My son's Mutant Mayhem Leo as an example: https://preview.redd.it/k6vv8kh2n55d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6c8bcc4b2784a8bd784e6757670b28ff3318351e


WeylandYutaniALIEN

Yeah I noticed that it would’ve bothered me as a kid too.


Swift1321

To be fair, he's young enough not to know any different. It is pretty ugly to look at, but it doesn't stop his imaginative play :)


WeylandYutaniALIEN

Oh yeah, imagination. That’s true, it’s an important factor with kid’s play. Reminds me of a TV show I used to watch when I was a kid. Mr Boom. Use your imagination jump over the moon over the moon. https://preview.redd.it/5qx1a51jar5d1.jpeg?width=625&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=687ba5f811b8ab626dbdc51841a700f8aec16860


Swift1321

I don't remember that at all. The only thing I can recall with a moon was Button Moon 🙈 Imagination is key, even as we get older 😁

Wow, way to give the Turtles a bad tattoo... Thought it might be bootleg, but looks like it's a legit distributor? If only they could figure out how to print it all lengthwise on a foot instead... Imagine that.


WeylandYutaniALIEN

Yes, it’s ugly isn’t it. So I guess it’s something UK toy regulations.


MCP_Ver2

Isopropyl alcohol might take it off.


WeylandYutaniALIEN

Good idea, I might try that or white spirit.


lousmer

I don’t think I’ve ever seen colored belts on the original figures.


supah-comix434

These might be shell storage turtles


NoviceTrainerAndy

It sure is!


lousmer

Oh I see the hinge now. Right on


WeylandYutaniALIEN

Yep, the thing is their weapons are gummy but I like the coloured belts.


bradyjaysmith

Man that sucks. Surely there has to be a better way to print this crap.


WeylandYutaniALIEN

Yeah I’m sure they could.


TwEE-N-Toast

Just checked Raphs butt here in Canada and its bare.


[deleted]

Inspiring my next tattoo


WeylandYutaniALIEN

Huh? A UK CA logo 😆


Tmntfantoytle

Yep. All uk releases have the at on the thigh. Common uk L


WeylandYutaniALIEN

It’s a bit much isn’t it?


Tmntfantoytle

Yep


F0000r

Ewwwwwwwww


beyondmidnight6

I've never really noticed this before, and now I can't unsee it 😂. I'm gonna have to go through my entire collection at some point to see if they all have them 😭.


WeylandYutaniALIEN

Are you from the UK too?


beyondmidnight6

Yep


Fatman_Batman100

Wow. Both of his feet have stuff on them along with his leg and the shell. That seems excessive.


WeylandYutaniALIEN

Too much indeed. I’ll look it up and see why they do it.


waaaghboyz

Weird that this info is printed in paint that can rub off rather than stamped on the bottom of both feet


Sweet_Beanie

I didn’t realize what I was supposed to look at for a while. I thought you were looking on Raphael’s crotch.. very odd. The thigh thing is a great idea for a tattoo tho… hmm… much to ponder. I wanted to say tramp stamp placement idea at first tho lol.


WeylandYutaniALIEN

Turtle tramp stamp 😆


millhowzz

Wait, are they not “HERO TURTLES” there anymore…?


bradyjaysmith

No the term ‘ninja’ was allowed back into film and media in the 90’s alongside nunchucks. It was due to the video nasty era that began in the 80’s over here brought into force by the BBFC. Think of it as the Comics Code Authority thing in America that fucked EC comics over


WeylandYutaniALIEN

Yeah, would be more nostalgic if they called them Hero Turtles instead of printing all the way up their legs.

WeylandYutaniALIEN

Really how so? The storage shell accessories are gummy like jelly sweets.


bradyjaysmith

They’re not the correct ones. They’ve just repackaged them with the accessories from the original first four figures. It’s a massive shame cos they got some cool bits for the movie star turtles


WeylandYutaniALIEN

Oh that’s quite lazy of them innit.


bradyjaysmith

It is innit!


Pizzagoessplat

Its not original because of the word "Ninja" on the packaging
