The thing is for less then 250 bucks I can get a statue of one of the turtles and I know what to expect. Granted it might be expensive to make we're in a recession right now. If you think people are willing to dump that much on a product they've yet to see even a prototype of you're in for disappointment. You'd also probably have gotten further on here making it TCRI, as more of us are into the comics then the movies.

It's a great idea. I'm sure when you're finished they will look awesome but we're all on tight budgets right now and I'm personally saving my extra cash for the officially licensed statue releases.

Nobody is trying to force anyone else to buy his product. Granted, we haven't seen the actual product yet, but he's been taking us through the process and I don't think anyone that gets one is going to be disappointed.

One thing I have a hard time with is people who don't read thru the whole thread, or even the first post!

I traced TGRI letters from multiple screen shots of the film to get the “font” just right, and the size/spacing perfect.
Also, I've had a few requests for Comic style TCRI decals on their canisters, so that’s an available option if you prefer the comic version of the company name.

Consider this a dead thread.
No one here signed up, so posting this on The Technodrome Forums has just been a waste of my time.
I have only been updating it for the few that have had positive input and who I know would be interested in seeing how it turns out.

I decided to do this for the benefit of fellow Turtles Fans, not to make a huge profit.

Not dead yet. If you're still here, you have realize that that's just how it goes sometimes. You win some, you lose some...but most of the time you just lose. That's been my experience on these forums for the most part, but I'm not going to leave because that has been my experience.

I can't wait to get mine. Real or replica, still would look awesome at my house. You can even fill it up with anything you want. at the very least, you would be getting a really fancy canister for your pringles. its a win win!!

Ha, that actually sounds pretty sweet. I can just imagine serving guests pringles out of one of these.

I for one can't see myself spending that kind of money, but I would love to see the final product. If I had money to spare, I'd be more interested

Thanks d_osborn!

Here are the PICS



Im really happy with the color, it changes in different light, just like the original (compare whats seen on screen Vs the photos of the screen used canisters)

Pretty impressive. Good jod there! I'd prefer it to say TCRI, but still, it's very nice.

Just found this thread

Looks awesome dude! I'm with the majority of positive people here. If I had the cash I'd pick one up for sure, but thats just not the case unfortunately

Still, looks fantastic dude. Thanks for sharing! Wish you the best!

BIG thanks to cklinejr and everyone who helped this to be as amazing as it is!












If you missed out on the 1st run, commit for the possible second. Do it. This is a great replica from a great guy! You won't regret it!

Hmmm. I'm hungry for pizza...
