TMNT Models...

Ok...

I may be in the minority here, but I would like to express my feelings here if I could.

Why hasnt anyone made any TMNT models? One of my hobbies is plastic modelling, and in my wanderings of the internet, I have seen model kits of many pop culture icons including Spiderman, Batman, Indiana Jones and others. But I have yet to see any TMNT offerings. There are a lot of Japanese garage companies that make resin statues of anime characters...why cant the same be done for the gang in green.

Eh..I guess I just felt like ranting a little. But it would be nice to get a few figures that I could build and paint and impart my own little style to.

Anyone else share my thoughts?

For what it's worth, there are TMNT model kits that were made in Japan. But they weren't diorama type kits like we occassionally see here in the US. They were snap together kits that created a four or five inch action figure when completed, similar to the Gundam model kits. I have one that I found on Ebay years ago.

The only model I know of, which isnt exactly what your looking for, is the model kit for the Monster Jam truck of Raphael (take a look at tmntman's sig for how it looks)..thats available in stores now, as I have one...
