TMNT 25 – BACK to the SEWER
–>> Being evil and a major, un-official, international ambassador of the Foot Clan makes me rather bitter and offers very few caveats. Except for the occasional nunchuck to the ribs and three-toed boot to the head.
But even Tokka has to give a big THANK YOU to Michelangelo, Aaron, Mike ,Tim, Rob , Peppercom and the crew at TMNT 25 .
In the year from Turtle hell and despite the recession & adversity , Mikey and the gang really went out of their way .. above – AND BEYOND the call of Turtle duty to give us a Ninja Turtle Shell-A-Bration !!
Here we all could get together no matter what ..celebrate and enjoy the powerful, one-of-a kind, pop-culture phenom : TMNT !!
This was a mass TMNT multi-media event unlike any other !!
Let’s give it up for Mikey and the TMNT 25 crew and send out ♥ and thanks for an unforgettable Bushido Birthday Bash !!
TURTLE “POW” – er !!

The Go Ho Ho Green Machine Holiday Contest!
This year, The GoGreenMachine.Org team is celebrating our first Christmas together! And we want to get you all in on the celebrating. Now, in the spirit of giving, we wanted to give something away that is truely special to a fan! So we came up with this little contest.
It wouldn’t be a GoGreenMachine contest without writing something! So this time around we would like you to tell us a TMNT Holiday story! It can be about anything so long as it is Holiday and Turtle related. It can be a memory from your own childhood, or a story about the turtles during the holidays that you wrote. Whatever! Have fun with it! As usual, entries should be about a page or so long, since we DO read them all.
All enteries MUST be in our inbox by midnight (Pacific Standard Time) on Christmas day!
As with all our contests, the winner will be chosen at random, so don’t worry about your writing skills. Just try your best!
The winner will recieve this:
A 1992 Playmates My First Raph
Most of you know that the My First Raph is one of the rarest Playmates TMNT toys out there. While this one is in “loved” condition, he is perfect for all of you collectors who aren’t concerned with toys being “MIB”. I did, at one time, patch a pinhole in one of his toes…so while he PROBABLY would still hold water…I wouldn’t recommend it. This is the perfect way to add this sought after toy to your collection for only the cost of writing us a little story.
By entering this contest, you allow us to post your story on GoGreenMachine.Org (cause we probably will). As always, GoGreenMachine.Org staff members are NOT eligibe to win.
Please submit all entries to Stephan@GoGreenMachine.Org
Good Luck! And Happy Holidays from our family to yours!
Go Green Machine!

1) Please tell us a little about yourself.
I’ll leave personal details about myself out as I doubt anyone would want to read that. I wouldn’t want to. LOL. I will say that I am female but I think that’s obvious from my screen name. 😛 It’s all about collecting for me! My main reason for internet service is for the purpose of expanding my collections. Now that I think about it I buy things almost on a daily basis… does that make me a shopaholic? 😮 Besides collecting I enjoy video games, drawing/sculpting, reading comics, toy customizing, the usual cool stuff. 😀
2) How long have you been collecting TMNT and what prompted you to start?I’ve been collecting TMNT since the line’s debut in 1988. I was introduced to the Turtles like many fans through the original toon. It didn’t take long for me to discover the original comics and I’ve been hooked ever since.
3) What specifically do you collect (toys, comics, etc.) and how large is your collection?
My main priority is action figures. I will also buy anything that catches my eye. I also enjoy comics, plush and trading cards. To this day I haven’t finished writing down everything I own, if that is any indication to you. I finally started reorganizing my collection earlier this year. I’ve been buying 22 gallon storage containers as I find them. So far I have filled 38 of them. This only includes smaller carded items, most of my loose figures and some plush. All my large boxed items, video games, comics and things I access frequently are not included. I am nowhere near finished. Sometimes I find myself buying something I already had because I can’t remember if I already bought it before…
4) What is your favorite piece in your collection and why?
It’s too difficult to choose just one item. I am very fond of a particular plush Leo I received for my 10th bday but that thing is so worn out from my childhood days of play only I would assign value to it. I adore my Japanese items especially the UFO plushies. Many of my Turtle sets such as Mutant Masters, Movie Star, Mini Mutants, etc. mainly for the cool factor they have. I also love all my original variations. It took so many years to acquire all those softhead variants. Some of my bootleg Turtles and the large plush Playmates Turtles are very special to me.
5) How do you store/display your collection at home?
Used to use cardboard boxes. Now I use plastic storage containers.
6) What are your top five most wanted TMNT collectibles?
At the moment, I am searching for the very last plush I need to complete my TMNT Japanese UFO sets. Only one more! There’s a few more figures I want for display purposes. Usually I am just missing one or two from a particular set. There’s not much else I am that eager to acquire at the moment. I suppose acquiring a real Ninja Turtle *cough* Leonardo *cough* would be #1 on my list. But hey lets be honest that item is on everyone’s list.
