–>> Some grubby ebay diggings show some grubby ebay listings for Metalhead, Fishface, and Dogpound in package, with slight paint variations than the prototypes shown earlier this year.

So let the manic ebay bidding begin, or the more sensible penny-pinching ..cuz if you wait just a week to 3 .. these guys will start showing up on pegs in brick and mortar or in more abundance online at more sensible prices. The choice, of coarse is yours.

“COWABUNGA, Ol’ CHAP !! “

Almost everyone knows by now the edits made by U.K. censors in the early 1990s to TMNT animation,movies, and related product lines. “HERO” Turtles was wildly successful none-the-less in spite of edits eliminating most of Michelangelo’s nunchuku skills and scenes & the word ‘ninja’ itself nearly altogether. This did create a bunch of uniquely labeled U.K. TMHT memorabilia – but still the edits went down in Turtle history as something infamous.

Across the Seas, GGM’s pal “HERO” chimes in with this with his recent viewing of the new NICK TMNT show in England ::

“Nick UK have edited out Mikey’s Kasurigama from the new show here. Crazy stuff.”

..interesting little bit, i guess what goes around comes around and in this case the censors return to the TMNT with a little vengeance.

Heh, just like old times !!

Fresh from the Future;Tokka meets TMNT: FF’s CODY JONES; CLAY ADAMS

• •

–>> Comic-conventions are the biggest strain on Tokka in any given year as preparation for port-reviews, interviews and networking are months in the making & so anxiety filled.

The actual event is mostly a mad-dash around a very large area chasing down potential work opportunities & important faces looking for talent. It’s not all business and frustration, and forever reason – there are always many surprises for Tokka each and every year like this. ::

While taking the motions that will help shape and determine Tokka’s future; someone from the future came and visited the past this past summer on one of Tokka’s interviews.

More precisely.. be it time-travel, coincidence, or fate :: one of Tokka’s interviews was with 4kids TMNT: FAST FORWARD & BACK TO THE SEWER’s CODY JONES,April & Casey’s greatest grandchild !! A.k.a. actor,V.A. & comic writer **Clay Adams !! !!

He was also the gritty vocal talent for Mirage Donatello of the PRIME TURTLES in the insanely popular TMNT Swan-Song; TURTLES FOREVER !!

Tokka’s composure & spine during the interview; rest assured was as upright as gooey, radioactive-ooze.

Scrambling for something to be autographed, Clay signed a 4kids style TMNT school folder i’ve yet to post.

He also signed a copy of Tales of the TMNT v.2 #59 i had on hand. Split-second reasoning : 1) it’s a Mirage Book, and he was the only official voice for Mirage Donatello & 2) Tristan Jones. This being one of Tristan’s masterworks for Mirage – at that time on the side he was working on the U.K. TMNT Magazine with Andres Ponce creating TMNT:F.F. comics for the mag. Just made sense in lieu of the connection.

While very cute, the little plug-in figurine may not the most durable item for your phone ..

..so a little buyer beware if you pay the upwards of 15 bucks for the little charms, take care of it as you would you’re portable device. Use a little common sense. For example the figure could move around and fall off if it’s in your pocket or purse. You could loose it so you may want to remove it from the phone and put it some place safe.

These plugies fit into any electronic device with a standard earphone jack.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: PANDA KHAN / SCRAMBLED VARIANT (( 1990 ))

• •

–>> A properly packaged Panda Khan is presented here ..

• •

☣ ☣

and here we have a P.K. “SCRAMBLED VARIANT”. Not a “REAL” variant, but an unusual case of scrambled parts in a MOC package.

Li Yang’s broken appendages appear all over the insides of this plastic bubble either courtesy of Krang’s pan-dimensional brain scrambler device or one of Lord Shibo’s evil body-part mash-up spells.

This was received courtesy of P.K.’s courtesy of Li’s co-creator; Monica Sharp.

And it would appear the real culprit of this “variant” is poor assemblage. After Li left the factory – stress and settling during shipping just sent him all to pieces.

This really breaks Tokka’s heart so i’ve set to repair him.

Plus it gives us a brief glimpse at the inner workings of the construct of a vintage TMNT figure.
