Awhile back I showed you my custom Shredder made from various Cobra Commander and Storm Shadow pieces (Link here for those interested http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...-shredder.html ). Today I managed to get two things I have been looking for for my Turtles: a fourth Dark Ninja and the Anchovy Alley Playset. While the action features are fun for kids, the best draw is that it allows you a nice little diorama for your Turtles and Foot Ninja.
I have been saying this since I first saw them, but these Dark Ninjas...they work as the Foot Clan REALLY nicely. The only mod I would do is to add Jinx's blindfold, but I do not have one let alone four of them so I am content. Thus I gave them various weapons from Storm Shadows and Snake Eyes of the past (mainly the Training Snake Eyes and the Resolute Training Storm Shadow) and put them up with Shredder, Krang (He's Krang, not Kraang. No army building for me), and the Four Green Machines. It looks pretty good all together, plus you have a yellowing Technodrome and an 80's Krang android body looming over the sides. In addition, I am unsure if you can tell but Shredder has a simple mod since the last time he appeared on the Tank: I removed the third claw from his wrist and added it to his arm gauntlet. Makes him look closer to the film and makes him deadlier. UPDATE: Here's a custom Tatsu! Last edited by Drill; 02-24-2013 at 04:44 AM.. |

Cool, man!
I'm looking forward to Retaliation Jinx; a yellow-clad female ninja will be perfect for April O'Neil! |

Looks good, but the scale is off. The Turtles look like giants mixed with the 4 inch figures.

Thanks all. And good idea for April. I already have the movie Scarlett head waiting to be utilized. I'm gonna have to get another one to paint black for Karai as well.
Zarana, yeah I know the scale is off but for a nice dio it doesn't seem as distracting. The only one who looks close enough is Mikey (and even he is too tall, but equal in height to the Shredder at least), but you know what? They are Mutants! Who says they haven't grown a bit? I'm honestly surprised it doesn't bother me for them that much, especially since I am a big scale guy. To me, I was more interested in Krang than the Turtles (since he can be argued that he is in some form of scale...robot body and all), but then Playmates went ahead and articulated the damn things! How could I resist? Yet notice how Spinter is not there. He did not win me over. Oh well. Maybe one day I'll get him and stick him in the corner. Keeping with changing things up, I added another figure to the display: Tatsu! I've left the DG Repaint of Storm Shadow at TJ Maxx for awhile but I was having a stressful day and bought it for the hell of it. I took a Serpentor head, gave him a stache, and painted him black. He's not accurate to the movie, but I liked the orange as a nod to the Hyperstone Heist game, where he has orange on him. Plus I found a use for Louis Tully's pizza slice! |

I dig that Tatsu!

Maybe Metalhead too. Same here. I use my CGI movie Splinter with the Nick Turtles. It's a nice match. |

This is great! I was thinking the Marvel Universe Hand Ninjas would be good Foot, but these work really well too. plus the articulation is better with these ninjas. I checked out the other post for your Shredder and I like the story. I did a story on flickr where there is a connection between Shredder and Storm Shadow and a little prequel to the TMNT cartoon.
Old Friends, New Friends - a set on Flickr I have to of course upgrade my Shredder with spikes and would like to do a red version of him too. I also would like to do an additional story with Saki and Yoshi. Cheers on your work here! |

That's a cool story and Shredder, man. Since I don't paint, mine looks less Shredder-like than yours.
