Hero here,
Here’s the 2nd in a series of Vision Quest portraits I’ve been working on. Last time I did Donatello, now it’s Forest Mikey’s turn!
Some of the layers in this were actually photographed last October on location at The Forest of Dean. The Forest of Dean is a notable vacation spot here in the UK and also a popular area for movie production – with Star Wars: The Force Awakens being a recent big feather in its cap!
Mikey being still. Raph would approve.

–>> 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 ??

Nacho’s LAS TORTUGAS NINJA ::
FIGURAS TAMAÑO 11 PULGADAS DEL FILM FUERA DE LAS SOMBRAS , T-drome’s DVD gives us another peek at movie 2 toys with the 11″ scale teens, Bebop & Rocksteady. 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.

Hero’s back with some tidbits from the land of Blighty!
TMNT Megabloks Blindbags s1 are now surfacing at £2.99 each, and have so far only been found in Smyths stores. There is no idea yet when the first wave of toys will surface yet, but Spring is a good assumption.
On a personal note, I imported in the Baxter’s Laboratory Set from Amazon US. In short I am very impressed with the MegaBloks handling of the TMNT brand so far. It had a reasonably good run with Lego, but now the construction is under new management. I hope merry ol’ England and neighboring Europe does not have to wait too long for TMNT Mega Bloks!
Rob WIlson has reported in with some ASDA figure finds including: Mutant Shredder 2-pack, Mondo Gecko, Savage Mikey and the Casey Slamboni vehicle/figure set.
On the subject of ASDA, their exclusive 2-packs featuring Raph VS Shredder, Mikey VS Rocksteady and Leo VS Bebop have all been reduced from £17 to £12 each. On the flipside, rival store Tesco are offering basic assortment figures at a reduced £7 each. January bargains galore!
With a new episode from Season 4 set to air and lots of positive feedback from the internet fanbase regarding the new MegaBloks this has been a positive weekend for TMNT! May 2016 bring in many more.
Out of the Shadows is only 139 Days away.
