Playmates "touching-up" previous waves..

  • Got this in from a friend back East; i believe located in Georgia at a TARGET store, thanks Dakota ::   Reissues of figures from prior TMNT waves such as Cockroach Terminator ( shown in the screencap from the friend on Instagram above), Dogpound, Leatherhead, and Snakeweed and maybe others – – have been reported to have newer paint applications and deco that looks much more improved and somewhat similar to their prototype predecessors. Playmates’s scale with the Turtles line has been an ever present issue – – but these newer paint decos on the older releases may make up for the line’s short comings. So again, keep an eye out.

IDW METALHEAD ✖ ✖

Previews are out, books are on the shelves and reviews are popping up so I feel there’s no need to hold this back.
Metalhead’s redesign for IDW’s TMNT! Had fun with this one! As you may see on his debut book (TMNT#34) the speeder/car mode was something that I suggested and writer Tom Waltz and editor Bobby Curnow embraced.

My goal here was to not only give this version of the character a voice and look of its own, but also to pay a homage to the original design. Mission accomplished I believe.

Hope you all enjoy it.

“This 1985 Kevin Eastman pin-up features a huge image of Raphael leaping heedless into battle among a barrage of arrows. It is a very nice image by the TMNTs co-creator and it is from an early date, less than a year after the groundbreaking release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles spawned an entertainment and marketing machine that continues to this very day to churn out everything from blockbuster movies to breakfast cereal and action figures. This quirky little independent issue also changed the way that collectors and investors thought about the hobby of comic book collecting. Art dating from the early years of the run is extremely coveted and high quality examples are in short supply on the open market. This art is signed and dated at the lower right and has an image area of approximately 8″ x 11″. ”

“After Archie Comics canceled the “Mighty Mutanimals” Steve Murphy (aka Dean Clarrain) told me they may return in the TMNT books one day. I was still on the Archie comp list, and one day an issue of TMNT arrived at my door.. I was stunned to see the Mutanimals had returned only to be literally murdered.

I made this sketch and ran it in the fanzine Rowrbrazzle. Somehow, Murphy saw the drawing, and called me to ask if he could run it in the TMNT comic. I said yes.

I liked drawing these characters, and the comics sold very briskly on the newsstands. I was never completely sure why the book got cancelled. ” — Mike Kazaleh;Animator, comic book artist; i.e. Mighty Mutanimals, TMNTA, Ren & Stimpy, ect. –
