I agree rose and I can't believe how much they went for it makes me in shock that people would buy these yet they wont plop down money for the actual toy line or statues playmates brought out...nice that'll show playmates what they should be making real fast and good there....

Yeah, I still can't say that appeals to me. What's the deal with making them nothing but muscle?

To me, it looks better than those other customs. I still don't want it but hey, it looks good.

I also like that he sculpted his own head.

I don't think I realized how frickin' huge the 2K3 designs were until I got used to the movie look and then reallyreally liked the movie look. Now it kinda bothers me when watching 2K3.

These are my favorite customs ever, even though it's just new paint and weapons and belts:

Yeah didn't Michael Dooney do the designs for the 2k3 basic character designs? I mean look at his turtles haven't they always been like that?
Mirage, Next Mutation designs, 2k3, & FF
yeah they're nice but they're pretty much just repaints.
I'm also not a fan of the movie heads that and the larger size of the turtles making them as big if not bigger than characters that should be bigger than them bothers a stickler for size acurate figures like me.
That why I passed on the new movie turtles I like my turtles shorter.
You know btw it's so nice to be able to talk about things like adults even if we don't agree on things.

The thing about Dooney though is that he's extremely flexible with his style.

Here's some of the movie figure design art, which while it doesn't have his signature on it I'm pretty sure comes from him. He can do lean Turtles, too.

No, I haven't asked him, but there are certain elements that strike me as Dooney-esque and he has a history of working with Playmates. It's just my hunch, though.

it's nuts it makes me want to start making customs and selling them but I only really like making characters I know we'll never get hence why I made titanus first which btw is almost finally done i've been having some health issues that had to be taken care of.

Oh I know he has he's created allot of awsome things which helps him be one of my favorite mirage artists! I'd just like to know for sure but he's never responded to a single e-mail i've sent him on his site. *shruggs*

Wtf are these?
http://cgi.ebay.com/LOT-OF-11-REMCO-...QQcmdZViewItem
Hockey playing tmnt... do they go to some sort of game? I've heard of remco before, so these aren't bootlegs... at least most likely aren't.
