Looking good! But i hope he would get some clothes :o

"Splinter will come with a cloth robe when the toy ships - pictured is just an early prototype sculpt" Yea, I would like to see a clothed version too :P

:lol: That was my first thought too.

I love that conversation,

"Ive never even looked at another guy!"

That was the funniest thing Ive ever heard on anything TMNT...

Oh please let him be good looking....pleasepleaseplease....

*reads thread*

*laughs, cries, who knows what she's really doing....*

why couldnt he be more washboard than washing machine?!

*sob*

at least his arms and legs look muscular....I think. The white eyebrows looks a lil odd tho...

Ummm... 'cause he's old?

But in the archies he's the same age, but he's got the body of Pierce Brosnan, and the looks and charm of Sean Connery!!!

*sobs*

Maybe the drawings of him will be better...

:o Down, girl...

:lol: Yeah, i liked the Archies Splinter better....

Ummm... I've only ever read Archies, so I haven't got much basis for comparison.

The Archies had Splinter tall and handsome *in my opinion* and a lot more active in the series. The others....he's a little furry raisin ready to kick the bucket any second now.

:lol: raisin?

raisin = short old fogey, just dont tell him i said that!

:P

I agree Also, I would hope that they change nother detail abput the figure: the strapped arms and legs, thats seems like Splinter NEEDS those! :lol:

Splinter can be just as good looking as the next mutant!!!! :P

:sweatdro:

*Here I come to rain on everyone's parade*

I have to say that I am not too pleased with this prototype. It looks nothing like I would expect Splinter to look like at all. A little too tubby, too tall and too *ahem* excuse the saying plastic looking.

The turtle models were much better

I think it's easier to pull off reptilian skin w/plastic than it is to create fur...

Theyre trying to make Splinter middle aged! why cant he be normal!?

what, normal-old?

well...umm--Sean Connery old! :goofygri:

Now THAT I can understand. That man is HOT!

that's who I compare Splinter's looks to! that's why i love them so much!

Ah, I see.

Well, now you know! :D

:P :roll:

*The rat lover speaks*

Well, I actually think I like it! The tail is nice and long, though it needs to be flesh-toned. His build isn't too terrible, rats really are kinda tubby, though I do prefer to picture him with a nice washboard tummy. The eyebrows do need to be toned down, but I can always do that myself. The ears should also be a bit more rounded, but I think I'll just have to resign myself to the fact that Splinter has pointed ears for some weird reason.

Augh! He's half-cat!!! :dead:

NO, Half-Dog!!! :lol:

It's a CAT-DOG-RAT!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!

That or he decided that he likes the German Shephard look and clipped his ears.

I also noticed that the poor guy appears to be neutered. He lacks the normally obvious "attributes" of males rats.

*snicker* (trying not to laugh in the library) Poor Splinter. Maybe Saki did that to him before he was mutated?

NO, they just cant have 'anatomically correct' figures!

And as for the clipped ears, I like that lok on him. That's how i draw him anyways...

As for the Sean Connery/Splinter Comparison....

How could you go wrong? :D

Tell that to my mother. My RL little brothers have an anatomically correct little boy doll. I still haven't figured out where in the world she got that thing.

^Ooh! That picture! *drools*

Well, the ears are actually a little more rounded than I thought. I hadn't seen that side view at first. And yeah, the turtles don't have their tails...so I guess Splinter can't have his cajones either.

Mmm...Sean Connery...

geez.. I didn't see that coming!!! he looks a big naked badger!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o I certainly hope they improve Shredder and Splinter... :(

Whoa, check out the toys section at ninjaturtles.com (or my web site)and there are more pictures of the original figures shown! http://geocities.com/newtmnt/

I think he looks pretty awesome. I hope Shredder gets some work done though.
