Movie Splinter Bust

Pretty cool bust of Splinter from the first movie up on ebay. Great likeness from the front but profile looks a little off what do you guys think?

A few people have mentioned this already, I believe in the 'eBay almighty' thread. I think it looks great... too rich for my blood though.

Suddenly, that Sherdder helmet sold not long ago for $250 seems like a fair price. Those materials used must be fairly expensive if it isn't the original. There is also a Raphael bust for around $150 on eBay currently. Still, since these have bids, could be a great opportunity for costume businesses looking to make some money for TMNT's relaunch, and if I was Mark Freedman would tell costume companies to sell more of these.

EDIT: That Raphael bust sold for $500.

While I can't say it's not well done I personally don't like it.

Kinda looks like a mash up of Splinter 2 and Splinter 3.

I agree leaning more towards the 1st thankfully but his snout doesn't look long enough. Splinter from movie 3 was atrocious.

It looks like someone enhanced the Movie 2 Splinter figure and gave it a really bad wookie wig to go over it. Also why is one eye look lazy compared to the other?

hehe, I guess they forgot too add the words "Battle Ravaged" to the product title.

Yeah, the snout's definitely too short in the side-view. And the whiskers are way thick, they look like painted spaghetti noodles. Should've used something like fishing line. Other than that, it definitely took talent to build!

Yep thats what I wanted to say, the snout is too short, from the side it kinda looks like Next Mutation Splinter!
