OK, SO I AUTOMATICALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO THAT DAY. I'LL BE THERE TO CAPTURE THE EVENT ON VIDEO AND MANY PHOTOS. WHEN I DO, I'LL POST THEM UP. CANT WAIT.

[GK Punk]

That is too awesome. I hope I get a chance to see it on TV. If not, I'll have your photos to look forward to though, so I'm covered either way.

[OA]

That should be pretty sweet!!! Doubt I'll actually watch it, but the pics should be cool...

[MasterMole]

If I lived in NYC or close by, I'd probably go too. I hope to see our green boys on tv

[Tinuvielsdreams]

hmm I wonder what they will look like costume wise? I have always wanted to go see that parade just once, wish this was the year :-?

[LUCKFF]

NO DOUBT THIS IS WHAT THEY'LL LOOK LIKE. THESE COSTUMES HAVE BEEN ON TOUR ALL AROUND THE U.S. FOR SOMETIME NOW AND I AM PRETTY SURE THESE ARE THE GUYS THAT WILL SHOW UP FOR THE PARADE.

[Masked Ninja]

*nods* Those are actually pretty nice costumes! They don't look too weird like they have the capability to do sometimes... even with shaded arms and legs! Can't wait!

[Weapon X]

Macy's Thanksgiving Parade from the 1991 had the guy's riding in a '61 Cadillac, wearing santa hats.

Heres a video courtesy of Matt of X-E for those who havn't seen it.

Those costumes are some of the best i've seen of the TMNT, there have been some truley horrific ones :o

[Weapon X]

:o those are vaguely Grotesque I cencerily Dobt thoses ones would be used

[zkarlette]

I think grotesque would be a mild comment.....those are beyond awful

I think they did a good job with the new costumes Im just dissapointed that they haven't come to CA:ohwell:

[Weapon X]

They were also used in the old TMNT toy commercials, here they are seen in the 'Bowling Game" one.

[zkarlette]

That pic is beyond creepy .......actually scary

[Weapon X]

Very nightmare inducing, ohhh, and the first pic of the scary costumes is from the '94 Christmas Special VHS

[Sewer Bull]

They'd make a good horror movie with those costumes... TMNT tearing their victims apart with that insanely evil grin on...8)

[Weapon X]

With the smiles permanently fixed on their faces, the voice dubbing is absolutely ridiculous, Donatello would say something while standing perfectly still, or start mouthing words when there's nothing to be heard. Worse then the Godzilla films.

[zkarlette]

whoever did those costumes and thought kids would like them was probably high or something.....or he probably hates kids

[Weapon X]

Here's something odd, a bag from (put country here), that has those costumes on it. :o

Definitely a French-speaking country.

Thanks Weapon X. I'm going to have nightmares after that.:|

[zkarlette]

why are they looking down....and what happenned to Leo's katana?:ohwell:

[Sewer Bull]

why are they looking down....and what happenned to Leo's katana?:ohwell:

That's not a katana anymore.

That's a lancet.

And they are looking down at their heavily bleeding yet still alive prey that gazes at them with horror...

<My imagination is strong>

[Weapon X]

The hilt is real, but the blade looks drawn. :P

Sorry Rob.

[zkarlette]

And they are looking down at their heavily bleeding yet still alive prey that gazes at them with horror...

<My imagination is strong>

Indeed I was thinking something similar ....:|

What Is A Common Turtle Decease?

[zkarlette]

Usually its called mutagen gone rancid

[Weapon X]

Yeah, a little too much chlorine in that gene pool.

Hey, LUCKFF? What source did you get this from? 'Cause I so wanna use this as my current event!:lol: :P

[zkarlette]

I think its from the TMNT official site

[LUCKFF]

I GAVE THE OFFICIAL SITE THE HEADS UP. MY ORIGINAL SOURCE WAS TOONZONE.NET: http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=6745
THEIR ORIGINAL SOURCE WAS 4KIDS

[Tinuvielsdreams]

coolnesss thanks for posting the image! Not to bad that's what I was hoping for the most part. Too bad they can't get an army of puppteers and the original costumes from Henson's creature shop. Those are very kid friendly though. I think the TMNT will be a great highlight in this years parade...

[Tinuvielsdreams]

Okay so I didn't see them... I watched all morning both channels that were showing it at different points. I was on practically on top of the kitchen tv while I was cooking and no TMNT. :cry:
Did anyone catch a glimpse?

[Turtle Dove]

I saw this Macy thing too just for TMNT they never showed them. WHO BEEPING lied? Or was TMNT replaced for some crappy other float? Man that ticks me off.getting us TMNT fans hope up then BOOM lieing to us!:x

[ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael]

I saw this Macy thing too just for TMNT they never showed them. WHO BEEPING lied? Or was TMNT replaced for some crappy other float? Man that ticks me off.getting us TMNT fans hope up then BOOM lieing to us!:x

Are you serious? I'm watching the parade right now, it's in the last hour. Are you sure they don't appear, I'm not watching this crap for my health.

[blue_angel99]

They....didn't...'sob'...'sniffel'...'groan'...... show them!!!!!:cry: :cry: :cry:

[ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael]

DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT!!! I watched that entire crap fest for what?! Carrie Underwood and some crappy Dora balloon. DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!!!

[Tinuvielsdreams]

I know...I don't usually watch it the whole way through, I am really annoyed they didn't even acknowledge them. They had a barbie float for crying out loud! AGH!!!

[DSWBandit]

I didn't watch it. First time of not watching it. >.> And I didn't know the TMNT were "supposed" to be in it. Oh well. This thread has gave me a big laugh, although I would have liked to have seen some people in strange turtle getups. ;)
-The Bandit

[Katie]

See, I think they must have been in the section of the parade that got edited because of the balloon mishap. I believe they were meant to be there...just bad luck in being in that part of the parade...i dunno?

[Turtle Dove]

that's a CHEAP excuse.That's their fault forthe mishap! NO excuse.I qant my dang TMNT float

[LUCKFF]

OK, SO I WAS THERE, AND I PROMISED PICTURES OF THE TURTLES.....GUESS WHAT I GOT? NOTHING!!!!
THEY WEREN'T EVEN THERE! I DONT CARE ABOUT THIS PARADE! I WENT THERE FOR THE TURTLES!!! I ASKED AROUND TO SEE IF MAYBE I HAD MISSED THEM, AND NOBODY HAD THEM IN SIGHT. I CALLED PEOPLE WHILE I WAS AT THE PARADE TO SEE IF MAYBE THEY SAW THEM ON TV.....NOTHING! WHATS THE F***ING DEAL?!? NEVER THE LESS, THE PARADE WAS FUN. I DID ENJOY MY SELF, BUT I WAS REALLY KEEN ON SEEING THE TURTLES. I MEAN, IF YOU GUYS WANT I CAN POST MY PARADE PICS ANY HOW.

[Jester]

That blows....maybe we should ask Dan what happened?

[Buslady]

I think grotesque would be a mild comment.....those are beyond awful

I think they did a good job with the new costumes Im just dissapointed that they haven't come to CA:ohwell:

They have come here Z, they were at the Burbank Galleria mall a couple months ago...no way i would drive ALL the way there for that...besides I'd feel funny being like the only adult chick who'd be watching the show...

[Buslady]

TMNT aren't important enough to stick the camera on when they walk by. Stupid parade show director...
I didnt bother watching, cause honestly...I hate parades.....unless I'm in my friend's fire truck trying to wear out the freaking siren solonoid...which I did once during the toy run in LA

[lambofun]

Like these

Totally accurate statement!

I watch the parade on tv and seen no TMNT! I watch it for the TMNT, nothing else!

[LUCKFF]

I Was There Guys. Its Official...they Werent There.

I see you got an image of the M&M's float before it hit those 2 sisters.

I watched the parade and basically got fed up with an hour left so I left to go shopping at K-Mart's buy one get one free TMNT figure sale. :P

[Coola Yagami]

Of course they were there... you're not supposed to know they were there.. I mean... they wouldn't be very good Ninjas is they showed up with some huge float with a giant TMNT banner on it.... They have identities to keep secret y'know...

[Leonardo Mystic]

I Was There Guys. Its Official...they Werent There.

But over on TMNT-L, Fugitoid captured a video clip, and you can see Don and Leo way in the background in the top right hand corner of the screen. http://www.tmnt-l.com/viewtopic.php?t=451

If they truly weren't, then how could this be? :tconfuse:

[LUCKFF]

Yeah You're Right. That Definitely Looks Like Them. Although It's Hard To Tell From The Picture He Provided. The Video Does A Better Job.

The Turtles Must Have Entered The Parade At Herald Square Which Is Where The Parade Ends. I Was Following The Parade And Even Got Pics Of The Horses The Turtles Appeared Behind Of In The Video. They Weren't Behind The Horses When I Captured Them. I Tried To Enter Herald Square But It Was Packed Tight With People Who Slept Over Night To Keep Those Spots. Herald Square Is Where All The Performance Occur.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Actually LUCK....I happened to go to. And while it was freakin' COLD, (I hate cold. Yep.), We did see 'em.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a204/TurtlesMickis/9d80f008.jpg

See?

Although, it's not like they had a float or a banner or anything, so they were probably easy to miss. I say, go with a giant Mikey balloon!:P

[zkarlette]

They have come here Z, they were at the Burbank Galleria mall a couple months ago...no way i would drive ALL the way there for that...besides I'd feel funny being like the only adult chick who'd be watching the show...

I tried to find info on when they would be there and I couldnt find nothing thats why I didnt go :ohwell: , I wouldnt care on being the only adult lol:P

Ok now Im officially confussed and annoyed I watched the whole thing for nothing and now theres some proof they actually WHERE there , how did you get those pics Lioness?? you're lucky:D

[Tinuvielsdreams]

Good I am so glad they were there. The fil and photos are great :) Too bad they didn't have a banner or anything. I like the idea of a big Mikey balloon lol. Wouldn't it be funny if they walked under a huge splinter lol

[Wes]

I Was There Guys. Its Official...they Werent There.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v42/LUCKFF/TGP.gif

Maybe the Turtles weren't there, but look -- it's an army of April O'Neils!

[LUCKFF]

Actually LUCK....I happened to go to. And while it was freakin' COLD, (I hate cold. Yep.), We did see 'em.

I FEEL LIKE CACA DODO. WHAT STREET DID YOU CAPTURE THAT PIC ON? I WENT EVERY WHERE LOOKING FOR THEM.

[GK Punk]

...Did you say... "fil"!?!?! :D

[Seurat]

The turtles weren't in the parade at all? Whew... I thought I'd missed them! That's a relief. Well, not totally, cuz it sucks that they weren't there, but at least I'm not missing out on anything the rest of Earth's populace isn't missing out on. No, wait, I mean... lemme rephrase that...

[LUCKFF]

THE TURTLES WERE THERE. Lioness-Goddess GOT 2 PICS OF THEM. GO BACK AND READ HER POST.

[Masked Ninja]

Those costumes are schweet. I want one.

[Nturtle]

...Did you say... "fil"!?!?! :D
DUM

DUM


DAAAAAAA....

Fil Strikes again! :evilgrin:

FIL!

[Raph's Girl]

What's that white thing on Leo's arm??? He's either on the patch (tsk tsk Leo for smoking) or the costume still had the price tag on it. :o :lol:

And where's Don???

[Turtle Dove]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v42/LUCKFF/TMNT%20TOYS%20R%20US/TMNT36.jpg

:o Woooooooooow.....*Drools* Come to me....I'd be drooling, flirting, winking,blowing kissess ....everything I could think of:lol: I wonder what the parents would say ...:evilgrin:
