"Money cannot buy the honor which you have earned tonight," but money can buy this damn cool toy of the guy that said that.


Got the Gamestop NECA Shredder in today and very much just as with the turtles last year I'm liking him very much. Mine does have a stuck lower hinge on his right elbow but otherwise everything seems to be moving decently. The details on this guy are great and really do a nice job of representing his movie design, awkwardly big helmet and all. The mask is removable but I already know I'm never going to bother with it because I just like the complete look too much. His bitchin' disco cape definitely came out well for a soft-goods piece but it is on the larger side so it might not fit great in a group display. The cape does have a working clasp/hook-and-loop piece but it doesn't really seem necessary and looks like it might be a pain to undo when taking it off. As far as the rest of his accessories go it's all good stuff. The knife and its small sheath work, I like his array of alternate hands, and his spear (or pointy-stick if you prefer) is very solidly made. Paintwork is generally very good, particularly on his face, and I like the way they handled his clothing's glitter-like effect without overdoing it. There is a small amount of silver paint missing on one of his right shoulder-pad's blades but given where it is that's a pretty small mistake in my book. Overall I'm definitely happy with it and hopefully everyone who wants one can get one.
