Classic TMNT Samurais with a helmet/bandana mod and colour pads switch.
Pic 4. TMNT Samurais options. From the left:
Just bandana without helmet
Cut helmet, cut bandana with full eyes
Cut helmet, cut bandana without top of the eyes
Regular Samurai Leonardo
The helmet mod:
Pic 5. First cut off the bandana part from the helmet. It is just soft rubber. It is easy to cut.
Pic 6. Take a bandana and cut it in about a half. Test fit it on a turtle wearing the modded helmet to see if it fits. Cut a little more and test it again. It is good to do it in tiny increments to not over do it. If you are going for the option with the top of the eyes cut, cut pretty much whole upper arch of them so the upper edge of bandana is in a straight line. Test fit it regularly.
Drop a tiny bit of superglue on the top of bandana so it glues to the helmet, fit it all together properly and let it dry.
Next level is making unique crests for their helmets. Any tips how to go about that?
Fun fact: Apparently all classic Leonardos so far came only with angry bandana, so that is why mine has different bandana than his samurai brothers (Mikey has come only with calm bandana and the remaining two with both options).
And the different face Leonardo uses is from Mutagen Canister Mikey.
I got 4 Leo Battle Packs a long time to army build the white Mousers and to have 4 Samurais ready for this mod, but I wasnt sure if it would work. Then by a chance I found a photo from Darealjstylez in Gallery which proved this would work nicely so I went and did it, finally.
