New 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Figures Reveal Shredder, Splinter and More
by Andy NeuenschwanderAll of the trailers thus far for Michael Bay's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" reboot have been shy about revealing all of the characters. After all, it was only just a week or so ago that we got a trailer that gave us a good look at all of the turtles, rather than just Michelangelo. And we only barely got a look at Shredder or Splinter.
Well, that's changed. But not thanks to a new trailer; rather, it's thanks to the new action figures.
The merchandising for the new movie is due out soon, and there's a photo of all of the action figures circulating. The photo includes all four turtles, April, Shredder, Splinter, a Foot Clan soldier, and even Raphael in his street clothes.
The turtles look pretty much the same way they do in the trailers, though we're not sure what exactly it is that Mikey is wearing as pants. Are those some kind of Under Armor-brand clothing? Are they yoga strech pants?
However, we finally get to see Shredder's full armor here, and it's pretty wild. We can only assume that half of him is going to be CGI, as per usual Michael Bay procedures. We especially like his cape that also has razor blades on it. What?
Splinter looks pretty normal, though in keeping with these character redesigns having gross noses, they seem to have traded in a cute rat nose for a gross, pink, slightly hairless rat nose. But hey, he's a martial arts master, so he doesn't need to be pretty for you.
