2012 Classic TMNT painted "1988" style!
Took the 4 Classic Collection 2012 TMNT figures and accessories and completely re-painted them (except the plastron) to resemble the color scheme of the original Playmates toyline "1988". These large highly articulated figures were very challenging to paint compared to the smaller 5" figures I usually customize. Let me know what you think!
Inspired by the original TMNT Playmates Toys! "1988" Before&After:

I think it's a big improvement in style!

Wow, these look ridiculously good. Soooooo much better than the standard versions. I sold my goofy ass set off to pay for the SH Figuarts, but if they re-released these in this color scheme, hot damn, I'd sell blood to cover the costs. Super badass. They seem awkward & generic on their own, but with your new paint job, presenting them as updated versions of the original toys, woooo! Beauties. I appreciate them a lot more in this light (even if they are still flawed in some ways).

HOOOOLY **** these are awesome. Kudos on the paint application. I would imagine these were harder than they look, with all the parts and smooth surface. Really looks great. I have played with the idea myself, but the brown colorscheme on the weapons really take them to the next level. Had not thought of that myself, so if I ever go there, you have definately inspired the hell out of me. Excellent!

I'm quite pleased myself with how this set turned out. These figures have crazy articulation and I've seen online photos of them in some amazing poses. When I get a chance I wanna take some more photos of them in different poses and post them here. Only downside of posing highly articulated custom painted figures is the risk of paint chipping, so I'll likely have to do some touch-ups after.

Love the repaints and although the weapons are the OG style, I prefer the newer type of weapon finish.
Thumbs up overall! |

Thanks you guys for the kind words! Those asking how it was done, I used acrylic model paint and paint brushes .

This was how they should have been released in the first place with all the extra brown weapons as well

If you asked me to list what's wrong with the Classics figures, it'd be quite a while before I'd get to the suggestion that their colors should more closely match the vintage figures, but man, this brings them to life! So well done!
