Season 7 News and DVD Discussion

[gobo]

Wasn't that a comment he used towards me from a few weeks ago? I feel so unimportant now... :( But, don't worry, V. Jester's just clowning as usual. It's his job. If he ever stops, it's 'off with his head' time. :teek:

[TheCanadiandrome]

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't notice your Canadian accent for some reason. :P WalMart.ca doesn't even have them, but if you were to order the four 'slices' from DVD Empire, it would cost you $49.98 USD. But, that's probably a tiny bit more than what you can get it for at Amazon.ca ($59.96 CAD). At least, xe.com says the current exchange rate makes Amazon.ca your best option.

well, i'm not concerned about walmart.ca, i'm more concerned if the store gets the DVDs, cause the site doesn't reflect the store.

in that case, i'm deffinately going with amazon.ca if walmart doesn't get them

[Head Spinnin' Bebop]

Maybe it doesnt mean anything, but it looks like the Amazon.ca DVDs do not include the figures. The DVD image is different than that on Amazon.com.

If that is the case, I'll go with Amazon.com.

[gobo]

DVD Empire is significantly cheaper for Canuks.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Maybe it doesnt mean anything, but it looks like the Amazon.ca DVDs do not include the figures. The DVD image is different than that on Amazon.com.

If that is the case, I'll go with Amazon.com.

i'd contact Amazon and see if that's maybe a mistake, cause i've ordered from amazon.ca and have never seen anything different between both sites

[gobo]

The DVD image is different than that on Amazon.com.
I hadn't checked last time I replied, but... you might wanna get your eyes checked. And, Amazon.ca would be your cheapest option too.

[ToTheNines]

The ad in the Vol. 1 Issue 1 reprint (free comic book day) said that this is coming out on the 19th as opposed to the 12th.

[Head Spinnin' Bebop]

I hadn't checked last time I replied, but... you might wanna get your eyes checked. And, Amazon.ca would be your cheapest option too.


Lol, WOW, I promise you, when I posted that, the figure was NOT on the cover on amazon.ca.

[tone-master21]

Amazon.ca has 2 different listings for each slice one with an action figure and one without.

With Action Figures:

[ToTheNines]

Why does it cost more to get the w/o version :lol: very backwards.

[gobo]

Playmates' force-feeding tactics? :-? Again, whoops. Just when I think I've done enough research for a question...

[ToTheNines]

Playmates' force-feeding tactics? :-?

That would make sense, except I doubt playmates would have a say in what it costs.

well, obvious choice for me is with the figures

[Ninjinister]

well, obvious choice for me is with the figures

Well, for one thing, the ones with figures are on sale and cheaper than the ones without :D

[gobo]

well, obvious choice for me is with the figures
Oh, that reminds me: the other day, when I calculated those prices for you Canuks and told you Amazon.ca was slightly less expensive than importing, I used the prices of the figure-less, more expensive versions. So, actually, Amazon.ca is most definitely your best option. $50.72 CAD there vs. $49.98 USD at DVDEmpire ($58.72 CAD at the moment, according to xe.com) is a no-brainer.

well, as i've said countless times before, it Wal-mart doesn't get them next week, then i'm going with Amazon. there was once a time i purchased a season on Amazon, only to find it at Wal-mart afterwards, so i'd like to not make that mistake again. course last season, six, i got from HMV

I have the contact information. Tell me what to do and I will try to do it.

i'd go with all of the above, just to make sure enough people see it, and maybe you'll get someone who might actually care

[gobo]

DVD Empire shipped my four 'slices' today. I expect they may be here by Monday.

[Spitfire]

DVD Empire shipped my four 'slices' today. I expect they may be here by Monday.

Interesting cause that's a street date violation. Like I said before I guess no one cares about turtles.

I ordered mine off Amazon and I should have it by the time I go home next week.

[TheCanadiandrome]

well, before i go to amazon, there's two places that could get them, CD Plus and Wal-Mart

[Ninjinister]

DVD Empire shipped my four 'slices' today.

Same here :D

[ToTheNines]

DVD Empire shipped my four 'slices' today. I expect they may be here by Monday.

Me too! :D

Interesting cause that's a street date violation. Like I said before I guess no one cares about turtles.

Really? But we probably still won't get them until tuesday, so it might not be. If I'm lucky it'll get here monday as a true violation lol

[TheCanadiandrome]

damn, i can't wait til Tuesday!! want them now!!!

[gobo]

Interesting cause that's a street date violation.
Damn straight. They're doing me and my crew a favor because we're just cool like that, and they said they'd be proud to suffer the fine, prison sentence or resulting temporal paradox just for us. ^_^ Oh, and they're really sexy ladies too.

[Ioz]

I didn't see the sets in the Best Buy or Target circulars today. That isn't going to help sales any.

[TheCanadiandrome]

maybe Best Buy or Target think it's not that big a deal. which would be foolish on their part.

[gobo]

Got my blatant street date violation today. The catch? My Blu-Ray player isn't hooked up yet. :evil:

[Vegita-San]

maybe Best Buy or Target think it's not that big a deal. which would be foolish on their part.

I checked a good ten stores in the last week and a half and so far only one had it in....but didn't ask them to sell it early..

[ToTheNines]

Got my blatant street date violation today. The catch? My Blu-Ray player isn't hooked up yet. :evil:

I didn't get mine, lucky turd. So do the toys let go of their weapons or not?

[TMNT 100]

I checked Wal-Mart.com and it said they only sell Part 1 and 4 in the Store wtf.

http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_constraint=0&ic=48_0&search_query=TMNT+Season+7

[Archon_Turtle]

I didn't get mine, lucky turd. So do the toys let go of their weapons or not?

No, they do not.

[ToTheNines]

No, they do not.

Damn it. I guess i'll just give 'em to my cousins then.

[Vegita-San]

I'll be up early tomorrow in order to get my copy at the Pre-Ordered place of Best Buy.

First to do tomorrow :).

[TMNT 100]

Does anyone know if the Best Buy in Rochester will have all 4 parts?

[tone-master21]

Does anyone know if the Best Buy in Rochester will have all 4 parts?

According to item in-store checker on the Best Buy website the Best Buy on 2651 S Rochester Rd, Rochester Hills, MI will have all four slices in.

[TMNT 100]

I got the same thing when I called then 20 min. ago. The first thing I hope to do tomorrow is to get all 4 DVDs.

[jmodlin210]

Buy Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Season 7 into four parts on DVD at Amazon.com to increase sales for Lionsgate to release the final seasons of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on DVD to complete the series? When is Lionsgate going to release the final seasons of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on DVD and The Complete Series on DVD? Thank you.

jonny

[gobo]

Tomorrow...

[TheCanadiandrome]

I checked Wal-Mart.com and it said they only sell Part 1 and 4 in the Store wtf.

http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_constraint=0&ic=48_0&search_query=TMNT+Season+7

f*ck! wonder if that applies to Canadian stores as well? :evil: :x

if that's the case, i'll see what CD Plus has. somewhere along the lines i'm getting the dang Season on DVD tomorrow

[Spitfire]

They're not out till tomorrow that's why no one has them. FYI release dates for all DVDs is Tuesday and video games is Wednesday. If you see otherwise I bet the store released them early by mistake.

Anyways I should have mine by Sautrday. I get my stuff sent to a more secure address but from what their shipping info says I should have the package by tomorrow.

[Lil G]

Look what i found for you guys! No need for thanks.

Each DVD here cost only... wait for it... wait for it... $10 w/ shipping! (http://search.deepdiscount.com/search?method=and&p=Q&lbc=deepdiscount&uid=984187027&ts=custom&w=TMNT&af=&isort=price&x=7&y=10)

[Lil G]

[Vegita-San]

[Da5thTurtle]

If you are an Amazon Prime member it is probably cheaper to buy them thru Amazon.

It is up.....Review of the 1993 CBS set when I get home...

[Spitfire]

If you are an Amazon Prime member it is probably cheaper to buy them thru Amazon.

Being a prime member only means you get free 2 day shipping. You'd get free shipping anyways if you bought all 4 because it's over 25 bucks. And if you ordered it a week ago then you should have it by today or tomorrow.

[TheCanadiandrome]

well, i've got them on order from CD Plus, cause the local store says that whoever is in charge was too stupid to send them to the store itself, but i'm still holding out for Wal-Mart to get them. the bad thing about CD Plus, is not knowing if the mini-figs are included

[Shredder]

I changed the thread title to include discussion about the newest OT DVD release(s). I'm thinking that we don't need a separate thread for DVD discussion, but let us know if you think it might be necessary. Anyway, my DVDs haven't come in yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing some OT episodes I've never seen before. :)

[TheCanadiandrome]

you and me both. i don't even think Season 7 aired in Canada. i do recall watching Planet of the Turtleoids, cause the Mini-Technodrome was awesome, but beyond that, i think Canada got shafted, so it'll be good to see some eps never before viewed

[VaughnMichael]

You guys are in for a treat then the cbs episode from this season are some of the best in my honest opinion.

[TheCanadiandrome]

the cbs episode?

[VaughnMichael]

the cbs episode?
My bad episodes is what I mean, here the show aired on cbs.

[TheCanadiandrome]

lol! ok. yeah, CBS aired it in Canada as well. but like i said, i think we some how got shafted out of the final seasons and just got re-runs about to Season 5. gosh, it's so long ago my brain hurts trying to recall ya know :P

[themaxonline]

yeah, Canada only got the Europe episodes of Season 7 that YTV aired maybe once (except Tower Of Power, I remember they aired it during a special on New Years Day 1994. haha!) but other than that, we only got up to Season 5.

I remember watching Seasons 6 and 7 on CBS though and a few from Season 8 but by then, I had lost interest. (how dare me!!!!)

[Deathknight]

Good to hear the Euro Vacation episodes are uncut. I'm waiting for mine to ship from Amazon.

[gobo]

Anyone recognize the third fan on Part 4's featurette? There was Archon, Ivey, then someone I think I should recognize. I'm thinking it's one of the gazillion members here with this completely random string of characters, "R-A-P-H", in his username.

[Ninjinister]

Well, fooey, gobo, you and I pre-ordered from the same place, and I don't have mine yet :(

[Vegita-San]

You guys are in for a treat then the cbs episode from this season are some of the best in my honest opinion.

Personally, I think the 1992 Season had the best well rounded episodes. The 1993 season started out good, but as Soon as James Avery left, all the other episodes just lost the fun factor. I cannot STAND Townsend Coleman as Shredder. There's no heart in the character. At least Jim Cummings take on the character added some humor to him..so I don't mind watching him on the European eps....


I just wish we had more than 2 James Avery European eps :)...

As far as the second half of Season 7, the ones I care for the least, are ones I should like the most. Shredder Triumphant, for instance. Any episode that involves Technodrome action should have been at least 2 parts :). It stays stagnant for so long in the season, you don't want to see it moving for less than 20 minutes :)...

[METALHEAD]

-.- i bought all 4...they were 9:99 each...they sucked me in.

[ToTheNines]

Got mine today, and to save some shelf space I put the discs from slice one and two in the same case, then put the three remaining cases in slice 1's box, then scratched off the "part one". Only problem is... it's still a ****in monster. It's big bright blue, wider and taller than everthing else on that shelf :x

I just wish we had more than 2 James Avery European eps :)...

Yeah Towny sucks at Shredder.

[TMNT 100]

I got the DVDs yesterday at Best Buy. What I’m going to do with the big boxes is throw them away, because the same thing is on the cases.

[gobo]

When I got mine yesterday, I deboxed them to save shelf-space, and donated the mini-figs to my sister's kids. Now I feel less hesitant to junk that fugly, molded Season 4 slip-cover.

[TheCanadiandrome]

-.- i bought all 4...they were 9:99 each...they sucked me in.

dude, where'd you get yours? i got mine from Wal-Mart today, and that's what they cost there. minus the figures though

i loves the Technodrome, so any time there's action, i'm happy. not much love for the Technodrome after Season 7 though

I don't have the DVDs yet, but based on this post, it's probably Goongasnootch.

[twopinacoladas]

I got mine a couple days ago, anyone else think that the quality is down on these? It could be because I just finished watching season 6 which I also bought at the same time. The first 2 season 7 eps seam very much lower quality even compared to season 6 or anything else I remember and I have all of them on DVD 1-7 now except the Raph and Don Slices of 7. Perhaps they were done by another studio I did notice it said A Co-production between IDDH Groupe & Fred Wolf Films. Im not sure I ever noticed that with the regular other seasons.

I just cant help but notice the difference in quality at times it seems hard to watch. I'll keep watching perhaps the later episodes are better quality some of the character drawings and animation... it seems shaky and the characters dont emote as well as normal nor are the mouths in sync as normal. I could probably list other complaints its just off. I must have seen some of these on YTV at some point before as they seem vaugly familuar. Anyway just some minor complaints ;)

edit - it seems as though the quality picked up after the second episode I think I am on the fourth and seems to be much better :)

[METALHEAD]

I noticed that too. I find it totally bizarre that they don't credit any of the voice cast though.

[TheCanadiandrome]

well, i've only watched two episodes so far, and i don't remember seeing either of them. so i come to the conclusion that i've not seen any of Season 7. so i'm excited to see more

[GodzFire]

Of course the quality isn't that great. It's not when Liongate isn't even taking the time to restore these from the original masters. From everything I've read, they are just using some old video tapes.

Gotta love their dedication to the community and getting us the best possible material.

[TMNT 100]

lol so true, and on top of that there putting the episodes in the wong order on some sets, and they even skiped 3 episodes.

I haven't seen it yet, but it sounds like it was me.

How do I look?

[gobo]

Tall, thin, scruffy dude with 'chucks... I believe I've seen a pic of you before, so I'm sure it's you. That's not much 'chucking left in the finished product though... :ohwell:

[Kendamu]

It was actually a last-second addition. He was about finished when I started messin' around with 'em out of boredom and he then started filming.

My girlfriend says it's 'cause I'm a showoff. LOL

Anywho, I'm off to go buy it.

[Jester]

Got mine today at Wally-world for 9.96 each.

I have one thing to say that has nothing to do with the content, but everything to do with the packaging.

I have this weird anal retentive tick where I take the top label off the DVD and stick it on the inside of the case, just in case I trade a disk in, they can reapply the top label...or at least that's my reasoning. That and it's an achievement thing...to peel it off in one piece makes me feel like I accomplished something...i have no life.

That said, I loathe the new "eco-friendly" packaging with the big Recyclable symbol in the middle of the front of the case and the holes under the disk itself. Doesn't seem like it will protect the disk, and it makes the case a lot more flimsy...but it's good for the planet...GO PLANET!!!

Now the other point....THERE WAS A BUNCH OF CRAP BESIDES!!! There was the cardboard outer box, there was the cardboard insert to secure the toy, and of course the toy itself. A lot of wasted cardboard and to some plastic. If they made the point to pack the DVDs in the eco-friendly 20% less plastic cases, why use so much extra garbage. Doesn't it defeat the purpose?

If you're speaking of the European episodes they were produced separately from the other episodes in this set. That's likely the quality difference you are noticing. The European Episodes aired on USA and the rest of them in this set aired on CBS. So you should see the quality back again at "Night of the Dark Turtle."

Of course the quality isn't that great. It's not when Liongate isn't even taking the time to restore these from the original masters. From everything I've read, they are just using some old video tapes.

I've seen this complaint a couple of times, and it doesn't make sense to me, because only about 40% of the episodes were released on videotape.

lol so true, and on top of that there putting the episodes in the wong order on some sets, and they even skiped 3 episodes.

It's not Lionsgate's fault that the episodes are in the wrong order on the "official list" on the ninjaturtles.com site as well (the year six DVD follows a similar but slightly different order, but neither was correct with "Leonardo Is Missing" so far off), although I would think there would be a list from Fred Wolf somewhere around but maybe Lionsgate doesn't feel like trying to find it.

[TheCanadiandrome]

well, i'm two discs down, and two to go, and damn, i don't ever remember watching any of the episodes i've watched so far before ever, but i'm diggin' Season 7 so far

[VaughnMichael]

Got mine today at Wally-world for 9.96 each.
Same, plus my discount woot!
Sadly I had to go to another wal-mart, the one I work at is @ss and didn't get them.

[DrSpengler]

ot mine at Best Buy yesterday. $9.99 a piece.

Threw the boxes and toys away, just kept the cases and the DVDs. Don't need or want that other stuff.

Watching the episodes randomly. I'm kind of glad this is the last of the silly self-referential episodes and next season begins Red Sky and a somewhat darker (though not TOO dark) tone. Since those episodes were never rerun, I haven't seen many of them, so I'm looking forward to it.

You know, a year from now, when Lionsgate decides to put them out.

Anyhow, still no "Planet of the Turtleoids" and "Once Upon a Time Machine". But Lionsgate still has three more season sets to get them out there, maybe as "bonus episodes" or whatever. Here's hoping.

[ToTheNines]

It actually is their fault for not sticking with just one list, wrong as it may be.

[gobo]

Damn straight...

[CyberCubed]

I wish I could watch Planet of the Turtleoids and the Hokum ep on the DVDs.

I've already watched them through "other means" but I still want them on the DVD sets.

Why can't someone do anything about this?

I've seen this complaint a couple of times, and it doesn't make sense to me, because only about 40% of the episodes were released on videotape.

Ahhh duurrrr, I am talking about them not going back to the original masters, and instead using a generational copy.

You know, a year from now, when Lionsgate decides to put them out.

Anyhow, still no "Planet of the Turtleoids" and "Once Upon a Time Machine". But Lionsgate still has three more season sets to get them out there, maybe as "bonus episodes" or whatever. Here's hoping.
BOO!!! could've sold those to me! Fail! :P :roll: :x


You can have mine. I'm too much of a packrat to throw 'em away, but I certainly don't want 'em.

[TheCanadiandrome]

You can have mine. I'm too much of a packrat to throw 'em away, but I certainly don't want 'em.

ok, how much? and are the weapons attached or removable? i just want them for the weapons any way

[gobo]

Whatever shipping comes to... The weapons aren't removable, so do you still want them? I'll donate 'em to charity if not. Want the box covers too to recreate the panorama on your wall?

[Lil G]

Just got the Michelangelo Slice around 12:00 today. I still have to watch the episodes when I have time.:sleep: The Michelangelo toy that came with it is nice, but what can you expect for a toy that comes free with a $15 dollar DVD set?:P But all in all i am satisfied with it. I would recommend these. Gotta go to bed. Gotta big day ahead of me. Look on the bottom of the homepage to see why at 12:00.:D

[ToTheNines]

Season 7 isn't as good as I remembered :ohwell:

I really wish they didn't change the music in seasons 4-7, it was so terrible compared to 1-3.

[Vegita-San]

Anyone else using Power DVD 8 watching these?

Just curious if the Aspect Ratio, at least on the CBS episodes, is messed up. When I go to 'Keep Aspect Ratio', the image is smaller than your standard 4X3 image... It looks seriously squished..

[ToSte]

sweet moses, dont just throw them away!!! i'd be happy to pay shipping to anyone who doesn't want their mini figs. just PM me.

[Sage Ninja]

You guys are in for a treat then the cbs episode from this season are some of the best in my honest opinion.

word! I really agree with this. Season seven is my favorite season of the OT. I bought all the season seven dvds all in one swoop (even though I could have saved that money to pay off a bill further down the line :oops:) I just finished the first two slices with the European episodes and they where...alright. They where entertaining but it was hit and miss with me. The turtles where all over the place on their vaction that didn't make geographical sense to me. Either that or the order of the vaction episodes is out of order or something. :ohwell:

Some of the episodes where good for nostalgic reasons, but there was a few times I wanted to face palm my self. I will say that Raph's alternate really improved from season three and there where a few times where it came across as Rob Paulsen's Raph. But I did like that jim cummings was in this season. I like when he voices one shot characters. However I wasn't so taken with his Shredder, but it was ok.

[Jester]

Watched the Leo slice as I was going to bed....need to finish it later. One thing that I caught that made me laugh was the 1st 2 episodes set in Paris. In the intro episode Shredder found out the Turtles were in Paris, but by the next episode he had forgotten...:P

[CyberCubed]

Season 7 is really good, but I wish it had gotten 26 episodes. I don't really count the 13 European vacation eps as part of the same season.

In any case we get Baxter's final episode of the series this season, as well as Leatherhead's.

Thankfully Casey Jones and Rat King re-appear one last time in Season 8.

[VaughnMichael]

I also laughed about that and the fact that the turtle van was in the paris sewers.:lol:

[Jester]

Seriously, where did they store the Van and the Blimp? That boat had no room for thise....

[Cipher]

Finally picked up the 'proper' Season Seven today. Didn't want to bother with the European vacation episodes as they look largely awful. Not a big fan of the Season Four era.

I'm surprised by the number of episodes I don't remember seeing. On the "Donatello Slice" I only remember "Night of the Dark Turtle" and "Escape from the Planet of the Turtleoids." The first two episodes were average, but "Legend of Koji" was a blast. Nice to see some actual fighting (which makes a triumphant return this season). The "Raph Slice" looks golden, and has some of my favorite episodes from when I was a kid.

And I can't believe some people are actually complaining about the boxes for these things. Why? When I get DVDs, extra boxes and slip-covers hit the trash immediately.

[Spitfire]

I just busted my set open today. I watched most of the Leo disk in the background while I cleaned up a bit and I watched "Invasion of the Krangzoids" while I had some lunch off the Raph disk.

I also watched the special features on both disks. Not to be picky but they suck.

I'll rant about it in private, you've been warned :lol:
I've seen better student work and it boils my piss when someone like myself would have done it better for free and they payed someone to do such a ****** job. The interviews and stuff were fine it was mainly the editing and sound design that were a problem. The audio was mixed like crap for a lot of it and some of the edits were random. Like the end of the toy segment where they start playing some weird ass turtle cover song or something for like 10 seconds and then it cuts to an ad about the turtles toys from the 80's and ends.

They also reused the hell out of the toy footage. Like was it beyond them to show more of the older figures? They interviewed Archon who has everything I see no reason why they couldn't have used close ups of his figures and cut them in instead of showing the same ****** movie figures over and over again. If I remember correctly those were your molds or whatever you call them of Casey and such right Archon? If they didn't mind cross pollinating footage, which an editor should never take issue with, they had no excuse.

Also if you look closely at the 25th logo you can tell they cropped the top of it off in the intro sequence and they show it again later and it looks fine. They also left a box around it for some unknown reason like they were too lazy to cut it out and blur the edges of it. They even went to the trouble of trying to match the background color with the color of the box around the 25th logo image.

It's just annoying. I expect better treatment for the turtles. They talk about die herd fans well you got one right here who doesn't half ass his work. Use them as a resource. I know for a fact I'm not the only member on here either who would be capable of making a short documentary and who'd be able to do a good job on it as well.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Whatever shipping comes to... The weapons aren't removable, so do you still want them? I'll donate 'em to charity if not. Want the box covers too to recreate the panorama on your wall?

nah, as i said i only wanted them for the weapons, and since the weapons aren't removable, it defeats the purpse. and what do the box covers look like?

any way, despite the rantings of some, i'm diggin' Season 7! there's alot of good episodes. i love how i can listen to James Avery as Shredder for some episodes (music to my ears!) than some other lame-oh as Shredder for others. but despite that, not bad

Yeah, I would say about 90% of the shots they used were from my collection. I was actually surprised as to how few shots they used. They took a good 20 minutes of collection footage. I was shocked that they used so many shots of my bootlegs in the playmates reel lol.

[Tuxedo Moroboshi]

You can have mine. I'm too much of a packrat to throw 'em away, but I certainly don't want 'em.

Do you have all four of them? Since TMNT_25 doesn't want them, I'd like to state that I'm interested. ;)

So, how 'bout it?

You know, I'm glad I'm not the noly one who noticed the quality. Especially the video quality. It looks like it was recorded with a DVD camera in some spots. Your Basic 1920X1080 HD Camcorders are so cheap these days with entry level units, along with basic entry level pro-sumer mics, that there is no reason they could not have sprung for good equipment.

If anything, it'd look good for a demo video they might show to future clients.....I dunno why, but I Seem to remember the previous sets extras looking and sounding far better than this, so what happened? It's the same company...

BTW, did anyone notice that Turtle add at the beginning of all the discs? When they still shot on each turtle, the photoshop job is so bad, you can see Raphael's head is chopped off, and loads of white surrounding him. Not to mention the still image quality is REALLY bad!

Don't you just love how everyone that gets involved with the turtles does a half assed job these days? Is the economy REALLY that bad?




BTW: It ALMOST looks like the European episodes where animated in 1992, but they used the same animation company from the 1990 season. The Europ eps had some of the best and smoothest animation the series has ever had. Very few mistakes, no cutting on frame rates, smooth transitions. Some of my favorite episodes in the series are from this season as well. Rust Never Sleeps, Ring of Fire, April Gets in Dutch. 'A Diamond to cut through Dimensions? Even Bebop and Rocksteady wouldn't buy that!' 'Oooh, Paris! Isn't that where all that plaster comes from?' 'No, you fool, it's where French Fries come from!' One of the few times Krang was stupider than Bebop and Rocksteady in knowledge :).

[Cipher]

Oh, Krangezoids, we barely knew ye. Wish they'd gotten another episode.

Also, in "Revenge of the Fly," did the Turtles knock the Retro-Mutagen Gun out of Baxter's hands just before he could use it to cure himself? What the hell? No redemption for Baxter, I guess.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Baxter = FAIL!

any way, wow, i'm on the last disc of Season 7 and i'm digging it. "Night of the Rogues" was soooo good! it was awesome to see so many classic baddies return. brought a tear to my glass eye! :D

[JoeD80]

I am talking about them not going back to the original masters, and instead using a generational copy.

All you said was "they are just using some old videotapes" (exact quote). Am I supposed to be a mind-reader and figure out that you somehow meant "VHS copies that an editor made" or "somebody's home tapes" or "SVHS given to Group W" vs. "Old FHE tapes"? Saying I've heard this complaint before and picking one of those choices (Old FHE tapes) hardly warrants the response of

Another reason why I loved the Krangezoid ep. Not only did we see something I never thought we'd get a gander at, his original body, but we now know why everything in the Technodrome is huge! You'd think that Krang would study the readings and regenerate his own body back. He'd be a SERIOUS threat...

You'd think things would get a little awkward every time Shredder throws around the phrase "wretched reptiles."

But instead we got Dregg. And that's...okay, I guess.

um, that was his "real body"? really? i thought it was just the clones of him mutating out of control. plus he said his body was taken from him, so how could the Krangezoid form be his real body. would decapitation kill Krang in that case? someone better explain to me

[Cipher]

plus he said his body was taken from him, so how could the Krangezoid form be his real body. would decapitation kill Krang in that case? someone better explain to meThe answer makes about as much sense as the way you phrased that question.

"Losing body and leaving only a brain" = Nonsense cartoon logic. Just accept it.

[TheCanadiandrome]

well, not sure about that. but i did research it and it seems as though not everyone agrees that's the case. any way, i also had no idea that Tokka and Rahzar were in the cartoon. only thought they were in the movie. that's cool

[Kendamu]

Is there a screencap of Krang's real body?

[Luke795]

Did anyone else notice that the Attack of the Neutrinos episode intro was the shortened version?

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y132/Jesterangelo/PDVD_078.jpg

[Deathknight]

The story of why Krang is just a brain was never consistant. They probably never thought of exactly what Krang's old "body" really was. If you watch Three Musketurtles it shows a flashback of Krang and 2 look-alikes in bubble walkers where as in Invasion of the Krangezoids it shows him as an actual alien-like lifeform. Also with the shortened intro, they're just showing it how it originally aired on CBS. Every episode on all the sets that has had the shortened intro did so when it originally aired. I have episodes recorded off of CBS with it and the same ones on the DVD sets have it.

[Jester]

Thanks Death Knight. I was wondering what episode had the Krang aliens in it, one with a mustache.

That is one sweet stache

[gobo]

Despite the innumerous, moronic inconsistencies in the series, the simple fact of the matter is that David Wise had originally intended for Krang to be the disembodied brain of a Dimension X warlord. It was said in ep 4, the first significant exposition of Krang's origins. And, guess what. David Wise wrote the Krangezoids ep too.

[Jester]

To quote the Neutrinos:
Leonardo: Who is this Krang?
Dask: The supreme warlord of Dimension X, man. Only he got exiled to another universe.
Zak: And his body got split, man. And now he's just this way-out brain.

[TheCanadiandrome]

yeah, it kind of implies that he had an android body before, at least to me. but the whole lizard-like thing just doesn't seem to work. cause when you think about it, that would mean Krang is a head without a body, not a brain

[gobo]

I always figured that meant that krangezoids have exoskeletons, like insects. So, decapitation + de-exoskellification = disembodied brain.

[Blade Raider]

That's fanboy logic talking. I like it!:evilgrin:

Btw, are the disc split evenly with the Europe only on parts 1 and 2 and Season 7 on 3 and 4? I'm thinking of putting 1 and 2 between Volume 6 and Season 4 if their split right.

[gobo]

Btw, are the disc split evenly with the Europe only on parts 1 and 2 and Season 7 on 3 and 4?
Yep. LG doesn't get enough credit for the things they get right.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I always figured that meant that krangezoids have exoskeletons, like insects. So, decapitation + de-exoskellification = disembodied brain.

i don't know, that sounds good and all. but when you look at the Krangesoids, even with that explaination, they still would look nothing like the Krang we all know. plus i still don't buy the whole, "he was a giant Lizard" thing.

they explain it as it being something to do with the cloning process, maybe the clones got mutated some how, and thus they turned into giant lizards. mutations do happen in cloning, so it's possible. plus Krang never said, that was his original form.

[Jelly Bean]

am I the only one who thought the first half of season seven sucked? The voices where annoying.

[Cipher]

am I the only one who thought the first half of season seven sucked? The voices where annoying.By "first half," do you mean the European vacation episodes (which were produced along with season four but aired with season seven) or the first seven episodes of season seven proper?

If it's the former, I agree. If it's the latter, I disagree although Shredder's replacement is glaring.

[Deathknight]

Some of the European vacation episodes are good and some are just really bad. Artless is by far the worst OT episode IMO.

[ToTheNines]

although Shredder's replacement is glaring.

I found him to be really inconsistent. Some times I wouldn't even notice, other's i'd be "SHUT THA **** UP!"

Artless is one of my favorites of the series :). The ones I absolutely hate are Northern Lights Out and more importantly, Elementry, My Dear Turtle. I find the Hokum Hair eps far more watchable than those two :).

[Spitfire]

Artless is by far the worst OT episode IMO.

I don't know man the baby turtles episodes are pretty painful.

Nothing is worse than the Turtle Terminator. I like the pop culture references, but c'mon now. Also features TWO alternate voice actors, terrible animation, and Irma-centric story and an ending written by a 5 year-old (either David Carren or J. Larry Carroll, probably little Davey).

[Jester]

Why didn't Jim Cummings do Shredder in season 7 instead of Townsend. Jim did a great job in the European Vacation episodes, he should have been Shredder in 7 Proper.

Well I know that Jim Cummings did the voice of Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog in 1993 the same year as season 7.

[TheCanadiandrome]

The Fresh Prince of Bel Aire happened.

hmm, so is that the only reason, or was it some kind of dispute? seems to me he could've done two shows easily

[Deathknight]

I don't mind the baby turtle episodes or Turtle Terminator. At least they had Shredder, Bebop, and Rocksteady to fall behind. A lot of the time I really hate the corny side villains they get in episodes without them. I actually thought Adventures in Turtle Sitting had a lot of really funny moments in it and found it highly enjoyable. Turtle Terminator also had a few good moments in it. "What humilation, the future ruler of the universe reduced to eating Chinese take out!" Though I will admit Irma was exceptionally annoying in that episode.

[ToTheNines]

hmm, so is that the only reason, or was it some kind of dispute? seems to me he could've done two shows easily

I remember reading that Shredder was rough on his throat.

[Vegita-San]

hmm, so is that the only reason, or was it some kind of dispute? seems to me he could've done two shows easily

Judging from my knowledge, out of all the people we've talked to over the years, is that either Fred Wolf, or the animation company that was not apart of Fred Wolf Films, ruled things with an iron fist. Maybe one reason why in the Europe eps we get Vernon making cracks about cartoon producers as an inside joke.

from what I gather, the execs did not treat the cast very well, and where told if they missed even one show, they could be replaced instantly. Hence, Rob Paulsen finally had enough of it and left the show in the last season. My guess is that Fresh Prince was paying James a whole lot more than turtles, gave him more exposure, and the atmosphere was far more fun...so after a while, he just let his contract expire.

Although, little known fact, in our interview he told us that he auditioned for Shredder in the new show.

I just wish that 4Kids, if they get the old cast for the rumored DTV in the new movie, go back and re-record the eps they all missed for a complete set. As mentioned in the 'Ghostbusters Game' webisodes, they CAN go back and process your voice to sound like it did 10-15 years ago, just so long as the acting is there....so it is do-able to have it all mesh in..

[Archon_Turtle]

hmm, so is that the only reason, or was it some kind of dispute? seems to me he could've done two shows easily

Well...Fred Wolf is pretty notorious for being....volatile...when it comes to business dealings...so nothing would surprise me really.

[CyberCubed]

It really bothers me to see such talented actors treated in such a manner because their voicing cartoons instead of live-action.

I guess they feel cartoons aren't important, despite the fact that even young kids recognize when voices change in their favorite shows.

[JoeD80]

hmm, so is that the only reason, or was it some kind of dispute? seems to me he could've done two shows easily

There was a Rob Paulsen interview I read once from the time that he ended up leaving the show in the last season where he was asked about James Avery, and IIRC, the reason he left was because Fresh Prince had become more popular so he had to spend more time with promotion of that show.


from what I gather, the execs did not treat the cast very well, and where told if they missed even one show, they could be replaced instantly. Hence, Rob Paulsen finally had enough of it and left the show in the last season.

That's pretty close but not all the details. From the same Rob Paulsen interview I mentioned above he stated his reason for leaving. He wanted to get raises for everyone in the cast in the last season after having worked for so many years on the show, but they refused and told him they would be able to replace him and the kids wouldn't care or notice. Rob thanked them and left.

[Jester]

And I noticed.....:P
Sorry, Rob Paulsen was my favorite cast member. He's what made me a Raphie Fan Boy.

Well...Fred Wolf is pretty notorious for being....volatile...when it comes to business dealings...so nothing would surprise me really.

Finally broke down and got the sets yesterday mostly because I lucked out earlier this week in finding the Planet of the Turtloids VHS. Great episode and I glad I stuck with finding it (Now if they'd just put it on DVD...).

Anyways, I see (or should that be hear?) what people are saying about the VA subs. Whoever is subing for Rob Paulsen in the Europe episodes is just terrorable. I swear his voice changes everytime he talks too. Is he in all of Europe episodes?

Jim Cummings as Sherdder is great. I instantly noted it wasn't James Avery, but from then on I could bearly tell it wasn't him. I didn't even notice Avery was voicing him again until half through the episode he switched back in (I've only watched the first two episodes so far). While I'll always want Avery, Cummings is a great sub for him. I swear I've hear him use this voice before somewhere else though. Maybe it's just a variant of his Pete or Leatherhead voices or something. He played to many things to keep track of all them.

So, when does Townsend Coleman take over? I know it's somewhere in season 7, but not sure when.


EDIT: I don't want to start a Planet of the Turtloids thread just to be spamed by Liongate hate (including my own), so I'll ask here...

What was Wise smoking to make Tattoo a hamster mutant? By no stretch of my imagination does that make any sense. Seriously, WTF?! I so wish I could go to Botcon this year to ask Wise that single thing.

Wonder if this VHS was more common before the Liongate screw up...


Watched all the extras today. What's with the random clips that have nothing to do with anything? Out of the extas, I think the toy one is by far the weakest (and shortest). Pretty good for the most part. They just need a shorter intro and get rid of the nonsense clips.

Also, finished watching Rust Never Sleeps and that's one of the most pointless episodes I've ever seen. It wasn't a terrorable episode, but watching it next to Tower of Power makes me feel like the show's trying to insult my intelligence. I really believe Wise when he says he doesn't write down to kids after seeing this crappy episode. Now to say something nice about the episode...I like that they have weapons colored like the toy's weapon and kudos to whoever forge those weapons becuse they work even better rusted:lol:

[JoeD80]

So, when does Townsend Coleman take over? I know it's somewhere in season 7, but not sure when.

Watching in the order on the DVD it's at "Attack of the Neutrinos."

[CyberCubed]

I love how April just so happens to be doing news stories in Europe just 'cause the Turtles are vacationing there. :p

Oddly enough, eBay.

Wow man, good deal. I payed a about $5 for that VHS alone back before the DVD sets came out. It was brand new though.

[gobo]

This is what they call "Shameless Self Promotion." (http://gogreenmachine.wordpress.com/2009/05/22/classic-toon-season-7-dvd-review/)
Correction, J-man: James Avery was in at least two of the Euro-Cruise eps ("RUST NEVER SLEEPS" and "A REAL SNOW JOB" [is there anyway you can not think of this title as a perverted pun? Seriously, what else could it mean?]) Anyway, I say "at least" because I'm still slowly tredging through them, cataloging them along the way (since no one else will). I've just finished "THE IRISH JIG IS UP" and I need a long break. If any of the Euro-Cruise eps are truly embarassing, it would be that one. From Lil' Rocky sounding exactly like Lil' Leo to dimensional portals having tentacles all of a sudden, it's the one that's always turned my stomach the most.

how were the other two tapes ya got?

[CyberCubed]

So almost done watching the Europe eps, Raph's voice isn't that bad depending on the lines.

Sometimes he does do a good job with Raph's quirks, but some of the others fall a bit flat. Bit unfortunate, but at least he's not as bad as the two Season 3 eps he was in.

Also anyone notice Raph doesn't even get that many lines per episode? I notice that when I actually pay attention to how many times Raph says something per ep, its honestly only like 5-6 lines. Most of the dialouge is done by Donatello, and all the other screentime is eaten up by Shredder/Bebop/Rocksteady or April/Irma/Vernon.

Pretty interesting.

[TheCanadiandrome]

i laugh at the little mistakes that are made, like the random changing of their colors. one minute Leo's Blue, the next he's red or purple, and the same for Rapheal.

[CyberCubed]

I love the Triceratons, shame they're only in 1 episode. I'm surprised it took them all the way until Season 7 to give them an episode though.

You'd think with all the various aliens in all those older episodes, they'd use the Triceratons in some of them, its strange they didn't use them for so long.

I think they also should have brought Lotus Blossom back and said that her real name was Karai.

[gobo]

Lotus predates Karai. If either one of these characters was the rip-off, it was Karai.[/frustrated]

[Vegita-San]

Agreed. There are some scenes in Exodus Part 1/2 that Karai REALLY reminds me of lotus in voice especially. I wonder if that's where the inspiration for Karai came from...

[Cipher]

I have to say this about once a month.

Lotus Blossom and Karai in the comics have absolutely nothing in common besides being female ninjas.

And if you think the writers of the 4Kids cartoon mined inspiration from obscure episodes of the 1987 show, you're way off base. It's just that a conflicted(!) Karai was the only way to fit her into the structure of the 4Kids story. 4Kids Karai and Lotus Blossom are both just common conflicted(!) archetypes. Don't look into it.

Maybe I should have been clearer in that post.. Did Karai appear in the comic first or TV show? I can't seem to recall where Peter stated the inspiration for Karai came from...


Who's looking into it? Besides, they DO have fans of the old show on staff, you know. So it's probably not a total co-incidence that the Karai Leo affiliation isn't a nod of the hat..

[gobo]

Lotus Blossom appeared in the classic 'toon circa '89. Karai first appeared in the City At War arc of the Mirage comics circa '93.

[Cipher]

Maybe I should have been clearer in that post.. Did Karai appear in the comic first or TV show? I can't seem to recall where Peter stated the inspiration for Karai came from...I garuntee you the inspiration didn't come from Lotus Blossom because if you read "City at War" the characters are absolutely nothing alike.

Peter Laird has made it pretty clear that he didn't follow the old toon either.

Who's looking into it? Besides, they DO have fans of the old show on staff, you know. So it's probably not a total co-incidence that the Karai Leo affiliation isn't a nod of the hat..A possiblity? Sure. But both 4Kids Karai and Lotus Blossom are such huge stock characters that it's far more likely a coincidence.

agreed. and it's kinda funny that they even bothered to make a Triceraton figure considering like u said, they were only in the one episode, and not very long at that

[gobo]

Not really all that strange... They made more than a few dozen figures that didn't appear in any TMNT continuity, not even counting the infinite Turtle variants.

[CyberCubed]

I like how Shredder seems more ruthless in Season 7, he's not as bumbling as he was in Season 4 or the European episodes.

It's a shame that once the show started becoming more action oriented...there wasn't much of the show left. I wish it could have gone on even longer.

[DonatelloFan]

I just bought Parts 3 and 4. And yeah, like a lot of people have been saying, the Dark Turtle episode was great. So far, I've watched the first 4 episodes on the Donatello slice, and they do seem more action oriented, like in the beginning.

I love it. There are still silly jokes, and 4th wall breaking humor, but the action got pumped up a little bit. I was almost getting tired of seeing tons of episodes with little to no action. I loved the Dark Turtle episode though, because it was almost nothing BUT action. They actually destroyed Foot Soldiers with WEAPONS!!!

All in all, the European episodes, well, I got tired of them real quick, but so far, the 2nd half of the set is looking promising. And the special feature on the Donatello slice was nicer than the first two.

[TheCanadiandrome]

yeah that's true

[VaughnMichael]

The way things worked back in the day with the figures is that people from mirage like Peter Laird, Ryan Brown & Mike Dooney would submit a crap load of ideas to Playmates and they would go back and forth until Playmates would green light the concept.
There are endless amounts of characters that had been created just for the toy line that never saw it past the basic idea stages.
And on the other hand there are tuns of great characters from the show that should have been given the plastic treatment atleast by todays standards.

[TheCanadiandrome]

yeah i agree with u on that one

[gobo]

Still waiting on my Howie Hardy figure... :ohwell:

Those being:

• Alpha One
• Baxter Stockman Human
• Bugman
• Don Tortelli
• Granitor
• Kerma
• Killer Pizza Monsters
• Lotus Blossom
• Mother Mouser
• Pinky McFingers
• Polarisoid
• Rasputin
• Rex-1
• Roadkill Rodney
• Rocksolider
• Tempestra
• Zach The 5th Turtle

To a lesser extent:

• Carter
• Hi-Tech
• Lord Dregg
• Mung
• Titanus
• Turtle Mutations

And some those could have used a video game as an excuse:

• Armaggon
• Shogun
• Torra
• War

[Dark 5cythe]

Season 7 has to be one of the best seasons ever! So many Toy characters its great! And its great to revist mondo gecko and the frogs.

[CyberCubed]

I do love how Season 7 brought back some of the shows past characters for one last time.

Outside of Shredder/Krang/Bebop/Rocksteady, only Rat King and Casey Jones re-appear in Season 8.

Also say goodbye to the Channel 6 news crew, they're only in the first ep of Season 8 if I remember correctly.

[Dark 5cythe]

are you serious? When Lord dregg shows up, we dont see april and them anymore? What happens to shredder anyway?

I always felt the show jumped the shark after season 1, but I enjoyed the sillyness. Is season 8 where it just gets boring?

[CyberCubed]

April's in the entire rest of the show, but the rest of Channel 6 gets phased out for obvious reasons.

Lord Dregg doesn't come till Season 9. Shredder/Krang are in Season 8, absent in Season 9, get one last 3-parter in Season 10.

I enjoyed the last 3 seasons a lot, so I think the show ended fairly decently. Keep in mind the "Red Sky" eps are only 24 episodes long.

[Desslok]

I've also really been enjoying Season 7, the stories are really great and the action is undeniably great. The only thing I haven't liked is that James Avery is missing from this point on. It is my greatest wish that Lionsgate could get James Avery to come back and redub the Shredder's parts in at least the three parter in Season 10 and include it on the DVD as a special bonus feature or an alternate audio track. That three parter is fun, but would be so much better with Avery in the mix.

[DonatelloFan]

Yeah, good luck with THAT. Lionsgate can't even put decent special features on any of their TMNT dvd's. I wish it would happen, but Lionsgate sucks.

But, I'm with you. And, welcome to the board.

[Desslok]

I know it's near impossible, but there's nothing wrong with hopeless dreaming. :lol:

Oh, and thanks for the welcome!

[TheCanadiandrome]

so true. there's nothing wrong with hopeless dreaming. TMNT fans have been doing it since season 1 came out on dvd :D

To end the discussion about Krang's original body a few pages back:

I was rewatching "Invasion of the Krangezoids" this morning, and caught the following bit of dialogue. It's not exact, but it went something along these lines:

Michelangelo: "Why're those little Krangs growing bodies? Krang doesn't have a body."

Donatello: "Yeah, but he used to."

Michelangelo: "That's right! It was taken away from him when he was banished from Dimensin X!"

Donatello: "Right, and the clone bodies have that information, like how some lizards can regrow body parts."

So, it is strongly, strongly implied that the Krangezoids do share Krang's original body.

And, I realized that they actually do call Shredder out on his "Wretched reptiles!" bit. Wonder why that was never a source of contention between him and Krang.

[CyberCubed]

I always wished the old toon had a flashback of how Shredder and Krang met for the first time.

It's a shame it never happened. I imagine Krang crash-landed on Earth in a ship while Shredder was still in Japan, and Krang promised Shredder technology "beyond his wildest dreams" and of course Shredder agreed.

[gobo]

Scratch the ship part, and I'd think the same thing. He was more likely deshelled, then shoved through a portal. Dimension X being just a galaxy was only for the Archie books, BTW.

Its weird I just bought part four and just watched Invasion of the Krangezoids this morning.
I was wondering if theres ever been any other mention of this?

Finally finshed season 7 a week or so ago and got a few comments.

The Legend of Koji: They fixed the sirname of Shredder. It's now correctly Oroku and not Saki like in "My Brother, the Bad Guy". Continuum errors! Hurry!

Night of the Rogues: Was great, but why do they act like they know Scumbug from previous episode? They seem to treat Antrax as if they don't know him, so it's a little annoying. Tempestra also feels out of place in the group. Guess they wanted at least one female.

Revenge of the Fly: I was liking this episode until the Turtles turned into jackasses near the end. Baxter was going to change himself back to human and it would have all been over...BUT NOOOO...the Turtles had to stop him from, you know, curing himself and send him back to limbo...again.

Dirk Savage: Mutant Hunter: They missed the chance for tons of toy cameos (Highcourt, anyone?). I also noticed Jim Cummings was Dirk Savage. Made me wonder why he didn't repise Leatherhead in "Night of the Rogues." Whatever, Rahzer's the bomb! He's my new favorite OT mutant. I thought I wouldn't like Tokka and Rahzer talking normally, but it worked out very well.

Invasion of the Krangazoids: I like the episode, but I'm in the lot that believes the Krangazoids are not how Krang's body looks. Mostly because I just don't like how they look and their vague enough about it that it could be either.

I like how this season brings back a lot of old characters and a lot that I never thought made it into the show. I enjoyed this season more than 6 and definitely more than the Europe episodes.

[TheCanadiandrome]

yeah Blade, right there with ya! and i can't wait for Season 8

[CyberCubed]

I thought Season 6 was just as good as Season 7. The stories were great and there was more action in it than Season 5.

Season 5 oddly has the least amount of fighting in it than any of the other seasons. I guess the censors were cracking down hard on the writers during that season? It was at the mid-point of TMNT's popularity...

[tmntgoldcoin]

Im so glad I found this thread. I really PO'd me that they broke this season up. Im not buying it until they remove the figures and put all 4 together.

[ToTheNines]

You might be able to find that deal on ebay. But if you mean "they" as in Lionsgate... not happening.

Versions without the figures already are out there, but putting them together is very, very, very unlikely.

[ToTheNines]

Now that you mention it, I remeber seeing those online. But here's the catch, they cost more :lol:

Only because the figure ones were on sell :P

Even then, it's not much cheaper and I don't think any retailers carries it.

[sdp]

Random question, can I still buy them from Amazon with figures?


I moved to Mexico City before this set came out and I have the bad luck that the next volume had figures... I don't know if they will always be there or be like the slip covers that you only got if you bought the first printing.

[AleXviD]

Anyone have pictures of inserts of this Season 7 (http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/releases/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Season-7-Complete/9296) edition? And btw, does every single disc editions (volume 1-6) comes with slipcase or was it just for 1 (embossed) and 5 (holographic)?
