Related notes:: Welp, the last quarter of the year blew by pretty, and here we are  ( love it or hate it ) on the big HARD-COPY release day of one of the most talked about movie in the TMNT film pantheon – and even just as far as comic-book films from the past few years.

TMNTMovie-BRAYI’ll try to break down as many of the North American releases as i can as far as basic editions and the exclusive editions that are just do darn popular with the major blockbusters nowadays with the major retailers.

The basic retail versions on the Kmart site i think will represent the same basic offerings and similar pricing structure at other retailers as well as at Kmart. Keep an eye on this post is i learn of any major changes to exclusives offered or any additional exclusives that may be present that i have not listed here yet.  I hope this list will help you narrow down your choices, and pick the best viewing option, price and premium content that’s right for you and your family.  :

This incredibly popular art was made specifically made for B & N and you prolly recognize it from in-store displays promoting TMNT products around the time of the release of the film this past August. The clincher is that i am unclear if this was / IS a Pre-order/online exclusive or if the Poster will be available for pick-up if purchased in-store. I beleive it’s the prior and you had / have to order it on the site. I hope i’m wrong. There is no info on B & N’s website at moment about this. I  will look into this and update accordingly, but any info anyone can share will be appreciated. I presume, soon – we will see these posters at auction from 3rd part sellers on places like ebay. Again i will look into this.

 TMNTMovie-BR-TRUTOYS R’ US is offering TMNT Earbuds along side the masks in their combo-pack exclusives.

Again i’ll keep this list updated as time progresses and i learn of new offers, premiums and exclusives in North America.

“NINJA TURTLES” Movie :: SHREDDER { tOKKustom MOVIE MANIAC } (( 2014 ))

"NINJA TURTLES" Movie :: SHREDDER  { tOKKustom MOVIE MANIAC } i (( 2014 ))

☣ ☣

–>> Neither movie accurate nor inaccurate;Varner Studio’s 2014 MOVIE shredder represents earlier ILM designs for Saki’s armor. One of the more talked about elements of the new film, thankfully this Shredder would reflect ‘somewhat’ more traditional incarnations of the character – if not an amalgam of many earlier incarnations.

"NINJA TURTLES" Movie :: SHREDDER  { tOKKustom MOVIE MANIAC } ii (( 2014 ))

Like VARNER’s Foot Soldier in the line, the final look of the manufactured figure may not represent the final look of the characters depicted onscreen, however with some effort and modification ( and imagination ) one CAN amazing things with these toys to better reflect the images in the actual film.

Presented here is a Shredder not entirely accurate to the film, but perhaps a blend of those earlier designs Varner Studios worked off off for the villain and a color scheme & wash similar to the effect of the final version of the Samurai inspired armor. Along with some original elements Tokka added to enhance the toy.

"NINJA TURTLES" Movie :: SHREDDER  { tOKKustom MOVIE MANIAC } iii (( 2014 ))

The studded cape of the figure is not present in the live-action portions of the film. However the illustrated / animated intro during Splinter’s voice-over features Shredder flanked by some armed Foot Soldiers. That image DOES feature a studded cape on Saki. From a certain point of view: the figure in reality emulates the early concept work for Saki, Eric Sacks mentions in the movie “upgrades” to the armor Shredder dons in the live-action. Retconning these facts in the movie, the figure hypothetically could be featuring an earlier version of Shredder’s armor PRE- the upgrades made by Eric Sacks and his crew.

Tokka’s presentation also gives a nod to a late great movie-inspired toy-line of the late 1990s & early aughts.

Stefan Varner, son of Steve and fellow toy designer at VARNER was in charge of creating Mikes noggin. Four ( or more ? ) attempts were made to get Mikey’s face just right. The fifth head passed Stefan’s and Nickelodeon’s expectations and that is the current noggin you’ll find on main Mikey figures in production worldwide. This particular sculpt is etch signed by the artist.
