TMNT Movie - Foot Soldier

I'm a little late to the party with this figure,but at the party, nonetheless. I've avoided the Nickelodeon line of TMNT figures like the plague.Aside from the Nick turtles themselves,I feel like alot of the villains got shafted.We still don't have a proper Shredder to speak of In this contemporary line of animated series or movie figures.Things do look a little brighter with this new line of movie figures,as far as Krang,Bebop and Rocksteady go.Last years movie line wasn't really impressive ,but they got this foot soldier right.I needed some villains to  display with my Playmates Nick Eastman Laird turtles ,and this figure earned that honor. Eventually I will have to track down a Krang ,Rocksteady and Bebop from this years first wave of movie figures.I won't really go into any review as this one's been on countless toy vlogs and sites already.


I would have rather this guy been named something else because to me a Foot Soldier has to be a Ninja.But he'll do as a general gun toting baddie In my T.M.N.T. universe. He's pretty bad ass.Everything fits snug on this guy,from the translucent mask to the solid weaponry. 



Lots of times ,when you get an action figure who comes with weapons, you worry about them being able to hold and store them.Well,this guy shines in both departments.I love the sheaths location on this figure. 



My only knock against this figure Is his scale.He fits In ok with the turtles line but that's about It.He's not 3 3/4 and not quite 6 inches either.He won't look right with any other line of figures that's not T.M.N.T. and that kind of blows considering that he has such a universal ,cool design.

    I really like the look of this figure, but as you say he fails to match in for 3 3/4" or 6" figures, he might match up with McFarlane's Walking Dead or Halo figures, most anything in at 5", but that scale is rare and a bit of a pain. He looks great though, I really like his real world design, nice match with the Turtles you have.

    Thanks D.Yeah he's a solid military themed figure but in an odd scale.

    I think he would look good with Batman.

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou...

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
