Shredder is looking to get some new members for the clan and he's putting up the 'I Want You for the Foot' prints up to show that he's serious.

Truth be told, 'I Want You for the Foot' is a poster designed by talented artists Brandon Schaefer and Emily Bawn. The print shows the Ninja Turtles greatest nemesis, Shredder, striking an Uncle Sam pose, only he's not interested in helping the United State of America. Hardcore TMNT fans will recognize that this picture is the 1990 version of the villain with his [metallic helmet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-mxxxxxx) and grilled face mask. This is certainly bringing back some ['90s nostalgia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-tee) when the Ninja Turtles were huge and Shredder was one of the most badass villains at the time.
