TMNT Movie finally released in the UK

My fellow Britons, the wait is over! The movie we should have seen last summer is finally in theaters!! (aside from Previews on 11th-12th).

Whether anyone agrees with the ‘questionable’ release schedule or not, or think how good/bad the movie is – Let’s hope this does well at least.

Bath-Time TMNT by Tesco

New TMNT bathtime items have surfaced in the UK.

The first is a series of ‘bathbombs’ that contain a mystery head and shoulders mini figure, the second is as a Leonardo ‘3D model’ bath gift containing bubble bath.

The Leonardo ‘3D Model’ priced at £7 (approx.$11 USD) is good quality and worth keeping beyond its use as a bubble bath container. It also appears to be a Tesco exclusive.

Having tried the bath bombs with my baby son, I can confirm that they turn the water bright ‘ooze’ green, but the figure is nothing special and poor quality. Definitely worth buying for its sole purpose alone and for the color change gimmick.

The bath bombs are produced by Kokomo Studios who previously produced its own bubblebath in the shape of a Kraang Ooze vail.

These products can also be purchased here

The TMNT brand is continuing to make bath time more fun. Hopefully someone in the think tank will devise a katana-themed back scrubber!

Nickelodeon Mikey Christmas Ornament 2014

Acquired today from a May pre-order with Hooked on Hallamark .

Aside from being a usual dangling tree figurine, this battle-ready Mikey can also pose as a shelf model. As shown in the photos, ornament Mikey is kept company by some of my Christmas edition MOUSERs.

Not sure what those are? Keep an eye out for future blog-posts regarding this reformed festive army.

Grandreams ‘Hero Turtles’ colouring books

Published by Grandreams between 1990-92 – the UK had a range of ‘Hero’ Turtles coloring books, poster sets and activity books. These were mostly sold in Newsagents and Sweet Shops.

The color-in imagery used within these various stationary books was artwork based on the TV show. A lot of images were the Turtles and Splinter fighting off Mousers and Foot Soldiers. And like with the current censorship, there was not a nunchuck in sight.

No idea who the artist behind these was, but the random pictures were all very well drawn and stood out at the time. Being a coloring book, the images were easy to trace and make customized pictures from. As a kid I never really coloured in any of these and enjoyed copying through on white paper with the help of a desk lamp. The coloring books also had a nice crisp colorless image of the logo to trace around to use. An improvised method to use as I didn’t have a computer or the world wide web back then.
