Just like his scattered digital bits in B T T S you can collect bits of the master in New Mini-mutants 2 – packs and build the Virtual sensei for yourself. Check out  ** TNI’s Peek Here !!

– Courtesy of Vaughn Michael :: “As some of you may know I talk every so often with Steve Murphy and as I would think all of you know there has been little to no news about either Playmates or NECA’s next TMNT figure offerings.
Well I got tired of waiting for someone to spring some news so I went to Murph and shot some questions his way, while not totally informative and brutally sad this is more news than we’ve been given at all from either party concerning our favorite green guys.

I asked:
I was wondering if there are going to be any back to the sewer figures and when can we expect them?By that I mean figures sculpted to look like the show, not the movie figures with cyber gear on them.

Murph’s Answer:
“The BTTS figures look more like the movie turtles than the showturtles, sorry to report. They should be out any day now I’m told.”

I said:
I really wish there was something I could do to change things.I guess the best thing to do is not give up on my own dreams and if I ever make my own toy line to never lose what my intentions had been from the start and that is to create awesome looking characters that are appealing to the senses.I think the reason the old toys are so much fun is because people like Ryan Brown had been so involved in the creative process, but even looking back Playmates rejected almost every amazing idea Peter ever had which btw blows my mind considering he’s one half of the creative team behind this property.Seems to me that companies have no respect for the people behind what’s making them money and a line that put there stupid little company on the map.

Murph Said:
“I couldn’t have put it better, man.Playmates is lame, no doubt about it. The sad part about it is thatthe old school TMNT figures were so much fun, so cool and creative.Ever since Next Mutation it’s been pretty much boredom.”

I Asked:
Any NECA news? My comic book guy said he saw the Shredder series in the new issue of previews but when he tried to show me he couldn’t find it.

Murph’s Answer:
“We have not heard a peep out of NECA regarding the next releasefigure, whatever it is. No news from NECA since just prior to SDCC2008, in fact. No idea why not. To date Mirage has approved Shredder,Utrom, Foot Soldier and Elite Foot Guard figures. Again, no idea when they’re coming out.”

So there you go folks Not really mind blowing but more like tear shedding news for the lot of you.”
