TMNT CLASSICS!

[VGMStudios]

Are they all sold out on amazon? They're like 80 bucks including shipping there?

Dunno man, don't buy from Amazon. I got them off of cmdstore. Price was decent.

I'm not a huge TMNT fan but I did enjoy the 80's cartoon (and Konami arcade game) and these Classic figures look great.
Got Leo. Paint seems fine on mine, no derpy eyes. Looks like an awesome figure. His three brothers will join him eventually.

Man, if you told me I would be able to have a Ninja turtle figure pull off a pose like this:


Witout having to have one custom made 2 years ago, I would have laughed in your face so hard, you'd be wiping my spit off of it.

But look, now we have it! Yay for awesome1

Although I suspect REAL turtles wouldn't have turn-able rib cage like that, but hey, I don't care!

I suppose the Handles of the Sai are too thick to go between Raphael's fingers?

I mean woot! posable turtles, but Posable Turtles who can hold their weapons accurately?

You know TB, you got me thinking that I know nothing about Sai and their usage, so after a half hour google and read up, I feel I can say this.

Sai seem to need 4 fingers and a thumb for correct handling, so Raph is immediately disadvantaged. However, not being one to let The Man get to my fave TMNT, I came up with this.



So it would seem that yes, he can hold them accurately. To a certain extent anyway...

[VGMStudios]

What about the middle fork. Can that be held through the middle as well?

Very cool! that's how I wantmy Raphael to hold his Sai whe he gets here. From my "research" (Googling, actually living with people who practiced Martial arts and own sai) They're a defensive weapon and never actually used for stabbing.

Not that the TMNT use their bladed weapons for stabbing outside of the Mirage comics, anyhow.

Like this? (Left Hand.)

Although that defeats the purpose of some of the defensive capabilities of the sai.

Yes, I am a total sai master now

Got mah turtles, my Donny got hit real hard with the derp stick!

EDIT: Wow Donny can't catch a break, the top of his head was glued on askew! making him even more derp!

[VGMStudios]

Perfect. Thanks Tetsuwan Convoy. I remember him doing that all the time in the old comics and cartoon.
My order has been speed I hope Donny isn't hit by the derp stick to hard a he is my favorite turtle.
