This here fuzzy dude is Panda Khan.
TMNT Week continues with the Turtle ally with a Samurai theme and a soft, cuddly, lovable mug.
"Who you callin' cuddly?!?!"
His name is Panda Khan. Like Kubla Khan, or Ghengis Khan, or Kobra Khan, or Shaka Khan, or Ricardo Montalban aka Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!
This Panda does not look very friendly.
ReplyDeleteCelebrities? I'm excited. :)
I think these are the most beautiful pictures of panda khan ever taken.
ReplyDeleteHe does look rather grouchy, doesn't he Leon!
ReplyDeleteThanks thesurfingpizza! Although I can't imagine there are a lot of photographs if Panda Khan out there to begin with!
Is there a back story to Panda Kahn? For some reason he seems the most bizarre, despite all the other weird guys you showed us this week.
