Etsy seller ‘ChristopherGenovese’ creates these powerfully ugly Ninja Turtle villain belt buckles. This slimy accessory features the ever villainous Krang sporting an evil grin as he plays around with joysticks (as if he were steering the wearer of this buckle).
This detailed (albeit monstrous) belt buckle would make a great gift for fans of this heroic mutant cartoon series. Krang is surrounded by a yellow frame so this is not by any means a small buckle. Consumers who walk down the street wearing this will belt accessory will likely get some peculiar looks thrown their way.
This veiny villainous belt buckle is a great conversation starter. Fans of the show will likely give you nods of approval, while everyone else will be left asking “What the hell is that?”
