Nice work! No easy feat there. you are of course extremely talented, so not surprising, but still, making the bends look right is not easy. And they do look right!
Frankly, I can't imagine why you wouldn't want the diorama base for your awesome ninja turtles.

@ RSJake
Thank you Jake, I have Ish to thank for those bends. He did a gear job indeed. We figured that resin is an unforgiving material and any modelling "shortcuts" that would normally work for a personal scratch-built leave various artifacts unallowed for a commercial product. So only the hard way remains...
@WP
It's ok pal =) We - artists should stay motivated We believe people should have a choice weather or not pay for such a display. Some might not need one after all.

That may be. But I certainly need it. That's my childhood embodied right there.

How about Thunder Cats?
MASK!

MASK wasn't exactly my thing, the series made it to Russia when I was already an adult, making miniatures of GI Joes (who was an embodiment of action-figures) is like making cake replicas - wrong somehow
But He-Man... that idea stuck in my head after I watched 2002's version, which I personaly count among best animated series of all times:
The design is so reach in detail and inventive, all the things that looked rediculous back then suddenly made sence... And it would go well along my sculpting style...

Seing as Ralph has always been the coolest most badass turtle of all, I'm glad you gave him quite a badass pose too!

Oh no worries, I will post the wips once I am painting them in my own style based on the old series and comics. My roommate hates the Michael Bay versions, so not going that route. Sticking to the classics here. I also want to get me that other tech-knight-priest once he is done, hoping his armor is a bit more modified so it looks all "dark side"

Well if we're rambling off old cartoons I want as miniatures:
Dungeons and dragons cartoon show
Silverhawks
Zone riders/spiral zone
But most importantly adventures if the galaxy rangers especially them on their robotic horses for rough riders

@ shaso
The last time I saw the model Ish's working it was pretty dark-scary
@ Theo
DnD cartoon? Seriously? Zone Riders had some cool designs at the time, but today they'll look rather generic. Silverhawks... Wings of silver, nerves of steel... They have a strong retro style to them and can look rather awesome as miniatures if properly applied But Galaxy Rangers... No guts - no glory! but that would take alot of effort to make it look right.

Excellent! I am needing scary dark looking dark ronin, maybe with different style scary heads? the initial one looked like he was patched up and kept alive more options means I can make a pair of Dark Ronins to counter balance my Ronins (cue SW Imperial March)
After all, with the Dark Side, there is always 2, a Master and an Apprentice!

That's quite an option. I'm thinking about a helmet version. Scary helmet version
Must see more! because I will buy 2 of them with options like I did the Ronin
