TMNT Out of the Shadows Week: Baxter Stockman

Baxter Stockman is the "mad scientist" type from the TMNT universe responsible for the creation of the mousers and also being known as the cartoon version of Jeff Goldblum or David Hedison (the actors who played The Fly on film for those wondering...)

Tyler Perry will bring Baxter Stockman to screen tomorrow - and we'll see what the filmmakers decide to do with him. For today, let's check out some Baxter-related collectibles...

Baxter Stockman's First Appearance
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #2 by Mirage (1984)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #2

OK, so this book is rare and valuable on its own, and it really has more to do with the fact that it's the second Turtle issue ever, and less to do with Baxter Stockman. First and second printings go for big bucks if you can track one down. PS - Also the first appearance of April O'Neil and the Mousers.

Baxter Stockman Figures by Playmates (1989 & 2013)

Baxter Stockman figure (Nickelodeon version) by Playmates

Two variations of Baxter Stockman... The '80s cartoon version from the first run of TMNT figures is the rarer and much pricier figure of Baxter after his "Fly" episode.
The second figure from 2013 depicts him as he's seen in the current Nickelodeon run of the Turtles and is easy to find.
