The Official Turtle Power Documentary: A Definitive History of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

If there is a DVD to look forward to this summer, it has to be Turtle Power: A Definitive History of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The project started in 2009, beginning with a few interviews, but then it grew and blossomed into an amazing archive of everything turtle-centric imaginable. From the early beginnings of the comics, to the big screen, little screen, and everything in between. The crew traveled back and forth across the country, meeting with comic artists, actors, illustrators, producers, writers, fans, collectors, and anyone else they could get their camera on.

The result was hundreds of hours of interviews and commentary on the entire history and future of the franchise, from Eastman and Laird, to Viacom and Paramount’s upcoming movie.

From what I can tell, there is NO correlation between this and the book that is coming out in a month or two. But both items would be a fantastic addition to your collection.

The video will be available August 12th, so check out the Trailer, visit their website and like them on facebook.

–>> Mike J. has pointed out some interesting imagery of posters & teasers from COSMICBOOK ::

MIKE JOHNSON’s cool TMNT Movie/ X-GAMES poster
Here’s what appears to be a smaller TMNT Movie promo poster. More on this as i found out the details.
An instagram user spotted some “street art” style posters or at least some very artistically styled teasers around LA; including an intruiguing SHREDDER poster.
AFI :: “New Playmates TMNT Movie Figure Reveals” ; The new toy pack-in catalog brochure of the MOVIE toy line ( as you know; Playmates puts lots of these little brochures in their figure packs ) is included in this article; the new toys are also reportedly hitting store shelves EARLY – as i type this and days prior. “CONVENIENTLY” ( yeh – sarcasm ) the PARTICULAR store and area where the toys were located at are NOT disclosed in the piece; so keep your eyes peeled EVERYWHERE,kids.

Got this in from a friend back East; i believe located in Georgia at a TARGET store, thanks Dakota :: Reissues of figures from prior TMNT waves such as Cockroach Terminator ( shown in the screencap from the friend on Instagram above), Dogpound, Leatherhead, and Snakeweed and maybe others – – have been reported to have newer paint applications and deco that looks much more improved and somewhat similar to their prototype predecessors. Playmates’s scale with the Turtles line has been an ever present issue – – but these newer paint decos on the older releases may make up for the line’s short comings. So again, keep an eye out.

IDW METALHEAD ✖ ✖

Previews are out, books are on the shelves and reviews are popping up so I feel there’s no need to hold this back.
Metalhead’s redesign for IDW’s TMNT! Had fun with this one! As you may see on his debut book (TMNT#34) the speeder/car mode was something that I suggested and writer Tom Waltz and editor Bobby Curnow embraced.

My goal here was to not only give this version of the character a voice and look of its own, but also to pay a homage to the original design. Mission accomplished I believe.

Hope you all enjoy it.
