Hate to be that guy, but several people have beaten you to it buddy :)
Awsome statue though. Something i will never be able to afford :(

That's okay. Thanks for posting anyway. I emailed Sideshow about if they'll be selling these but so far, no response.

Imagine if Hot Toys sells something like this..

I'd get it. In a blink.

I threw money at the screen but it didn't work.

I wish I liked the new designs more. Would be kind of cool to have them next to the Sideshow polystone statues I have of the traditional look.

Can't spend another near $1,000 on statues anyway, though. ;)

I actually don't buy the statues, but this, I'm highly considering... $1000 or less... yeah, I might take the plunge.

It's a pretty nice statue. Hopefully anyone who buys it actually likes the movie. If it bombs and falls into obscurity (Unlikely) that would be like owning a Next Mutation character statue.

Doesn't matter if I don't like the movie, it's Raph... my favorite character. I don't mind owning things even if I don't like the movie. I despised Dragonball Evolution but I have the Enterbay Goku and it's amazing. This would be the same in that regard.

But being a Graphic Designer this thing really intrigues me and the level of detail is fantastic. I would love owing pieces that are like this... I just don't have money to drop on all the ones made... especially the Transformers ones. Those have had me on the cusp of buying them so many times, but I just couldn't do it. With this being Raph though... it's going to plague me to death on whether to pull the trigger or not.

I should think the $1400 price tag will make it easier for you to decide.

Is that actually the price, or is that just based on other products?

Still doesn't matter, yeah I can drop that without any problem, but it does make the choice a little easier.

At first I though Shredder was in the background. But I noticed the Decepticon logo.

Yeah... judging by the head, it looks like Starscream.

yeahh
 

It's pretty sad that the transformers character in the background can be easily mistaken for the shredder from this movie. :tsad:

Likewise thought it was Shredder until I looked directly at it.

They need to add the brand on Raph's shoulder. ;) Nice piece, would like to see the others.

I wish we'd have quality item like this for other designs.

OT but does anyone know what the thing on Raph's stap is?

I went to Sideshow's chat to see if they would be carrying these but they said they have no information when or if these will be available on their site but to keep an eye on the weekly newsletter. Man, I want one of these so bad. If it helps to pay for it, I'll even sell one of my kidneys.:lol:

Same here...I was like, "Hmmm...he looks a little different, ahhh yes....it's a Transformer"

Does anybody know what that silver cylinder is that is attached to the front of his should strap???

Looks like a flash grenade lol

Not really it's a large rounded metal robot head and Shredder has a metal helmet.

Any news on this being a legit statue that anyone can buy? Also, I wonder if they will release the other Turtles. I love Raph, don't get me wrong, but I'm a Donnie girl and…yeah. I'd want Donnie for my shelf.

How big is this statue?

They've mentioned interlocking bases for all the turtles and them being together as a team is important, so I'd say the other 3 bro's are a pretty safe bet.

Not sure of actual dimensions but it's 1/4 scale.

I hope they'll release details soon. I want Mikey and Leo.

Imagine if there's a Megan Fox statue too. :tlove:

Uh, I'd rather not, thank you!:)

I'd love it if they did a Raph statue like that, in the 2012 version, or maybe the 2007 version.

$1400? Really? Man, intricate sculpting or no, I can't believe people can go for that once, let alone for four of 'em. That's a car, man. :o Like, one of 'em is the same as a beater that's just to get you to work, but all four of 'em? That's the price of a decent used car, man. For statues.

I've dropped $150 on some really awesome porcelain statues that I don't exactly regret but occasionally wonder what better use I could have put it towards. I can't even imagine spending ten times that much on a piece of merch. :ohwell:

If you got it, spend it, I guess.

I wasn't sure where else to post this but my wife recently made this and is selling it on her Etsy shop:

It's a Leonardo car charm. You can find it listed here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1980887..._home_active_1

plenty of people have mistaken it for shredder

That's pretty cool...if it were Raph, of course I'd be in

Well, can you blame them? It's metallic looking, with razors all over it, and it's right next to Raphael.

Thanks! I think she should do all of them.

I don't know for sure but ever since I saw that the Playmates toys had that little sculpt on the front of his strap, I've thought that it could possibly be Raph's turtlecom. And since that time, we know that Donnie has something like one, so my hope is still high for that.

Nice, I'd buy it :D

Some more pictures of the statue if you haven't seen it...
