For a change of pace today I thought it would be nice to take a break from Batman movie costumes and props, and feature this cool life-size 'Donatello' promotional statue from Paramount's 2014 live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie franchise reboot based on the 80's comic books by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird.
Life-size Donatello from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
This promotional theatre statue was on display at
ArcLight Hollywood cinema on August 16, 2014, and even though it's not an actual costume or prop from the movie, I thought for the more ambitious cosplayers it would be a useful tool for costume reference and would also be something cool for fans of the film to enjoy too.
In the movie
Donatello, named after the
Italian sculptor, is played by
Jeremy Howard and created via elaborate
CGI to bring the
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle to life, but this is still a pretty detailed cinema standee with his gadgets and signature bo staff (although he seems to be missing his spectacles).
Cowabunga dudes!
