2014 Ninja Turtles Classic Raphael Mod Statue

This is a digital modification of the TMNT 2014 statue that comes with the blu-ray box set.  I am no master of Photoshop but I did the best I could editing out the unnecessary parts and giving Raph more of a classic look. Gone is the pug-nose, the do-rag, the stupid shades, and the gladiator skirt.  I also colored his bandages red.  I found the extra gear not only unnecessary but nonsensical.  

Is Raph supposed to be a barbarian? Gladiator? 50cent? a plain ole' street thug? I thought he was supposed to be a ninja.  Huge identity crisis here.  His upper half says thug while his lower half says He-man.   I won't even get into the size or the fact that he could never fit down the manhole he is standing over. (Oops, guess I did.)  I think at the very least removing the superfluous gear improves his design.
