- Fans of the old Archie comics may remember Jagwar, who ended up as part of the Mutanimal team. He never did get an action figure back then, but it seems that his day has come.






Murphy **announced today that Jagwar will be part of the TMNT action figure line next year. And then later he gave us pictures ((**Click)).


**Murph::
"I don't wanna sound ungrateful but that really doesn't look like Jagwar to me... is this going to be the same Jagwar from Archie or is this just some character with that name tossed on him?"


Point well taken. As I explained two posts below, the name Jagwar was indeed applied after the fact. However, when the control drawing of the then-unnamed jaguar character's design first crossed my desk a few months back, my initial thought was "WTF, why doesn't Playmates just make an action figure out of Jagwar instead of coming up with an entirely new jaguar character?"* However, at the time I was too busy to pursue the matter and it slipped off my radar. Last week, when I was hired to write the packaging copy for the character, it wasn't clear whether or not the jaguar was a hero or villain. When I inquired, the question was then posed to me whether or not I'd like to make the character into Jagwar. I did. So, to answer the question above, yes, in effect this is just some jaguar character with the name Jagwar (and accompanying "Archie bio") tossed on to him... thus turning it into Jagwar.


*My second thought had to do with one of the other mutant character designs, that of a villainous Tasmanian devil. Knowing the endangered status of the real Tasmania devil (due to a highly contagious form of cancer that is decimating the species), I felt that the character ought not to be a villain but a hero, hoping to draw a little attention to their plight (however remote that might be) but moreso to not add to the misunderstood "devil" label of the imperiled species. My concern was ignored. .."



Still cool glimpse at the Kitty that is now known as 'JAGWAR' !! ~t

-->> ..Thanks to m'boss man Mikey for holdin' the fort together while the Con tied me up in wierd n' wonderful circles. The tuff' but fun trip to C-con '07 left me offline sadly and a double whammy of a dry spell on big TMNT news..wasn't til' i got back that the Shell-brains started to pick up steam again durin' the final month of Summer !! Least back to school'll be cool cuz Today's the big day ((for those who havn't gotten the Discs early )) the TMNT's fourth movie hits the discs in multi-formats.. here's your news Round-up and some specs on the various versions you'll find around town stateside ..((special thanks to my friends at T-drome and C.A.G. ..))::


**


THE U.S. DISCS ::







TMNT- Full Frame, Widescreen ::Standard DVD SRP $28.98








TMNT- Widescreen ::BLUE-ray SRP $34.99







TMNT- Widescreen ::HD DVD/DVD hybrid Comco ((both Hi-def and standard versions are on this special dual disc !! ~tOkK)) SRP $39.99

TMNT ..


-Target




*Exclusive 2-disc Deluxe Edition DVD for $22.99. ((Prolly the most practical version to get at this time for the most content ..the version tOkKster will get first.~t !!))


Regular Edition DVD for $16.99.


-Circuit City




*DVD for $16.99 + free action figure (the free action figure looks to be one of the mini figures that were available at Toys R Us earlier this year).




-WalMart




*I thought I had read WalMart would have the movie packaged with the PC game for $19.99, but now I can't find confirmation on this. ((**THIS IS CONFIRMED**~tOkK))




-BestBuy


*DVD for $16.99, no special bonus.
Based on this information, it would seem that Target is the place to go for the "Deluxe Edition."


**Don't forget that Season 5 of the original cartoon and Volume 2 of Fast Forward are also available on the same day. There are reports that some stores have already put these on the shelf, so you might get lucky and find them early if you look."





BOTTOM LINE:: ..it looks like 'TARGET' and their 2-disc special version is the best bet if you want the most bonus content regarding the movie specifically..at least in the U.S. ..!!








TMNT - 'Wal-mart' palette 4 A.M.


























- BEST BUY, Kmart , FYE ,Suncoast,ect. seem to offer just the standard DVD,HDVD/DVD,and Blu-ray versions ..with no bonus promo premium exclusives ((like the Turtle mini-figures.))


**


Kmart however will be offering $7 discount on TMNT - Original Series S.5 thru Aug 11.




**







- Cicuit City are also be offering TMNT- TOS Volumes 3 & 4 at the deep discount of $3.99 each this week !!
