Related notes:: Welp, the last quarter of the year blew by pretty, and here we are  ( love it or hate it ) on the big HARD-COPY release day of one of the most talked about movie in the TMNT film pantheon – and even just as far as comic-book films from the past few years.

TMNTMovie-BRAYI’ll try to break down as many of the North American releases as i can as far as basic editions and the exclusive editions that are just do darn popular with the major blockbusters nowadays with the major retailers.

The basic retail versions on the Kmart site i think will represent the same basic offerings and similar pricing structure at other retailers as well as at Kmart. Keep an eye on this post is i learn of any major changes to exclusives offered or any additional exclusives that may be present that i have not listed here yet.  I hope this list will help you narrow down your choices, and pick the best viewing option, price and premium content that’s right for you and your family.  :

This incredibly popular art was made specifically made for B & N and you prolly recognize it from in-store displays promoting TMNT products around the time of the release of the film this past August. The clincher is that i am unclear if this was / IS a Pre-order/online exclusive or if the Poster will be available for pick-up if purchased in-store. I beleive it’s the prior and you had / have to order it on the site. I hope i’m wrong. There is no info on B & N’s website at moment about this. I  will look into this and update accordingly, but any info anyone can share will be appreciated. I presume, soon – we will see these posters at auction from 3rd part sellers on places like ebay. Again i will look into this.

 TMNTMovie-BR-TRUTOYS R’ US is offering TMNT Earbuds along side the masks in their combo-pack exclusives.

Again i’ll keep this list updated as time progresses and i learn of new offers, premiums and exclusives in North America.

Funko-Tintastic

The first 169 episodes (3 volumes) of #TMNT are being released on Blu-ray in Germany! Could be a sign of things to come for North America. For some reason Volumes 1 and 3 use the same images, just in different places.

PRIME :: TORTUES NINJA  porcelain miniature prototypes ii (( 2009 ))

–>> French prototypes from **PRIME, a gift from this past holiday season from a friend. Possibly due to the nature of the items being prototypes, some damage had occurred. Or perhaps with this kind of small item breakage may be common. Not sure.

PRIME :: TORTUES NINJA  porcelain miniature prototypes vi (( 2009 ))

The trinkets arrived with all the figures intact with exception to Shredder, Standing Raph, and the Sword wielding stanced Leo. Repairs and restorations were made to the broken trinkets with paint applications and glazes reapplied to the best of my abilities.

PRIME :: TORTUES NINJA  porcelain miniature prototypes xvi / LEONARDO - B (( 2009 ))

From what i can tell, the prototypes appear to be almost exactly the same miniatures appearing in French stores,online, in bakeries or what have you. The words “PROTO No 1” or “PROTO MOD1”, however appear on the bottom of the figures’ bases except for the standing Raph one which is blank.

These types of minis can be bought separately for collecting , but the traditional usage of these trinkets are as fèves or “BEANS” for King Cakes in celebration of the Epiphany during the Christmas time from countries like Belgium, France, and Mexico and elsewhere leading up to Mardi Gras & Carnival. At least in countries where it is legal to put non-edible items in food.

PRIME :: TORTUES NINJA  porcelain miniature prototypes xxii / DONATELLO - B (( 2009 ))

The Epiphany ( January 6th ) is looked upon as Christ becoming human on Earth and / or the visitation of the Magi or Three Wise Men to the Christ Child. Growing up Catholic, if i recall correctly this was a feast day and “Holy Day of Obligation” and usually one is required to attend church services, acknowledge the holiday and worship.

PRIME :: TORTUES NINJA  porcelain miniature prototypes xxv / SPLINTER (( 2009 ))

PRIME :: TORTUES NINJA  porcelain miniature prototypes xxvi / SPLINTER (( 2009 ))

The ” 12 days of Christmas ” come from the leading days to Epiphany – starting on Christmas Eve and ending on the Epiphany holiday.

***Pulled from a wiki due to my exhaustion ::

.. “Tradition holds that the cake is “to draw the kings” to the Epiphany. A figurine, la fève, which can represent anything from a car to a cartoon character, is hidden in the cake and the person who finds the trinket in their slice becomes king for the day and will have to offer the next cake.

 

Originally, la fève was literally a broad bean (fève), but it was replaced in 1870 by a variety of figurines out of porcelain or—more recently—plastic. These figurines have become popular collectibles and can often be bought separately.

 

Individual bakeries may offer a specialized line of fèves depicting diverse themes from great works of art to classic movie stars and popular cartoon characters.

The cakes are usually sold in special bags, some of which can be used to heat the cake in a microwave without ruining the crispness of the cake. A paper crown is included with the cake to crown the “king” who finds the fève in their piece of cake. To ensure a random distribution of the cake shares, it is traditional for the youngest person to place themselves under the table and name the recipient of the share which is indicated by the person in charge of the service.” .. ..

PRIME :: TORTUES NINJA  porcelain miniature prototypes xxviii / SHREDDER (( 2009 ))

Growing up an ignorant North American, Catholic white-boy, Tokka doesn’t recall Epiphany being as ‘major’ a holiday as Christmas itself ..at least in my family. However we usually were required to go to church on the holy day. I certainly don’t recall “King Cakes” or little bean-beings being pulled from them in celebrations on January 6th.

MiniStPRIME :: TORTUES NINJA  porcelain miniature prototypes xxix / SHREDDER (( 2009 )) However this tradition has been a major device in holiday celebrations overseas and in South America for a VERY long time.

PRIME :: TORTUES NINJA  porcelain miniature prototypes xxx / SHREDDER ..with PLAYMATES '03 SHREDDER (( 2009 )) I am sure some areas in North America may also partake in the breaking of “KING CAKE” to guide the Magi to the Baby Jesus and a special porcelain treasure being found by “THE KING or QUEEN for the DAY” in their special cake.
