–>> Comic-conventions are the biggest strain on Tokka in any given year as preparation for port-reviews, interviews and networking are months in the making & so anxiety filled.
The actual event is mostly a mad-dash around a very large area chasing down potential work opportunities & important faces looking for talent. It’s not all business and frustration, and forever reason – there are always many surprises for Tokka each and every year like this. ::
While taking the motions that will help shape and determine Tokka’s future; someone from the future came and visited the past this past summer on one of Tokka’s interviews.
More precisely.. be it time-travel, coincidence, or fate :: one of Tokka’s interviews was with 4kids TMNT: FAST FORWARD & BACK TO THE SEWER’s CODY JONES,April & Casey’s greatest grandchild !! A.k.a. actor,V.A. & comic writer **Clay Adams !! !!
He was also the gritty vocal talent for Mirage Donatello of the PRIME TURTLES in the insanely popular TMNT Swan-Song; TURTLES FOREVER !!
Tokka’s composure & spine during the interview; rest assured was as upright as gooey, radioactive-ooze.
Scrambling for something to be autographed, Clay signed a 4kids style TMNT school folder i’ve yet to post.
He also signed a copy of Tales of the TMNT v.2 #59 i had on hand. Split-second reasoning : 1) it’s a Mirage Book, and he was the only official voice for Mirage Donatello & 2) Tristan Jones. This being one of Tristan’s masterworks for Mirage – at that time on the side he was working on the U.K. TMNT Magazine with Andres Ponce creating TMNT:F.F. comics for the mag. Just made sense in lieu of the connection.

–>> This past week’s Toy Fair was so overwhelmingly of new Ninja Turtle goodies, Tokka .. as usual wanted to go run, hide n’ pull his head into his shell. Snappers can’t really do that tho’ so let’s make up for it by digging our beaks into the dirtiest dirt n’ gossip regarding your favourite heroes’ newest incarnation to be enshrined in plastic.
