Playmates Toys and Nickelodeon will also be debuting a special Comic-Con edition Shredder action figure, which will be on sale in Nickelodeon’s booth – # 4113. Standing at a height of 5.75 inches tall, the 2013 Comic Con Edition Shredder is ready for battle.

Hi Stephan,

A limited number will be made available for a limited time after Comic Con.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Season Three DVD set

Greetings, fellow Machines!

Well, I received an interesting E-mail today…
Apparently the sales of the Old Toon DVD sets were in such major demand back in the several years it took to get Everything released. A lot of seasons were broken up into multiple DVDs, and you eventually had a huge stack of these DVDs that encompass ten years and over a hundred episodes.

Well, Lionsgate decided to go back to the third season and do some revamps. Since there were forty-seven episodes in the single season, they had originally done multiple DVDs with single episodes. Now they’ve gone back and consolidated all 47 episodes into a four DVD season set:

Program Description

Cowabunga! Everybody’s favorite pizza-devouring crime fighting classic turtles are back when Lionsgate Home Entertainment releases Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Season 3 on DVD July 23. This collection brings together for the first time all 47 episodes of the entire third season of the classic ‘80s TV series in a 4-disc DVD set. Tap into radical turtle power and relive all the kung-fu action when Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Season 3 arrives for the suggested retail price of $19.98.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are bursting straight out of the sewer and ready for some mind-blowing mutant-morphing pizza-powered action! Raphael™, Donatello™, Michelangelo™, and Leonardo™ continue their epic quest to battle evil in this Complete Season 3 Collection, featuring 47 out-of-the-shell episodes. Join the green machine and their friends as they help to save the world against Krang™, Shredder™, Bebop™ and Rocksteady™ – one slice at a time.

And it’s a good season… you’ve got episodes like The Old Switcheroo, Enter the Rat King, Four Musketurtles (my personal favorite), Cowabunga Shredhead…

So keep your eyes peeled! I’ll be getting more info as July approaches. 🙂

** Workin Fan’s UPDATE :: Springtime Figures slowly spreadin’ like WEEDS, D.J. Ro-DENT, Megan Fox goes red , Classics Micro LEO **

** ACTUAL "SCALE" NOT SHOWN• •

–>> Spring time means thing slowly start to turn “GREEN” ..on peoples’ lawns and on pegs..and the “WEEDS” are starting to pop up their ugly lil’ heads slowly too – so to “ROUND UP” ::

The famous Pixel Dan gives Snakey HIGH MARKS..

 

So yet again, like a broken record, Tokka’s gonna beg you to exercise patience & WAIT just a tad longer  – cuz as this pattern continuously shows .. the figures that do this rotation post ebay usually head over to the brick n’ mortar stores & online retailers like **Playmates’s Web Shop at much  more reasonable prices than at online auction. Of coarse, it’s up to you .. depending on your situation & how desperate you are. Oi .. !!

“MOUSER” by Scott Williams a.k.a. BAXTER STOCKMAN

New York Comic Con 2012 :: SCOTT WILLIAMS, Mouser & Tokka

☣ ☣

–>> Comic & storyboard artist, stage-actor, voice artist, & professional model maker : Scott Williams.

Scott's "ALIEN".

An illustrator for **Vincent Ferrante’s Witch Hunter comics, double-time work as storyboardist & VA on MTV’s Daria, a tiny bit more of VA highlights in Scott’s repertoire include MTV’s CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH, video games such as Pokémon, & of coarse the 4kids series TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES as the brilliant, grandiose, over-the-top creator of the Mouser Robots BAXTER STOCKMAN.

 

Professor Baxter Stockman ::Season 1 [[ Courtesy 4kids TMNT Blog ]]Scott provided the truest, most FREAKISH elements of Baxter from the original MIRAGE comics & ran with them. Not only proving just how horrible and insane Baxter really could be, but even giving Baxter a humorous backbone that often counter-balanced the darker tone of the whole series, even at times allowing BAXTER to steal the whole show !! No matter just how many times Shredder & the Turtles cut him down to size, LITERALLY .. Dr.Bax always came back more frightening and disturbing than ever before !! By far in Tokka’s top 3 incarnations of the character.

Is Baxter taking any Mouser requests ?? Well if you can stay on the GOOD side of his ego and the price is right – maybe. >;p

H’m .. well how about that. An “actual MOUSER” created by THE ACTUAL “Baxter Stockman” a.k.a. Scott Williams.

** Hypothetical 4kids TMNT DVD s.3 & 4 by L.F. Garcia **

LF Garcia !!

–>> Don’t get your hopes up, but don’t give ’em up. Unlike FUNIMATION , THEY GAVE UP on the 4kids TURTLES hardcopy DVD releases a few years back after **season 2, part two. BOOOOO !! >:O

That didn’t stop ***LF Garcia from being inspired by this conundrum and flexing his design muscles.

His custom “hypothetical” DVD covers for the never officially released ( well at least not yet, time will tell ) Seasons 3 & 4 of the show are actually really cool !!
