“The Boom Bang’s Cover: http://theboombang.bandcamp.com/track/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtlez

With over 4,000 individual pictures, Kyle Roberts and crew wanted to recreate the nostalgic 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon introduction in stop motion. Artist, Nathan Poppe, created over 60 hand-drawn images to establish a bright and vibrant backdrop to complement Roberts’ use of action figures. The original TMNT theme song was covered by Oklahoma native band, The Boom Bang, in their “garage surf punk” style. Each of these pieces can stand alone by themselves, but when infused together they create a radical tribute.

Sponsored by the Toy and Action Figure Museum, curator Kevin Stark designed many of the pieces in the original 1990 TMNT toy line. “

“The sculpts that I posted below are from a custom action figure that a fella named Rick Dries did. These are all photos that he sent me yesterday.
When I saw them, I just about peed myself–
I mean, he nailed it- he really nailed it.
And it’s just done so well- right down to my patented shell texture and the lines that I always use on the ankles- it’s all there. I was giddy like a kid yesterday- still am.
So- with his permission here is the Lawson/Turtle action figure.”
