TMNT 1st Cover Deluxe Diorama Signed by Kevin Eastman

Before the cartoons, before the movies, before the pizza-loving pop icons… there was a gritty black-and-white comic book that changed pop culture forever.

Now, Iron Studios proudly pays tribute to that legendary moment with the new TMNT 1st Cover Deluxe Diorama - a collector’s dream come true, inspired by the original 1984 debut artwork by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. But this isn’t just any collectible - this Deluxe version is strictly limited to 200 units worldwide and comes with Kevin Eastman’s signature on the base.

Only available on the Iron Studios official website, this is the ultimate tribute for true Turtles fans.

A Direct Homage to TMNT’s Comic Book Origins

This 1/10 scale deluxe diorama is directly based on the first-ever Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic cover, published by Mirage Studios in May 1984. The statue features Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo standing together on a city rooftop, weapons drawn, ready for battle - just as they appeared in their debut.

Unlike their later color-coded look, the design reflects the original comic style:

• All Turtles wear red masks

• The gritty, urban New York base captures the underground feel of the early Mirage comics

• Bonus interchangeable heads (with blue, purple, red, and orange bandanas) allow fans to blend classic and modern styles

The sculpt and pose are a 1:1 translation of Eastman’s original cover art, making it a true museum-quality piece.

This is more than a collectible - it’s a piece of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles history.

Kevin Eastman: The Man Behind the Mask

Without Kevin Eastman, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles simply wouldn’t exist.

As co-creator of the franchise, Eastman’s original sketch - a ninja turtle holding nunchaku - started it all. Alongside Peter Laird, Eastman self-published the very first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic in 1984. Their raw, independent vision sparked a global phenomenon, leading to animated series, blockbuster films, toys, video games, and decades of fandom.

Today, Eastman remains an icon in the comic book world - not only as the father of the TMNT, but as a symbol of indie creator success. His involvement in this Iron Studios piece gives it an emotional and historical weight unmatched by standard releases.

For long time fans, collectors, and comic book purists, the TMNT 1st Cover Deluxe Diorama is a once-in-a-lifetime piece. It doesn’t just capture the Turtles - it captures their origin, their style, and the creative spark that turned four sewer-dwelling brothers into legends.

With only 200 signed units worldwide, this isn’t just a statue - it’s a milestone. And once it’s gone, it’s gone.
