Splinter is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles minifigure released in 2013. He is the sensei of the turtles.
Description
Splinter has a new head mould made for his figure. It has two brown ears sticking up with the insides being dark cream-coloured. His eyebrows are white as well as his beard and the bridge of his nose. The top of his head is black as well, as is his beard that stretches along each side of his face. Splinter's dark red torso piece has printing on both sides, with the front bearing a long collar and lapel that is bound up in a brown belt. The reverse side of the torso has the back of his belt and a black flower in a circle of the same colour. Instead of legs, Splinter has a sloping brick to depict a kimono. It is dark red with black flowers in a vertical pattern on the left side.
Background
Hamato Yoshi was a human and formerly member of the Foot Clan. One day in New York, Hamato bought four young turtles at a pet store when a man accidentally bumped into him. Hamato thought something was "off" about the person, so he decided to investigate. While listening to the man have a conversation with another one, he stepped on a rat causing the men to hear him. The men then fought Yoshi until he accidentally stepped in a chemical they had with them. Yoshi mutated into a giant rat while the baby turtles became more humanoid and intelligent. Yoshi raised the turtles as sons and trained them in the art of Ninjitsu as their sensei, Splinter.
