Playmates Toys Action figures based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise have been produced by Playmates Toys since 1988.

In the original Last Ronin series, Michelangelo took on the titular role as he became the last surviving member of his family, as Donatello, Rafael, Leonardo, and Master Splinter were all killed by the Foot Clan.

On October 21, 2009, Viacom published a press release announcing that it had bought the complete rights of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise from Peter Laird for $60 million, and would be developing a CGI-animated TV series for its Nickelodeon family of channels for broadcast in 2012.

In that series, each turtle is a different species: Leonardo is a red-eared slider, Raphael a snapping turtle, Donatello a softshell turtle and Michelangelo a box turtle. As red-eared sliders were kept as pets, they began to be released or escaped into their environments.

Michelangelo It's a great answer from Waltz, as Michelangelo becoming the Last Ronin turned out to be the perfect choice among the brothers. But, as he mentions, it's also a full-circle moment to make Mikey the last surviving Turtle.
