For the price I could have done without the ninja head and babushka shawl for favor of a happier looking head or traditional gritted teeth. Seems a waste to include a "meditating/sleeping" head when you can just swap the eyes on these; just include eyelid colored eyes rather than give me 2 very similar head sculpts. Not particularly fond of Leo's "screaming at the tv" head either. Seems more like a Raph sculpt overall. The Roadkill Rodney is nice but the bland head sculpts on these make me like it less than Donnie. Basically I'm stuck with one actual head sculpt I'll use that I can swap the eyes on.

I would be all over these at 1:12 scale. I really dig the look of them. But these are too similar to the amazing Mety/Lingjihun, and 150 bucks more expensive. Plus, with the limited real estate, I just continue having to admire from afar.

Like most who are doing the mental gymnastics to justify these I've already committed to just the 4 boys. This is one of those rare cases where Mety and Mondo will both be picking my pockets and I'm justifying it with a faint "...well McFarlane will be over soon, and I'm done with Mondo Ghostbusters so..."

I think Donnie came out to about $320 all told, so at least after Leo's paid off I'll be halfway done as well.

I don't like the screaming head. The shape is a bit strange to me. It reads like an Image portrait. Aside from that though I think he looks awesome. Like Rick, if it were 1:12 I'd probably be into it, but at 1:6 the price in both shelf space and actual dollars is too rich for me.
 
Love him! Not sure I'll use many of the alternate heads but absolutely love the overall look.

Love seeing the pics of him with Donnie. These guys are going to look so good together.
