Definitely more cool collectible than art piece, I still can't help but be floored by the
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures as redesigned by
James Jean and produced by
Good Smile Company. And, now, we're seeing the first couple of the followup villains as well! Eventually set to include the main four formidable foes that the Turtles faced — Shredder, Krang, Bebop & Rocksteady — so far only Shredder and Bebop have been revealed in production prototype form, but you can gain a glimpse of what the others may look like by seeing Jean's original illustration (
posted here).
With each of these pieces slated to be roughly 1/8th scale (a little over 13-inches tall), sculpted by Keiji Iwakura, these finished hand-painted ABS & non-phthalate PVC pieces look superbly executed. Slated to begin being released in April of this year, many shops are already taking preorder reservations on their allotments.
