TMNT Classic Shredder and April custom figures

[grungethemovie]

I always wanted to do April. Since i was a kid watching the cartoon.
Ok, that said, I also always wanted to make an April custom figure
Those 2, April and Shredder, hold very great emotional importance for me, you see, Shredder and April were my first custom figures when i was like 8 (Shredder was a he-man with a rambo enemy guy that had a cloth thing on his head and April was Cheetarah)
So, since the world was supposed to end, i had to come full circle and make those 2

April was a Legendary Legends..hmm, that doesn't sound, oh, heroes Ann O'Brien, for her size. However, Ann is quite tall and muscular, so i used her height, but i had to re-sculpt her everything to be in scale (interesting how i always "have to" re-sculpt everything XD)
Even things i wasn't planning to (or even shouldn't): most of her joints! (remember kids, never compromise the joints - well, unless you're an adventurous fella that cries every custom thinking that this time, it will be ruined beyond salvation)

Anyway, if you wanna know specifics about the joints, feel free to ask (i don't wanna make this longer that it already is)

I made a cast of the base, wrote her name on it, and made her a camera, her mic and a working turtle communicator (so she can find them when she got her crew - no, not working, working, it opens and closes

so, yeah, i could say i'm satisfied with my Classic turtles - if my love for those wretched reptiles ended there - so i guess you can wait for Splinter, Rocksteady, Bebop and Krang (and what about a sewer den diorama, huh?) if the world doesn't end

I'm adding shredder in this thread too cause you've prob seen him on figure realm, if not, enjoy!

ps: sorry for her second pic, she didn't have her thingie on her belt yet when i was trying desperately - in vain - to take pics to post her in time for the contest (i will take a pic of her finished, can't promise it will be updated here tho
