Despite his evil schemes, you almost have to feel bad for poor Shredder. Here he is, a very intimidating-looking bad guy all decked out in bluish silver and basic black, his shrouded face giving him an extra air of mystery, and he’s even really well armed, possessed of two large swords, two throwing stars, and a massive bladed staff. As baddies go, he’s pretty impressive. But he’s still routinely outmaneuvered, outwitted, and flat-out pummeled by a group of adolescent mutant turtles that have been trained in martial arts by a rat. Imagine the ribbing this guy must take among other villains. Shredder stands about 5 inches tall and is articulated at the waist, legs, shoulders, and neck. --Charlie Williams
