I have a "cartoon"-ish version of Shredder. Well, technically a videogame version, but that's a modern "Military camo" version of the "Cartoon Shredder". Finally a non-Mirage Shredder to display with Rocksteady and Bebop. My SH FIGUARTS TMNT are getting some figures to display with.
 |
| Leo: We finally caught you, Shredder! Shredder: Not so fast Turtles! Unless you want me to destroy your reporter friend! Don: Is he aware that we can say Kill, since we're not in a children's cartoon, but on a tiny blog run by a... Nefty VO: Be careful of what you're going to say, Donatello. Don: dude who loves edgy fan parodies, but hates when the official versions become pointly edgy parodies of themselves like Zack Snyder's DCEU... Nefty VO: Good... Raph: Now that we finished rambling withour new god, can i mention Shredder's fleshlight? Nefty: I didn't notice that... Thank you, Raphael! Mikey: wait... Did Shredder tie April like they do in my hentai collection? |
Articulation
If you have a Mirage Shredder, or a Toon Shredder, then you know what to expect here. Since all three figures are virtually the same, aside one or two sculpt details, but these don't hinder the articulation in any visible way.

| Shredder: Turtles! Welcome to die!! *sword turns on* Mike: Wait was that an X-Men arcade reference? Raph: Forget the arcade game, now he's gonna have Mickey riding our asses... Don: I don't know about Mickeyhimself, Raph, but his army of lawyers totally will! Leo: BROTHERS!! Turtles fight with Honor and we will defend Mickey from Shredder's copyright infringement! April: Seriously? |
Paint and sculpt
The figure is a based on the cartoon Shredder figure which is a modified version of The Mirage Shredder. There are some slight scope differences on this version like less spikes on his armor, bigger shoulders spikes. Despite this the figure still reads as Shredder.
 |
| Shredder: Donarudo Toranpo no manko gurabu! Raph: Aaargh! Shredder: You're male!? Mike: A Raiden joke! I got the reference! Leo: This is no time to talk about Metal Gear!! Don: I barely dodged being grabbed by the pussy... April: I was grabbed by the pussy once, it isn't as fun as former president Trump claimed! |
The paint job is the full pixel art look that is reminiscent of modern army camouflage. The colors are very bright and have rather sharp contrast to mimic video game Pixel Art.

| Leo: How come his not a lightsaber is not cutting through my katana blades? Don: I made them from Plot Armor... Mike: wait, Leo's swords are made fom anime boobs and butts? Don: NO!! Mike: Booya see it wasn't that difficult Ray Fisher kasha!! Shredder: I thought you said Cowabunga... Mike: times change... Shredder: Donarudo Toranpo... |
Accessories
4 extra hands. Mine has a slight defect in one left hand, which is probably why it was sold so cheap...
 |
| Shredder: No manko gurabu! Leo: Aargh! Mike: My face!! Don: Dammit! I Hit his armor! |
2 video game based energy effects.
1 laser sword it's not a lightsaber even if it looks like one.

| Shredder: 3 down, only the nerd kneels... Don: I'm not kneeling. I'm dodging... *BLAM! BLAM!* Shredder: Nani!? ???: Omae wa mou shindairu.. |
Overall
TiT Shredder gets a 4.5 as his final score... uh-huh-huh! Tit Shredder... heheh! Sadly, this is not a perfect substitute for the toon Shredder. I mean if I had the patience to properly disassemble and repaint him he'd be perfect. I don't have the patience and I don't have the fancy paints to replicate the cartoon look. I also lack the skills to properly make him a cartoon accurate cape.
 |
| Mike: Wait, did Master Splinter just bust a cap on Shredder's ass? Don: Technically his chest, Mikey, but yeah. Shredder: I thought you were a man of honor, Hamato Yoshi... Splinter: Ah, Oroku Saki, that is where you are wrong... Hamato Yoshi is no longer a man, or did you forget I am a rat now. Snake Eyes uses guns and he is ninja... Shredder: Curse you GI J... |
 |
| Don: Let me help you, Leo... Raph: It's not like I didn't need any help or anything... Splinter: Raphael! Stop whining like a little bitch! Mike: (whispering) Do I have to untie you? April: (whispering) if you want that handy, you better. Mikey: (whispering) Come on! I even got kicked in face by Shredder! Let me touch something! April: OK... Mikey: Will you call me Don Francisco? April: Don't push it Cory Matthews! Mikey:She got the reference!! |
 |
| Splinter: Well, looks like I am avenged... Shredder's dead no, so Pizza time? Leo: Master, this victory feels a bit hollow... Splinter: Well, Nefty doesn't own a Casey Jones, so I couldn't go Abby Anderson on him. Don: We still have Krang and the Technodrome to deal with... Mike: Mmmm! If you're this hot in your twenties, you're going to be some prime MILF in your 40s... April: Mikey, you're aware that I'd have to be a mother to become a MILF... Mikey: I could fix that... Raph: Damn, you two! Cut that crap out! April: Sorry... it's just that I'm tired of being kidnapped by Shredder nearly every single day. Despite being New York's hottest reporter, people avoid me like the plague... I NEED TO GET LAID EVEN IF IT'S WITH A HORNY TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE!! I'M AN EMPOWERED WOMAN AND IF I WANT TO COMMIT INTERSPECIES EPHEBOPHILIA, GODDAMMIT, I WILL!! Besides, thanks to the patriarchy, I'll get a milder sentence because vagina... Raph: hakuna your tatas. We're trying to deal with having fulfilled half of our lives purpose here... Mike: We did? Raph: Ueah, we did, Capitain Horndog! Splinter: Go home and celebrate my sons. I will give Shredder the burial he deserves. |
 |
| Splinter: For your actions, you don't deserve a proper burial... |
I COULD end the review here, but since it's the end of a special day, let's keep going!
Roadkill Rodney
They weren't videogame exclusive characters!! |
| Leo: Oh no! ROADKILL RODNEYS! Don: We have to be careful... Raph: I wanna smash them... Mike: I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going!! |
The Roadkill Rodneys are annoying little turd robots that dig their way into trouble. Think a Unicycle with tentacles and a cute little laser gun.
 |
| RkR1: Stop! Turtles! Destroy! RkR2: Crush! Kill! Destroy! Swag! Leo: We have to time our attacks carefully. Don: How cute, they're Naruto running... Mike: Dude, you're a ninja... Doyou run by leaning back? No, then they aren't Naruto running. When we lean forward to run, we are Naruto running... Raph: When did Mikey get so smart? Leo: FOCUS!! |
Normally, these come with a Triceraton, but I managed to snag a pair on ebay sans the Triceraton.
 |
| RkR1: La-la-la... Raph:Lazer my ass... go on "fearless leader" eliminate the weapon to surpass Metal Gear! Leo: Goddammit Raph, if you keep this up I'll make you walk with God... Nefty VO: Leonardo doing a Xenogears reference, specifically a Krelian one? Don: Eat my staff!! Mike: Help me brothers, I'm stuck!! Nefty VO: Mikey, what is it with you and porn references? Mike: Dude, I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going... |
Articulation
Due to their unique shape their articulation is not similar to any other figures.
They can rotate at the wheel and the tentacles also rotate at the shoulder there is a hinge in the Torso that opens up to unleash their cute laser. The wheel rotates but not freely since it's not exactly an "action feature". The rotation is to hide the peg hole for their stand.
Normally a humanoid figure would get a really really low rating here but since they are uniquely shaped set of characters, based on their body articulation is plentiful.
4.5
Paint and sculpt
They are mostly Gray in different shades more than one but less than 50... Berry color scheme almost matches the Mirage monsters from past San Diego Comic-Con exclusives...
This is totally a non subtle reference for NECA making a bucket of mousers and roadkill Rodney's available to the public.
The score matches the visual representation of the roadkill Rodney mostly going by the video games since that's where I've seen him used more often.
5.0
Accessories
Drillbit top
Battle damaged top. While it's made perfectly for the NECA Raphael Sai the SH FIGUARTS sai kind of fits in there while the Super 7 sai is too big.
Skidding dirt stand. This one attaches to the wheel so the figure can actually stand without falling.
Digging dirt stand. You remove the head from the body and attach it to this mall send it to simulate Rodney digging out of the ground.
Long arm to capture Turtles and in the case of the video game zap them as well.
5.0
Overall:
Roadkill Rodney gets a 4.83 as his final score.
NECA really did a great job with the little buggers. Mecca should consider reducing more roadkill Rodney's in a pack with multiple mousers.
