Vern (2014 Movie)

The Vern minifigure from the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is a desirable piece for collectors completing their TMNT minifigure collection. Its inclusion in only one set contributes to its appeal, especially for those focusing on completing all the minifigs from the 2014 TMNT movie line.

The minifigure's unique head print and reddish-brown combed-back hair are distinctive features. The dark blue jacket torso print adds to the character's visual appeal and makes it easily recognizable from the movie. Collectors often prioritize minifigures in excellent condition, with minimal wear on the printed details.

Vern appears exclusively in the 'Turtle Van Takedown' set (79115-1), released in 2014. Given its single set appearance and the set's retirement, the minifigure has a limited supply on the aftermarket. While not a limited edition, the single set appearance contributes to its relative scarcity compared to minifigures appearing in multiple sets. Its availability is primarily through online marketplaces like BrickLink and eBay.

As a character from a licensed theme, Vern's investment potential is tied to the ongoing popularity of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. While not a central character, completionist collectors of the TMNT line will seek out this minifigure. The 'Turtle Van Takedown' set has retired, and the price of the set drives the price of the individual minifigure. Monitor the aftermarket prices and condition to assess its potential for appreciation.
