in their trademark colors to match the chosen bandana (or not, go nuts).
On top of that, he comes with Cybertronian versions of each of the boys' signature weapons: Leo's katanas, Donnie's bo staff, Raph's sais, and Mikey's nunchaku. All seven of these weapons can be stored in both robot and vehicle mode, with a series of tabs and 5 mm posts/holes allowing all of them to be readily accessible for battle in robot mode, not merely stuffed into his back-shell.
Rather than being packaged in a box like previous Collaborative figures, Party Wallop comes packaged in a large blister pack. Said blister pack uses Generation 1-style package design not dissimilar to Ectotron and Gigawatt, with "rips" in the packaging revealing images of the four Turtles, which reuse contemporary stock art styled after the '80s cartoon.
Party Wallop was accidentally revealed a bit too early by an Amazon Australia listing, which was taken down shortly thereafter. He was then properly revealed on the March 28 Hasbro Pulse fanstream the next day... but not before listings began appearing again, this time making him available for pre-order upwards of a few hours ahead of schedule. He arrived in stores mid July 2024.
