Definitely an "out of left field/who the fuck asked for this?" kind of release.
I barely remembered the flashback scene so I checked it out on YouTube and it's less than 90 seconds long and so darkly-lit you can barely see what the guys look like. Again, this is such a weird release. That said, if you're excited for it, that's awesome. It might sell well since it wouldn't only appeal to TMNT fans, but also guys who might just want some generic kung-fu dudes as well. Hell, people made fun of me when I got all excited over the Marvel Legends White Rabbit release, so I guess I shouldn't poke fun at this set, lol. Last edited by Dolemite; 06-22-2021 at 03:15 PM.. |

Very economical parts re-use between them. I'm particularly impressed by the alternated highlights on the pants, the left thighs almost look like different sculpts. Until I remembered what he was wearing when he died, I was this close to complaining they didn't have a Splinter cradling his ear or stroking Yoshi's hand
It might be made to use as much existing tooling as possible, but the scene struck me hard as a kid and I'm glad to see it being represented here. Something about the surreal, impressionistic portrayal of everything, the black sets showing only what mattered, the degraded film, it was a genuinely affecting display of old, faded memory where the fine details had been long lost Little kid me was impressed, at least |

So which one of the is supposed to be young Shredder while the other one is Splinter's human master?
They both look the same due to the pants clothes etc |

Mr. Eyebrows in the ninja smoking jacket (with rat-slashed alt head) is future Shredder, the much more friendly looking fellow on the right is Hamato Yoshi

The one on the left is young Shredder, the giveaway is his alternate scarred face.

I would love to see them do the Turtles in Samurai armor from TMNT 3. |

I really want this set to set up a Shadow Warrior Foot Clan display. Have the two of them squaring off in a Foot themed dojo with the foot soldiers surrounding them. Like the fight that started their rivalry in the past of Yoshi beating Saki , the rightful heir to the leadership of the Foot, and Saki feeling disgrace in front of his clan and vowing revenge.... I may have thought too much about all this , HA!

I think it's pretty cool. Don't know that it's $50 cool, but I'll likely still get them.
Yeah they really don't have any other characters they can pull from. Maybe we will get the bathtub Raph was in, or the old truck Casey Jones fixed next lol! |

I'm all for these. I love the movie and that flash back is clear as day to me.
Gimme Sam Rockwell, Tatsu, Keno, Danny's Dad, and the Police Chief now. Throw in Professor Perry while you're at it. |
