- Party Wallop is an Autobot affiliated with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (via Collaborative)
Party Wallop is one bot who's ready to kick some shell.
Toys
Collaborative
- Party Wallop (June 2024)
- Accessories: 5 skullcaps (Party Wallop, Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo), 2 katana, bo staff, 2 sai, 2 nunchaku, mini-pizza
- Known designers: Amy Bence (packaging artist), Matthew Cohen (photography)[1]
- 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 1987 cartoon 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 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 of the Turtles' colors (Leo in blue, Donnie in purple, Raph in red, Mikey in orange). The currently-unused skullcaps can store in Party Wallop's back assembly/shell. The Wagon's entire front end can stay attached as 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 store 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 an 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.
Notes
- Party Wallop's pupil-less, toothy scowl recalls the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figure range by Playmates Toys, which (partially thanks to using the original comic series as a basis) used this expression for nearly every figure of the four Ninja Turtles.
