–>> Very roughly 8″ scale; Art Asylum’s sculpt of these fully functioning coin banks is darn near dead on T.V. show accurate; paint and all. Each bank is semi-articulated allowing for a limited range of posability on your shelf or wherever the bank is displayed, keep in mind that certain poses may tip the balance of the bank and will not work.
The elbow structure and weapon positions need to be placed to offer support to the bank. You should be able to position the bank in a cool n’ fun pose without it tipping over, you’ll just have to play with the arms and poses ’til you find something that works to your choosing.
Weapons are of a decent, tho in Leo’s katana case — the plastic is a bit flimsy. Each bank needs a small amount of assembly to put the weapons in the Turtle’s hands correctly. Mike’s nunchuckus have a real chain.
One can definitely see this being a fun change savings device for kids but again it is not necessarily a toy. Parents should prolly use some discretion if getting this for their children, especially if the little savers are very young. These are defiantly awesome pieces for the bigger kids & TMNT fans to save their pennies in the tradition of high quality standards of Art Asylum and DST.

“The Ninja Turtles are still raising shell! Twenty-five years after their debut, the TMNT are as popular as ever, and this 8-inch vinyl bank depicts team leader Leonardo in full action mode, wielding a pair of katana swords. Insert coins through the slot in his back! A Diamond Select Toys release. Designed by Art Asylum!”

DIGGER T MESCH (MINIMATES, AGENT 88) and BLOND (BATMAN) will be signing from 4 til 7
All books signed by KEVIN EASTMAN (TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES)
Buy a signed book/Open Bar available after signing!
Written by JOSHUA ORTEGA (Gears of War) from a film treatment by DIGGER T MESCH (Agent 88, Art Asylum), “The Other Dead” is a six-issue miniseries examining what happens when a mysterious infection causes every single member of the animal kingdom to turn into blood-thirsty, ultra-strong zombies and attack an unsuspecting human populace. Interior artist QING PING MUI, master colorist BLOND and cover art from The Mighty KEVIN EASTMAN, co-creator of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” round out “The Other Dead” creative team.
People have been arguing for years whether zombies should walk or run and this September you can add flying, swimming, hopping and slithering to that debate as IDW Publishing unleashes zombie animal hordes in “The Other Dead.”
What’s the premise of “The Other Dead?”
Joshua Ortega: At the highest level, two words: Zombie. Animals. “The Other Dead” is the world’s first zombie animal epic, exploring what happens when the animal kingdom is turned into a horde of flesh-eating monsters.
As far as the story goes, a monstrous hurricane — even worse than Katrina — is about to hit southern Louisiana just as the Vice President is killed during an outbreak of a mysterious infection that’s turning all animals into ravenous, cold-blooded killers.
Into this mix is thrown our eclectic cast of characters: Tommy Romero, a 10-year old cancer survivor who’s struggling with his faith and belief in life; Azrael, Tommy’s older brother and a member of the Norwegian-like death metal band, Decapitated; Justina Abelinda Cortez, Az’s girlfriend who’s an exotic dancer and a Puerto Rican bruja/witch; Chet Wayne, a racist ex-Army Ranger who’s been preparing for the apocalypse for years; and Barack Obama — yes, the actual president of the United States — who ends up in the eye of the storm, dealing not only with the hurricane but the zombie animal outbreak as well.

Come’on ..we know some of ya are out there. GGM recognizes you hard workin’ Turtle Super-FANS matter n’ count just as many as the SUPER-NERDS workin’ for the big SUPER-NERD sites.
“Greetings TMNT fans!! IDW has been publishing the TMNT for nearly 2 full years (can you believe it?) and with every month that passes, the IDW TMNT cover gallery grows larger and larger. As the IDW TMNT database expands, the blog format has really made the usability a bit cumbersome. In other words, it’s become very difficult to find a given TMNT title, issue, TPB, or HC on my blog…especially those TMNT publications from months and months back.
Well, all that is over now. I’m pleased to announce that I’ve organized all the IDW TMNT Publications on my blog into 3 categories: Comic Books, Trade Paperbacks (TPB), and Hardcovers (HC). Within each of those categories you’ll find a list of every IDW TMNT Publication to date, neatly organized by title. Within each title you’ll find the links to every single issue for that title, listed in order of publication date.
All of this newly designed awesomeness can be found on the right side of the menu bar at the top of the blog. The menu is labeled “IDW TMNT Publications.” Just mouse over the menu and watch the magic happen!” –RICH
Here’s Rich’s run-down on the last of the third quarter & the beginning of the 4th on what you may already have or have yet to collect !! ::
“Kevin Eastman (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Heavy Metal) is flying in for the event. This Eastman 88/69 print is one of the first 4 Limited Edition prints Petra Gallerie is proudly launching with. All of them limited to 88, as if you didn’t already know. Signings will run on and off until 1 am.”
**KEVIN EASTMAN @ JETPACK COMICS , FREE COMIC BOOK DAY – There’s a limited amount of FREEBIES at Kevin’s table. That’s right. The NH co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be the guest of honor for this years Rochester, NH Free Comic Book Day Festival. People are flying in from all over the country to meet this superstar. We expect the lines to be long so we are going to have to place limits on how many things you can get signed. If you have more than the limit please feel free to jump back in line and do it all over again. We just want to be fair to everyone that wants to visit Kevin. PLEASE NOTE: Sketches will not be available that day. Too many people and not enough time. Of course there will be a vendor table of great Eastman works that you can get signed at the event hall.
Hey everyone, a couple things came to my attention today, both involving Jetpack Comics in Rochester, NH. For those of you wondering, Jetpack Comics (more specifically, Ralph DiBernardo) has a long and storied history with the TMNT from the beginning.
First, I just received word that Jetpack Comics has signed on to produce Retailer Exclusive covers for at least the next 10 TMNT Color Classics from IDW. They originally signed on for just the Color Classics #1-4 + Raphael. You can see all the current Jetpack TMNT Retailer Exclusive variants by visiting the Jetpack Exclusives section of their site.
Second, Kevin Eastman has agreed to be Jetpack Comic’s guest for Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) 2013 on Saturday, May 4, 2013. In addition, Jetpack intends to get as many of the IDW TMNT clan out there as possible. Stay tuned for more info. about that as FCBD 2013 draws closer.
