Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
I like doughy pizza the most… but sometimes I do get the urge to have some crispy pizza too! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at threezero’s…
Michelangelo & Leonardo!
From the 2014 ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ movie comes a fully articulated series of figures! The first and second in the series are Leonardo and Michelangelo, both scheduled to release simultaneously. The figures have been very intricately sculpted and painted, creating a very faithful appearance that captures things such as the texture of their skin and shells and even shows some of the damage they have taken in their many battles.
Their facial expressions and equipment have also been carefully made to look exactly as they did in the films. The figures feature over 25 points of articulation and the neck and elbow joints make use of flexible PVC for easy, natural looking poses that still look great. Three sets of hand parts are included. |
Cowabunga!! ヽ(゚◇゚ )ノ
The turtles have been transformed into fully articulated figures with threezero’s unique realistic look shining beautifully!! Due to their popularity, both Michelangelo & Leonardo are going up for a second batch of orders! Just look how alive they look!
The skin is sculpted and painted in such a way that it really looks like it should be wet and glistening! The skin makes use of a soft PVC which has really worked wonders! I can’t help but want to touch their reptilian skin! (/ω\)
Let’s take a closer look at them one-by-one! (`・ω・´)ゞ
Michelangelo
Michelangelo is the party dude and troublemaker of the team, with his orange mask and nunchaku as his trademark weapon. The figure stands approximately 300mm in height. His nunchaku are of course included as well as his sunglasses and skateboard to recreate all sorts of scenes from the film. |
Mikey!!! (。・ω・)ノ゙
The pizza-loving carefree Mikey looking just as playful as ever!
The jersey tied around his hips is made from real fabric which just adds even more realism to the figure!
His nunchaku and sunglasses are included! ☆
Special hand parts that allow the nunchaku to be held are included, but you can also display them pocketed away like in the photo above! The wrapping around his hands is also made from actual fabric!
This is how he looks from the back! ♪
That hard shell makes him look ready for anything! (´∀`)
By the way, the thing wrapped around his left leg is… duct tape!
Duct Tape fixes anything!!
Now let’s take a closer look at his face and expression! Σ(・ω・ノ)ノ!
I love the way his mouth is open on the one side!!
That grin makes me think he must be thinking about pizza!!
By the way, the mask on his face is made from standard materials, white the back part makes use of fabric! Plus he also comes with his personalized skateboard from the film! (・∀・)
He is also fully articulated! Be sure to check the product page for more photos of various different poses! ★
* This particular Michelangelo is a sculpt prototype that was not fitted with the final joints. The final product is fully articulated!
Leonardo
Leonardo is the leader of the team, with his blue mask and dual-wielded swords as his trademark weapon. His calm and collected appearance has been well preserved in the figure which stands approximately 326mm in height. His swords are of course included to recreate all sorts of scenes from the film. |
I’ll be glad to follow a leader like Leo!
His dual blades and their scabbards look great!
The pattern on the back of his shell is also rather different to Mikey’s! Look at the scratches and damage all along various parts of the shell!
Leo’s expression is very fitted for a leader! Just look at this calm, composed and confident face!
Just like Michelangelo, Leonardo also features outfit parts made from real fabric! The end part of his mask and cloth wrapped around his wrists and legs are all soft to the touch! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)
The designs of the shoes are also completely different between the characters! It’s quite interesting to compare them!
By the way, this should give you an idea of the size… ♪
The figures are 1/6th scale, standing approximately 300mm in height! They’re a lot bigger than you might expect!! Those hands are of a grown adult male! (I keep comparing them to my hands which are considerable smaller… (・ω<;))
Leonardo also comes with his two swords, but unfortunately they were not available for my review!
(The swords will be removable from the scabbards on his back!)
Once again, be sure to take a look at the product page for more action poses!! ★
