To my eyes, he looks like what would happen if Trendmasters tried to copy the Sigma Six style.

He's loose as hell now, an I don't even know where the shield is anymore. Friggin' love that figure; I was really hoping they would make an Alley Viper in those colors as a homage.<br /><br />Anyway, chances are I probably would have used that Foot Soldier for similar things if I had had it back in the day.Alexxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467443844522666834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-61445849659006668222012-08-18T06:47:34.422-04:002012-08-18T06:47:34.422-04:00The only Turtle figure I had back in the day was t...The only Turtle figure I had back in the day was the original Foot Soldier, since my friends had the various Turtle/Shredder/named characters.<br /><br />I brought the disposable muscle. He'd also serves as a troll/ogre when I'd turn some Joes into Fantasy (That Black/Yellow Alley-Viper became a Lizardman with his shield a a random sword, sometimes road the JP Raptor into battle).<br /><br />Good times. This foot ninja looks to be the best they've made.

Friends had 'em, so I did get to play with them. They were hunched and creepy, but they served the purpose of an unsettling humanoid appearance - you know, since they were really robots. They worked well because their arms were mostly outstretched, so you could make some use of them (unlike the original Shredder with only one hand for holding things, and it's bascially hugged to his chest and had only two fingers extended for his pathetic grip). <br /><br />Anyway, I'm afraid I'll have to deny your request, as I do not have either of those vintage figures! Never had 'em, actually. In fact, I'd have to dig out most of my vintage stuff save for a few. I've got the smaller Krang robot body out, and two Mousers. The rest I gotta dig for. If you want me to use those, then you'll see them at one point, 'cause I dug 'em out to use them for reviews.<br /><br />Oh, and cool damaged Mega Man! I looked up the creator and it looks like he does quite a few Mega Man items that I've seen before; I think I'm getting used to his style now so that I can almost recognize it by the paint work and innards!

Luckily, I got four loose from a friend for a song, so at least I didn't pay full price for 'em.<br /><br />The vintage foot soldier was my first troop-builder; I bought one for each turtle. I bought a wind-up Mouser for each turtle, too. I went a bit crazy with the Ninja Turtles circa 1990. While they were probably useless, articulation-wise (I can't remember for myself, oddly enough), there was something creepy and zombie-like about the hunched pose of those vintage foot soldiers that appealed to me.<br /><br />Now then...<br /><br />Photo Request!<br /><br />If at some point you could photograph the Nick Turtles alongside vintage Bebop and Rocksteady, I would be very grateful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
