☠ ☠

** Check GGM’s FACEBOOK, PUBLIC PAGE- ‘0’ FB account needed!!**

–>> Here we go, wrapping up this break-down of the “History- ” set with 1 final installment..

2014’s movie Leo release is Another figure that retains minimal modification, possibly due to it’s more recent release of the carded version. Updated copyright info, the threaded pegholes, and potentially a slightly off-molded head. The changes are so small compared to the carded retail version

I mostly use the “Paramount Movie” tag to distinguish the 2014 movie reboot from the original films. Not that it’s hard to do that. My “tOkKustom” repaint of the standard carded Leo figure was to heighten the details of the Varner sculpt, not necessarily to go for hyper-detailed movie accuracy. It suffices i suppose.

The two noggins on the toy seem slightly different. But i highly suspect a manufacturing issue on that note.

..here’s lotsa Movie Leo figures, for fun.

Were you lucky enough to find this set under your tree last month ??

¡Y OTRO MERCHANDISE MÁS!, JAKKS PACIFIC –

I do not know if one should be satisfied or already tired of each new line Trading coming out of the Ninja Turtles, the fact is that Jakks Pacific, maker of figures 30 or so centimeters high, [they] announced that among its new lines, the figures will [be] Ninja Turtles. No news yet on what version were based [on] … It was not until the next info [at] NEW YORK TOY FAIR.

..bottom line, aside from the Giant KID-SIZED TMNT figures we’ve seen during the Holidays from JAKKS ( Mikey and Leo so far ) – – we may see other scale figs. Jakks has been putting out larger Nintendo, ZELDA, MARIO, STAR WARS, WWE, HALO and the like. There may be another scale offered by Jakks akin to those other franchise lines. We’ll see. NY TOY FAIR is around the corner.

–>> Part 6 of the GGM “History — Leo” set takes back into the future to about 10 years ago. So prolly more accurately a 2006 year imprint should appear on the back of this box. However, the planning for the FAST FORWARD phase of the TMNT 2k3 series prolly started in 2005. This is more Michael Dooney style-guide art printed here – used for earlier on in the 2003 era. But since it’s the same continuity, it does suffice.

Representing another interesting turning point in the 2003 series as the actually, somewhat short-lived, “futuristic” and lighter TMNT: FAST FORWARD line marked the start of a shift in the Toys and animated worlds of the Turtles. All of this was both praised and shunned by many fans of the show. Cut off by the TMNT 2007 film toy line, a whole wave of unreleased characters and fun Turtle variants never made it past TOY FAIR.

Another “alright” reproduction – this one was kind of hard to remove from the base. But it may have just been mine. Small paint apps are missing such as below the knee. Leo’s futuristic katanas were partly made of a translucent blue plastic with a painted metallic handle ( representing the lazer-like, Lightsabre-ish weapons of the show ). Here they are cast in solid silver. The scabbard on his back is completely blue, the original’s scabbard is silver-metallic. While it may just be MY particular figure, it does appear that the head on my repro FF Leo is just a tad off-mold.

As usual, for the set, peg-holes are threaded and copyright info is updated but moved to the lower back of his shell.

The noggin, again on my FF Leo reproduction toy seems just slightly off. Not a big deal, but it just doesn’t look 100 % correct. The forehead particularly seems off-mold.

Just for fun, here’s DARK LEO. The vile alien Shape-shifter, Sh’Okanabo made evil clones of the Teens to help defeat ’em.

Dark Leo is a particularly effective evil counterpart Ninja Turtle, and he makes a really cool evil Toy.

First Look at Painted ThreeZero Kevin Eastman Designed TMNT ::

In the latest issue of Clutter Magazine, they have a look at some upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Figures. These 1/6 scale figures were designed by TMNT creator Kevin Eastman and will be produced by ThreeZero. We’ve previously seen then base sculpts, but the magazine features our first look at the fully painted and articulated figures.

They also have a great interview with both Kevin Eastman and ThreeZero’s Kim Fung Wong about the creation of these newly designed Turtles. In the article, they talk about the future of this line as well. Kevin Eastman mentions he’d specifically like to do a newly designed Casey Jones next, and Kim Fung Wong mentions that they would like to create an entire line well beyond the initial four TMNT figures.

Read on to see the TMNT Figures and you can see the interview Here.

–>> Classic Michael Dooney N.M. style-guide art on the back of the box..

Modifications on this reproduction aren’t too bad. The right foot has been modified to set FLAT on the ground. Possibly again for stability reasons on the display stand. He may stand better than the original release actually. I am fond of the new stance. So his feet are a little “bigger”.

The Dual-Action Katana is recoloured from vintage releases but actually looks really good. The belt strangely has just a silver medallion where an “L” initial used to be on the ’97 release. The “L” imprint is actually still there, but it almost looks painted over by the silver paint. You can barely see it under the metallic.

Like the vintage MOVIE STARS, the N.M. Turtle’s arms, head and legs had softer and rubbery plastics. The only soft part left is the bandanna piece on the back of the noggin.

..Leo’s original sculpt is in the forefront, you can see the “BATTLE STANCE” has been modification on the repro.

..look closely at the Repro’s belt, see the “L” initial ?? Strange.

..for fun, here’s Repro LEO with the Camo-Blitz Cycle ’98 release.
