“LAWSON STYLE” Michelangelo custom figure by Rick Dries (( 2012 )) [[ Courtesy of Jim Lawson Illustration ]]

• •

“The sculpts that I posted below are from a custom action figure that a fella named Rick Dries did. These are all photos that he sent me yesterday.
When I saw them, I just about peed myself–
I mean, he nailed it- he really nailed it.
And it’s just done so well- right down to my patented shell texture and the lines that I always use on the ankles- it’s all there. I was giddy like a kid yesterday- still am.
So- with his permission here is the Lawson/Turtle action figure.”

‘THE CATALOG OF PALLADIUM BOOKS 1988-89 Catalog’ (( 1988 ))

** View LARGE On Black **

☠ ☠

–>> .. one of many pieces of promotional material from back in the heyday of Palladium Books & TMNT RPGs.

For load-time’s sake, highlights from this particular booklet are featured in this post ( since many of Tokka’s posts here are rather graphic dependent as it is ).

** The Entire Catalog is Available here for viewing on this t2z – flickr set **

Chalk full of wonderful illustrations clear across the board & images from the now classic RPG books by Mirage Studios Alumni, legends and friends like Jim Lawson, S.R. Bissette, Kevin Long, Palladium founder Kevin Siembieda, and of coarse Eastman & Laird.

Of interest are illustrations from the books do include obvious Mirage staples like Lawson and Steve Bissette; but one contributor to the well established Palladium Illustrative pantheon would be Kevin Long, who goes a tiny bit unsung in TMNT fandom circles.

Kevin is long known as a very popular artist for Palladium in gaming communities on everything from Robotech to RIFTS for a near ten year run.

His explosive drawing & painting work on the TMNT related RPG books like Transdimensional Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Truckin’ Turtles, & Turtles Go Hollywood are of exceptional comic-book quality and really holds up after all these years.

Long deserves a “truck-load” of praise for his exciting illustrations that added extra fun visual element to enjoyment to playing and/or reading the Turtles’ games !! Most of Long’s cool Robotech/Macross work is featured in this catalog.

–>> The publishing date for this Sunday puzzle/strip will have to remain ambiguous for now so i cannot list it chronologically outside of the publishing year.

Tokka has allot of these Sunday strips, but not all of them. Some are hiding from me in the apocalyptic shambles of my collection and need to be recovered still. This one was discovered the other night while i was cleaning out debris from my closet.

This appears to be the most damaged of those old strips and the publishing date has been mostly torn off.

I’m lucky to have what i DO have as this important publishing effort & piece of TMNT history continues to go somewhat unsung.
