Thanks CPSG, and welcome to the board! Did you by any chance check out my website with my full collection?

[Raph]

Somebody please give me mouth to mouth. I freaked out this afternoon as I opened my mailbox.
I was still expecting 2 or 3 autographs, so I opened this envelop quite casually untill I saw the autographs of Elias Koteas a.k.a Casey Jones from the original movies!! I succeeded after seven failed tries! So fricking happy!

Here they are!!


Elias Koteas as Casey Jones


Elias Koteas as Whit from the third movie

[Master Splinter]

Those are some real gems there Raph!

Great additions!

[Raph]

Thanks MS. This one blew my mind! I don't think I can ever top this one

[Raph]

Ain't it awesome, I've been doing this collecting for 4 and a half years now and I managed to score 4 autographs in my latest TMNT movies top-5 within a year!!

But I can't retire yet just gotta keep going 'till 2012! Then I can hunt for new names!
And there are still plenty of people to find.

LOL!!! Thats a positive point of view!!!! Go on!!!!

[Raph]

Sure I will Luz, you are one of my biggest fans!
While it's not going as fast as it used to go (the more people I find the slower it goes), I'm still expecting people.

And although I'm not entirely sure I will succeed with them, these are names I'm still expecting hopefully:

Martin P. Robinson (Leo's puppeteer in movie 1)
Larry Lam (Stunt Leo in all Live action reincarnations)
Shishir Inocalla (Stunt Mikey in movie 3 and head stunt Venus in NM)
Michael Turney (Danny Pennington in movie 1)
And Gregory Abbey aka Frank Frankson aka John Campbell is still so incredibly kind enough to hunt a bunch of the 4Kids VA's for me (he is so awesome)

'Till next update

[Raph]

Hi all, well make some space 'cause I have a huge 4Kids update.

About 6 months ago I sent a bunch of photos to 4Kids to try and get some remaining character I found hard/impossible to get into contact with. Being close with Gregory Abbey (Raphael), he told me he would intercept those photos and help me out!

Then there was this news that 4Kids might shut down etc...but I mentioned that before. About 2 months ago, I heard from Gregory that 4Kids wasn't shutting down anymore, but also not much was going on. They were now recording a new Yu-Gi-Oh season called "5-D's" and some TMNT VA were in it. He would try and get as many of the photos signed. And he really tried hard which I find amazing!

Today I got back this fat envelope and below are the results of Gregorey' Quest!

FROM THE 2K3 SEASONS:


Found this extra added poster photo in the envelope, signed by Wayne and Gregory


Oh yeah, Gregory rocks, he went over to Greg Carey's house to have him sign my Hun photo!


David Zen Mansley signed my Agent Bishop photo happy, happy

AND FROM THE FAST FORWARD SEASON:


David Zen also signed my Darius Dun photo!




Wayne Grayson signed my Michelangelo and Dark Mikey pic with a nice quote.


Darren Dunstan, Splinter


And I finally have Christopher C. Adams, a.k.a. Cody Jones!

Thank you for your time....

[Powder]

Awsome! You must be so excited

[Raph]

Indeed! Having Hun, Cody, Bishop and Darius Dun is a real treat!!

[Buffy]

Cool! I love all the remarks on the photographs: cloney goodness!

[TheCanadiandrome]

Thanks TMNT_25,

Yeah it has been quite a trip over the last 4 and a half years. Really excited about what Gregory did for me to score some few names I was still missing. And still more is coming, I found a few new OT voice actors recently

About your questions: Has it been easy?
Sometimes yes, sometimes Oh god not at all , but I'm persistant and that really worked. For example it took me 8 tries to find Elias Koteas.

How did I go about starting?
Well I already was and still am collecting movie and celeb. autographs. At a certain moment I started with everything TMNT about 4 years ago. I started easy..Internet! What a bless well, IMDbPro was what started it all, then personal websites with contact info, and thats what got the ball rolling.

How could you get some?
Well like i said, start of with IMDB and look for the VA's personal websites. As for 4Kids actors, it would have been easier to ask that about 4 years ago. The very first time I just sent out a big bunch of photos to the 4Kids studios and waited. But nowadays, there's only 1 show recorded there, so almost everyone is gone...

[Luzmagica]

Cool adds!!! Its nice specially that Darren Dunstan, Splinter remark!!!! "Keep training Rutger!" With Splinter´s name and paw!!!! Awesome !!!! super cute!! I love it!

awesome, thanks so much for the information

[Raph]

Wow....29 days since my last update! But I have something new. I'm kinda running out of classic cartoon VA's to find, but I was still able to tracks down a small few. One of them being Nicolas Omana.
He was the voice of Walt (the brother of Zack the fifth turtle) and Rasputin the Mad Frog (the one with the Bow). He was amazed that somebody wanted his autograph, so he literally jumped out of his chair to sign those pics and return them

Here they are:





Untill next time, dudes and dudettes!

[TheCanadiandrome]

dude, nice scores there!
