Shredder Action Figure



Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shredder Action Figure


Shredder Action Figure
Whenever we get new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures it is inevitable that we get a new version of the Shredder, also. Originally conceived by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird when imagining a guy who wore cheese graters for armor, the Shredder has become one of the most recognizable and popular archenemies in cartoons and comic books. While these new toys by Playmates are based on the upcoming animated series from Nickelodeon, the designs of turtles almost remind me more of a blend of various comic book designs. Looking at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shredder action figure, he also reminds me of the Shredder in his recent appearances in the new IDW comic book series. Sure, Shredder action figure has a pretty standard look, but the all white eyes and the shape of the helmet really like that new comic art.

Shredder's head sculpt is pretty decent. His face is all covered, but the shape of the helmet is good and the all white eyes are really creepy. Not only is he just an imposing guy covered in blades, but the eyes give him a bit of a supernatural vibe. The upper body articulation isn't bad. The arms have a decent range of motion that does allow Shredder Action Figure to take a variety of poses with either his accessories or attached blades. Shredder is very noticeably taller than the Turtles or other figures in the line, which is true to how he's typically depicted.

My son loves having Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shredder action figure to fight against his ninja turtles. It doesn't have pieces that can be swallowed by my younger son, so this is a great toy all the way around!
