..almost time to thrill n' crank out the Jack-0-lantern buckets*.. n' get dressed up like freeks* n' wander aroud the block aimlessly in the hopes some feeble strangers will honour your candy bucket with wonderous presents n' sweet things hopefully not laiden with sharp objects and poison..
..it's almost HALLOWEEN ..!!

'Hollywood Costumes' has all the wares for ya online turtle wannabes and soon-to-BEs ..if anything..check out the links fer pirty pictures of the Turtle 'LEO'-tards..(wait that pun didn't sound right).. then head to your nearest super store ..(Kmart,Targets,Wal-marts..et.al.. ) so you can shell-AKK the competition on Ghost night with the coolest costumes on this side of the sewer..!!

TMNT Gets HEavy Applause By the Gaming Community at Gamespy.com<

I was checking out my usual webhaunts, (such as ) Penny Arcade and I saw them discuss gamespy's most over-rated games.

And Battletoads, a game's concept I liked cos it did mirror the TMNT, was number 13 on the list and of course, all the gang pretty much agrees: Battletoads was nothing but hype and trying to gain success off the TMNT and their "awesomeness".

Nice reading. You should check it out.

Hey everyone.

If you've not purchased TMNT Vol. 1 and 2, it's definately worth the money, even tho I regret buying them just yet with the box set coming out very soon! Argh, the temptation of buying Vol. 3 and 4 and buying the box set too!

If anything, check out the interviews with Peter Laird. I REALLY wish they would release TMNT: THe Movie the DVD tho, you know? Well, as a special edition, anyways. An interview session, unedited almost, and a commentary by Peter Laird would be s-s-s-s-uper.

Welpers, This Week's Comic is Up...

Also, Lately, I've been really working on some different things here and there, and one of them is doing a parody, one with love, of course, to the TMNT, with my own comic strip. So, soon expect an image by the end of November, done entirely by me, just for you guys here at Mikey's TMNT. Mike's been really nice to allow me to still post my thoughts of the TMNT and link my site up still AND you all come out and give the site a shout out too, so consider it a nice little payback just for you TMNT fans. ;-) With that said, check out the new comic, and have a good day gang! Ciao!

In addition, TVShowsOnDVD.com reports that "... Volume 3: The Way of Invisibility and Volume 4: The Shredder Strikes are now both scheduled to hit on October 14th. TVShowsOnDVD partner e-tailers like Amazon and DVDPlanet agree that this is the new date."

Khary Randolph's website
I don't know if any recognition has gone his way since the debut of the Fox Box's TMNT show, but here's a shoutout to Khary Randolph -- who was the illustrator for the 4Kids TMNT style guide. The way I understand it, this guy's illustrations have kept the animators of the new show in check with Michael Dooney's original artwork.

He's got some great artwork posted in his Art section, and an outstanding pic of the four turtles in his original TMNT post from almost a year ago. That pic is just begging to become desktop wallpaper. Anyway, check it out... You won't be disappointed. This is one talented guy! Great job, Khary!

I'm in love!

Peter Laird offers some news about the new Tales of the TMNT he's working on for next year. Check out his blast from the past!

Forums are a little buggy right now, but are functional even so. Feel free to post anything you'd like to the forum community.

New toy sculpts for anyone who hasn't seen them yet (from Dan Berger) and new super sale:

Clone Shredder with Claws Initial Toy Sculpt

Dr. Malignus Initial Toy Sculpt

We've also added a new Super Sale, so you might wanna scope that


Also, anyone looking for gutwallow should probably check out the new site here, instead of gutwallow.com. I'm sure Dan would like everyone to be able to find his fine comic book a little more easily. He's also got some great articles. I'm sure this is old news. But go there anyway.

Mikeystmnt.com was hosted by featureprice.com. That shitty company went down, but was acquired by atlantic.net. They promised a smooth transition for former clients of FP. That was until the former owner of FP denied atlantic.net employees access to the FP equipment. The same day (July 1, 2003), all FP sites went down.

While I was in the process of moving the site to a new, more trustworthy and customer-friendly host (globat.com), access to the domain mikeystmnt.com was denied by the former owner of FP. I was unable to change the name servers, which is critical when transferring a domain. At this time, I still have not been able to change the name servers, but have informed atlantic.net of the problem. Once that is done, this transition will go along more smoothly (I hope).

I am sorry to report that at this moment the forums are down. With no FTP access to my old servers, I was unable to make a backup of the forum databases. If the old server never returns, then I will have no possible way to retrieve old posts or member info. It will have to be reconstructed from the ground up. Again, I'm very sorry about this. But, hopefully, the server will come back up some day soon and we will be able to regain all that lost info.

I'm sorry for any inconveniences. With some luck, the site will be back to normal again.

News From Dan Berger:

Howdy folks,

Time for a bit o' news:

TMNT TV SERIES

* The TMNT cartoon will debut in the U.K. on GMTV July 20 at 8:25 AM (this is the first we've heard of the actual time slot :)

* The show should be airing on the Ten Network in Australia sometime in July as well - but that's all we know thus far.

* France's TF1 network will begn airing the program sometime in September.

* There are more countries that are planning to carry the Turtles, but we don't have any specifics yet - it's looking like the other territories won't be getting the show until late 2003 or early 2004. As always, stay tooned. :)

TMNT TOYS

* I just got a look at the upcoming list of toys that Playmates has scheduled for release over the next 16 months - and it's long! I can't give out details at this time (the toy industry is super secretive), but there's ALOT of cool figures slated to be made - I imagine there will be many happy faces by Christmas of 2004. :)

* The Extreme Sports Turtles should be appearing in the USA later this month.

* The Foot Razor Jet vehcile should be out in the USA in August.

* The Turtle Lair Playset is scheduled for a Christmas 2003 release for the USA.

* We've gotten reports that Series One has finally started appearing in Canada! Wahoo!

TMNT DVD

* Many of you are asking what's up with 4Kids/FUNimation skipping two episodes for DVD #2, and unfortunately I can't answer that question. It looks to me like the "Meet Casey Jones" DVD contains the three epsiodes that feature Casey the most prominently (which makes sense considering the title of the DVD). Hopefully all episodes will be presented as time goes on, and the 3 episode DVDs will sell well enough to warrant season sets. Time will tell.


Cheers!

"Behind the Dribble" continues as pre-production on my movie carries on. Principal photog begins July 2nd, we take a break for July 4th weekend, and then we carry on once more into the breach July 7th. If I can, there might be a small toy-cameo from one of our favorite green teens. (Trying to ger permission on anything is a bit of a hassel!)

Today's ep on Fox Box was "Attack of the Mousers", and gosh does that episode kick butt.

Becuase I like the TMNT alot and, like Cameron Crowe and Kevin Smith, I consider ripping something off one of those great forms of flattery. And in the age ol' ripping off formula aka Flattery, and being wrapped up in production of my movie, I am giving everyone, "Behind the Dribble", a mix between Peter Laird's Blast From the Past and VH1's Behind the Music. This week I give you the original design for the character that would later become Nick. Enjoy everyone!

Pictures of the new action figures are on figures.com

I honestly don't know if anyone has posted this, but the official website reported on the new cartoon dvd release:

Funimation To Distribute TMNT Videos

Funimation Productions, which handles the home video releases for 4Kids Entertainment's high-powered Yu-Gi-Oh! series, will also handle the sales and distribution of video products from the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cartoon series now appearing on 4Kids' Fox Box on Saturday morning.

The first two TMNT video releases from the new series will each contain three episodes and will be available on both DVD and VHS tape. The DVDs will have a suggested retail price of $16.95 and the VHS tape will list for $12.95. The DVDs will include an exclusive interview with TMNT co-creator Peter Laird. The first two volumes from the new TMNT series will be released on September 2nd.

Saturday, June 14, 2003

Do you know what today is? If not, I'm sure Ashley can tell you in this week's strip, by clicking here. I gotten a few responses about the last few comic book related comic strips and everyone seems to enjoy them. So expect to see Raph, Wolvie and Spidey in some form or another return eventually! :-) Thanks for e-mailing me. E-mailing me makes me feel special inside. But what makes me even MORE special inside, is if you voted for my webcomic at Top Web Comics. You can vote once a day, and help D4K reach a whole new level of cool that Michaelangelo would respect!

Also to note: Javvi digitally inked a picturefor me a long time ago and of course it ROCKS! It's here, and it's tied to my novella "The Fall of the Foot Clan".

Enjoy, gang!

Animal Planet's '50 Greatest Animals'

!!..



50 Greatest TV Animals. Saturday, 8 p.m., (check local listings) Animal Planet.

-N/Y/ Daily News

Show cites top critters, lets many get away



Who's the greatest TV animal of all time?

Bugs Bunny? Mister Ed? Flipper?

I'm not going to tell you who the top dog is, but Animal Planet has put together "50 Greatest TV Animals," a romp through television history that sets out to name the biggest creatures — real, animated and puppets — in small-screen history.

As far as that goes, this two-hour special, airing Saturday at 8, is a delight. But the spotlight is widened so much that puppets and cartoons and people in animal costumes are eligible for the competition, and TV commercial creatures as well. This dilutes the show's focus and impact. But with Mario Lopez as host and as produced by Michele Farinola, it's fun anyway.

"50 Greatest TV Animals" gets points for remembering some of the most striking real animals from TV history, including Fred the cockatoo from "Baretta" (No. 25), J. Fred Muggs the chimp from "Today" (No. 48) and even Bruce the ocelot from "Honey West" (No. 34). Rin Tin Tin is here (No. 14), and so is Clarence the cross-eyed lion from "Daktari" (No. 39).

Some of the choices are brilliant. The winning choice is perfect (we'll save the suspense on that one), and even Arnold the Pig from "Green Acres" gets his due. But with spots reserved for such undeserved creatures as the duck in the Aflac commercials and Chipper the dog (huh?) from "Land of the Giants" (double huh?), a lot of animals get unfairly neglected.

In the puppet universe, where are ALF, "Captain Kangaroo" stalwarts Mr. Moose and Bunny Rabbit, and Shari Lewis' Lamb Chop?

If Spot the dragon on "The Munsters" makes it, why not Ollie the dragon on "Kukla, Fran and Ollie"? And though Kermit the frog makes the Top 10, a dozen Muppet animals are missing, including Animal.

As for cartoon creatures, I miss Dino from "The Flintstones," Mickey Mouse and company from "The Mickey Mouse Club" and all four of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Huckleberry Hound and El Kabong, Top Cat — they're all overlooked, as is the NBC Peacock.

I don't expect the compilers of this list to treasure, as I do, Rancid the Devil Horse from "The Ernie Kovacs Show," or to remember Crusader Rabbit, or the hound dogs from "Columbo" and "Hee Haw." But no ALF? No Pokey from "Gumby"? No Barney? (Wait; that snub I like.)

No — gasp — Underdog?

Still, the ones who are ranked get impressively thorough and entertaining treatment. "50 Greatest TV Animals" is lots of fun to watch, even when it's infuriating for what you don't see.

..Toon in ta see if your Fave shell-back bunch made the top 50 !!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Burger
The Modern Day Expansion to Ninja Burger: The Role-Playing Game

When the economy slumps, competition between fast-food franchises heats up! In their mad rush to simulate Ninja Burger's™ Unbelievably Secret Wasabi Sauce®, the dishonorable dogs at Otaku Bell™ accidentally exposed a batch of their I Can't Believe Its Not Wasabi! Sauce® to nuclear radiation. While tasty, the radioactive paste was deemed a failure after the test animals began to exhibit strange side effects; the frequent spouting of clichéd catchphrases and a penchant for the martial arts. A crazed Otaku Bell™ scientist stole the afflicted animals and opened his own fast-food chain: Mahjong-os™, where all pizzas are delivered within thirty minutes or they're on us!* Teenage Mutant Ninja Burger pits the honorable Ninja Burger™ employees against their toughest opponents yet -- highly intelligent, super strong, pizza-toting mutant animals. And, as if that weren't enough, it provides rules for state-of-the-art security systems and heavily armed guards to the delivery location as well. Luckily, Teenage Mutant Ninja Burger also contains Requisition Forms for new equipment and details on Wujenitsus, recently developed by the benevolent Ninja Masters, for use in today's hi-tech world. Combine all that with a new, controversial Ninja Sub-Clan, and you have the makings of one bodacious supplement!

OFFICIAL NEWS FROM DAN BERGER AT MIRAGE STUDIOS...

Howdy folks,

First off, the bad news: our server computer has gone haywire and it looks like it will need to be replaced and possibly relocated - this is going to cause alotta problems, so the site will periodically be down, run slow, have broken links and other general (and not so general) troubles for the next week or two. I can't even access it to update files at the moment, so I don't know when our next update will be. Hopefully we'll have it worked out by next Friday. Knock on plastron!

Fortunately our mail should be unaffected by the server's trouble.

Disappointing news: the production work being done by Hallmark for the live action TMNT mini-series that was slated to appear in 2004 has gone into hiatus while Hallmark negotiates an air date with ABC.

News about the new cartoon series: the season finale, "The Shredder Strikes Back" Part 2 will air this Saturday, June 14. Fox Box will then show repeats over the summer and the final 8 episodes will appear in the Fall. The 9:00 AM EST "TMNT repeat" time slot will be replaced with another show over the summer. Season Two will begin sometime in 2004, but a definitve date hasn't been set as of yet. Work has begun on the scripts for Season Two, approximately 7 scripts have already been completed.

4Kids Entertainment will begin releasing DVDs of Season One this September. The current ship date is set for September 2, but this is subject to change. 4Kids came to Mirage Studios and interviewed Peter Laird and some of the Mirage artists to include as bonus footage to the DVDs. I haven't been given any additional info about the format yet - but 4Kids has been releasing two episodes per DVD of other series, so it's possible that they'll follow this strategy with the TMNT (and it's possible that they won't :)

We've been getting alotta questions about TMNT 4 again. To quell the rumors, the old Digital Rim/John Woo CG project is still canceled. A new rumor about 4Kids producing an animated feature film is just a rumor at this point - we have'nt heard anything about this from the dudes at 4Kids. Perhaps someone in Cyberville heard about the DVDs and thought this was a film project - I don't know - but it ain't happenin' (at least not yet - who knows what the future may bring :)

That's all for now. Have a great week!

Cheers!

Hey everyone.

First off, in TMNT video game related news, if your local magazine retailer features this mag, or you can go to Gamestop, and check it out. It's the official Gamestop magazine (I know a few Walden Books here in Columbus carries them as well...) but the magazine is called 'GAMEINFORMER" and features a few new scans of the TMNT game that are NOT featured yet on the web, as far as I've seen. Also it features a few new more things that Mirage or the info on gaming sites have yet to include (specially those who played the game at E3 in which I heard the premiere of the game got rave reviews and a standing ovation the first day of E3 despite some skeptics...)

Pretty much, the game as seen in some of the screenshots at www.ninjaturtles.com, you can play 2 player like the old arcade game in 3-d Ninja Turtle butt kickin action, BUT as the game progresses and you learn more "secret moves" you can also call upon your brothers as a whole, and do team combos. So all four turtles will be on the screen fighting at the same time! Sure, they'll be A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) but how sweet is that!? Also if you own one of the 'big three' systems and wonder about secret easter eggs and surprises, the team behind the game told the magazine not to worry, for the XBox, PS2 and Gamecube will have the same content for now, but slowly the Development Team is working to change that. Such as, hidden elements for the Gameboy Advance will be hidden in the Cube, and vice versa and some will have hidden clips in one game, etc.

So the game is gonna be a winner for anyone!! I'm physched! So the magazine: GAMEINFORMER, and the page number is 62. Check it out!

Sorry about rambling. I love the TMNT games tho and I can't wait. Moving along...

is THIS WEEK'S STRIP. Featuring Raph again from the fab four, I decided to throw caution to the wind and try some continunity yet again. Does it work? You be the judge. :)

I hope everyone has a good weekend and tomorrow is I hope, another new TMNT episode!

..And now, it seems that 4Kids is producing a new movie. Wether it's a Made for TV Prime Time Special like the original series had, or a theatrical movie, no one knows for sure. But it seems the turtles are back full fledge! ..

This Week’s Strip is now available. As I promised, the TMNT make a quick appearance, or should I say, one of them do, as well as two other marvel heroes.

Hm. Has anyone seen the Matrix Reloaded? Perhaps you felt a bit jilted by the film, as if something was missing? Well, I felt that way. Until I began to play Enter the Matrix on the cube and my god, it made the movie 5 times better. Either way, despite on my first turn not caring for the film, you NEED to check this movie out. No if ands or buts. You’ll see action sequences you’ll most likely never see again at a movie. Well, in America, anyway.

Speaking of movies, anyone know when that TMNT hallmark tv-movie is gonna come out or did that pop back into development hell? Let me know at nick@dribbleforkids.com or go to the message boards and let the gang know!

First off, I wanna say hey to everyone. I've not forgotten anyone, and also, my many happy returns of the day to the dude of them all with the site (besides Tokka.. ;-) ) Mikey!! Happy B-day Mike, and I hope it was a pleasant one.

If anything I think you all should, if you get a chance, send Mike an e-mail wishing him, not only a happy birthday, but also tell him thanks for running/overlooking the site, and helping it become what it is today.

Okay with that said, as I used to do in the old days, well, like months ago, I've done some new comic strips!! I'm gonna try to do one every Friday. Try being the key word.

Here is last week's comic strip... and then this week's strip is entitled "Turtleneck Sweatshirts."

I know last time I ever really posted, I promised a TMNT strip, specially with the new show out. Actually I have a few ideas I wanted to do for the TMNT being in the strip again, and well with all the mutant movie mayhem happening this summer with HULK and X2, I think I can really make some cool strips featuring our favorite turtle foursome!

And, I was surfing, and I don't know about you, but if you want some new threads featuring the new TMNT toon versions, well you're in luck! We got some awesome shirts right here at The King of T-Shirts. Note tho, it only comes, well some of them come in Medium, Large and X-Large. So happy buying!

Cowabunga!
