On Raphael I carved the scar over his lip, painted the tattoo on his right bicep, and gave him some shades that fit on his forehead. For Michelangelo, I added the shades hanging around his necklace, and the tattoo on his left bicep. I also added the NYC button on his weapon strap. For Leonardo I used the head from the Combat Warrior figure (the one where you squeeze the legs to make the arms swing), because it’s actually smaller than the basic figure’s head (which is too big), and it sits better on the figure. I gave them spots on their skin, Japanese Kanji on their bandanas and shells, and realistic shading, highlights, and weathering. Each figure has been fully repainted from head to toe. I studied several images and trailer stills in order to get down every detail. So I decided to fix them in order to bring the movie designs to life in action figure form. I’m pretty psyched for the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, but the official Playmates figures leave a lot to be desired. *** Head on over to my Ebay Auctions to see what’s available this week, or commission me if you’d like your very own custom action figure like this one.
