Write a Review link for that item. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Neca) (Neca)"Mah name… mah name is Cryin' Houn'! Mah first name, being the name before mah last name, is Cryin'! Mah name, taken together… mah name is Cryin' Houn'! Mah name is Cry-" Shut up already. When NECA revealed their Stump Wrestling Turtles, it was clear to fans that we'd get some complementary characters. They put out Leatherhead, but he fought Ace Duck, not the turtles. Rather, they fought the strong, four-armed (and annoying) Cryin' Houn'. Unlike the other recent Adventures figures, Houn' was first to market at Walmart rather than Target, but he's showing up at the latter now, and you should be able to find the other wrestling figures with no issue. Cryin' Houn' resembles a big, ugly dog, hence his name. While his debut issue was drawn by Jim Lawson, Houn's sculpt, done by Tony Cipriano, resembles Ken Mitchroney's style more. He has a big chin, thin black ears, and an angled smile. The black around his eyes is supposed to be a mask, but I don't see a string or anything, so I assume the headband holds it onto his head. His head is a solid hunk of plastic, with slightly softer plastic for the ears, and bold colors. The lines could be better, but for the most part, he looks pretty good. Also, despite what the box illustrations suggest, the upper part of his head is supposed to be a fleshy pink. At about 7 1/2" up to his ears, Cryin' Houn' may not be the largest TMNT figure NECA's done, but so far, he's the largest one in the Adventures line. He's also very chunky and muscular, and with four arms as well, making him one of Stump Wrestling's strongest combatants. He's dressed in a singlet, which is a layer of rubbery material over the torso, alongside boots and gloves. Most of his clothes are a bold pink combined with light purple, and the paint is mostly good, but the issue with bleed and uneven lines is still present. The body underneath and arms are much better, with cleaner lines and great sculpting on the muscles. He has dog tags as well, are they're hanging on a string attached to his back, allowing for them to dangle more naturally. As a wrestler, Houn' needs plenty of articulation for wrasslin', and Jay Kushwara gave him all the joints he could ask for. He has a barbell head and chest, swivel/hinge shoulders, elbows, wrists, and ankles, ball-jointed hips, swivel thighs, and double-hinged knees. He doesn't have pinless joints for the knees like the Wrestling Turtles got, but they don't throw off the look too much. The head joint offers plenty of motion, and the chest crunches forward great, but not so much in other directions. The only accessories this guy gets are five pairs of hands: closed, splayed, grasping, shaka sign, and peace sign/extended ring and pinky fingers. Since he has four arms, he really should've gotten two of each pair, especially considering the higher price. So if you want him to have all fists or all grasping hands, you'll need to buy a second one. Cryin' Houn' is a great figure, but also a tough sell. You're paying $50 for a figure with extra hands and nothing else, and I was actually hesitant to pick him up until I caved in, but I suppose the figure's size and heft contributes to the above-average cost. Still, he's worth the price if you have the Turtles four-pack as well, and with more Stump Wrestlers confirmed for next year, you may want to invest in a ring scaled for them as well. The WWE Legends cage by Mattel looks like it could fit with these. - 12/6/24   by RMaster007 |
