*** 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. ***
I’m pretty psyched for the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, but the official Playmates figures leave a lot to be desired. So I decided to fix them in order to bring the movie designs to life in action figure form. I studied several images and trailer stills in order to get down every detail. Each figure has been fully repainted from head to toe. I gave them spots on their skin, Japanese Kanji on their bandanas and shells, and realistic shading, highlights, and weathering. 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 also added the NYC button on his weapon strap. For Michelangelo, I added the shades hanging around his necklace, and the tattoo on his left bicep. 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 Donatello, I used the head from the Combat Warrior figure as well, because the sculpt of the head gear was much more detailed, and looked a lot better. I made his glasses out of craft wire, with sewing thread for the tape and painted them to look like tortoiseshell frames. I also used sewing thread for the electrical wiring to connect pieces of his equipment, including the iPads on the back of his belt. Of course I also went through and gave all their weapons realistic repaints as well, adding real chain to Mikey’s. And now that the Ninja Turtles actually look like they do from the movie, they’re ready to take down Shredder and the entire Foot Clan. COWABUNGA!

Hi,what kind of Colors to you use ?
I use Testors Model Masters, and some Citadel as well. All acrylics.
Hey love the design. Was curious if the symbols you have on the bandana are actually the symbols that are in the movies. If so do you happen to know what they mean?
They are the same symbols from the movie, as best as I can gather from screenshots. I have no idea what they mean though.
Just wondering if your are selling those really detailed ninja turtles. Very nice!
