Mezco's One:12 Collective Splinter Is on the Waitlist at $116 With Baby Turtles, a Shikomizue, and Three Portraits

Mezco is treating Splinter as more than just the wise elder figure that completes a Turtle shelf. The official Mezco product page for One:12 Collective Splinter currently lists the figure at $116 on the waitlist as of Friday, July 24, 2026, with an expected ship window of August through October 2026.

This is a live official product page, so here is what is actually confirmed.

What's Confirmed About Splinter

Mezco's official listing confirms the following:

  • Price: $116 on the official Mezco product page
  • Status: waitlist
  • Expected ship window: August through October 2026
  • Part of the One:12 Collective line
  • Approximately 17 cm tall
  • Three interchangeable head portraits
  • Twelve interchangeable hands
  • Sugigasa hat that fits all portraits
  • Fabric underlayers and an integrated posing-wire tail
  • Accessories include a bow with arrows, folding fan, teapot, teacup, flute, shikomizue with concealed blade, lorgnette glasses, broken mutagen container, and four baby turtles in unique static poses
  • Packaged in a collector-friendly box

That gives Splinter a much richer identity than the usual mentor-character slot. Mezco is selling contemplation, ritual, and family history as much as combat.

Why the Baby Turtles Matter More Than the Weapons

The shikomizue and bow are strong accessories, but the four baby turtles are what really make this release feel complete. They turn Splinter from a standalone martial arts master into the emotional center of the TMNT world, which is a much stronger shelf role than simply being the wise rat with weapons.

That is what makes the figure feel warmer and more deliberate than a combat-only setup.

The Posing-Wire Tail Is Not a Throwaway Detail

Splinter's silhouette is a big part of whether the figure looks graceful or awkward, and the integrated posing-wire tail helps a lot more than it first sounds like it would. It gives Mezco a way to make the figure feel alive in stillness, especially when paired with the calmer portraits, the flute, or the teaware.

That matters because Splinter should not need a battle stance to look complete.

Planning Around the Smaller Character Pieces

Because some of the most distinctive accessories here are small and delicate, like the baby turtles, glasses, and tea items, this is the kind of release where good organization preserves the full charm of the package. Losing those quieter props makes the figure much more ordinary.

For keeping the smaller portrait pieces, baby turtles, and meditation accessories organized between setups, an acrylic modular case helps keep everything easier to manage.

For elevating Splinter above the rest of a TMNT shelf or building a more layered mentor display around him, a 4-step acrylic display stand for action figures gives the figure more presence.

Common Mistakes Collectors Make

  • Focusing only on the weapons and ignoring the baby turtles and quieter props that define the figure's personality
  • Leaving the integrated tail in a stiff default position and flattening the silhouette
  • Losing the smaller teaware and glasses because they look secondary next to the weapons
  • Assuming waitlist means normal direct stock is still open

Final Thoughts

This figure works because Mezco understood that Splinter has to carry more than weapons and mentor status. The baby turtles, teaware, hat, and posing-wire tail all help make him feel like the emotional center of a TMNT display instead of just another slot in the roster.

If you are looking at it on Friday, July 24, 2026, the biggest appeal is how much calm character Mezco packed into a release that still looks battle-ready when you want it to.
