Of coarse i’s post this, ya know yir ol’ Snapper pal all to well!!
STRAIGHT OUTTA WONDERCON’s Official TMNT Panel yesterday !! !!
“In episode 13, called “Ever Burning Fire,” fans will meet two new characters.
The first is Chompy Picasso, a cute little alien turtle that becomes Raphael’s new pet, replacing the former Spike.
The second will be familiar to fans of the live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze – Tokka! Only, “This version of Tokka is a little bit different,” Auman said. He’s a giant, magma rock kaiju monster that breaths fire. In the main storyline, this Tokka safeguards the third and final fragment of the black hole generator!”
–>> Gonna go ahead and drop this during your TMNT II: THE SECRET OF THE OOZE 25th anniversary week – – featuring the Tokka that started it all for your ol’ Snapper pal here ;” THE MOST ‘HATED’ Turtle ARTIST IN COMICS “ !!
TMNT-Ninjaturetles Blog ; More Spring-Time IDW Comic Schedule from the Rocky Mountain’s Turtle Comic Connisuer , RICH. With this post – we reintroduce Rich’s updates into the regular aggregation queue !! ::
x16 2 x 4″ cards, each magnet almost 2″. 4 designs. 1 TEACHER CARD design .. the magnets are lightly glued to each card, strong enough to stay on the card thru’ handling. But once removed – they are ready to stick to a fridge. locker door or other metal surface. I believe these were Walmart exclusive, that may be incorrect. But you love me anyways, right ??
–>> Here we go, wrapping up this break-down of the “History- ” set with 1 final installment..
2014’s movie Leo release is Another figure that retains minimal modification, possibly due to it’s more recent release of the carded version. Updated copyright info, the threaded pegholes, and potentially a slightly off-molded head. The changes are so small compared to the carded retail version
I mostly use the “Paramount Movie” tag to distinguish the 2014 movie reboot from the original films. Not that it’s hard to do that. My “tOkKustom” repaint of the standard carded Leo figure was to heighten the details of the Varner sculpt, not necessarily to go for hyper-detailed movie accuracy. It suffices i suppose.
The two noggins on the toy seem slightly different. But i highly suspect a manufacturing issue on that note.
..here’s lotsa Movie Leo figures, for fun.
Were you lucky enough to find this set under your tree last month ??
I do not knowifone shouldbe satisfiedoralreadytired ofeach new line Tradingcoming out of theNinjaTurtles,thefact is thatJakksPacific, maker offigures30 or socentimetershigh, [they] announcedthat amongits new lines, thefigureswill [be] Ninja Turtles.Nonewsyetonwhat versionwere based [on] …It was not untilthe nextinfo [at] NEWYORKTOYFAIR.
..bottom line, aside from the Giant KID-SIZED TMNT figures we’ve seen during the Holidays from JAKKS ( Mikey and Leo so far ) – – we may see other scale figs. Jakks has been putting out larger Nintendo, ZELDA, MARIO, STAR WARS, WWE, HALO and the like. There may be another scale offered by Jakks akin to those other franchise lines. We’ll see. NY TOY FAIR is around the corner.
–>> Down to two more in this set, for part 7 of the “History- ” set, Nick’s own Ciro Nieli LEONARDO from 2012 appears.This guy translates alright, but again is not without a tiny bit of modification. The most notable mod is in the bigger whites of his EYES. The change from the smaller molded eyes of the original 2012 also appears on carded retail 2015- reissues of that standard Leo Nick toy.
The explanation prolly lies in another budget issue with Playmates and a small money saving tactic.
A “throwback” variant of the same sculpts of the 2012 first wave of Turtles with “retro” colored knee/elbow pads, initials on their belts like the classic ’88 Turtle toys, and show accurate pupils that replace the “WHITE” blank eyes of that initial wave. Leo’s eyes on the 2012 were apparently too small so the Varner sculpted noggin has had the eyelets widened to compensate for the pupils on the Playmates touted “NEW DECORATION” Leo version of this figure and the 2015+ reissues. They use the wide-eye head for both versions.
Aside fro the noggin’s eye sockets, updated copyright info and threaded foot pegs, all’s in order for this guy.
For fun – the 3 versions of the sculpt together. Not too much of a difference. But the eyes of the central toy with the set show the transition from the 2012 figure on the left to the 2015 redeco version on the right. We see what was done to widen then eyelets for the pupil inclusion on the redeco,
