By way of extremely scientific selection (I picked a folded post-it note out of a box) KEN HUNTLEY is the winner of the Return to Jim Lawson contest. Ken wins the complete Return to New York comic arc. This guy must have some crazy luck as I believe he also won a name drawing for a contest of Tokka’s. Go buy a lotto ticket dude! And Congrats!
Rest assured that all your letters will be on their way to Jim shortly!
I’ll not waste your time with flowery prose. Click the picture to see my album of photos of the Sideshow Exclusive Raphael. One thing I will say that I am totally blown away now having seen this thing in person, and am impressed by their choice to make the challenge note sai detachable from the hand; giving this statue 3 possible configurations.
Enjoy the pics.

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO GET YOUR LETTERS TO ME, SO IF YOU HAVE BEEN SLACKING OFF ON THIS…GET’ER DUN!
Ok, first of all…I’m pretty sure Jim doesn’t read this blog…but I know a couple of you Mirage folk do…so you are officially not allowed to say a damn thing to Jim about this! It’s a suprise!
We clear? Good! Moving on!
So in the wake of the release of Tales #70 (Return to New York 1.5), I wanted to do something nice for Jim…but I also wanted to give stuff away for Memorial Day! What is a Machine to do?!?!?!
I’m killing two birds with one stone! That’s what! So here is what is going down. We are giving away the original Return to New York Trilogy along with Jim’s last issue – Tales #70. So you get the complete Return to New York saga for free!
What do you have to do for these? It’s really simple actually. I want you to e-mail me (Stephan@GoGreenMachine.Org). But you aren’t writing a letter to me, you are writing a letter to Jim Lawson. What kind of letter? A thank you letter! We want you to Write us a letter for Jim, Thanking him for his last 20 some odd years of work on the Turtles (and…for whatever else you feel like thanking him for). Then, after we get all the letters, I’m going to print them, bind them, and mail them to him. Neat huh? We think so too! Everyone who writes Jim a letter will be entered in the drawing for the books. Even if you don’t win, we are still shooting to make Jim feel kick ass! If you wanna add a picture or drawing thats fine too. Just attach it to the email!
So lets say….get me your letters byyyyyy….. June 11th? That gives you two whole freakin weeks to write your letter. So I expect to get a lot of them! Seriously. No excuse not to do this! So get to it!
Oh…and if you DO end up reading this Jim…just try to act suprised ok?
With the release of Tales #70 in the coming days, this marks the end of the first 25 year chapter of Mirage. Dan Berger wrote a touching farewell on the Mirage Licensing Homepage, you should go check it out (click the pic).
While we say goodbye to Mirage, let me tell you that the Machines and I will definitely still be here, holding the fort, for the foreseeable future. With Nick/Viacom taking the reigns, somebody has to stay on top of things…and that somebody is certainly going to be us. So don’t lose heart friends. We will always be here for you, as we hope you are always here for us.
