TMNT Leonardo 2k12 Nick Custom Figure

[Bauer536]

All right! My very first custom! It’s not really a custom, but it’s more like an enhancement.

Now, I've recently seen the figures for the new series premiering this year on Nickelodeon. They look awesome, but I'm not going to spend my money on the big shell storage turtles. They look cool, but the action figures will be worth the purchase. So then I thought, "Wait. What if I customized my big 2k3 Leo figure into the one we'll be seeing soon? This could save me some cash."

So I did it. Don't get me wrong. The 2k3 Leo is cool, but it was time to spice things up. If I can't accept that it looks like the Michael Sinterniklaas one, I knew it would be a good idea to make a change. I decided to go "Jason Biggs" for this one.

It's the same figure, except I wrapped Leo's palms, wrists, ankles, and feet. How I got the tissues to hold onto his body was not that difficult. I used scotch tape to hold some of it down. It worked, but it may be losing its stick right about now. No problem. I'll just get more. The tissues are kind of ripped out a little, so don't be surprised if you see little pieces sticking out. This is not a perfect custom, but one I felt would be great to share.

Now his eyes. I looked, and then it came to me. I like my turtles with pupils. So what I did the next day was cut tiny circles from blue paper, drew black dots in the center of the paper with a pen, and glued them onto his white eyes. Unbelievable, isn't it. When you look at the photo, it's funny. It does look like I painted them, but I went in another direction.

So what do you guys think? I love how it turned out.
