It's been forever since I've posted. I've been super busy with work and a move. I've been doing a commission and I have an excess of green paint I mixed, and this custom seemed like a logical thing to do with that excess. I've seen a lot of really good Nic Turtles repaints. Makes those figures so much better! I'm not a huge fan of the figures though. They are a bit small, and although I love the sculpt of them, I don't like the articulation. The Nic turtles I have, I pulled apart to use. I love their accessories, and it's because of that, they made me want to do Movie versions of them. I'm always quick to check out fugazi's custom turtles, because he always makes exactly what he wants, and they look exactly the way he wants them too. That really inspired me to get to a figure I always wanted. Correct scale movie Turtles, well at least one to start! I'm waiting for parts to be delivered for... the rest. I did Leo because I grew up on the comics, and Leo was always so wicked in those. If you haven't read the Leonardo one issue mini series in the Mirage books, well you missed the ultimate Turtle comic. He takes on the entire foot clan himself, and makes it out alive... barely. He's the man, er, Turtle. If you have seen the first film, the scene where Raph is jumped by the Foot clan, is a homage to that book. Recipe: Torso: Nic Donatello Arms, Legs, and Bandanna knot and straps: TMNT movie Mikey Head and back Shell: '91 Movie Star Leo Swords and Sheaths: 2012 Retro Animated Series Leonardo Knee and Elbow Pads: Pads Nic turtles, Bands Jakks Wrestler Belt/Sword Strap: repainted Nic Leonardo - severed adjoining shoulder strap Sculpted connection to front and back detail. Hope you folks like it, and thanks for checking it out! PS- Sorry about the photos. I haven't unpacked my usual lighting rig since I moved. I just really wanted to get this guy posted! ![]() |

AREZ: Always a pleasure sir! Thanks!
toxinvenom: I've always wanted one of these too. Took me forever to get one, or at least the idea how to make one. I hope you are healing up quick!
NeCrollector: Wow! Thanks for the awesome words! They hit deep!
LuvNidleness: Thanks man, I'm glad you like it. You seem to be quite a turtle fan, so I appreciate you saying so.
suprasizeme: I'm waiting on parts. I have a movie star Raph and Mikey on the way, and I have been waiting on an order of 4 2007 cgi movie raph figures for a month now. I did already get my movie star Donnie though. He's been waiting for surgery forever. Thanks so much!
dandare: Your icon was so cool, it made me go through your work. I like your custom choices. Cool stuff! Thanks!
CAb00se: Thanks dude! I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve, are we waiting for your school to finish up until we see more?
illchard: Yeah 'm a bit of an anachronism. It took me forever to figure out how to do this, I've wanted one of these since 1990. Thanks!
Stevid: Coming from you, there isn't much higher praise! Your work has always been an inspiration to me, and you are one of the guys I always looked up to that made me feel like I had a place in this community. I can't thank you enough for that. Keep knocking out the hits, and thank you so much!
JonMichael: Thanks a lot! I am totally with you on how creepy the movie turtles look! The proportion make them look like the version where Danny Devito played them all. It took this: http://www.figurerealm.com/viewcustomfi ... ?FID=37136 set of customs to prove to me with the right paints they would make great parts sources!
darththomas81; Thanks Darth! Once I had the core nic turtle I thought it would be simple to put the rest together, but it took me a while to get a parts combo that work proportion/scale wise. I'm really happy it finally worked!
daredevil96: Thanks! It took that custom I referenced to JonMichael, to make me see there was good work there in the head sculpt. Now I'm loving, and waiting on these figures, for parts.
grungethemovie: You got turtle movie figures? Wow that will be something to see! Thanks for stopping by!
G Brand: Thanks man! You've done such awesome Turtles, coming from you, I take that as a HUGE compliment sir!
