Granitor is a high-ranking gray Stone Warrior. Granitor was created by Krang, just like the other Stone Warriors, from the rocks of Dimension X when the mutagen touched them, and was indoctrinated to be a warrior for Krang who he owed ​​absolute loyalty and lived only for war.

Recipe:
... was mostly given in the pre-release.
Now it's time to go back to the figure again...

Many years later, when I received an Argentinean bootleg Turtle Tank and decided to give it in disposal of stone officers (this tank was more associated with Krang's vehicles, rather then turtles'), I looked at my figure again. Then I compared it with the released Granitor figure from NECA and saw my next mistakes.
1) Lt. Granitor is not only tall and massive in the shoulders, but also quite wide in the chest.
2) He has no chin at all and a rather narrow angular face.
I replaced his body again, added even more stones, and at the same time added more details (such as straps from a flamethrower, etc.). I remade the face, although I did not manage to narrow it down much. In my opinion, he became even a little taller. Well, since Playmates approached the creation of figures creatively, and did not always follow the originals exactly, then I decided to try to follow their style and add my own elements to the look.

But still something bothered me - that is, that the lieutenant's face remained quite wide. So, a few months later I picked up the scalpel again and, finally, I managed to achieve the desired result.
