The Bad Guy Leader

Birthplace: Osaka, Japan

Height: 6' Weight: 200 lbs.

Shredder is the hideous, gruesome and all around bad guy leader of the Foot Clan, the organized band of evil Ninjas. This low life came to power when he betrayed his Ninja master, Hamato Yoshi (now Splinter).

Shredder wants nothing more than control of the world. And to get there, he'll stop at nothing, even if it means grating his victims like cheese with his razor-sharp armor. The obstacles in his path are none other than the Turtles, and he means to destroy them. Shredder fights a never-ending battle against the truth, justice and the American way. Basically, he's not a nice guy.

Reissues
The 1988 Shredder figure was re-released several times, including 1992, 1998, and 2010. The 2010 version was for the 25th Anniversary reissue line, and featured a slightly different leg sculpt, and came with the mini-Krang figure that originally was released with Krang's Android Body.
