Classic Toy/Toon NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

RayH · 05-21-2010, 02:34 AM

I did not take WIP pictures, but body wise they are the black and white neca turtles, but i resculpted there biceps and chest bigger. I felt it'd be more in proportion with the big feet, plus the toon/toy turtles were a bit buffer looking than the comic style sculpt arms and chest. I also redid the belt buckles

I tried best i could to match the toy colors but its a bit off, the chest shell color was a bitch to match, some of it's not 100% but limited by the amount of spray paint colors tamiya has. Paint wise these are tamiya spray paints bases with liquitex acrylic build up and nu pastel shading.

I also made a set of special accessories based on the cartoon gear. they were sculpted as well. I made the Turtle Comm i wasn't able to do the anntenna kept falling off. I also made Mikes, shell grappling hook thing he uses. Leo I made the weapons rack that the toys come packed with. For raph, I made Pizza one peperoni and one anchovie. I also made the boxes look like the Pizza boxes from the Turtles in time video game. The heart box refills your life and bomb box gives you the pizza power super attack thats what those are homages too...

That's Impressive I like the colors and I definatly love your created accessories , The Weapons Store is nice and The Turtle Comm/ grappling is awesome

Leo and Don should have shoulder straps like the 88 toys, but besides that I like it.

I thought these were just going to be Repaints! But they are way better!

These might be some of the coolest NECA customs I've seen. I love how they look exactly like the box art from the old toys. Great job!

Okay, so those are really awesome. I'd buy them for sure. The cartoon specific accessories were a nice touch too. Great job.

Thats how I feel lol. I've seen so many repaints that I almost let out a groan when I saw the thread title but these are so boss.

Awesome work! I'm not sure I like the resculpted biceps -- they just kinda look like balloons on the arms, as opposed to the clearly muscley (and veiny) biceps on the original figures -- but everything else about these is boss. If NECA had released these, I'd have bought a set for sure!
