If you’re a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan, digital collector, or just someone who believes in the enduring magic of 80s nostalgia meeting cutting-edge tech, January 3, 2026 was your day!

VeVe’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Leonardo digital collectible sold out in nostalgic fashion, proving once again that digital collecting is thriving even when mainstream news headlines focus on its negativity.

"Funny thing about anger. Let it consume you and soon enough... you lose sight of everything."

From dojo discipline to daring street heroics, Leonardo hit the VeVe marketplace with a lineup of iconic variants that captured the blue-bandana leader’s tactical precision and heroic heart, honouring the Turtle fans know and love.

With 3451 digital collectibles sold, VeVe & Paramount Picture’s licensed drop grossed a COWABUNGA inspiring $138,040 and that’s before accounting for secondary marketplace activity, where both VeVe and Paramount continue to earn ongoing royalties every time these NFTs change hands.

If this is your first time reading one of my articles on THAT subject, just think of it like buying a plastic packaged TMNT back as a kid. The brand & store made their money at the checkout...if you decided to resell the toy to your pals, the IP had no play, so looking to the future of brands ADORING the benefit blockchains possess, it's all but a matter of time until they're all playing.

BIG BUCK BOUNTIES

Even more fun, the excitement extended with a $5,000 BOUNTY offered by collecting enthusiasts COMICS & CRYPTO to whomever was lucky enough to land Edition #1984, representing the year @TMNT hatched!

(The winner accepted a private offer that generated an immediate return of 12,425% showing the continued flow of real dollars focusing on licensed, key assets in the digital collectibles space).

THIS ISN'T JUST A STATISTIC, IT'S A STATEMENT

In a world where the media and of course, Twitter, too often highlight doom and gloom in their feeble attempts to gain views and impressions to sell ad revenue, the Leonardo sell-out reminds us that enthusiastic communities, vibrant fandoms, and meaningful digital ownership are very much alive and kicking (just like the Turtles themselves)!

Whether you snagged a Classic Common, Scarce Special Edition or limited Ultra Rare variants, you’re now part of a collector moment that blended TMNT legacy with next-gen digital asset culture.
