First Michelangelo NFT

The Story

Michelangelo is the Turtle you draft when you want the heart of the crew on your shelf. Nunchaku, orange mask, and the loose grin of the one cracking jokes while the plan comes together around him. He is the fun-loving center of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the party dude who still lands the hit when it counts, and this is the first time VeVe has sculpted him on-chain.

The series ran the Season 11 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. Mikey slots into the same brand run as his brothers, so this drop wires straight into the first Donatello NFT, the first Leonardo NFT, and the first Raphael NFT for anyone chasing the full set of four.

The Three Variants

You opened a box and found out which Michelangelo you pulled. Three distinct sculpts, three very different scarcity levels, and one of them is a lot rarer than the "Common" label suggests.

Michelangelo - Classic

Common$40

2,987 editions. The standard hero sculpt, orange bandana flowing and nunchaku on standby.

Classic (Special Edition)

Special Edition$40

87 editions. Greyscale comic homage with a red mask, a nod to the 1984 Eastman and Laird comic where all four brothers wore red.

Michelangelo - IncogNinja

Ultra Rare$40

487 editions. Trench coat and fedora undercover look, referencing the 1994 Undercover Turtles "Secret Agent" toys.

Edition Breakdown

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

Michelangelo is a Season 11 release under the Paramount Pictures license, carrying the standard 8.50% market fee. The box splits the way you would expect: the Classic floor sits close to the $40 retail while the two chase pulls separate out, the 487 edition IncogNinja Ultra Rare and the 87 edition Special Edition greyscale commanding the premiums. 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 Michelangelo is an easy call if you collect VeVe firsts, and it slots into a full Turtles run alongside Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael. The Classic is the accessible way to own the party dude. The real prize is the Special Edition greyscale, where the scarcity and collector interest concentrate, with the IncogNinja as the second chase. Ready to dig in?
