somone on the Fwoosh got his figures loose, rechecking the description listing they did state that the figures would be loose out of the box.

So just be careful and read the whole description when buying on eBay.

I caved and found a seller that sold individual figures for a fairly decent price, sadly Shredder was sold out, but I snagged a Purple Foot (came with hands, knife and mallet). He's pretty tall since he's a NECA figure and they deal in 7 inch scale figures.



Pretty cool figure, but no ab-crunch. A bit weird since the Mirage Turtles had ab-crunch articulation. The ankle is a ball-joint so the up and down movement is limited, but the ankle pivot is nice.

My main deal is to see if I can remove the pixel paint without too much hassle, and just do a simple repaint on the places I need to re-apply color. Might have to do some color matching since some of the plastic is molded in the lighter purple and some in the darker.

Nice! Let us know how it turns out!

A little up-date. I'm currently soaking the Foot Soldier in Winson & Newton brush cleaner, my girlfriend uses it for wiping her BJDs clean when she want to repaint them, so it should be plastic friendly.

We had little left so I can only submerge half of the figure at a time, his backside is mostly scrubbed clean off, and a few things really surprised me.

The boots are not molded in black plastic, the shins are red and the feet are skin colored. His torso is purple, I thought it was black since it was black inside his armpits. Head is molded in the darker purple like the legs only painted light purple over. One arm guard is originally black and the other is skin colored.

And I did a goof, and forgot to take off the gripping hands when I was soaking him, so now my gripping hands are wiped. A bummer, but it's easy to repaint the hand guards.

Seeing it wiped like that... I need to get a few of these to paint and match NECAs mirage turtles. It looks like almost the same sculpt as the prototype from a few years back. It'll be a little annoying painting the arms skin tone since they're cast in black plastic and there are lots of joints but this is too good to pass up.

[Candy Kappa]

It looks like the it's the same sculpt sans the new arm guards and the hands have new sculpting to have the hand guard as well as the wrap.

My repaint is going to be far more simpler, since this is my first wipe-down and repainting the figure. So I was kinda stupid of soaking the feet, I really should have just painted over the pixel pain instead of trying to wipe it since it took all the black pain away.

Yeah I'm pretty thrilled to find this out. I haven't had
Time to study the sculpt enough for comparison but it's obvious after you did the wash. Are the armgards sculpted on or possibly removable? With a dremel and a little epoxy it would be an easy fix anyway.

Now I'm curious what a washed shredder looks like

[Candy Kappa]

They are glued on, but I haven't taken them off, so I don't know of the forearms are new sculpts.

Those toon repaints are nice to see, but I still think the Figuarts sculpts are superior and more accurate to the cartoon. Well apart from the stylized lettering on the buckles. Don't get me wrong, the NECA ones are far from bad, but even repainted the proportions and style don't look quite right compared to the cartoon in my opinion.

[Candy Kappa]

I think the NECA Arcade sculpts and the Figuarts both have their ups and downs.

Personally I feel that the Figuarts are more closer to the Retro Art stuff then Screen Accuracy, having the overtly smiling faces, rim around the plastron and the belt buckle have a outer rim as well. While the NECA Turtles lack the rim, have the simple buckle like the cartoon and have a bit more of a early season look in their face sculpt. But Figuarts have the better looking weapons, like Arcade Raph's sai looks ridiculous.

Overall I prefer Figuarts, though. Lots of articulation and extra accessories (Although NECA's spinning chuck piece was very inventive and supperior to Revoltech) and I prefer their body proportions over NECA's, the Aracde Turtles feel a bit lanky for some reason.

Very good to know. Thanks CK for sharing all this. It's immensely helpful.

[Candy Kappa]

And the sucker is done. The eyes needs a re-do, but beyond that I'm fairly satisfied.



And now I want a full set... I'll know to not wipe the lower legs, just paint over the pixels

Mine's gonna have some rubbing at the ankles, I guess it's unavoidable.

Has anyone tried paint stripping a Shredder yet? I'm kind of tempted to buy one of the Foot sets off alliexpress and a set of the Neca Bootleg Mirage Turtles and see what I can do to make a full set. I only ever got the Raph figure when they came out and later bought April off eBay. I want to make a solid display since right now I have the Playmates Comic Turtles displayed and they just don't cut it.

I don't know if the guy stripped the paint but he did repaint the shredder in the mirage colors over on figure realm. It's the exact same sculpt as the unreleased mirage shredder you just need to pop the head and remove the cape.

Are the shredder/ foot sets available on aliexpress? Realistically if I can get shredder and 4 foot I'll be happy. Just don't know where the best place to snag them other than eBay

Yup for $102!

[EddieNES]

Anyone else find it harder to find things on the Aliexpress app compared to just browsing their webpage.

I find this extremely frustrating.

I can't come across a single arcade figure on the app using any form of search words.

I have a set of each sitting in my cart waiting to be paid for. They're $100.17 each, but I'm too nervous to actually pull the trigger. I have about two days before my order gets automatically canceled. If they are going to be knockoffs I would at least like to know about it beforehand. The seller is Motan Cartoon Shop.
