When: Thursday, July 18th 2PM-3PM

Where: Comic-Con International: San Diego, Room 25ABC

What: Hear what’s now, new and next for our favorite action figures! The panel will offer sneak peeks at future toys and attendees can ask questions of ‘team green’ members who’ve worked on all three incarnations of the Turtles since their debut decades ago.

Exclusive Shredder Action Figure

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. Protected by his vacuum metallized razor-sharp armor and helmet, Shredder stands on his customized sewer lid base looking for revenge. Packed in his one of a kind, four color closed box, this figure is highly collectible with only limited quantities available.

*PLEASE NOTE*

Playmates has confirmed to us that the figure will be available online after the convention:

Hi Stephan,

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

Best,
Amanda

The Walking Dead 100 Project – Kevin Eastman Cover

 

“OK, I know this isn’t TMNT related but I love The Walking Dead and I just had to share this after seeing it.  Kevin Eastman was one of the artists selected to contribute to The Walking Dead 100 Project and below is the cover he did for it.  I just thought it was awesome and thought you might think the same.

Click here to take a look at all 100 artists and their covers for The Walking Dead 100 Project.  Some really cool stuff.

Maybe they’ll do something like this for TMNT #100.”

"RAPHAEL"  pin-up i  .. art by Eastman (( 1985 )) [[ Courtesy of COMICLINK ]]

☠ ☠

*** Available on COMICLINK ***

☠ ☠

“This 1985 Kevin Eastman pin-up features a huge image of Raphael leaping heedless into battle among a barrage of arrows. It is a very nice image by the TMNTs co-creator and it is from an early date, less than a year after the groundbreaking release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles spawned an entertainment and marketing machine that continues to this very day to churn out everything from blockbuster movies to breakfast cereal and action figures. This quirky little independent issue also changed the way that collectors and investors thought about the hobby of comic book collecting. Art dating from the early years of the run is extremely coveted and high quality examples are in short supply on the open market. This art is signed and dated at the lower right and has an image area of approximately 8″ x 11″. ”
