Splinter figure

Am I the only one that notices that the Splinter fig doesn't have the sleeves like he does in the cartoon?

I have no clue why that is. I'm just guessing that the no sleeve thing is easier to put the shirt on? I don't know. Ignore me.

Well, they didn't have sleeves on the old Splinter figure either--and at least they've made an improvement on the robe itself, and got rid of the ragged-looking trim on the bottom. Also, the new Splinter seems to have the same accessories he used to have--albeit in multiple incarnations: He has the ninja bow, the sword cane (though they, like the other new weapons have gotten the nifty repaint treatment) from the original, and the ooze, and the quiver of arrows (also repainted) from the movie Splinter. Anyway, I got it as a gift from my girlfriend, and I like it a lot better than the old one. But I do kinda wish it had sleeves, too.

JAh, that reminds me of the old action figure line when they had Shredder with the cape and no shirt on, and I was like, what nonsense is this!?!?!? He didn't look like that in ANY of his incarnations, comics or cartoon. WTF???

And also, why are Michaelangelo's nunchuckas put on his back, when in the cartoon they go on the sides like Raph? Oh well.

i agree that the lack of sleeves on the cloth robe made the figure look bad. they could have made a robe similar to the movie star splinter robe, that one was cloth and had sleeves and actually looked good. but the first 2 splinters cloth robes looked more like a dress.

Seriously man, what the f*ck is up with you bumping all these old threads? It's bad enough with year-old threads, but this is more than a decade old! It's not like you're even adding anything to the discussion, all you're doing is pushing more relevant discussions further down the page (and yes, I'm aware of the irony of me replying).

Knock it the f*ck off.

his thread-necromancy must be out of ignorance of not reading the OP's date/time-stamp, or just driving up his post count.

Of course I do, dicknose.

And I already pointed out the hypocrisy of my reply, there was no need for you to reiterate the point, albeit in a barely-literate fashion.

i didnt know a "god" can curse so much. and i have noticed u seem to have a thing for lashing out and belittling other members on the forum.

your logic is flawed and you fail at life.

I'm just against stupidity in all its forms. And I wouldn't say I'm lashing out, I'm just blunt with what I say. If you don't like it, you can always put me on your ignore list.

By the way, if you're defining how well one succeeds at life based upon said individual's conduct in an internet forum, well, you might want to take a long look at your own life there...

You were necro-posting a 11 year old thread.

If you try that on any other forum, you would be banned straight away.

-11 year old post brought back to the front of the line

-10 posts in a row completely off the thread topic afterward

-no action taken, no warnings given, no irrelevant posts deleted to set an example
