Impressed, sorta, since I don't think many of those statues were even made. Maybe they're a permanent fixture in your theater... enjoy. lol

Geez. No one would ever say how big these things were when photos turned up online back before the film premiered. I thought they surely looked oversized compared to the film.

I guess no one told the sculptures their heights and they just went with the feeling of them being 8' in the first film... But now it leaves me wondering about the height of the Donnie statue in comparison. It should technically be gigantic, vertically speaking.

To give you a better sense of scale, his head was about the size of a basketball, and every part was oversized. Shell was easily 4.5 feet wide. The swords were normal sized katana, but looked like plaster. Raph on the otherhand looked to be of a different scale like he was 10% reduced on a photocopier.

If Leo had nbeen 25% smaller, he'd have had human proportions. 1/2 scale he would be the proper height.

Hey, Commenter. I've been kinda out of touch here for a bit, and this is totally off-topic, but... that signature photo with the Mirage-style NECA Shredder figure is something else and I need to know where it came from.

...oh my god. What? What!?

I was so sure the arcade figures were the most we'd see of those sculpts. Oh my god. It's actually happening!?

I have literally no money, but there's no way I'm missing out on these.

...WHOA.

Joy, excitement, and frenetic anticipation instead of juvenile insensible bitching?

Are you SURE about that, 42?

No wonder his swords looked a tad small.




To make any Turtle statue that is too big to give a quick hug to should be a crime, dammit.

Lol, I guess you could hug him...but he looked hard and uncomfortable... If you're anywhere near NYCC this year, I have a feeling they'll be making an appearance there next.

lol Well, squishy statues would be a bit strange and might not hold up well.


Speaking of statues, just gonna throw this in here rather than bump such an old thread. Still curious what ever became of these:

http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/sho...hlight=statues

Surprised no sightings of them in the wild ever turned up.
