Got something you need to share with the group!?

I'm hoping they do a 3.75"/4" at some point, I'd like me a MU scale Shredder! (Very happy with the NECA Turtles though.)

Well here it is, buddy. This is what it looks like. Want another example? The Jim Lee Cyclops' gloves, boots, belt and bascially anything else that's yellow on him in pure yellow plastic. It looks cheap. Yeah, the figure is nice, but it has it's flaws. Part of the reason I think the ninjas look kind of cheap is that the flesh hasn't been given any sort of wash or highlight.

I think the older MK figures benefit from the wash/highlights they've been given. I'm happy to do it myself if it's lacking though in the final product though.
