So I've been trying various bodies to get my Shredder completed, and lo and behold I found one of the X-Men Legends Magnetos, and I knew I found what I needed. Seriously the body was like ideal for the image I was trying to produce. a lean fierce fighter, plus he was already wearing purple which seemed to be the color that represented the Foot in the original cartoon. All I had to do was take the blades (repaint the blue of course) off of the original Shredder figure and add them to the body. I also replaced the Magneto arms with Angel arms from the same toy line, mostly because I liked the pouches and I figured those would be deemed useful when a Ninja needs a place to store smoke bombs, or shuriken or chrome polish. I repainted the original Shredder head to get the helmeted look.
All in all I love the way this figure came out, like seriously, and he's the right scale to go with my Bebop and Rocksteady.
