Your Source For TMNT News, Current Events, and Culture!
Hey guys,
I’m just home for long enough to put this post up and then I’m running out to Golden Apple. I shot lots of video of the Foot tryouts as well, but I don’t have time to upload them right now (over 4 gigs in video), so to tide you over until I have a chance for a full post about the tryout, here are some pictures. Click the pic above to see my photo dump of the event.
Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know that, barring technical difficulties, GoGreenMachine.Org will be streaming the 25th anniversary panel (Friday 4:15-5:15) LIVE from our website. We are still running tests on our gear to see what kind of quality we can get via streaming (We are particularly worried about the sound), but absolute worst case scenario, we will begin uploading the video to our servers IMMEDIATELY afterward (God bless netbooks).
Additionally, We will be live streaming the Special Convention Presentation “Spotlight on Convention Special Guest Kevin Eastman” from 1-2 on Thursday.
Not to mention all the other random photos and videos we will be posting all week long. It all actually starts TOMORROW with our coverage of the Foot Clan tryouts in Los Angeles along with the TMNT25 Los Angeles tour stop at Golden Apple.
So keep an eye on Http://www.GoGreenMachine.Org starting tomorrow and all through SDCC09!
Much Love!
Go Green Machine!
Hooray! Just in time! The shirts that I am handing out at SDCC as gifts have arrived! These shirts feature the GGM mascot robots which were Designed, penciled, and inked by Steve Lavigne. As these are gift versions of the shirt, there is no web address for GGM or any other advert on them. These are the only 11 shirts (Plus the hoodie I had made for MEEEEEE) that will ever be made without the web address, in an attempt to make them feel more exclusive. So…how do you get one? Erm…well…you pretty much don’t. Unless you’ve already been allocated a shirt, your torso won’t be blessed with one of these (Although not everyone who is getting a shirt, KNOWS they are getting one yet! BWAHAHA). Sorry!
However, if you really, REALLY want a shirt (as in you would definitely 100% pay $20 for one if I had more made), then send me an email, and I will put you on a list. Once I have 12 people, I will put in another order. The only difference would be that yours would have the web address somewhere on the shirt as well as the graphic.
So after Dave’s post about the Vac-Metal Fugitoid pre-order and subsequent removal of the listing, I got a little suspicious. I shot an e-mail over to the Playmates TMNT brand manager:
Today one of my writers spotted a Pre-Sale for the Chrome Fugitoid you guys prototyped for Peter. But just as soon as we posted the link, the product was taken down. So I thought I would come directly to you and ask? Are there plans for the release of the Chrome Fugitoid? He is, after all, one of the most anticipated TMNT collector’s figures of all time. The community is buzzing.
And he responded with great news!
We will be releasing this figure on a very limited basis. You will be able to purchase the figure from retailers that purchase from Diamond Comics distributors. Generally smaller specialty shops. I should be able to get you a list of stores in the coming weeks.
So there you have it. The shiny Toid IS scheduled for release (as of now). We will of course, keep you updated.
Very big thanks to all the Playmates folks that have been gracious enough to grant us such unfettered communication! We at GGM, as well as our readers, really appreciate the camaraderie.

My very good friend and co-worker, Jeff Thomas, showed me this today and it dropped my jaw. Jeff is an amazing artist. He and another dear friend of mine, Celeste Green, run a number of webcomics out of their blog. Click the pic to go right to it!
