Granitor Preview

[Patraw]

This is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Granitor mini action figure that I started making Tuesday. He's a Stone Warrior (General Traag's right hand man). In our youth, not knowing what his real name was, my younger brother and I affectionately dubbed him "Pecker Nose", due to his huge snozz. He has sixteen joints so far [neck (2), shoulders (2), elbows (4), and fingers <8>] and I'm thinking the final count will be twenty-five points of articulation. He should stand around 2.5 inches tall when complete.





For comparison purposes, below are three images of Granitor from different video game systems. The first, on the left, is Granitor as he appears in the TMNT arcade game, the second, in the middle, is Granitor's sprite from the NES port of the same game (with an obvious downgrade in graphic quality--the NES couldn't match the power of the arcade unit), and the last, on the right, is Granitor from the TMNT: Back From The Sewers Game Boy game (many of the bosses have a bit of Japanese "super deformation" going on in said game, which is why his head is so disproportionately large in this example).
