Mega Bloks are on a roll with their latest TMNT products. Not only are they entertaining, as they have articulation, but they are also very cool looking - stylized, yet not enough to be annoying.
This one in particular is the rarest of the bunch - Shredhead. He comes in this amazing see-through red plastic, which suits the figure and the character. Who doesn't love see-through plastic? Also, he goes great with the see-through Stealth Leo from Mega Bloks' TMNT2 Movie series, which is also great.
A bit of negativity hear: assembly is hard, for most of these figures. It takes a lot of strenght to fit some pieces together and assembly by a child alone is not recomended. They can get hard to figure out sometimes too, but Shredder is straightforward enough.
As typical, he is compatible with other Mega Bloks sets and with Lego sets, meaning he can play with your other figures: as a hologram, a giant or just Shredder. A lot of things to do wih him.
Another thing to note is that he is rather limited in his articulation, unlike other figures from the minifigures line. He has no articulations on his elbows, which can be a bit annoying when you want him to be more menacing towards those blasted turtles.
But either way, this figure (and the entire series thus far) is awesome. Shredder is my favorite TMNT character, I'm a 23 year old and usually don't go for figures, unless they really catch my eye. And this one did and I'm very glad I got him. I'm sure any child, for whom this figure is after all created for - to play with, will enjoy it too.

My son is just getting in to the TMNT and these figures are excellent.
Firstly they are small so don't take up a lot of space in his already toy packed room, they are compatible with his Lego (which he has loads of) so don't need to purchase specific Mega Bloks pieces and the figures are incredibly detailed.
He now wants everything in the range so a successful purchase.
