Mezco 1:12 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Oh that is so sexy... my best friend is in love with Shredder and I know she'll find that scar cute. Splendid rendition. I wonder if they'd ever do an April and Karai? The Mirage inspirations these have is exactly what I want for my collection, so those two getting releases would be a dream come true. Only reason I never picked up the Turtles set is because they lean too much into first appearance styling for my tastes.

Very happy that Shredder comes with the grenades he uses to kill himself in issue 1. Seeing that and a cartoon communicator side by side is funny, I like all the included options a lot. Didn't expect a full on mirage style shadowy face head. Mezco's killing it!

My only issue is with it being on the Casey Jones body type. I like my Shredder to be a little bigger, more bulky. I think his physical presence is what should make him more intimidating.

I agree, I'd like him to be just a tad bulkier, but with them skewing towards an early Mirage mixed a bit with IDW, the leaner build makes perfect sense. And it matches how they stylized all the Turtles, with them hardcore being early Mirage and all.

Casey's kinda the odd one out so far, with him being more so inspired by the later proper arcs of the Mirage run. I can't complain though, that's my ideal Casey.
