Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ReAction Figure Wave 3 - Damaged Foot Soldier

That battle damage is so well done, with chipped paint and a cracked shell that looks just like he took a direct hit from a Turtle weapon. The retro card back is perfect for displaying, and the articulation is solid enough to pose him in a fighting stance.

The paint apps on the damaged areas look surprisingly good for a retro figure, with a nice gritty texture that matches the comic art. It’s a fun throwback to the old 5-point articulation style, and the red bandana on the leg is a cool touch.

I was a little worried the damaged look would be sloppy, but the battle-worn detailing on the chest and mask is actually really clean and intentional. It fits perfectly with the retro 3.75-inch scale of the other figures in my collection.
