Ugh, I'm really not liking that Splinter.

No offense to whoever did that, but it is the FUNNIEST thing I've seen in quite a while.

it wouldnt be so bad if it looked ANYTHING like the volume 1 splinter that it is trying to be...but it doesn't...not even a little...its just black and white.

That Ace Duck is as awesome as the Splinter is funny. I wish I could afford to drop a bid. These are the same guys that did that sick Slash awhile ago... definitely worth keeping an eye out for more of their projects.

I think both are pretty funny. The Ace would be awesome had they sculpted a new head or something. It looks like his head is just tacked on and too tiny.

Ace Duck would be cool if his head wasn't small compared to his body, and if he was comic accurate. He didn't wear a hat in the comics.

I agree that the Splinter is whack--I can see what they were trying to do, but it just didn't work. Maybe with a different paint job . . . but I don't know if that particular Splinter has enough sculpted detail for that kind of black line work to fly.

Ace Duck is really cool, I agree the head looks strange, in comparison to the more detailed body, but it's still awesome. You hardly ever see Ace Duck customized to begin with, which makes it special in and of itself.

For me, it's the face. He did a great job with everything else. Especially the feet and tail. But his face... he looks like a Mime or a Kabuki player or something.
