Splinter's MOVIE Origins...(Lego.com)

[graphic_content]

Okay...so from the page of the script found in the TMNT: The Ultimate Visual History - we all know that this latest iteration of Splinter began as a lab rat.

As I was on LEGO.COM, TMNT section of course, I noticed that everything was very much geared towards the NICK show, only showing the movie sets as a product of the existing product line, rather than its own thing entirely.

Strangely enough, the character descriptions they gave largely fit their NICK counterparts, except for one: SPLINTER.

His description read as follows:

Originally an experimental lab rat exposed to ninja sensory training, Splinter was injected with a DNA-infused mutagen that gave him sentience, thoughts and a soul. After an unfortunate event at the lab, Splinter and four unlikely box turtles suddenly found themselves building their new home in the sewers.

- experimental lab rat
- ninja sensory training
- infused with mutagen that gave him sentience...and a soul?

...Obviously, for those of us who have seen the NICK show, we know this ISNT Splinter's origin, but perhaps somebody goofed, and posted his MOVIE origins.

***ON A SIDE NOTE: I checked everyone else's origins (Shredder, Karai, etc.) and they all seem in line with the NICK show storyline.
