Playmates "touching-up" previous waves..

  • Got this in from a friend back East; i believe located in Georgia at a TARGET store, thanks Dakota ::   Reissues of figures from prior TMNT waves such as Cockroach Terminator ( shown in the screencap from the friend on Instagram above), Dogpound, Leatherhead, and Snakeweed and maybe others – – have been reported to have newer paint applications and deco that looks much more improved and somewhat similar to their prototype predecessors. Playmates’s scale with the Turtles line has been an ever present issue – – but these newer paint decos on the older releases may make up for the line’s short comings. So again, keep an eye out.

✖ ✖

IDW METALHEAD ✖ ✖

Previews are out, books are on the shelves and reviews are popping up so I feel there’s no need to hold this back.
Metalhead’s redesign for IDW’s TMNT! Had fun with this one! As you may see on his debut book (TMNT#34) the speeder/car mode was something that I suggested and writer Tom Waltz and editor Bobby Curnow embraced.

My goal here was to not only give this version of the character a voice and look of its own, but also to pay a homage to the original design. Mission accomplished I believe.

Hope you all enjoy it.

I was heading out to do some grocery shopping this afternoon when I decided to do a quick check of email on my phone. I was not expecting it, but one of the messages was from the local printer who was handling the printing of TMNT #32. He said the books were all printed, and I could come and pick them up.

Which I did. And here they are.

..

NT Volume 4, #31 can still be seen on this blog at the following URL: **http://peterlairdstmntblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/tmnt-volume-4-31.html

There is a very good chance that #31 will see a physical printing, but it probably won’t be for a few months. .. ..

I think the plan is for Shellback to have exclusive sales for a short time, then the remainder of the copies will go on sale via the ***Mirage website. — PL

Related notes, we’re getting overwhelmed with movie info once again this week due to ..

.. this week’s Cinemacon as it was host to the stars, theater operators and Paramount TMNT ‘s Will Arnett – leading to the reveal of the first trailer of the film*.

Of Note: *Arnet has his lore a little mixed up in the interview linked up – but the character of “VERN FENWICK” in the movie may be an amalgam of Casey’s cousin Syd from the comics and TMNT 2003 show & Vernon from the original cartoon show. Weird. On a nerdy note, technically Vernon was in the comics – the earliest TMNT Adventures books; adaptations of some of the very first few TMNT TOS episodes.

Book Review: Raise Some Shell, by Richard Rosenbaum

Hello Turtle Fans!

With all of the upcoming new TMNT movie chatter, and the popularity of the current Nickelodeon show and the comics, there is a renewed interest in learning more about the franchise and it’s history. There seems to be a number of mini-books popping up ‘analyzing’ tmnt and it’s history. Don’t fill your kindle just yet, though… Continue reading “Book Review: Raise Some Shell, by Richard Rosenbaum”
