By Unboxing: Neca Classic Splinter
The true leader of the group. Splinter, a mutant rat, is the martial arts and ninjutsu instructor of the Turtles, as well as their adoptive father. In most incarnations, Splinter is a mutated or reincarnated martial artist Hamato Yoshi. Today we are taking a look at the classic movie line version from Neca of the rat himself – Mater Splinter!
Like other Neca movie line figures I have unboxed the past, the packaging on this fits in line with the classic 90s film using similar graphics, logo, and colors. Nice window at the front displaying the figure and accessories with a little backstory and some images on the back. This really brings back some memories of watching the film as a kid!
If you remember from the movie Splinters character worn torn and tattered clothing, and had a very old-school and frail look compared to some of the newer iterations of the character. This Neca resembles just that with heavily worn looking attire.
As with other Neca TMNT movie line figures this Splinter is spot on, really brining the classic character to life with all the classic details you would expect.
Accessory wise he comes packed with a canister of ooze, nunchucks, and a slice of pizza which I am sure Michelangelo will be happy about.
The articulation is pretty good but still a little stiff/fragile similar with Neca figure builds. It would have been nice to get an extra set of hands so that he could be posed holding the ooze or weapon more easily but you can still slide the chucks into his belt for a cool look.
The skin texture has been done very well to give him a weathered look as you would expect from an aged, overgrown rat! Great details on the face sculpt, hands, and overall build.
Don’t be fooled by his frail appearance – this is one rat you do not want to mess with! Did you enjoy this post? Great!
