Turtles of Grayskull Design Q&A

We had the possibility to ask the design staff at Mattel in regards to the new Turtles of Grayskull line a few weeks in the past, and they’re again with some solutions!

Mattel as form sufficient to reply three questions for us about this upcoming line, so please learn on for the responses. The brand new figures ought to be arriving any time now!

through Mattel:

  1. What was the most important design problem in combining the worlds of MOTU and TMNT?

It was not a lot a problem because it was a labor of affection, however earlier than we might begin character design we wanted to craft and hone our story.  The narrative informs the design.  We approached the story with three totally different technique of character execution: All through this story we see the Turtles affect the Masters and vice versa. For example, Duncan is fascinated by the energy of the Turtle’s shells and is impressed to forge new armor primarily based on their design. Conversely, the Turtles discover kindred spirits within the Eternian heroes and don armor in comparable style. We all know Raphael is a bit head sturdy and he finds a connection to the Eternian battering ram, Ram Man. Moreover, some characters are mutated with Ooze, like He-Man. This meant having to alter our steadfast hero right into a mutated minion of evil! The consequences of the ooze could be surprising, and we see some actually radical and new iterations of acquainted characters. Character mash ups are in play as properly.  Lure Jaw and the Mousers discover themselves fused into Mouse-Jaw.  Faker and Slash grow to be an evil, robotic mutant turtle, Sla-Ker!

  1. What character/determine was essentially the most enjoyable to work on up to now?

Everybody on the staff has their favorites! A few examples are Raf, the brand new Mouse Jaw, and Shredder.

From Steve – 

As with all motion figures that I develop, every character tends to finish up holding a particular place in my coronary heart.  That mentioned, the introduction of the Ooze mutagen and its potential to remodel characters into mutated variations of themselves has opened up a broader spectrum of alternatives that I wouldn’t essentially be capable of incorporate into conventional designs. Characters like mutated Moss Man and mutated Ram Man could also be my favorites up to now.

  1. What was the thought course of in matching up characters from the TMNT world to these within the MOTU universe?

A few of it’s our private fandom. Properly, perhaps extra that some. We would have liked to verify we have been working inside the narrative and discovering enjoyable and surprising methods to push the story ahead. Hanging a steadiness of TMNT, MOTU, heroes and villains was important for each the storytelling and, properly, play! We’re excited to see what you suppose as extra characters get revealed.

*Due to Mattel for answering our questions!
