--.. tha man with the plan brings wind .. and water..

"Ok, I'm trying to be creative with the titles. Don't hit me. But design sketches for the Upcoming Scuba Gear Turtles have been posted over at Action-Figure.Com. I'd have to say that they look pretty good, for being Turtle Variants. I still would prefer to see the Toon Accurate Space Hoppin' Turtles. Or Trench Coat Turtles. Or even Purple Dragon Turtles. But I'm always willing to get an intresting variation of the green teens. "

..the really cool and in my opinion ,stunning concept work starts RIGHT HERE..!! The TMNTs will come backed in with some 'finger-flick firables and some new -underwater pals.. checkit' while it's wet!!

-->> VID Figs!!
well i'm goin' manic..so here's your early Monday update::

--Good' ol' 'Splint' from T-drome reports in::

According to a post and pictures on Raving Toy Maniacs (..original report here..), it seems Wal-Mart is the place to be for Turtle Power.
The original report of the first four Turtle figures being reiussed with DVD's has turned into nearly the entire line being reissued with DVD's. It appears to be a Wal-Mart exclusive, similar to the Mattel Batman figures reissued with Comic Books that occured recently. All currently released figures appear to have been recarded with DVD's. The only exception appears to be 'April O'Neil' and the 'Fire Foot Mystic'. So get to your Wal-Mart's and start hunting the endcaps. Because they are showing up now in many areas.


-HERE is the original Photo as pictured above .. looks like the latest TMNT Wave..including Turtle Titan,Leatherhead and the gang will get the DVDs..

-..here is the endcap..these particular figs were found on..
..the 2 DVDs is each pack are the eps.. Darkness on the Edge of Town ..and Garbageman ..
..prolly to celebrate the TMNTs coming up on 'Cartoon Network'..hence the packaging stickers.. oi..!!

--Well..scince we're in the habit of repeating updates and posts and stuff and we're kinda click n' trigger happy.. ..

..don't forget.. all the good new stuff Mr.B posted on the Official TMNT site.. like icons and wallpapers and comic strips..

--..o' yeh don't forget the Mp3 Downloads Mike made himself.. even tho he already posted about earlier.. might as well post about it again!!

--And ya know.. even tho' ..alls ya gots ta do is scroll down just an iddy biddy bit to get this up date on 'Gettin' Down in your Town Tour' Mp3s.. here i am posting about it.. agian !!

--O' and here's Nick's new Comic!!


--..o yeh..here's a real important update of a Kid on a pony!!

--..and this pretty much covers the direction all of this clicking is driving me..

..so.. i bid you.. a fond farewell..

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!

Hey Everyone! Friday, the 26th, Dan updated the site... and here's what he gave us!

There are this week's TMNT comic strips..

There's also new icons and wallpapers, all made by fans! Rock on!

And last of the updates, the box cover from An Odd Piece of Video featuring the TMNT saving the Metro system in L.A. or sumptin? Weird but cool.

Also, Mike linked to some cool MP3's he sequenced himself... And some of the tracks from the "Getting Down In Your Town Tour." Note, They aren't the best audio, but it still rocks! Thanks Mike!

Click here to find a few new MP3s! I've sequenced some clips from the Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue video, featuring Michaelangelo... And the theme song from the MGM show in Orlando, FL is also up. Kinda weird....

Click here to find the tracks from the Gettin' Down in your Town Tour....... They aren't the best audio, but they're still pretty good considering.

Hope you like 'em!

-->>
From Mikey::
'Okay... After a couple of weeks of buggy forums, I think it's only fair to explain myself.

See, along with the site redesign -- which still isn't complete -- I have been working on a complete overhaul of the forums. Since the server transfer last year, the current forums have been buggy and I thought a fresh install of the latest version would be the best choice.

However, I also wanted to import all the current stuff into the new ones. That way, we could just a seemless transition.

It didn't work.

MISTAKE 1: The new forums were up and running when I decided to import the current data into them. Unfortunately, all the new data was killed out and some of the current data wasn't imported. This is because the amount of forum posts was just way too much. The server cannot import a file larger than 1MB at a time -- our posts took up 13 MB.

Luckily, I had a backup of the new database that would get everything back to how it should have been. Then came....

MISTAKE 2: When the old data was imported into the new forums, several unmodified tables were making the new forum reference links located at the current forum's database. I don't know how to simplify this more than by saying... when you clicked on the admin control panel in the new forum, it would go to the current forum's admin control panel.

Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until it was too late. I overwrote the entire current forum's database with the information from the new one.

Again, I was lucky that I made a backup of the current forums as well. But when I tried to restore it, the same problem that occured in Mistake 1 happened all over again.

Everything was back EXCEPT the posts -- because the file was just too large to import by the server.

MISTAKE 3: Not realizing that it hadn't uploaded, I logged out of the current forums and focused all my time on the new ones. Had I realized then and there that none of the posts had come back, I would have put an UNDER CONSTRUCTION sign or blocked people from registering and posting. But I didn't and so everyone who logged in, couldn't do anything but post new topics.

It wasn't until two days later that Brinatello and Tokka contacted me saying that there was some weird stuff happening at the forums. I thought that they had just caught it at the time I was updating, but when I logged in, I saw that there was nothing there.

I tried round-the-clock to bring back everything I could. But all I ended up restoring was about 2/3 of the forums -- with some sacrifices... During the downtime, some people registered and even posted. But when I started the restoration process, these newbies were deleted.

I assume that any phpBB2 savvy person could do what I aimed to do within minutes.... Unfortunately, I'm not phpBB2 savvy. And everything has been trial and error...... more error than anything.

I know there are things that I should have done or should NOT have done that would have saved me a migraine or two and everyone else from getting pissed at their lost ranks, posts and topics. Of course, it probably would have helped if members experiencing difficulties would have come to me directly instead of the other moderators -- at least I would have had an explanation.

But at this point, I'm through with editing this worn out database and as many good times we had there, I never want to deal with its intricacies again.

As you know, the new forums are ready and waiting until the launch of the redesign. What I have decided to do is allow everyone to sign up at the new forums. Posting will be allowed, BUT I WOULD PREFER that main discussion continue at the current forums until a specific launch is set. At that point, we'll switch over to the new site.

Thanks for all your continued patience, everyone.

hey everyone.

I hope everyone is having a good week, and for those living in the Ohio region or regions with a lot of snow, I hope you're careful. I slipped and sprained my ankle while at work, so... I've been home since yesterday! The good news is, that means I can get this week's comic out to you guys, hot off the presses!!!

I hope you enjoy.

And... if you could do me a huge favor, all of you, fill out this survey for my comic strip. I'm trying to figure out what works, what doesn't, etc. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

-->>.. who farted in here??.. it wasn't me.. honest.. it was err.. the DVD!! yeh!!
Mr.B updates the official site..the original 4 TMNTs from the new line with DVDs ..this has been doezens of times before to push action figure sales.. and as T-drome's Splint put's it..::

"Hopefully the final versions will feature four different episodes. It is likely these are just mockups, as the DVD slipcase for Donny's is blue instead of purple and Mikey's is red instead of Orange. After all, it makes little sense to issue the same two episodes twice. But it would not suprise me if this is the case. Either way, it's good for you variation collectors. And it's good for those new collectors that missed the Wave 1 TMNT figures"

..so if your a Die-hard and ya got the green.. GO FOR IT!! ..or if you are a TMNT newbie..you're in for a real Treat!! 8)

-- In an effort to keep upi with all the TMNT licensees and products just being dropped out of nowheres..
DAN' Berger's "Merch Hype" page..gives a special space on the offical site fot the Turtle Ware gurus to display their goods and give you the lo-down on what's new!!


--volume 7..volume 8..
..gee..that dude looks like a Turtle..
..har har har..
..while Mikey was eye spyin Turtle Tots.. tOkkey spotted..and scraped up enuff' for Volumes 7 and 8 of the DVDs..

T-drome's Splint gives us a little word of warning on the DVD vids..::
"..And there is some missing sections of 3 of the episodes. Just want to get a small word of warning out to those of you that purchase the show on DVD. I don't know if the VHS releases have the same problem. But it's likely.

On TMNT: Volume 7, Return to New York pt. 2 and Return to New York 3 are missing the opening narration and recap of the previous episode before the opening credits. And on Volume 8, Search for Splinter pt. 2 is missing the opening narration and recap of the previous episode before the opening credits.

I suggest that everyone contact Funimation about this, and request that the DVD's be redone to include the openings. Remember to not be rude or insulting in your E-Mails, Calls, or Snail Mail. Just remember to tell them, that even if they are just recaps of the previous episode, they are important to the story."

..there is also a small little flyer in there about TMNT-Box set 1 ..with volumes 1-4.. but that was it..no info on any future box sets.. oii..

Howdy, just a quick update to add to Tokk's post about the new series of toys being out....

Tonight I spied the Turtlebot and Turtle Titan at Wal-Mart, but broke down when I found the one and only package of Toddler Turtles...



There was also a reallllly awesome looking sticker album that came with like hundreds of stickers..... But the price tag was a little high -- $9.82. But if you've got the cash, pick it up because it looks like a great way to tag the world with Turtles!

PS... I saw Aerosmith last night.... FOUR ROWS FROM THE FRONT! Woo!

-SykoGRAFIX's own Trans-ninja,Trans-fan,Trans-manga,Trans-metal..
..he's everything Trans..'cept for a 'vestite..and odds are he listens to TRANCE.. ::
NinjaTRON
..shares a bit of info with this Trans-tOkKa --

"At TransformersCon in Toronto, Ontario on March 13th, I asked Dreamwave Prez Pat Lee about the future of TMNT comics with his company. He said that TMNT didn't perform to a high enough standard, which we knew already, and thus if (and I stress IF) there are to be more TMNT Animated comics, they would probably not be through Dreamwave.

Now, what does that mean, exactly? It could mean that at any time, another company could swoop in and take the rights, OR it could mean that it would have to wait until the licence expires. Or it could mean nothing and in 3 months time he'll change his mind. Either way, it seemed like Pat wished things had worked out better, and if new TMNT comics came out via another company, he'd be keeping an eye on it as a fan.

HOWEVER, I do have some very cool unrelated news. I'm not sure how much I should say, but I'll mention that Dreamwave seems to have obtained a very exciting new licence. It's a very popular and enduring franchise. In fact, you might just say that it's "Legendary".

..blah blah blah

--..we know what a crumpet is!!

Dan Berger of official TMNT's site reported some info on the UK release of TMNT 1.. the original and un-cut show..that was in a short re-release in the cinemas.. soon on DVD.


The Associates media has some cool info and excellent Hi-res TMNT photo downloads for publication.. but you gotta sign up if you wanna get 'em.. if you don't want to bother with the sign-up.. here is the press release..(nothin' you didn't know..) ;]

COWABUNGA! LEAN, GREEN AND BACK ON THE SCREEN ? THE TURTLES ARE BACK!

Get ready for a new wave of Turtlemania! Currently enjoying renewed success on TV, and with their new action figures among the hottest-selling toys of the moment, the biggest phenomenon of the late 1980s, the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES are most definitely back.
Now, thanks to Medusa Pictures, the pizza munching, wisecracking, butt-kicking "Heroes in a Half Shell" can be seen on DVD for the first time in the original, live-action TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES movie. Boasting the fully restored nunchaku action that was cut from the original release, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES ? THE MOVIE looks set to introduce the awesome effect of Turtle Power to a whole new generation.

When a young boy's four pet turtles accidentally end up in the sewers of New York, they come into contact with a radioactive ooze that miraculously increases their size, enables them to walk upright and gives them the power of speech. Over the years, they make regular forays into New York, disguised by sunglasses, hats and trench coats, learning the ways of the humans, visiting the cinema and developing a taste for pizza. Under the guidance of a wise, similarly mutated rat named Splinter, the turtles ? Raphael, Leonardo, Michaelangelo and Donatello ? are trained in the ancient art of Ninjitsu. Using their skills to fight crime, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles find themselves up against The Foot, a gang of teenage thieves led by an aging ninja assassin known as The Shredder. Aided in their struggle against The Foot by beautiful, young TV reporter April O'Neil and self-appointed vigilante Casey Jones, the Turtles must battle to save New York from an evil nemesis bent on world domination.

Directed by Steve Barron (Mike Bassett: England Manager; The Adventures Of Pinocchio; Coneheads; Electric Dreams) and starring Judith Hoag (Armageddon), Elias Koteas (Collateral Damage), Josh Pais (Phone Booth; A Beautiful Mind) and Sam Rockwell (Matchstick Men; Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind), on its original release TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES became the highest-grossing independent film of all time, taking over $133 million at the box office. The film also features the vocal talents of Kevin Clash (the voice of Elmo from Sesame Street!) as Splinter and Corey Feldman as Donatello.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (PG) will be released on DVD (?15.99) by Medusa Pictures on 5th April 2004.

T-drome's Splint..mentions::
"We have some good news for all you fans of the eccentric scientist Dr. Baxter Stockman. Rumored to be in the works thanks to fan demand, we've had a couple confirmations that the figure was on the way. Playmates at Toy Fair told several Toy Websites that Baxter Stockman was on the slate for this year.

And according to an E-Mail from Playmates Customer Service, he should be available in July/August of 2004. That is subject to change however, so don't consider it written in stone. No word on which of the numerous versions of Baxter will be tapped for the toy. Since he's had so many unique looks.

Normal, Eyepatch, Wheelchair w/ Neckbrace and Robohand, Eyepiece w/ Exo-Suit, Spider Body, and Utrom Body Suit. Hopefully we'll get some word soon. I'm hoping just for a normal version myself, maybe with interchangable normal and eyepatch heads. Now let's all hope that this doesn't go to Baxter's head."
