While it is neat how they flex with his elbows, the trade off is this villain lacks a bicep swivel which most of the Turtle figures appear to posses. To add to the powered suit motif, The Shredder has a pair of strength enhancing armatures as part of his blade tipped gauntlets. The big silver front skirt is made of really soft plastic so it can move with the legs. The Shredder can look left or right as his head rotates a full 360 degrees.ĭetailing on the rest of the figure is alright and looks reasonably accurate to the brief snippets we've seen of the on screen design. He has a little extra silver paint atop his cranial cover to bring out the detailing. It doesn't really look like there's a person behind the mask as there's just two black pits that stand in for proper eyes. Probably the strangest thing about this toy is how he has streaks of flesh colored paint applied inside the inhuman eye sockets. The Shredder's helmet is a cool design but looks rather mushy on this toy. Once attached, it is nice and secure on The Shredder's back. This symbol of swag and power has some sharp spines along the edges and is styled like it's made from chain mail. With his cape attached, The Shredder starts to look more like the leader of a powerful legion of soldiers. His cape pegs in at the two holes near his shoulder blades.

The familiar look of The Shredder is maintained in this incarnation but with a heavy dose of Whiplash from Iron Man 2 thrown in.įrom front to back he is a modern armored movie super villain. Overall the colors on this figure are kind of dull and not very well matched between the different types of plastic used in his construction.

He is mostly soft PVC with some ABS parts stuck on. The Shredder stands about six inches tall with an extra half inch from the crest on his helmet. Once the figure is removed from his package you are greeted with his singular accessory: a large soft PVC cape. I was thinking about showing a close up of the Splinter but I'd rather our young readers not have nightmares. The back of the card shows off some more toys.

Inside the bubble, the figure is secured with a single plastic twist tie. Here is the the Shredder in his packaging. Let's take a look at the new Ninja Turtles version of this classic villain.

The Shredder has gotten the modern movie update as his samurai suit is a bit more mechanical and powered armor-y.

In the upcoming film, the Turtles eternal adversary is no longer just a just a ninja crossed with a cutlery store. It's been a long time since the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had a big budget live action film, and with their return to the silver screen comes with some changes. Growing up, I can scarcely remember a time when there were no heroes in a half-shell having adventures on television and on the big screen.
