so for christmas i got the boy teenage mutant ninja turtles action figures. they are spiffy and awesome and really articulated for action figures. his are the full-color version with the traditional red headbands, and thus AWESOME.
this weekend we saw the black and white version at the store. backstory is, with the turtles i got the boy, i was skeptical of the level of detail in that: can there be too much? and the lil nubby ninja turtle tails were bothersome. but when we saw the black and white versions, i realized i had no idea what bothersome really is! these were just plain wrong. observe…
here is a group shot of the ninja turtles:
here is a shot of a normal ninja turtle tail:
now here is a shot of leonardo’s tail:
yeah, that just ain’t right, man. the tails were a bit too pronounced for my tastes anyway, but this one here? FAILURE! it’s wrong!
