Splinter's staff
 

Does anyone know if there's a replica for sale somewhere? I'd love to have one.

Can't say I've ever come across one. I don't imagine it would be terribly hard to make, with the right materials.

Nope, haven't seen anything like that around. I'm sure, as Powder said, you could make one though.

It has a glass-like look and I'm not sure how to properly mimic that.

You could always use a glass bottle that's green for the look. Maybe search around and see if someone's made one or if they have a tutorial of how to make something like that.

That would be pretty cool.

Side note, I always figured it might be jade. So... just need to be rich enough to buy a large slab and carve one? :)

Bet there are artists that deal with plastics (or glass) though that might be able to come up with something like it.


Edit: Though... (if we really are talking life size), it might not be hard to find a wooden cane with some kind of shape (slightly twisted?) that's suitable, paint or stain it green, give it a a shiny clear top coat (epoxy? is that the word I'm looking for?), and modify the handle as need be.

You could shape a wire or find a narrow cane for a base, sculpt around it, & cast it in translucent resin, maybe. Though I'm not sure about the durability of a thing like that. A shelf piece is one thing, but using it as a functioning cane would be risky.

I think it all depends on what you're using it for. Is it a model for a TMNT shrine or is it intended for cosplay?

Either way just take a walk around your local art and hardware shops. Something may spring out at you.

A part of me always suspected that the staff were made of the original mutagen that changed them all, only obviously solidified and cured. But then the opening shot of Splinter in the credits seemingly laying the turtles deliberately into the mutagen made me suspect there were more sinister plans for Splinter from day one.

Who knows man.
