Cryin' Hound





















One character from the TMNT Adventures got closer to being an action figure than anybody else.
Cryin' Hound made it to the "sculptural input drawing stage" but I'm afraid that's where he stayed.

Ryan,
thank you I've been waiting to see what you thought and I'm glad that you like it.
I was a bit shy but sent a link to Kevin Eastman as well and he really likes it.
So far only one fan over at the technodrome fan forum didn't care for it.
Be eh screw it I don't care you guys know the character better than anyone else so that's all that matters to me.
I can't lie I like your design better lol.
And please keep these rejects coming.
Hell that'd be a great name for the line "Rejects"

You guys have got to get executive jobs at toy companies now and make your own turtle toys!
