Which figures have visible screws?

Poona · 07-21-2004, 10:19 AM

I haven't gotten majorly into getting the figures yet (I only have 4 of the basic turtles so far, and haven't got Splinter yet as he doesn't even look like Splinter!), but I hear of how some of the figures have large visible screws on their backs and so on, but I'm not sure which ones have this.

I think Leatherhead does (as well as some large annoying button in his side), but do any others? It's a shame they do, as I think it's turned me off getting them, if it's because of some action feature, I'd rather they hadn't implemented the feature or put it in some other way so the figures wouldn't be wrecked.

Leatherhead, Hun , and Foot Elite, However the Elite's cape covers them up.

I was really disappointed that Leather Head had the screws (would covering them in small bits of plastic been too much?) but I do like the figure reguardless... but mainly because I like Leatherhead.... UT!

Multi Arm Shredder has four screws on his back and a amall action button in between them.

Stone bitter and razorfist do. razorfists armor covers it up. Im botherd that Hun and Leatherhead have screws. Leatherhead could have been given a labcoat to cover it up. I imagine the triceritond might have screws, i could be wrong though.

Oh Hun has screws?

He was probably going to be my next purchase!

I don't see why they couldn't have covered it up somehow. I don't think any of the old figures had large visible screws.

Hun is still a great figure. He towers above the turtles. I say get him!

Coming from the world of Transformers I see no problem with screws, and if you do, don't let it stop you from buying the figures, just fix it your self.

Screw this thread! Just kidding.

The ones that have the screws noticablly are the larger figures. Leatherhead, Hun, Stone Biter, Razor Fist and the figures with "Ninja Action", which truely means to me that they move with a spring. (Also Turtlebot if you count under his shell). But personally it is not a big deal to have like three or four screws in the figures, it's not like they are poking kids eyes out and personally I would like to see my action figures last more than the car ride home due to shoty carpentry.
