Description
Here's Scumbug from the vintage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figure line. I always thought he was neat... although, after spending so much time looking at him for this, he's actually somewhat disturbing.Check out more of my TMNT stuff here ---> phraggle.deviantart.com/galler…

I definitely had this guy's action figure when I was a kid (no surprise there since I was obsessed with bugs of all kinds.) Never noticed that he had those four claws/venus-flytrap chomper things coming out of his torso back then, I don't think.

I remember when I got mine too.
Yeah, the chompers I think are extra arms. When I drew them, they appeared to be smiling so I just left them that way. I may have accentuated them a bit more than the toy. I'll have to dig mine out again to check.

Truly disturbing are the huge antennae on his "roachboys" . I remember this guy from a archie comics issue where he fights a planarian dude. Maybe you could draw him too?

That might be Wyrm that he fought. I'll have to look at my copies.

This one was another classic creepy figure. They put so much detail into those things. I find the lovely tulips oddly discordant with the figure, which I think works wonderfully!

He just wants to feel pretty.

I kinda remember him. I think my cousin or one of my brother's friends might of had him.
Either way awesome job!

He's just out to exterminate turtles for some reason. Probably got brain washed.

Still pretty neat!
Didn't the people who did the Toxic Avenger figures do the Turtles?

Thanks. Yes they did. I never bought those cuz... toxic waste is kinda... icky to me. They did Earthworm Jim though. I have all those figures.

I never collected those since I was ... well ... old when they came out. My nephew used to collect the Turtles, so I often helped him make his collection grow. I was always fascinated by the designs ...

I could never get myself to stop buying toys. So, I have a lot. The original turtle figures are still pretty cool.

I find that one smiling roach on his left leg amusing.

That's the one that looks like a grass hopper.

You sure know how to pick 'em. This is another one of my favorite TMNT toys.
