The Story
Donatello is the Turtle you draft when you want the brains of the team on your shelf. Bo staff, purple mask, and the calm of the one who builds the plan while everyone else is arguing. He rounds out VeVe's core four turtles, joining Michelangelo, who kicked off the set in late 2025, plus Leonardo and Raphael.
The series ran the Season 12 blind box format at $40 a box, with the first available edition starting at #6 and 110 editions held back at launch. Nothing has been burned yet, so the mint numbers below are also the live circulating supply, minus what VeVe withheld.
The Three Variants
You opened a box and found out which Donatello you pulled. Three distinct sculpts, three very different scarcity levels, and one of them is a lot rarer than the "Common" label suggests.
Edition Breakdown
| Variant | Rarity | Editions | Retail | Pull Odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Donatello - Classic | Common | 2,987 | $40 | 1 in 1.18 |
| Donatello - Classic (Special Edition) | Special Edition | 87 | $40 | 1 in 44.84 |
| Donatello - IncogNinja | Ultra Rare | 487 | $40 | 1 in 7.87 |
That is 3,561 editions total. Note the twist: the Special Edition Classic is tagged Common, but at 87 editions and roughly 1 in 45 odds it is by far the hardest pull in the box, rarer than the Ultra Rare IncogNinja. Nothing has been burned, so those counts are the full supply.
Market Context
Donatello is a Season 12 release carrying the standard 8.50% market fee. Early secondary pricing tells the story of the box: the Classic floor sits near retail while the two chase pulls have separated hard. The IncogNinja Ultra Rare has been listing around the high $20s, and the 87 edition Special Edition has climbed into the hundreds. If you did not pull the one you wanted, singles trade on the VeVe secondary market, and plain Classic copies can list below the $40 sealed price once collectors open boxes and move their extras.
Collector's Note
A first Donatello is an easy call if you collect VeVe firsts, and it opens a full Turtles run if the other three brothers get their own series. The Classic is the accessible way to own the character. The real prize is the Special Edition greyscale, where the scarcity and collector interest concentrate, with IncogNinja as the second chase. Ready to dig in?
