I don't know much about Mattel's ring offerings, but the turtles are shorter than a typical WWE or AEW figure, but chunkier. Cryin' Houn' is quite a bit larger than the turtles. If the rings scale small to the wrestling figures than they could look even smaller with the Archie turtles. If they're more true-to-life, then it would probably look okay, though it won't be as stylized as an Archie comic depiction. I feel like they could clash as a result, but that's just me. I'm thinking of making a shelf for my figures and putting turnbuckles on the front with an "apron" around it. I don't think I have any desire (or room) or a full-fledged ring.

Store inventory is also live which is a big help. I was at a local Target just last night looking for Leatherhead and Rat King which popped up today. Ran down and got the last two I was missing from this drop (aside from Belly Bomb).

I was able to get the STUMP Wrestling 4 pack just now online.  I'm so happy I didn't miss it.  I don't have access to many Targets, so I was not finding this thing in stores.

@supercamel-1982 I'm glad you didn't have to risk going into the Target slowly sliding into the bowels of hell!

@justice 

LOL.  Thanks man. 

I was SOOOOO happy these showed up online today.

I even just went back and ordered Leatherhead and Mondo from the Archie line.  I love this Archie comics stuff as much as the Toon figures.

@supercamel-1982 I never read a single TMNT comic until the Last Ronin.  I was always 100% in on TMNT just because of the cartoon but even I am starting to prefer the Archie line to the cartoon line.  They are just so vibrant, animated, and fun.  That shelf is going to have to expand soon for sure.  I am running out of room.

I’m super excited that I’m up to date on the Archie turtles. My buddy and fellow Fwoosher hooked me up with the 4 pack and Cryin Houn. I went with Ali Express for Leatherhead, Mondo and Bellybomb. 

I would love if they could at least make Wingnut and Screwloose and a regular Leatherhead to round out the Mutanimals. But I’d be really happy if they give us Stump and Sling and figure out how to do Cudley the Cowlick.

That's...brilliant, actually! That's a great idea.

I got my STUMP Wrestling Turtles 4 pack today from Target.com

I love this set.  It is one of my favorite action figure purchases ever, and that is saying a lot after decades of collecting.  I just love the way these figures look.

I guess I'll also echo that I love how (ironically enough) animated and alive the Archie figures are even compared to the toon turtles. It's kind of amazing that we have..what? Four? Five? Different art styles of TMNT in action figure form on shelves all at once.

Has anyone here any rumors from neca on what’s next for Archie tmnt? I know they showed an Ace Duck prototype and said they’ve discussed making the wrestling ring. I think they hunted at an El Mysterio repaint of Cryin Houn too.

But other than that, have we heard any hints?

@supercamel-1982 I totally agree. The excitement I felt when I knew I had my wrestling turtles acquired was a feeling I hadn’t felt in years. These figures just bring me back to an early excitement I used to feel for the turtles when I’d get a new figure as a kid or pick up a new issue of the Archie comics.

Wasn't there something like last April (or the one before?) teasing April-as-a-Turtle?

EDIT: Yup: https://www.theoldturtleden.net/post/neca-teases-new-figure-based-on-april-the-5th-turtle-from-archie-comics
