Another Turtlemania Gold Surfaces!!

Some pretty amazing news in the TMNT comic world as a poster over at the CGC Forums recently just showed off a tremendous lot books he was able to pick up. All the heavy hitters are present: Both Gobbledygooks, #1 first print, #3 NYCC edition, Silver Turtlemania, and the biggie, the rarest of the rare, a Gold Turtlemania. As if the sketch wasn’t cool enough, it’s also #1 out of 10! All books seem to be in immaculate condition and by the tone of his post, it sounds like these books might be going up for sale soon…

Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation gets a release date!

Update: Straight from Brian Ward of Shout! Factory’s Twitter Account: My Question: Will the episodes be uncut/unedited unlike the UK release by Jetix?

Brian’s Answer: Was never under the impression that what I had WASN’T complete.

Cowabunga!!!!
