A couple of weeks ago, images of "
Remastered"
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures surfaced on the internet, and speculation ran wild: Could this be
Playmates giving the
TMNT line the '
MOTU Origins' treatment, with updated articulations? Well...
Pixel Dan received a high resolution picture of those figures, and we certainly have more questions than answers now. One collector, who suffers from
trypophobia, the irrational fear of repetitive clusters of holes/bump was certainly not happy with the choices made for the design...
ToyFarce investigated.
According to
Wikipedia, "
Trypophobia is an aversion to the sight of repetitive patterns or clusters of small holes or bumps". If you feel queasy when looking at honeycombs, this might be the reason why! Based on the hi-res picture that
Pixel Dan got, it seems that those turtles are very bumpy, clearly putting an emphasis on the '
Teenage' part of '
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle', with their skin riddled with acne and bumps. "
I can't even look at them!", said Matt, the
TMNT collector with
trypophobia who had barely gotten over the design of the
TMNT Movie Star figures from 1992. "
When I saw the picture, my first instinct was to throw my phone away."
Also, the comments "
Leo looks like a pickle" and "
Ribbed, but not for our pleasure" seen on the post won the internet that day.
