also, i was thinking the way the feet are wrapped, one could make a diagonal cut foot swivel. kind like how sota toys did the street fighter feet i think so they can lay flat in wide stances. but i dunno, i like em as is already.

looked up the tape.... think i may get some to add onto iron fist or if i ever get around to making an ares.

Well i did some googling and it says here:
Ninja Pizza | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles News & Information that the first wave of figures and vehicles are scheduled for August!!! YAY!!! And they have a $7-$9 pricetag!! Theres also mention of an SDCC exclusive figure!!
i was thinking the exact same about the inkwash....keep it simple,but effective!! If you look at the groupshot in the link i posted you can see the height/colour differences they have used to make each turtle individual,they could have cheaped out and just used the same body four times with four different heads,in four different colours but they didnt. Gotta pay respect for that attention to detail!!!

Yeah try the tape out let me know your thoughts,i had one of those "i wonder if" moments and it works pretty well!!!
