NECA TMNT addendum

Posted on July 16, 2008 by Poe Ghostal

Today I reviewed NECA Toys' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures. The figures are great, with astounding sculpts and paint, and neat little city sidewalk bases. But the original idea for said bases was not plain gray; rather, they were to … Continue reading →
