Sideshow Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Statues

Are they still previewing Donnie today? I thought the pics would have been up by now.

So nice. Love the casio databank on his wrist.

Hmm....so no heads up email for the invite like there was for Mikey.

Supposedly, it's still going to happen.

His pose doesn't really blow me away. The design seems like the weakest of the group so far.

 

[KingB]

I love the stance personally. Fits well with his art form.

 

[Scareb]

All this anticipation is giving me heartburn.

I agree, unfortunately. I'm buying him, mind you, but I'm not really thrilled with Donnie's pose.

Considering the four of them together look like they are prepping for a fight (in the art print), there's only so many stances you can take with a bo. Donnie was always the more grounded character and I think this stance shows that as well.

Still hoping for an invite email...

Yeah, I just can't imagine him in too many other fighting stances. I could think of some cool relaxed stances but this it meant to be dynamic and ready for action.

I think it would look a bit less awkward if he gripped the bo staff at the center instead of it being closer to the tip. Hopefully it will be adjustable.

The grip on his staff actually makes a lot of sense. Its high up his back and very close to his other hand for quick hand change if needed. A more offensive stance that adds some power to to overall pose.

That makes a lot sense actually. Looking at the statue, it looks like it's in a good position that he could easily grab it with his right hand and bring it down on an enemies head.

Was there anything saying there would be an early invite?

 

[TimStatelman]

I have the other 2 exclusives locked in but I'm really hoping there is an invite for Donnie. It would suck not to have the complete set

 

[slynger]

I still haven't got the invite email. Should I still get the notice when it goes up for PO?
