I love that conversation,

"Ive never even looked at another guy!"

That was the funniest thing Ive ever heard on anything TMNT...

**Machias Banshee** · 09-12-2002, 03:16 PM

Oh please let him be good looking....pleasepleaseplease....

*reads thread*

*laughs, cries, who knows what she's really doing....*

why couldnt he be more washboard than washing machine?!

*sob*

at least his arms and legs look muscular....I think. The white eyebrows looks a lil odd tho...

*Kameko* · 09-12-2002, 03:17 PM

Ummm... 'cause he's old?

**Machias Banshee** · 09-12-2002, 03:19 PM

But in the archies he's the same age, but he's got the body of Pierce Brosnan, and the looks and charm of Sean Connery!!!

*sobs*

Maybe the drawings of him will be better...

*Kameko* · 09-12-2002, 03:20 PM

Down, girl...

**Machias Banshee** · 09-12-2002, 03:21 PM

Yeah, i liked the Archies Splinter better....

*Kameko* · 09-12-2002, 03:23 PM

Ummm... I've only ever read Archies, so I haven't got much basis for comparison.

**Machias Banshee** · 09-12-2002, 03:26 PM

The Archies had Splinter tall and handsome *in my opinion* and a lot more active in the series. The others....he's a little furry raisin ready to kick the bucket any second now.

*Kameko* · 09-12-2002, 03:29 PM

raisin?

**Machias Banshee** · 09-12-2002, 03:33 PM

raisin = short old fogey, just dont tell him i said that!

I agree Also, I would hope that they change nother detail abput the figure: the strapped arms and legs, thats seems like Splinter NEEDS those!

**Machias Banshee** · 09-12-2002, 03:40 PM

Splinter can be just as good looking as the next mutant!!!!

*Here I come to rain on everyone's parade*

I have to say that I am not too pleased with this prototype. It looks nothing like I would expect Splinter to look like at all. A little too tubby, too tall and too *ahem* excuse the saying plastic looking.

The turtle models were much better

*Kameko* · 09-12-2002, 03:44 PM

I think it's easier to pull off reptilian skin w/plastic than it is to create fur...
