New York Comic Con 2012 :: RON ENGLISH , TOKKA, & M. Ivey

“This summer some of the news that was released was the new designer Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Merchandise line coming out. With watches, shoes, and shirts are some of the things we’ll be seeing for TMNT. This is bringing out new styles of art that we have yet to see on the official side of store sales. One of the artist who did some of these pieces is Ron English. At San Diego Comic Con International a lot of us fans saw some of Ron’s artwork get released to the public on shirts, which was a promotion for the Ninja Turtle watches that he designed. At New York City Comic Con we were able to catch up with Ron to ask him about .. ..

A good friend and fellow Ninja Turtle fan Tokka, joins me as the co-host in this interview. Tokka is a fan of Ron English, so he knew a lot of areas that I did not know about with Ron’s work. It was great to have Tokka on the show. A lot of fans may know him for his posts on Go Green Machine, Twitter, Facebook and so many other places on the internet. Tokka is an artist, who was even published by Mirage as one of the pin up pages in Tales of TMNT Volume 2.

Tokka and I talk to Ron about his history in art, how he originally learned of Ninja Turtles, and how he is now involved in the future of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We also talk a bit on how the fans of the Classic TMNT are reacting to this new swing with the Turtles.”

–>> In case ya missed it, watch Tokka play the FOOL as one of the most distracted Ninja Turtle zombies in history.

The RON x FLÜD collab- releases parallel this years FILA/TMNT releases.  Ron also hints at his future with Nick, FLÜD, and the Turtles & soon-to-be released TMNT work in follow ups to the now infamous LEONARDO as MONA LISA piece ( made available as am exclusive poster at SDCC ’12 ). Hurry before Tokka collapses into a useless puddle of undead, toxic goo and gets toxic Mutagenic fluids all all over your fancy watch there.

Movie News: All four turtles casted!

Hey all!

Well, we’ve just gotten ourselves an update today, courtesy of JoBlo:

Last week, the first of the four NINJA TURTLES in the Michael Bay-produced reboot was cast, bringing in former Aquaman Alan Ritchson for the role of Raphael.  Now, the other three turtles have filled their shells, with Pete Ploszek (Parks and Recreation) playing the leader, Leonardo, Jeremy Howard (Breaking Bad) taking on the bo-staff wielding Donatello, and Noel Fisher (BATTLE: LOS ANGELES) portraying the wise-cracking Michelangelo. All of the actors are new on the scene, which was probably a big consideration when the studio addressed the budgetary issues a while back, causing the film to be delayed. It makes perfect sense, really, especially when the actors will be virtually unrecognizeable as themselves anyway. 


(Picture belongs to the JoBlo Network, with much appreciation! Now let’s see how long it takes for TMNT fans to start Turtlizing these guys’ faces…)

According to the article, the movie is slated to come out in June 6, 2014. Now we just have tto wait and find out about Splinter, Shredder, and possibly Casey Jones…

Enjoy!

–>> As TURTLE fans know, crazy Alien epidemics have been all the rage for Don and the rest of the teens since near DAY 1.. so the media’s just gonna need to realize it’s nothin’ new.

DOLLAR TREE’s “ALIEN ACTION FIGURES” aren’t necessarily the answer to Steve Murphy’s mysterious and freaky “SONS OF SILENCE” from the good ol’ TMNTA of the ’90s..

..however, if ya let Tokka “PROBE” your brain for just a little bit – maybe he can help you come up with an oddball play option for your collection that comes kinda close. Well maybe – maybe not.

One part creepy, one part crappy, maybe a little cute, maybe a little ugly, but absolutely cheap !!

DOLLAR TREE :: "ALIEN" ACTION FIGURE; Green & Tan viii (( 2012 ))DOLLAR TREE :: "ALIEN" ACTION FIGURE; Green & Tan ix (( 2012 ))

Available for a little over a year now at Dollar Tree stores, and apparently still available at some of them .. these big-eye, big-head..but-ugly buggers with the somewhat menacing looking blasters & unused battery compartments are only articulated at the neck and arms. But again for a buck ..these bugs are super affordable

Far as i can tell, only 2 variants of the same mold exist; green and tan. However, in similar packaging & slimmer scale are two-packs of “Ninja Aliens” using similar generic male body molds for Dollar Tree’s Power Ranger & Wrestling toy knock-offs but with Spider-man like heads.

"NINJA" ALIEN ACTION FIGURES

If ya got a penchant like Tokka does for all things weird & bootleg-like these guts may be up you’re alley. Whadda ya got to loose for only a buck ??!
