Hero here,
Here’s the 2nd in a series of Vision Quest portraits I’ve been working on. Last time I did Donatello, now it’s Forest Mikey’s turn!
Some of the layers in this were actually photographed last October on location at The Forest of Dean. The Forest of Dean is a notable vacation spot here in the UK and also a popular area for movie production – with Star Wars: The Force Awakens being a recent big feather in its cap!
Mikey being still. Raph would approve.
Hero’s back with some tidbits from the land of Blighty!
TMNT Megabloks Blindbags s1 are now surfacing at £2.99 each, and have so far only been found in Smyths stores. There is no idea yet when the first wave of toys will surface yet, but Spring is a good assumption.
On a personal note, I imported in the Baxter’s Laboratory Set from Amazon US. In short I am very impressed with the MegaBloks handling of the TMNT brand so far. It had a reasonably good run with Lego, but now the construction is under new management. I hope merry ol’ England and neighboring Europe does not have to wait too long for TMNT Mega Bloks!
Rob WIlson has reported in with some ASDA figure finds including: Mutant Shredder 2-pack, Mondo Gecko, Savage Mikey and the Casey Slamboni vehicle/figure set.
On the subject of ASDA, their exclusive 2-packs featuring Raph VS Shredder, Mikey VS Rocksteady and Leo VS Bebop have all been reduced from £17 to £12 each. On the flipside, rival store Tesco are offering basic assortment figures at a reduced £7 each. January bargains galore!
With a new episode from Season 4 set to air and lots of positive feedback from the internet fanbase regarding the new MegaBloks this has been a positive weekend for TMNT! May 2016 bring in many more.
Out of the Shadows is only 139 Days away.
Wow, it has been WAY too long since I last posted here. tOkKa, you have been such a trooper keeping this site going, and I thank you sincerely. I’m sure our readers feel the same way. 🙂
Okay, these are straight from Paramount. Enjoy the teasiness!

What if the Turtles were British?! One of the videos covers that very question.
I came across these paper based couple of gems a couple of weeks ago whilst on the search for labels to restore an original Party Wagon release.
Here’s how our versions in Blighty turned out. Printed on UK A4 and A3 paper sizes respectively.
As far as I know (Hero Turtles logo aside) the labels are the same as the US release. We’d love to have feedback to confirm if there are any other differences.
