Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Leonardo’s Electronic Katana Sword with Real Battling Sound Effects Leonardo, in the always unusual world of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is the leader of the crime fighting team that battles the evil Shredder. And while his leadership post may be credited to his charismatic personality and steely determination, credit must also be given to his enormous sword. This is a kid-size recreation of that weapon measuring about three feet long and made of plastic. It features no sharp edges making the injury risk more related to bonking than cutting. We had a hard time getting the compartment open to screw in the two AA batteries (not included) but once they’re installed the sword makes a fun variety of swooshing and clanking sounds to accompany pretend battles. Apart from the Ninja Turtle logo on the handle, it’s a pretty neutral sword and could probably fit in well in other pretend play scenarios (pirates, knights, Middle-earth). But it is still a sword and parents should be aware that it will always resemble a dangerous weapon. A blue Leonardo eye mask is also included. –Charlie Williams
Customer Review: great for pretending
This is a nice toy for those little prentend Ninja Turtles. My 3 year old loves it. He puts it in the back of his shirt and then pulls it out. He loves the sounds it makes too. I think that anyone who has a child that loves the turtles as much as mine does will love this sword and the cloth mask it comes with.
Customer Review: This is a pretty cool toy
My son is 3 and he loved getting the sword and mask for his birthday. My one complaint is that the mask didn’t fit very well and kept falling off, or shifting so that he couldn’t see, no matter how tight I tied it. It would have been better if elastic I think. The sword is definitely cool enough. It makes neat sounds, and he still plays with the sword every day.
