Kidrobot is thrilled to introduce a new Turtle-Powered art figure collaboration with CHOGRIN! This radical resin TMNT collectible pays tribute to the legendary Heroes in a Half Shell in the artist’s signature GURU style. Standing 6 inches tall and 8 inches wide, this multi-armed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figure comes packed with details designed with fans in mind.
Like many kids in the ‘80s and ‘90s, CHOGRIN was mutated by the worldwide phenomenon known as Turtlemania. On December 18th of 1990, the Turtles showed up with some pizza and cake at CHOGRIN's 6th birthday party! It was the most bodacious birthday party ever! Needless to say, the TMNT have a special place in CHOGRIN’s heart and history.
“The TMNT GURU is my love letter to all four turtles and the TMNT franchise in one piece of art,” says CHOGRIN. “With all my GURU designs, I try to encapsulate the things that a person or character loves and represents. With the TMNT GURU, I wanted to make sure that all four turtles were represented with their respective weapons, as well as including some iconic TMNT items like a slice of pizza or the ooze canister.”
“There are other Easter eggs that I hope fans will enjoy as much as I did incorporating them. I've loved the TMNT since I was five, so this is a dream come true for me as a fan and as an artist. I am honored to now be a part of the TMNT's legacy and am forever grateful to Eastman & Laird for creating the Turtles, to my parents for indulging me during Turtlemania and all of my passions growing up, and to the team at Kidrobot for the opportunity. ¡Feliz 40 años a las Tortugas Ninja y Turtle Power para siempre!”
