Nickelodeon TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: COCKROACH TERMINATOR ..card insert (( 2013 ))

..minor variation on the newer card insert, including instructions on attaching the “antenna” piece into Roach’s head. This insert is from the original release. The browner tones on the body and carapace seem a little darker as well. His one “Good eye” seems to be painted in a lighter black. The cylindrical metal component on his shell on this re-issue has NOT been painted silver as on the original release for some reason. I suppose you could always paint it yourself.

Nickelodeon TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES :: COCKROACH TERMINATOR V.2 iv (( 2014 ))These paint touch-ups really make Roach look a little better. I’m trying to break it down here for ya best i can to help  you decide; if you think it’s worth a re-purchase of the guy for the new colouring. or just to have a variant MOC to save.

Not a perfect toy, but i am fond of the little guy.. and while scale issues plague so much of this line, C.T. here is really not one of them effected. He pretty much is to scale of the Teen figures like he was on the show last season.

–>> MOVIE OVER MICHAEL BAY ; HERE COMES MARK MARTIN !! !!

..in fact Bay better run for the hills from this one !! !!

The city has gone “BATTY” and all the impressionability impressionable youth have been swept away in the evil crime wave of the unscrupulous BAT CLAN’s BAT-MANIA. The Dark Knightdentious and phenomenon of the “BAT GUY” is secretly influenced by the salad loving Oroku Soggy, now known as THE SHOOTER.

In the only AUTHORIZED parody of the iconic original TMNT Film, T.V. News reporter April MayJune discovers the completely UNauthorized Sushi Arranging Rodent Master parody; MATCH STICK and his former ‘HARD-EDGED’, kick-butt gritty Comic-book Turtle sell-outs :: THE GREEN-GREY SPONGE-SUIT SUSHI TURTLES!!

These now cuddly, cereal-mascot, mutant has-beens are ::

Velveeduh :: Unofficial leader of the squishy bunch, master of fishing line & expert pocket-fisher.

Toyoduh :: The groups’ Über-nerd teen and egghead is an expert with yarn powered DUDE•L •LOOM.

Viceroy :: The ‘cocky wiseacre’ of the group and happy-go-lucky safety patrol mutant is a hand expert with all things that go ON & OFF with the famous electronic accessory known as the “CLAPSTER”.

And finally there’s the whiny Pierrier :: This brooding LOUD-MOUTH is a Mr.Master with the MASTER MICROPHONE.

When the Turtles’ SECRET UNDERGROUND PAD ™ underneath the Popeel TV MARKETING DEVELOPMENT LABS is Überley decimated .. a wake-up call from the crime fighting, tiki-mask wearing Kootie Jones ( who fights crime with real kooties & harkens back to a day of the grittier Turtles that weren’t all soft n’ squishy – a void filled by the notorious BAT GUY fandom ) and a not-so mystical cardboard cutout of Match Stick ..may be just what they need. Just what they need to get back in shape to the Bad-guy BAT-BUTT kicking comic-book BAD ASSES they used to be before they all got fat n’ soft on official GGSSST branded cereal !! !!

Will the Sushi Turtles & Match Stick be able to save the city and her youth from the twisted Bat-Empire of the Shooter and his “Festering” lackey; Master Shih Tzu ?? Or will Shooter take over the city like an IRON CHEFand transform it into sneeze-guarded salad bar of the world ruling with an IRON SALAD TONG ?? Will April MayJune & Kootie conquer each other’s egos and a let love conquer all ??

FIND OUT; NEXT WEEK !!

SAME BAT TIME !!

SAME BAT CHANNEL – –

— er just pick up this insane masterpiece of a book – – that has to be read to be believed ( if you CAN BELIEVE IT ) and coming from the one & only mad genius that is MARK MARTIN !! !!

If you had not heard, **I’m immensely sad to relay the passing of James Avery via CNN ::

— Actor James Avery, who played the beloved Uncle Phil on the hit 1990s sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” has died, his publicist said Wednesday. He was 68.

The cause of death was complications from open-heart surgery, said his manager, Toni Benson. Avery had surgery on November 11 and died Tuesday evening at a hospital in Glendale, California, according to Benson.

“Fresh Prince” co-star Joseph Marcell, who played the family butler Geoffrey, told CNN that Avery was “a marvelous man and a truly wonderful actor.”

Avery played Philip Banks, the stern but loving uncle to Will Smith’s character on the show.

“He strove to present an Uncle Phil that everybody wishes was their uncle,” Marcell said.

Avery believed the show was important because the “striving of the African-American ought to have been shown on television,” Marcell said. “What he has done for television, for African-Americans on television is unsurpassable.”

“Fresh Prince” co-star Alfonso Ribeiro tweeted news of Avery’s passing.
James Avery is best known for \
James Avery is best known for “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”

“I’m deeply saddened to say that James Avery has passed away,” Ribeiro wrote. “He was a second father to me. I will miss him greatly.

Jada Pinkett Smith, wife of Will Smith, posted the couple’s condolences Wednesday on her verified Facebook page.

“Our condolences to aunt Florence (his mother), Miss Barbara (his wife) and all those who loved him,” Pinkett Smith wrote.

A classically trained actor and poet, Avery grew up in Atlantic City, New Jersey, where he was raised by a single mother. He served in the Navy during the Vietnam War and first appeared onscreen as a dancer in an uncredited role in the 1980 film “The Blues Brothers.”
..

A biography provided by his manager said that after he served in the military, Avery moved to San Diego, California, where he began writing TV scripts and poetry for PBS. Before joining the military, he once said, he had dreams of being like Richard Wright and living in Paris. But life took a different turn.

“I knew I loved the arts,” Avery said in an interview for the show “Unscripted.” “I knew I wanted to be a writer, but the theater was something I had been involved in before.”

Avery appeared in multiple TV shows and movies, including “CSI,” “That ’70s Show,” “The Closer” and several appearances as a judge on “L.A. Law.”

Indeed, with his deep, mellifluous voice, he frequently played judges, professors and doctors — Uncle Phil began as a lawyer and eventually became a judge — and was much in demand as a voice actor. His voice roles included Shredder in the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” series and James “Rhodey” Rhodes in the 1990s animated series version of “Iron Man.”

He most recently appeared in Zach Braff’s new film, “Wish I Was Here,” which will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival later this month.

But his most famous role was on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” which aired from 1990 to 1996.

The show, co-executive produced by Quincy Jones and created by Andy Borowitz and Susan Borowitz, cast Smith — then best known as a rapper — as a Philadelphia teenager who is sent to live with his wealthy Los Angeles relatives. As Banks, a former civil rights activist and Harvard Law-trained attorney, Avery provided a role model for Smith’s sometimes wild character.

Avery, too, leveled with youthful audiences, noting in “Unscripted” that he left home at 18 because “I had too good a time.”

In a 2007 interview with the New York Film Academy, he was forthright about his abilities.

“You can either be a movie star or an actor. I’m an actor,” Avery said. “(But) I’ve done pretty good.”

He is survived by his wife of 26 years, Barbara Avery; his mother, Florence Avery of Atlantic City; and a stepson, Kevin Waters…

NEWTRALIZER :: TRUELY The Meeting of 2 Creative Minds

"NEWTRALIZER" simple modified vec.gif

–>> NEWTRALZER introduced late in the first season  of the Nick TMNT has been gaining much fan attention as of the past few months. **Animation information from NICK only graze the surface of a little more complex situation in bringing this character to the screen.

The Original "NEWTRALIZER" .. rejected TMNT Figure design by RYAN BROWN (( 1990 )) [[ Courtesy of R B ]]

** View LARGE On Black **

☠ ☠

As you may or may not know  THE ORIGINAL NEWTRALIZER was a rejected 1990 TMNT toy concept PLAYMATES threw back at Mirage’s Main-ZANY MAN ; RYAN BROWN. Here’s Ryan’s original character premise for the RUDE-NEWT ::

“Amphibious ally of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Newtralizer is judge, jury, and executioner for any criminal that crosses his path.
Unable to undergo regeneration due to a messed-up mutation process, Donatello has fitted him with robotic limbs.
With these new, artificial appendages and an arsenal of wacky weapons, this salamandroid sheriff fights a never-ending battle against the criminal Krang Korporation of Dimension X and helps to serve and protect the turtle’s sewer home!

.. .. Playmates would show up at the studio they usually brought along a list of popular characters and concepts that they wanted to exploit as TMNT figures.
“Judge Dredd type character” was on the list. Newtralizer was my response.

 

— ** Ryan Brown

It could be argued that Nick’s Newt is an entirely separate character. This rejected design concept would later be remixed, re-imagined, and reintroduced with elements based off Ciro Nieli’s iluustrations from when he was younger, drawing very similar character ideas when he was a kid. Nick’s TMNT animation crew had at it. NEWTRALIZER appears for the first time as a Kraang eating threat & slightly enigmatic enforcer as you see in Donatello’s big JAIL BREAK as he and the Teens rescue April’s Dad from the KRAANG’S big underground prison.

As you also prolly know, FINALLY ..very soon, Newty is getting his own toy. So This isn’t a about just some character that popped up out of nowhere or because it was a rehash of a throw-away character or what have you.

No, Newtralizer is a very SPECIAL character and the the combination & amalgamation of creative forces & ideas lead by the imaginations of two very important people within’ the TMNT-pantheon. Not just a rejected idea or some school boy’s school day scribblings. He’s a special idea and character that’s been in the making for well over 20 years by two very mutually creative minds who as it turns out, those individual artists are very fond & respectful of eachother’s work.

Cool, huh !!
