Advent Calendar 07: All I need is Vanilla Ice

 

Stock photo, not a Pic of my figure.
Opened before taking pic. My bad...
But it's fucking Tatsu. 35 years of waiting for an official Tatsu figure. The Hype is real.

A Paige Turco April, get scalped by Professor 

Perry, Keno, and SOTO Shredder... then I can "quit" the NECA movie line. Until the "What if the toon was made live action" Jumpsuit April gets released. I has a Tatsu. Funny thing: Now Tatsus are pegwarming at Walmart, but was scarce when I got this one.

So, Tatsu is Shredder's right Foot man... training the young trainees. Now he's here in my hands and I can't believe it. Kid me is so jealous right now. Kid me is also complaining that it looks weird... too much like a Barbie. Too big for his TMNT toys.


Articulation:
Tatsu has weird articulation. Single joint elbows with double knees. It seems the torso is a solid piece. Then again, Tatsu mostly stood around.
4.0


Paint and sculpt:
With most of his Body covered in soft goods clothing. You can't truly appreciate the sculpt underneath. It seems to be a bare torso with ninja legs. 
4.0


Accessories:
Extra head
Oni mask (nod to 2012 toon)
Katana
Tessen (open and closed)
Foot Ninja mask
5 hands


I feel like he needed more extra hands. Also, he needed the Ninja Vanish smoke bombs.
4.0


Overall:
Tatsu gets a 4.0 as his final score. He's not bad... but he could've been better. 
He's a cool addition to the line, as far as characters go. As a toy he's a bit meh. 

Honestly, I wish Super7 could use the SEGA Genesis loophole as a way to give us a Tatsu.
