AMERICAN GREETINGS :: “NICKELODEON” ‘DIMENSION X’ TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES – Magnet Valentines (( 2016 ))

♥ ♥

♥ ♥

–>> Used with Anthony Petrie’s style guide work ..

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  ??

☠ ☠

Nickelodeon "HISTORY OF TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" FEATURING LEONARDO iii / ..original PLAYMATES office model (( 2010 ))

–>> Now that the major Holiday Hurricane is marginally over, least the worst of it is – – as we CAREEN towards 2016, perhaps Santa left you this BIG GUY of a display piece as a memento of 2015 & a sampling of Leo figures of recent of Playmates’ days of yore.

The TRU Leo set is based on the original “History – ” display at the PLAYMATES offices in California. The 2007 Movie Leo toy is in this original display piece, as well as the unreleased 2010 COMIC Book Leo based off the Michael Dooney MIRAGE style.

Due to the massive undertaking on breaking down this piece we’ll compliment it by posting the trusted Pixel Dan E.’s review of the entire piece, then one by one break down and compare the reproduction figures in the set with original carded vintage & recent versions – one post at a time. This is a decent set, but modifications were made partly due to stabilization for the purpose of semi-mass manufacturing a retail piece based on an original IN-OFFICE Playmates model. Originally conceived presumably in 2009, this model I believe is featured lightly in 2014’s “TURTLE POWER” documentary. But the Turtle’s licensing and multimedia world has changed dramatically, and even exploded since the franchise changed hands in 2009. The TRU model reflects these changes,  — thus – — –

MondoCon 2015 :: Tokka - "FEAR BEAR" meets MIKE MITCHELL

• •

In case ya been “buzy” ( like Tokka ) and in case you missed it all  — we’ve been slammed with toy news this month between Austin’s MondoCon & NYCC ’15.

The cool kids at Toyark have us covered on the imperative bits from NYC ::

 

Here’s a quick look at some shots we caught of MONDOCon ’15 & the Toy display of Mondo’s new Classic Comic 1/6 scale TURTLES figures.

MondoCon 2015 :: Toy Display; TMNT 1/6 figures - Pre-mutant SPLINTER & UTROMSMondoCon 2015 :: Toy Display; TMNT 1/6 figures - Pre-mutant LEONARDO

The display was slightly different than the past summers SDCC ’15 Mondo booth with the Comic Casey mask and Mouser figures absent, but a new UTROM figure popped up with a T.C.R.I. canister. One would wonder if this is one of Mondo’s exclusive accessories for one of the next Turtle offerings.

**Remember, Mondo’s MICHELANGELO figure goes up for sale pretty soon here !!

Thank you for your patience the past few months, things have gotten very busy and in some regards very complicated and even good for Tokka. Thanks to HERO for filling in the gaps here while i’ve been swamped with issues n’ work.

We’ll keep pluggin’ away & working hard to bring you the very best we can and the msot unique TMNT content out there !! !!
