In stock items ship with Super7. There was a Happy Birthday offer where there was a 23% discount that made this Splinter come at Retail price with $2 shipping. I bought the flocking figure... literally for the sleeved Kimono. I hate myself. In any case everything else about Splinter is trains the Turtles to avenge Yoshi. Take the names from a Renaissance art book. mentor, father, sensei... he taught them to be ninja teens. He's a radical rat, yeah!
There isn't much to say about Hamato Yoshi or his pet rat... depending on continuity. Now let us see if he's an improvement over the previous release.

| Two splinters, two tunics |
Articulation:
The issues that plagued the previous Splinter, plague this one. No we had some extra limitations due to the flocking material.
3.5
Paint and sculpt:
It literally is the same Splinter as Wave 1, but with flocking, which hides some of the sculpting details. There isn't that much painting details since most of the body is covered in the flocking material. And what little Parts aren't covered in the material are painted in a single color without any shading. Who sing the figure will cost some of the flocking material around the joints to fall off. Eventually the figure will end up looking mangy.
4.0

| Splinter: Ahh! A nice cup of Folgers in the morning... Veuns, why are you looking at your brothers like that? |
Overall:
Flocked Splinter gets a 4.0 as his final score. He doesn't look bad, but my issues lie with the flocking material and that this figure was not worth the $55 price tag. Personally I might use this flocked Splinter as a younger Splinter.
