It looks good, I guess, but I probably would have gone with Quick Kick because of the nunchaku or Bazooka because of his goofiness in the cartoon.

The turtle shell helmet, while  faithful to both franchises , does fit kind of loose on Raph's head.  Much like Leonardo's Ooze-y that dispenses ooze instead of bullets, Raph's gatlin gun shoots ninja stars. Twist the dial on the back to activate the spinning barrel action feature. Al...
