Most Donatello action figures are made from plastic; some collectible releases are produced in vinyl and are explicitly labeled as such.
Articulation varies widely between releases: some figures have only a few points of articulation, while higher-end or collector figures can offer up to about 31 points for extensive poseability.
Age ratings vary by release: some figures are labeled for young children (e.g., 3 years and up or 4 years and up), while many collectible/collector-focused figures are marked for teens or adults (commonly 14 years and up, with some listed 16 years and up).
Many releases use window-display or collector-friendly window box packaging and include character artwork or themed illustrations. Some boxes have opening front flaps or other display-friendly features branded to the movie or series.
Variants include media tie-ins and crossover releases with other TV or streaming series, video-game crossover figures, comic-artist or special-artist editions, and collaboration/anniversary limited-edition runs that feature distinct styling.
