It's actually based off of the original Playmates Super Shredder Chef Boyardee variant. It was a repaint you could get buy sending in proof of purchases to Chef Boyardee and is now extremely rare.
When i first saw super shredder in the movie I fell in love with the design. I was always for of a krang guy, because mech suits is my thing. But even as a kid I was "HOW DUD HIS SUIT MUTATE!!!" Channeling my full Annie Wilks from "Misery." i have learned to love the things I love beyond continuity and inaccuracies, I have learned to love the Nerd Wizard of Um Actually
Shadow Master Super Shredder just looks better with the rest of the TMNT movie figures because he looks more realistic.... I do however like the metallic silver armor bits better on the original I have one that took a shelf dive and shattered the helmet crest I think I’ll swap the silver armor on to the Shadow Master.
Yeah this guy looks like how you remember Super Shredder while the original is the production suit. Kinda like how Superman in the JossLeague has the production look vs the design after the filters/color correction. I personally like this look and would love to own one. But I'm not dropping $60(the real retail price) for a dupe in my case. I LOATHE how NECA has released these figures. They partnered with Walmart who simply does not sell these kinds of products in the majority of the United States. 4000 locations and only a handful in CA, Tx, and FL will be stocked. Then you will find some stores sprinkled everywhere else. So I think it's tone deaf when NECA offers it's excuses. Maybe one day NECA will offer these products to other vendors.
The promo pictures really didn't do it justice. I came across the original at Walmart and snap bought it, but now I really prefer this version. Doesn't help that I think the toy I had as a kid was closer to this color.
My friend got me mines also.. & I said the same thing u said... I never find anything😭😭😭 love yo reviews & I can’t wait 2 see your figures drop⛩⛩⛩👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾✌🏾
Neca should make a SNES or comic spiderman action figure they've done incredible stuff with classic games and poster figures like Godzilla and the AVP figures. The articulation would honestly be true to spiderman as well Neca has really stepped up articulation this passed few years.
@@cincila6981 I don't think they'd have any problems because they've done marvel characters before. Look at revoltech and all the other lines that have done spiderman. I think Neca would do great.
@@cincila6981 I know but that's what I'm saying, if japan has rights to make spiderman figures I don't see why Neca wouldn't have rights either? The deadpool figures were great before
@@AnthonysCustoms None of the Walmarts in my state sell NECA products(or stock Hasbro/Mcfarlane/Mattel) figures that aren't in the toddler section. So the only option is buy from 3rd party sellers(who purchased it from Walmart) at twice the price or...........not own one.
