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.

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.
