Raphael as Shredder: a rant

 Back when I did the Nightwatcher rant, I mentioned Raphael as Shredder... it's another day, so let's rant:

On the Image TMNT, Raph ends up finding the place where Shredder's armors were made and he donned a makeshift Shredder armor to stop a battle between the Foot and the Mob. This would make for a decent variant. As long as it isn't a naked one-eyed Raphael with Shredder spikes and helmet. I know that technically, he was that, but that isn't too Toyetic. Part of me wants to make a "new" Raph as Shredder. A different part of me wants Raph to wear Shredder's clothes like the vintage toy:

Shirtless, bandaged forearms and shins with the spiked armors while wearing black pants and a cape. The third part wants precisely what I dread, which is a naked Raph with Shredder armor. 

So, let's tackle all 3 potential versions:

"NEW" take on Raphael as Shredder:

New Torso inspired by the 2012 Shredder's armor, but Turtle shaped. New forearms and legs with bandages like vintage Shredder 

New Turtle feet wrapped in bandages. 

The color scheme would be Black for the sleeveless bodysuit. Grey for the bandages and Torso armor with red for the helmet and spikes. Because 1980s Playmates logic. I would prefer red bandages and torso armor with silver spikes, but toy logic trumps Nefty logic.

Raphael wearing Playmates's vintage Shredder outfit:

Like the previous potential version, new forearms, shins, and feet with bandages. A New Torso would be required for the Shredder pants and bandaged neck. The helmet and spikes should look like Vintage Shredder's,  but in Raph proportions. Using Vintage Shredder as reference: Blue would be red on Raph. Purple would be gray on Raph and  Black would remain black on Raph. That means grey cape, bandages, and "diaper" with red blades. Red helmet with grey mouthguard/mask. Reuse the Sewer Samurai Leo hands. Adding new Vertical Hinged gripping hands.  

Image accurate Raph as Shredder:

The only reusable parts would be biceps and thighs. Everything else would have to be new to accommodate the Shredder spiked armor and helmet.

For accessories in all 3 versions:

I'd start by reusing the Kunai, Shuriken, and Cat Claws from Sewer Samurai Leonardo. 

I would add a pair of Jitte, since Raphael is Raphael. A second One eyed Raph head. Both plastic and soft goods capes.
