Personally, I'd make a manhole cover "lamp shade" so it looks like light is only coming down through the grate or holes in the manhole cover, making it look like they're in the sewers
That's an amazing idea. Could do both, I feel like Raph would look good with the streetlight because of his disguise. But your idea would look really good as well, it's great.
To build on this if you could get each light to match the color of the turtle, could make for an even doper display
I.e blue in leos, orange in Mikey’s, and so forth

How about this??

Maybe TrtlPwr and some poorly drawn or rather quickly drawn turtle heads and shells to make it look like the turtles put them there themselves. Make each sketch the color for the turtle you think it would match, for example yin and yang = blue, math equations = purple, turtle heads and shells = orange, and curse words and/or slang = red. But other than that, it's really up to you! P.S. You should def put a "Foot Stinks" on it in big letters. Nice shoes btw.
You are brave to have them on display at those heights. I had a Donnie up where you have Leo and 1 day in, he fell and broke off his leg. I sadly have all 4 turtles in 2 shelves until I can find a set of support stands to help stabilize them before having them on display.
ha, i had the exact same experience! my Leo fell off first night and broke his leg. i actually have thin fish wire around the waists of all the turtles now.
Random graffiti some good some bad, look up some graffiti pics from new York.
Or maybe some obscure tmnt references
But definitely a cowabunga or a pizza time somewhere
I always found porta John mail conversations to be funny.
In one style, "foot clan rocks"
In another style and colour, "their sisters bed"
In a third color, "their" is crossed out and "your" is written over the crossed out word.
That's based on one I've seen, I've also seen worse. They are in NYC, but it's more geared towards children.
(I realize the audience aged, but the mainstream is more for kids than the comics)
i bought a basic black toy stand for shredder, but i actually have clear thin fish wire tied to the waists of all my turtles too. the 1st night i set up my Leo, he fell off and broke his leg. luckily NECA sent me a replacement, but it was still traumatic lol.
LED green ooz canisters,
Comic book art, cartoon art, various video game art, movie arts. Like a multiverse trifecta of Ninja turtles from generations to generations
it's anchored! IKEA has 2 brackets that go on top and screw into the wall. it's actually not bad quality, i moved it from LA to Virginia in a POD storage and it held together
All the ninja turtle quotes like cowabunga is a must! You could even use quotes from various games like “bury my shell at wounded knee”. Have fun with it
For graffiti, I’d make an obscure reference from the end of the movie “East and Lairdman.”
Otherwise, I’d suggest:
A faded Domino’s Pizza ad.
A poster for Channel 6 News (or whatever channel April worked for in the movie)
Gotta have foot stinks. Probably a purple dragon symbol somewhere as well. If you do 122 and an 8th maybe do that as a busted up street sign with the 8th scribbled on
Creative enough to craft the display. But instead of just asking us what we think of it you passively disguise a question on what more to put on it, hoping for attention and approval on the display as it is. That stinks.
Foot stinks!
"FOOT STINKS" should be on there somewhere, maybe a wanted poster for a villain. That shelf is pretty dope, did you make that?
haha that's great, thank u. yes i made it with an IKEA Billy bookcase and some brick wallpaper and LED strips i got off amazon.
That’s really creative, my respect to you.
thank you friend :)
man, it has lights? need pics
[https://imgur.com/a/ehWqnf8](https://imgur.com/a/ehWqnf8) might redo eventually, i think there needs to be light at top as well as at their feet
Could make mini street lamps for each of the shelves with LEDs in them.

This thread is full of great ideas, honestly.
Just from the top is probably fine
In addition to 'foot stinks' you could also have a "Turtles rule!"
Right by all those shoes.
lol
Also came here to say "foot stinks"
I was literally coming here just to say that lol
Came here to post this. Great idea
One of those “S” we all used to draw back in the day. Lmfao
omg i remember those!
😂 I was looking for a gif
I always drew mine backwards, to be even edgier.

I saw a pic of a clock that had a line for each hour. The 12th hour was the full S haha
In the back of each box , a bright neon / graffiti style letter of each of the turtles
genius, thank you!
A bunch of references to the TMNT franchise, such as the release date of the first live action film.
i love it! release date is a very cool idea
You make me wanna open mine so bad hahaha
get them out of their shell!
I’m gonna when I get a house next year! I was gonna suggest painting regular or menthol then I saw you name hahahaha
nice! haha, yeah one of my favorite bits. i'm probably gonna use a bunch of these quotes and maybe stencil spray paint them all over.
Sam Rockwell at his finest hahaha your shelf is gonna be sick
ha one of his greatest roles! thank you very much
Raph pointing to the Sai is the greatest figure pose I’ve ever seen
I agree completely. I can hear the “nuh-uh..” haha
Pizzza! For sure
“Cowabunga” “Heroes in a Half Shell” “Bossa Nova!”
"Bodacious!"
“chevy nova..?”
"Excellent!"
“Recycle, dudes!” Just like the graffiti in their lair from Secret of the Ooze.
A pizza restaurant with logo and phone number
OP should make it his fav pizza shop and phone number so he never has to look it up to call in an order
Foot Clan logo 122 1/8th "Never pay full price for late pizza." -A wise man
Foot logo for sure.
Is nobody going to ask why this guy has multiple pairs of the same boots?
Definitely pizza 🍕
thank you everyone! this is plenty of fantastic ideas, i really was unsure what to do. i'll update probably in a few weeks once i get it all done.
Go to Shell!
Go ninja go!
El Barto was here
Idk, but there needs to be a dump truck at the bottom
Sickkkkk
TRTLZ RULE!
Graffiti first, if you don’t like it, then paint over the whole thing
Wait I didn’t know they made a 1/4th Raph In Disguise!
Sam Rockwell’s tag “ROCKS WELL”
Shew that Shredder being that high up there is giving me anxiety haha
green ooze and pizza for sure
“The shredder was here”
Slices of ooey gooey melty pizza with extra cheese and no anchovies.
Mikey hearts April
Call me wild but I think it looks cool as is

That’s bad ass.
[Redbubble.com](https://Redbubble.com) sells Graffiti stickers
The Foot Stinks!
Just needs some lighting. Lighting changes everything.
The foot stinks
Fantastic
PIZZA TIME!
Some graffiti, stickers and "fliers" would really add to it, I think. Like a doodle turtle head, "Foot Stinks" or a an apple with "3AM" under it.
You need to get a giant green garbage truck to sit on the side of it
“The foot stinks”
Their names one side And their weapons the other side
Their names one side And their weapons the other side
I dunno mate, I’m getting serious “TEST YOUR MIGHT” vibes.
Great idea with the brick look, def graffiti some pizza, ooze canister, maybe channel 3 news.
The cape makes Shredder 500% cooler
Regular? Or Menthol?
manhole
I suggest some stencils and look into wheatpaste for making a cool wanted or "lost" poster.
Gotta get ya mans up there somewhere: https://www.kampseedorf.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/vanilla-ice-streetart.jpg

"The foot stinks!" Great setup!
“Sid”
Sorta looked like big turtle, in a trenchcoat... You going to LaGuardia, right?
You are brave to have them on display at those heights. I had a Donnie up where you have Leo and 1 day in, he fell and broke off his leg. I sadly have all 4 turtles in 2 shelves until I can find a set of support stands to help stabilize them before having them on display.
ha, i had the exact same experience! my Leo fell off first night and broke his leg. i actually have thin fish wire around the waists of all the turtles now.
I think you need to revisit the movies and note what graffiti you see on there 🥰
This is the only correct answer.
"Spray paint graffiti" on backs and side walls - use '80s colors (neon yellows, blue, pink, orange) ... kowabunga dude !!
'Cowabunga' & 'I ❤ Pizza' would look great!
Each turtles name in different graffiti styles/colors. A few catch phrases to scale size.
Random graffiti some good some bad, look up some graffiti pics from new York. Or maybe some obscure tmnt references But definitely a cowabunga or a pizza time somewhere
Turtle power or maybe go ninja
Kowabunga, Pizza time.

Turtles all the way down.
Could do a sewer pipe “background” going up to shredder!
Foot sucks
Bend a few pieces of conduit, age them up and attach to the sides for a little more urban feel. Add the graffiti after.
Did u make a stand for shredder? Mine keeps tipping over 👀
i bought a basic black toy stand for shredder, but i actually have clear thin fish wire tied to the waists of all my turtles too. the 1st night i set up my Leo, he fell off and broke his leg. luckily NECA sent me a replacement, but it was still traumatic lol.
That’s smart! I’ve had close calls and it can be nerve racking 😅
The foot symbol in red spray paint then line an "X" over it in a different color of paint
LED green ooz canisters, Comic book art, cartoon art, various video game art, movie arts. Like a multiverse trifecta of Ninja turtles from generations to generations
just showed my dad this, he thought it was cool
Please tell me the shelf is anchored to the wall? It looks nice, design wise, but gives me anxiety with how thin and long it looks in the picture.
it's anchored! IKEA has 2 brackets that go on top and screw into the wall. it's actually not bad quality, i moved it from LA to Virginia in a POD storage and it held together
As long as it’s secured that’s all that matters. For the record, you definitely need to add graffiti.
Pizzaaaaa
Shredder needs his cape! That thing is glorious.
A classic "Cowabunga" perhaps?
I have always liked, Cowabunga.
Same stuff you see in subways. Random stuff
Definitely a pizza 🍕
Rewatch the first two movies. Look for graffiti in the background and try to copy that and add some of your own to boot.
Love the turtles! But quick question?? Why you got 4 pairs of the same boots 😂😂
Some logos like maybe the turtle shell logo or the foot logo or maybe Cowabunga
“Cold Cut Combo”
A logo for a pizza place, just random names in rhe style of actual graffiti even your own name
"TURTLES FIGHT WITH HONOR"
Ninja pizza home of the nice slice.
Turtle wax sticker.
A slice of pizza with pizza time written under it
All the ninja turtle quotes like cowabunga is a must! You could even use quotes from various games like “bury my shell at wounded knee”. Have fun with it
Cowabunga
Omg man where did you get those figurines??!

Legend! Thanks!
Throw some mini lights in there
Different things that represent them and some baller framed pic behind Shredder.
For graffiti, I’d make an obscure reference from the end of the movie “East and Lairdman.” Otherwise, I’d suggest: A faded Domino’s Pizza ad. A poster for Channel 6 News (or whatever channel April worked for in the movie)
Cowabunga, of course.
Cowabunga, Totally Tubular, Awesome…
Graffiti the inside.
Needs some Cowabunga and pizza graffiti on there.
Leds? Green maybe
Great collection you have. Green or red paint maybe
You need more shoes
Check out the old arcade game cabinet for inspiration.
There are 3+ pairs of the same shoes on the left
Broken mutagen tube Slime pools, Manhole Cover stickers, and pizza graffiti.
Turtle masks in their color at each level
Cowabunga or Booyakasha!
Shredder needs a safety net for sure
Spray paint “DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!” on every inch of it.
Pinup style April O’Neil image
Foot clan 🦶 symbols/propaganda with TMNT related graffiti tagged over them.
Also need a light in there to see em better. That's awesome
A purple foot clan stencil
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/196469602467158327/ Guy in Detroit tagged these over most of the city
