I have him standing on my computer desk until I figure out where to put him. He's doing the Fonzie thumbs right now... I think I'm in love with this figure.

Well, Heap, you're not a sophisticated fella like me, so I hesitate to answer your question, lest I risk confusing you with my complex jargon and whatnot.
It's dollar store fart putty. That's right, friend. Fart. Putty. Like any other slime toy, only it makes fart noises when you squeeze it. U-S-A! U-S-A! |

Thanks for answering
I have some dollar store slime myself. I asked cause yours looked thicker. I would like that better.

It's been too cold and icy around here to take Donatello out to the alley for another proper shoot, so I've been playing around with more silly props and accessories for him. (I abandoned my ambitious plans for a giant custom sewer for my Playmates Turtles, and now I'm tempted to create one for this figure that dwarfs all the Playmates figures. I'm a genius).
Today's devastating triumph of creativity and the human spirit: I bought this Lone Ranger lunchbox ornament a couple years ago for some gag portraits of NECA's quarter-scale Lone Ranger figure: It's just been sitting here ever since, and so I grabbed it recently and placed it on a shelf next to that kitbashed Turtle Comm I recently shared, figuring Donatello might keep an old lunchbox around; why not? Then I decided to put some goodies in it. The brown paper that's all beat to hell is gnomish text from the Artemis Fowl novel. I printed it out and aged it and gave it to NECA's Epic Scale (quarter-scale) Gandalf to use as a scroll: Here's a better look at the cassette. Or "tape", as it would have been called back in the day. The cover is the business card of a Boise artist, toy creator and tattoo artist named Jay O'Leary. The tape itself is actually a microcassette on which I recorded my interview with Warren Ellis during his October Revolution Tour in 2000. I'm not going to lie; I think I've changed some lives today, and we've all learned a lot about ourselves. |

I was mostly kidding about making a sewer for NECA's quarter-scale Donatello. But now I honestly think I'm going to do it.
Here's a quick photo I slapped together a week or so ago, just to give a sense of what I have in mind: Today, I bought some props and things. We'll see what happens. In the meantime, I'm kitbashing a movie-aesthetic Cheapskate for Donatello. Here's the original vintage Cheapskate, followed by some tentative first steps: ...and today I hit the jackpot! I was thinking of buying a mini-fan and trying to find some sort of small engine, when what should I find at the thrift shop for two bucks? An engine and fan in one! I am far more excited about this silliness than I should be. |

For those who preordered from Big Bad Toy Store, how soon did your Donatello arrive last year?
