La wave 2 des mashups TMNT x Godzilla de Playmates amène Jet Jaguar Donnie et King Caesar Splinter chez Target

Playmates has confirmed the next wave of one of this year's more unexpected toy crossovers. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Godzilla Mashups Collector Wave 2 was revealed at Toy Fair 2026 and reported by Toy News International, following up on Wave 1's Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo mashups with three new pairings exclusive to Target.

What's Confirmed About Wave 2

Toy News International's Toy Fair 2026 coverage confirms the following:

  • Donnie x Jet Jaguar: the Turtles' resident brains fused with Jet Jaguar, the Godzilla universe's robotic defender
  • Shredder x Mecha Godzilla: the Foot Clan's leader rebuilt with cybernetic power inspired by Godzilla's own robotic double
  • Splinter x King Caesar: the Turtles' mentor fused with the ancient guardian kaiju
  • Retailer: exclusive to Target, following Wave 1's own Target-exclusive release
  • Collector-inspired window box packaging matching Wave 1's cracked-cityscape design

As of this writing, Wave 2 hasn't yet appeared as a live product listing on Target.com, and Playmates hasn't announced a specific street date beyond the Toy Fair reveal. Fan requests for Donnie x Jet Jaguar specifically have been showing up in reviews on Wave 1's own Target listings since late 2025, giving a sense of how anticipated this wave already is ahead of an official release date.

Why These Three Pairings Work

Wave 1 leaned on Godzilla's most recognizable kaiju opponents, pairing Leonardo with Godzilla himself, Raphael with Rodan, and Michelangelo with King Ghidorah. Wave 2 shifts toward a broader cast pull from across the Godzilla franchise: Jet Jaguar and King Caesar are both fan-favorite characters from outside Godzilla's core rivals list, while Mecha Godzilla gives Shredder a mechanical, villain-appropriate counterpart rather than pairing him with another kaiju antagonist. That pairing logic, matching each Turtle or supporting character's role to a thematically fitting kaiju, is part of what's made this line stand out from a typical licensed reskin.

How This Builds on Wave 1

Wave 1 established the line's format: 6-inch articulated figures with five points of articulation, styled as a mashup of the 1987 TMNT cartoon and the 1978 Hanna-Barbera Godzilla series, packaged in collector-friendly window boxes with cracked-cityscape artwork. Wave 2 keeps that same format while expanding the roster beyond the four core Turtles to include Splinter and Shredder for the first time, giving the line room to grow past a straightforward one-Turtle-per-kaiju structure.

What Isn't Confirmed Yet

Toy News International's coverage confirms all three Wave 2 pairings and the Target-exclusive distribution, but a specific release date and individual figure pricing haven't been announced as of this writing. Wave 1 figures have retailed in the $16-24 range at Target, giving a reasonable pricing expectation for Wave 2, though official pricing should be confirmed once listings go live.

Protecting a Growing Mashup Collection

EVORETRO doesn't currently carry a protector cut specifically for this line's window box packaging, and that's worth saying plainly rather than pointing to a mismatched product.

For the 6-inch figures once they're out of the box, a no-window-box 6-inch display case protector is sized for the same general figure scale and works as a reasonable stand-in for loose display.

For anyone who wants to keep the collector-friendly window box packaging itself intact and on display, an acrylic modular case gives the sealed box its own protected spot on a shelf.

Common Mistakes Collectors Make

  • Assuming Wave 2 is already available at Target before checking for a live listing
  • Expecting the same kaiju-to-Turtle pairing logic as Wave 1 rather than the broader cast pull Wave 2 introduces with Splinter and Shredder
  • Reaching for a window-box-specific protector that doesn't yet exist for this line
  • Assuming pricing will match Wave 1 exactly before Wave 2's own listings go live
