Local artist producing TMNT chess boards and pieces

I have put my order in... He is an amazing artist.... And each set (usually black and white) are either the good or the bad guys...

The pawns of the bad guy set were mousers, while the pawns of the good guys were different versions of the ninja turtles. I believe Shredder was the king of the "black" pieces and Splinter was the king of the "white". Casey, Hun, April, Leatherhead, etc also make an appearance. And he made more pieces than necessary... I put in an order today to get one.

Each piece is sculpted by him before they make multiples and he hand paints them. It was by far one of the most impressive TMNT things I have ever seen. It isn't cheap (over $100), but I had to put an order in. He says he expects to sell between 20-40 sets at most. But for small little chess pieces, they are amazingly accurate to the show and detailed far beyond what Playmates gives us.

I'll submit pics when I get my set (it is due in two months) as the artist prefered I didn't take photos of his display. They might appear in the paper though so I will scan it if this chess board shows up... He has about a dozen different chess boards, a bunch of sculptures, etc but this was the only turtle item! Very cool..
