Tyrano Shredder: The Ferocious Fusion of Tyrannosaurus Rex and Shredder
The Tyrano Shredder action figure is a fascinating and unique addition to any Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) collection. Released as part of the TMNT Mutations line, this toy brilliantly combines the iconic villain Shredder with the prehistoric might of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, creating a formidable foe for our favorite heroes in a half shell.
Key Features of Tyrano Shredder:
Hybrid Design:
Tyrano Shredder is a fusion of Shredder's menacing armor and the powerful physique of a T-Rex. The design blends Shredder’s recognizable features, such as his helmet and blades, with the massive, muscular build and reptilian traits of a dinosaur.
Articulation and Playability:
This figure boasts multiple points of articulation, allowing for a wide range of poses and action-packed scenarios. Kids and collectors alike can recreate epic battles between the turtles and this dinosaur hybrid.
Detailed Sculpting and Paint:
The attention to detail is remarkable, from the textured skin and sharp claws to Shredder's armor and weaponry. The paint job enhances these details, bringing the figure to life with vibrant and contrasting colors.
Transformation Feature:
True to the Mutations line, Tyrano Shredder can transform. This feature adds an extra layer of fun and interactivity, allowing the figure to switch between Shredder and his dinosaur form, offering dual play modes.
Collectibility:
As a part of the TMNT Mutations series, Tyrano Shredder is a must-have for collectors. Its unique concept and execution make it a standout piece that captures the imaginative crossover of TMNT and dinosaur themes.
Background and Story:
In the TMNT universe, Shredder is the arch-nemesis of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, constantly devising new schemes to defeat them. The Tyrano Shredder toy imagines a scenario where Shredder gains the powers of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, enhancing his strength and ferocity. This mutation turns him into an even more dangerous adversary, challenging the turtles to adapt and overcome.
Why Collect Tyrano Shredder?
For fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Tyrano Shredder is more than just an action figure; it's a piece of the franchise's rich and imaginative lore. It showcases the creativity behind the TMNT toy lines, offering a blend of nostalgia and novelty. Whether displayed on a shelf or engaged in play, Tyrano Shredder represents the endless possibilities within the TMNT universe.
Final Thoughts:
Tyrano Shredder is a testament to the innovative and fun spirit of TMNT collectibles. Its hybrid design, transformation feature, and detailed craftsmanship make it a prized addition to any collection. For both longtime fans and new enthusiasts, this figure encapsulates the excitement and adventure that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have brought to audiences for decades.
Do you agree with his view on collecting?
Amazing collection 💯
Yup-yup, I consider toys as art in 3D.
Personally, I don't consider it needing to be in its carded shell, or in-box, especially graded!
Although those are amazing, toys that are free from their packaging for me, are ❤
I get to mess around and admire its features. It's sculpt, design, and the engineering behind it for its articulation.
As long as it can be displayed, yeah, it's a work of art 💯
Great episode ma' man!
Absolutely I collect art 💯
Have you ever met someone who didn't play with toys as a child that started buying toys as an adult because they thought it was art? I haven't. I think that the guy in this video was accurate when he said it's art "in a sense". Figures can be compared to sculptures, sure, and vintage box art was literally based on paintings, of course, but I, personally, wouldn't consider toy collecting as art collecting. I think that the art aspect is secondary to the nostalgia factor. I also wouldn't fault someone who considers themself an art collector. That's the great thing about art - it's open to wide interpretation and personal preference.
I agree. I always viewed it as a form of art collecting as well.
I admire collectors who can stick with and are loyal to a certain theme.
I'm all over the place! My wallet however is 6ft under 😂😩
Yeah I love collectors that do that I dream to be them when I grow up one day but I'm happy with my room looking likepop culture explosion 😂 Got the Last Ronin next to Starsceam next to Weapon X next GI Joe wall full hot wheels 😂
It really touches my inner Virgo seeing a well put together collection. Clean and organized. Mans checked all the boxes right here😂
Thanks for sharing!!
Kinda wish we saw more of his collection and especially that Real Ghostbusters Tat!
Kept some stuff out for the bigger doc. However, we do need to go back and film. About a year ago I had an external hard drive get corrupted and lost some footage from it. This was one of the victims of that.
Keep up the excellent work! Looking forward to seeing more of your content in your channel and from other channels that you film!
Thank you! Will do!
Totally using "I'm an art collector" next time someone tells me to grow up and stop wasting money on toys. Then I'll double down with "if Michelangelo were alive today, he'd be making custom figures in his home studio - FACT!"
But yeah, I'm with TampaTurts on cardbacks. Some of them are just beautiful, especially from the 70s & 80s. Even though _The Phantom Menace_ has its detractors, I'll not have a bad word spoken about those stunning cardbacks..
Those have good cardbacks?
@@ToyAttics Oh yeah, I love em! Darth Mail in the top right corner. I'm an OG Kenner collector so I've only ever picked up one TPM figure. Of course it was Jar Jar lol
I'll have to check them out.
Lol I also feel like collecting figures is like posable art.
It most definitely is
Nicely put 💯
Really enjoyed seeing the collection video keeping coming
Glad you enjoyed
Always nice to see a focused/well organized collection. I could never collect just one IP 😄
What do you collect?
This was cool, but it could’ve been ultra terrific fantastic….. but it’s not because it ended and there was so much more I was hoping to see in the men’s collection.
Another great interview! It’s awesome to see/hear their stories and how relatable everyone is with this hobby. I especially felt the comment on when staring out, it was just focus on getting as much as possible. Loose, incomplete, and wear, it didn’t matter as long as I was getting some sort of representation. I don’t think I will personally shift to a more serious approach with complete, mint, and moc. Just seems like too much of a deep dive. I actually like the charm a worn and incomplete figure has. For me, if I still had the figures from my childhood, that’s more than likely the shape they’d be in (and maybe worst!). I love the reissues too to supplement characters and accessories. Still, it is fascinating to see these toys in great condition and the carded collections through these docs!
That's great! So glad you enjoyed this video!
Now see I'm like him, my ocd gets the best of me and I want everything clean and immaculate looking.
@@ggary04 it happens
These videos show me,that i need to display mine, and well. All in bins right now
YEa man! Get them out!
Great episode!🤩
Great episode...keep up the good work! His turtle collection is amazing!
Thanks? And you think so?
This guy is really interesting, you need to have him on more man 💯
Maybe
I love your collection so awesome ❤❤❤😊
We really are. Toys are sculptures. Mass produced at a factory, sure. But really, how is a toy any different from any of those decorative sculptures that you get at a Marshall's or TJ Maxx? It's all made at a factory, but based off an original sculpture.
lol nobody buys statues from tj maxx you bum
Playsets are amazing to me too! Yeah, as long as it could be displayed 👍🏼
Some invest in silver and gold, etc. I invest in art 😁
Sweet collector !!
Meng another great collection its hard to agree with these amazing collecters they have there own way wow stay bless great 🎥
Thanks for watching and commenting
❤
Tampa Turts! He was on Whatnot for a bit but disappeared!
oh really?
Was he scammin’ away? So many whatnot sellers go down the dark path of scamming.
@@ToyAttics really, saw him in many shows, he bought here and there. He also did a few shows selling and then disappeared.
@@chexnfx7161 no he was solid from what I’m aware of. He’s only sold 59 items, few shows worth of stuff. Just found it odd that he disappeared after being quite a regular on Whatnot.
Ahhh can't get enough turtles.
Yea? See anything you wanted?
@ToyAttics Yeah where did he get that Secret Sewer Map banner from?
That's a great question! I have no idea!
@ToyAttics You're fired 😅
Probably should be
So much money.😳
Where can I get displays like his?
Ikea has these
I heard they discontinued them
Can anyone tell me what those turtles are in the blue arctic looking jackets behind him? Never seen them before I gotta hunt those down.
Arctic Don from the Adventurers line.
@@ToyAtticsthank you
I will never own this after doing the research! Can’t believe he has 4!
@@TurtleC0mic haha. Its pricey
@@ToyAtticsI’m thinking I’ll just make a custom set of arctic turtles and call it a day
LA Beast?
What?
@ToyAttics he looks like LA beast lol he's a youtuber
Oh. Ok. Never heard of him
@@ToyAtticsLABeast is a legend.
I collect toys, i LOVE them. And i love art. Toys can not be art, though. There's no art without a message or a deep, personal expression from the artist. Toys can channel creativity and ingenuity, but they can not be considered art.
That’s just wrong.
You must teach art lol
Ooof.
Your comment is precisely why toys are art and I'm baffled that the core message of your own comment completely flew over your head....
