TMNT action figures =)

[Raphael]

Out of all the TMNT figs that you owned/own what was your favourite?
*looks to shelf* Ah..my favourites were the TMNT Mutations. I have all of the TMNT from that series; Leo (http://www.ninjaturtles.com/toys/1992/mutatinl.htm), Raph (http://www.ninjaturtles.com/toys/1992/mutatinr.htm), Mikey (http://www.ninjaturtles.com/toys/1992/mutatinm.htm) & Don (http://www.ninjaturtles.com/toys/1992/mutatind.htm).

*gets Raph off shelf and mutates him* Damn, they're just too cool!

What was your favourite series of TMNT figs?

[Mica]

DAMN? my FAVE? That's tough.. I'd have to say the Universal Studios Monsters hold a special place in my heart because they glow in the dark! (and the ones that don't {invisble mike, bride of frankie april, etc..} are just cool anyway) But the NT:TNM figs and movie tmnt (w/ REAL FEEL TURTLE SKIN!) are too awesome too :wink:

~Mica

[HorseTechie]

Oh yeah! Movie Star Turtles were my first favorites! I bought those when they first came out.

Then last year I was at Lisardo's house, when I noticed she had these Leo and Raph figures that looked like the Mirage turtles, and could backflip. He Leo always landed on his feet, while the Raph didn't. :razz: Anyways, I immediately fell in love with those "Ninja Action" figures too.

And then the unusual Donatello figure I got as a prize was a Spring Action one. They are hard plastic, and looks like they have been pumped up on steriods. All the joints are connected with springs so you can make it look like they are kicking and punching. :lol:

[Mica]

Those Coil action (the springy springy steriods turtlez) are SCARY! I *finally* have a Leo (decided to break down and FINALLY spend the $3.50 for him after seeing him for months at the flea market) and I'm afraid I'll break him.. Coil Force was one of the few figures I remeber being in toy stores (what can I say, I'm a late bloomer when it comes to my TMNT obsession, I never wanted them 'til the end) but I decided to buy the dino TMNT instead of the coil force.. and I like the Dino-TMNT better :grin:

As for the Ninja Action ones... (the miragish ones that can flip) I loved them, but I've always had a hankering to take one of them apart and try to make it work better (put a new suction cup of something in there) I guess that's just my Donnie side..

I love the THUNDER THRASHER NT:TNM Turtles :smile: FINALLY, Turtles with decent looking clothes without the grossout factor of the origanal series or the skin tight of the orig series. I esp liked Venus with Raver pants :grin: hee hee

~Mica

[HorseTechie]

Hah.. trust me, I haven't broke Spring Donnie yet! He's been made fun of by my husband (wondering where his dick was), played by Lisa, had his joins pulled on to the max by me, fell off my work PC a few times (gnad office janitors), and even went back to the Detroit Con in 2001. Tokka donated him as a prize for the 2000 Turtle Con, so of course my Spring Donny is special. I'll take him over a plushie anyday! :grin:

Ohh.. and Spring Donny does have screws too... :evilgrin:

My bro and I used to unscrew our Transformers and totoally take them them apart to see who could put there's all the way back together again. I guess just transforming them wasn't exciting anymore. :lol:

[SQUiD]

I lost all of mine!

[Mica]

Well, I'm trusting you then HosieTortle. And I'm coming after you with my shovel if you lied and Leo breaks! :lol: BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

All this action figure talk is getting me thinking about changing up my figs ont he desk (which means putting away the ones I have up, and getting out new ones to display for a while) Maybe I'll put some Xmen Evo ones up there... hmmm...

~Mica (*still giggling over posing Nightcrawler and Toad to be saying "wasssuuuuuuuuuuuup" to each other* But they really do look that way! Honest!)

[HorseTechie]

*hehe* Yeah... I had Movie Donnie on my work PC for the first year I was here... but that skin fo his relaly liked to attract the dust. Turtle hair... that's a wicked invention, Don!!

So then I put Springy Donny ontop of my monitor last summer, leaning on a little Xerox machine stress-squeezer toy. When I get my Ninja Action Raph... I'l have him and Donny face off. :grin:

[Mica]

Turtle Hair?? Whatcha mean?

LOL! So right now it's SPRIONGY DON VS THE ZEROX MACHINE! :wink: hee hee I've got 3 of the 4 Turtle Balls on top of my Monitor. Mikey Ball, Donnie Ball, and Raph Ball and a dead furby. And they do get fairly dusty... prolly cuz i forget they are up there :wink:

~Mica

[HorseTechie]

What it means: Turtle hair! (yeah, so there's some really long dust particles floating around at work)

[Mica]

gah, i have this wierd image in my head of Don all furry... like WEREWOLF DON! :lol: hee hee

~Mica

[Machias Banshee]

Turtle balls?

I am scared...

[Mica]

Oh you dirty little girl, Machy! :lol:

http://members.aol.com/TMNTNyar/balls.jpg
*THESE* balls! :wink:

Not THOSE balls...

~Mica (who scared Raph when she told him she had turtle balls on top of her computer.. he asked "like trophies or what?" :evilgrin: )

[Machias Banshee]

Ah, my virgin eyes!!!
*covers eyes*
Oh wait...
*uncovers eyes*

Those are cute! Befun to juggle some turtle balls around.

*hides from bad joke bappage*

[HorseTechie]

hehe.. sure beats the Turtle nuts!

[Mica]

ROFL! I wanna make those Turtle Nuts! I have the walnuts now... hmm... now if I can only find the instructions? Anyone have a copy of them?

~Mica

[Machias Banshee]

ummm....

oh, I'm on ebay right now, and they have some action figs up for grabs, including a splinter or two!!!

[Kali]

The one's from the mailing list? I think I kept that message.

[Mica]

cool kali, can you cut and paste it into here?

~Mica

[HorseTechie]

Yeah.. ebay ALWAYS has TMNT figures of some sort for sale. ;p

Well Mica.. the best advice I can give yah os to go sorting through the Topica and or NTML Yahoogroups message files to find the instructions.

[Kali]

Here you go. How to make Turtle Nuts.

makes 1 turtle
You need:
1 whole walnut (in the shell)
12 small green fuzzy balls
1 medium-size green fuzzy ball
3 inches of ribbon, (Blue, Red, Orange, or Purple)
2 googly eyes
1 gluegun
1 adult or person authorized to use gluegun

Take 3 small fuzzy balls and glue them together in a straight line.
Repeat 3 more times. these are arms and legs.
Glue these onto the walnut, the pointy end should be down (ie: tail)
Glue the medium fuzzy ball onto the round end of the walnut (where the
stem breaks off). This is the head.
Take a piece of ribbon (choose your fave!) and wrap it around the head
and glue it in place. trim excess or leave it as it is, your choice.
Glue the googly eyes to the ribbon.

if you want, you can use leather thong or other odds and ends for belt
+ accessories.

[Machias Banshee]

Aw, that is soo cute!!! I dont have any walnuts tho... green apples?
*tries it*
nope, too fat...

[Mica]

looks like fuuun :grin: Yay! I'm gonna try it.. I'll show you guys when I'm finished

~Mica

[HorseTechie]

*ut-oh* I dunno if I have "1 adult or person authorized to use gluegun" *waaaa*

[Mica]

GLUUUUEEEE GUNNN!! :wink: My dad holsters one of those on his belt! *G* (well, not really, but just about) He is a florist, so he uses it in his work a lot. He believes everything in the world can be fixed with a little hot glue and duct tape. :wink:

You could always use Crazy glue instead, HT.. it's CRAAAAAZY!... but hmm.. I'm not sure that's safe *has this image of HT trying to drive to the hospital with her hand glued to her cheek and spoingy donnie glued onto her other hand* ut-oh...

~Mica

[Machias Banshee]

You could use foam balls, toothpicks, and pipecleaners? That's how i want to do some of my dinosaur sculptures. Wel, i actualy use bread and garbage twisties...

*sees everyone looking at her weird*
I;ll shut up now...

*snickers*
Oh fiddle sticks. I was never very good at arts and crafts. Though and friend and I once made the Eiffel tower out of popsicle sticks and toothpicks for art class...that was fun. Lots of work, but fun. We even had a GI Joe fig sitting on one of the levels of the Tower :lol:

:lol: That was gonna be my next suggestion *has an American Pie 2 flashback*

Hrm... I need a nut too! Heck... I can make one out of leather scraps and ribbon from my model horse stuffs. Too bad I have to finiosh these final projects by the end of this month...

[Mica]

blow off finals! TMNT Nuts are more important! :grin: j/k Good luck on your finals...

I always have walnuts around, I love them!! (what can I say, I'm a bit squirrelly) but I'm not sure I wanna use a whole one :sad: I WANNA EAT IT! .. well, we'll see...

~Mica (gunna get around to this project one of these days)

[Skeletoncrew]

Hey, this is sorta back on topic... Does anyone have any tips for action figure maintanence?

I bought some used ones and they feel kinda greasy to me. I figure washing them with soap and water should be save, shouldn't it?

And...they've also got some paint damage. Anyone know what sort of paints people who customize action figures use?

[Mica]

dudette, soap and water work good. also, a soft bristled toothbrush works wonders... :wink: As for paint, use the model builders paint that they sell in the same isle they sell the model kits (it comes in tiny lil bottles about the size of nail polish) BTW, DON'T use nail polish. test it on a action fig that you have 2 of to make sure it dries to the right color when applied to plastic. (I use a don that's missing his left arm for this, you should see him, he's VERY colorful :wink:

~Mica

[Skeletoncrew]

Thanks Mica! Now I can pretty up my action figs! Hee hee hee!

[RaphRockz]

thanks, Now I can do a little sprucing to a couple of old figs i found.

[Skeletoncrew]

Okay, here's another action figure refurbishing question. The model paint comes in enamel and acrylic. Does either kind work? (I never really got into painting and the one class I took years ago was purely oil paints.) And what about brush cleaning, will I need anything special for that?

[Skeletoncrew]

*bump!*

So did no one have an opinion on enamel v. acrylic?

[Mica]

namek.. I have looked all over my bottle... but i've never heard of enamel or acrylic model pain. Mine's just professional model paint. I'll ask at the comic shop when i go (Mr. Comic guy does a lot of models and action figure refurbishings too :wink: ) hmmm...

~Mica

[Skeletoncrew]

Hmmm...interesting. I got mine at work (Wal-mart bleh).

[Skeletoncrew]

I found this on page 18 of the latest ToyFare. Its accompanied by a cut-out graphic of Michaelangelo from the cover of TMNT #2.

Turtle Time?

Turtles live a long time, so rest assured that the mega-popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles property is still alive, kickin’ and ready to pop out of its shell for a big comeback in the entertainment world…and possibly toys

“Mirage has renewed its master toy license agreement with our original and one-and-only toy company, Playmate Toys,” said Mirage CEO Gary Richardson

With the Turtles returning to comics with a bang, thanks to Mirage’s new bi-monthly, black and white TMNT comic by co-creator Peter Laird and penciler Jim Lawson, the next question is obvious; where are the turtle toys?

“At this point, new toys will most likely be based on new entertainment, whether movie, TV, direct-to-video, or video games,” said Richardson about the prospect of upcoming toys.

Now would be the time to blow the dust off those nunchucks. Turtle Power!

[Mica]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!! TOYFARE!! what ish #? I PICK UP! eyes gotz to go annoy comic guy again anyway tomarrow becuz i picked up the wrong ish of dragonball manga... i got buy nother one! :smile: TOYFAR! *dances cuz she gets to go to a toy fair in madison this saturday*

~Mica

[azure turtle]

Oh man! I'd love to get some new turtle toys... :grin:

[Skeletoncrew]

Toyfare issue #58.

They also mentioned http://customizeit.tripod.com/ For help customizing figures.

[HorseTechie]

Geeeeez! And I thought the world of customized model horses was big business.

Well.. from my model horse experinces, I heard an air brush and the paint you use with those works out real well if you want a nice finish. But only the well-paid artists were able to afford a set up like that.

I used acrylic paints on mine... and to keep the paint from getting scratched off, I also used a primer and a varnish.

First I sand down the model/figure a bit with a fine grade snadpaper so the primer has something to grip. Paint on one coat. let it dry. Pain on another coat, let it dry. Then I use the acrylic paints. I also heard oil paints atre even better if you know how to use those. Then after the paint is dry, use a matte varnish to seal the paint. This is what I did for the full-out custom jobs. (more detailed stuffs http://www.riorondo.com/resinhorse/info/prepwork.html )

(That's one draw back with those Movie Star figures.. the arms/legs and head are too rubbery to be repainted in that fashion! But I had fun painting the shells.)

For touch-ups, enamels sound like a better choice. Or if there are those permanent paint pens... those might be good for the lil scuffs and things.

This site may be for model horses, but it's also a good place to order leather lace and cool looking buckles if you want to make lil leather belts and stuff for your figures too. :wink:

[Skeletoncrew]

Wow. You know, I've always been impressed with all the work that goes into those model horses.

I went ahead and tried out my acrylic model paint today. (I just have a bottle of glossy black at the moment.) I painted over my Splinter's eyes with it...he looks SO much better with shiny black eyes! I also touched up a few black areas on other figures, it seemed to blend in just fine.

Of course, now that I've done Splinter's eyes I'm thinking about making his tail pink and improving his fur coloring. His chest shouldn't be gray!

[azure turtle]

I don't have a Splinter action fig.
*pouts*

[Mica]

what? grey chest? *pulls out a splinter out of a bag in a closet* Ohhhh! You're right! .. well, with the turtles for kids, you're likely to get some grey fur :grin:

I agree on the tail shouldn't be gray, but what about the brown fur on the tail? you leave that be or file it off and reshape the plastic (don't laugh! there are people that do that!) I personally wish the orig splinter's ears were bigger. I like the NT:TNM splinter cuz he's spidleist, but I wish he didn't have the multi-color dreamcoat.. and heck, by the time NM figs came around, splints was a completely grey rat! notice? :wink:

Poor Azure. Were you the one who wanted a Leo plushie from me? Someone on these lists wanted one and tried to send me payment thru paypal and I think I forgot to contact them and tell them I can't take credit card payments... (it makes me change my account and charges me extra) but, if it IS you, i can send you a complete Splinter with all kimono and accessories when I send your leo plush for free. (I have a ton of figs) It's no biggie... any others you're looking for that I might be able to help you with? (No, i DONT have any extra scratch figs :razz: heh, i don't even have one!)

If anyone is wondering, I have i think 2 Leo plushies up for grabs still (out of 5)

~Mica

[Skeletoncrew]

Honestly, I hadn't thought about taking a file to the tail. It is rather stupid the way they sculpted it. Rat tails do have a light coating of fur...but not solid fur then skin!

I'm enjoying playing around with my figures like this. I'm going to have to go on ebay and buy some more loose assortments! (I only have 1 turtle right now, the rest are other characters.)

I haven't seen a NM Splinter in person, but I did kind of like the looks of him. Of course, having him grey makes him a blue rat, not a standard norweigan rat. (I used to have a blue rat, she was the SWEETEST little girl I had.)

[Mica]

That got me thinking.. the reason splinter's smarter than an average sewer rat is because he's a japanese naitive rat and sewer rats are generally Norwiegan rats *EG* Ya! Shure! Ya Betcha!

~Mica (Norveejan-American who can't spall)

[HorseTechie]

awww.. now you guys are making me miss my belated rees. They were the white variety with the black hoods though. *sai*

But yeah.. whenever I get that out of box Ninja Action Raph figure, I'm thinking of customizing his look too.

I also will look just for the motorcycle from the TNM Biker raph set up. I already have the TNM Raph, and I can make the leather chaps for him instead (yeah, like I have the time!) So all I need is the hog! :grin:

[Mica]

forgive me if I sound stoopid, but what's a ree?

Truthfully, HT, the Ninja Action ones are NOT good for customizing, they're so perfect already. THe only thing I could think of doing is replacing some of the inner componants so they flip better...

Raph with shiney leather pants? Oy!

~Mica

[azure turtle]

Oh, I don't think that was me, Mica. But you still have Leo plushies, eh? Hmm...I have a Raph and Don, but no Leo or Mike... (Dare I ask it? Why not...) How much are you asking for??

[Mica]

$6 + $3.50 proirity mail shipping. No profit :wink: just the joy of sending them out to TMNT fans. $6 is just the basic price from Hot Topic...

~Mica

[azure turtle]

Woah! You are one nice dudette :wink:
*ponders*
All right, what kind of payment do you accept?

[Mica]

paypal (as long as it isn't credit card), money order, cash(tho i don't reccomend it), or check (although my minions of rabid squirrels will track you down if the check bounces) .. I also accept TMNT trades of stuffs I don't have :wink: I don't accept payments of Mangos or Spam tho.

~Mica

[azure turtle]

No mangos? But they're so tasty!! :wink:

Hmm...okay, okay. I've got a Paypal account, but I don't know what you mean by "not credit card"?

[Mica]

if you have your account registered under your credit card, then it costs me money to accept your payment. But if you transfer money from your bank account using paypal, then it doesn't cost either of us money.

~Mica

[azure turtle]

I see...Hmm...I don't think I've got that problem. My Paypal account is linked to my checking account, and I've sent money before (ebay auctions and Dan Berger, for Gutwallow) without any trouble. I'll send you an e-mail and we can iron things out :grin: Thanks!!

[Skeletoncrew]

I'm so bummed. I went by one of the local Hot Topics today and all they had were Leo and Don plushies. No t-shirts, no stickers, no patches. *pout* I just have no desire for the plushies! I would like a sticker for the back of my van though...

Raph with shiney leather pants? Oy!

Oh yeah... a "ree" is a cutesy-wootsy name for a rat. My college roomie, who's in love with rats as much as SC is, called them that. I thought it was cute, so I started calling rats rees too. In fact, that's where my other SN "sharee" came from. Back when I used to talk to Doramouse about my rees, and she nicked me that (since my RL nick had been Shari). :razz:

Actually, the conditon of my Nija Action figure will depend onhis condition. IF he's all scuffed up, them I'll prolly repaint his shell.

Shiny leather? Naaaaah... I have some thin pigskin that has a matte finish on one side. I'm gonna use that! :grin:

[Mica]

Skelly, You gots Don pwushie? *big doe eyes* nyar? NYAR WANT! Can trade/sell to me??

~Mica

[HorseTechie]

*grumbles about stupid ebay seller*

Okay, explain this to me, I sent to her the offical ebay printout of what figures I won (which is the Ninja Action Raph and Transformer Don)... and she sents me a beat-up Mondo Gecko and a Movie-Star Foot solder! :razz:

I'd sent them back and make a fuss, but then would she even get me the right order, if she can't get it right in the first place? So... anything sopecial about these figs that I should keep them.. or is anyone here insterested in a Mondo Gecko?

[Mica]

Email her and try to get your money back, HT. That's your best bet. It makes me mad when Ebay ppl misrepresent. Tell her that if she doesn't want bad feedback, then she should send you the two action figures you won. If she doesn't follow thru, then give her bad feedback, that's what the feedback system is there for.

~Mica (Now I guess I'll have to get out the big ol bag o' action figs and see which ninja action ones I have doubles of...)

[Skeletoncrew]

Sorry Mica,

I have no personal interest in the plushies...so I didn't buy any. And right now I'm hundreds of miles from the nearest Hot Topic. At least through the 2nd.

[HorseTechie]

*sai* if I wasn't madly trying to get work work done, final projects done, confriming plane tickets, packing, etc etc, etc.. i would take the time to chew her ear off. I rather just give her negative feedback, and then have some fun customizing this Mondo Gecko dude (and then resell him for three times as much). Then... the Foot soldier is starting to grow on my Tatsu-alter-ego. :razz:

I still seek a Ninja Action figure though... you stil have some up for grabs, Mica?

[Mica]

like, i said, I have to check.. i think I do.. but I have to look for my tubberware tub full of figs... hmm...

~Mica

[HorseTechie]

aww.. but didn't you tell me once you used to have some availble MIB? Or were they just part of your personal collection?

[Mica]

MIB? No, CMP (complete, Mint Package). I have them, but those are my babies. I only give them up if I can't find any in my bins.

~Mica

[azure turtle]

I recently got a renewed desire to begin collecting TMNT action figures once again. Ever since I got a MOC Shoot The Curl Don (who isn't MOC any more...I like to display my action figs outside of their packaging :smile: ) I've been wanting to collect other TMNT action figs. I recently won an auction for a Princess Mitsu action figure, from the third TMNT movie, and I currently have my eyes on a Mikey action fig. Does anyone knew of a reliable online store that sells MOC TMNT action figs? I've tried doing several searches, and I've come up empty handed. Btw, you all won't believe this, but a MOC Scratch action fig recently sold for over 200 dollars on ebay! :eek: For those of you who don't remember, Scratch was the cat convict. I guess he's very rare...I still can't believe he sold for 200 dollars.

[HorseTechie]

Okay.. another stupid question...

What the heck is a Shoot the Curl Don?

[Loolaa]

Y'know, I've been wondering that myself...!

[Kali]

I think it's a TNM figure. Weren't there figures where they were all skateboarders?

[HorseTechie]

Hrmm.. I hope so. I'm picturing this imagine of him in old fogey garb, getting ready to slide this 'stone' across a polished floor.

[azure turtle]

LOL! Shoot The Curl Don is indeed a TNM action fig. And Kali's right, he comes with his own Thunder Thrasher (skateboard). It's so much fun! He's got a built-in rocket launcher...I'm so tempted to use it on some unsuspecting victims :evilgrin:

[HorseTechie]

ooooOOOOOooooOOo... can it, really?

[azure turtle]

Yes! I'm serious! I was playing with it after I opened up the package...I had to be careful, cuz I almost hit my monitor with the darn rocket... :evilgrin:

[HorseTechie]

:eek:

Shame on him! *hehe*

[Kali]

Hey, she was gonna shoot April!

[HorseTechie]

Well *shrug* that was before they made friends. Here.... let him have fun with my Movie Star Foot solider. :wink:

[azure turtle]

*pouts*
But the Foot Soldiers always get hit with the different rockets n' stuff.

[HorseTechie]

Okay, then have a go at my ugly looking Mondo Gecko!

[azure turtle]

LOL! Ooh, I've got a Mondo Gecko too! I always had him get bombarded by Ace Duck's egg grenades! :evilgrin: This is so funny...I haven't played with action figures since grade school. But now I've remembered how fun they are! :anime: Hey HT, we should get together and have a battle royal with our action figs. :lol:

[HorseTechie]

Okay...

Gets her pan-swinging Hobbit figure ready. "Raaahhhh!"

[azure turtle]

Pan-swinging hobbit?! I don't think I have any action figs that can counter that...

[HorseTechie]

Hrmm.. what about my Coil Action Don?

[azure turtle]

A coil action Don, eh? Heh heh heh...I think my Rat King can take care of him! :evilgrin:

[HorseTechie]

Well see 'bout that!

Pulls back Don's leg and thwacks the Rat King with it. (that reads kinda funny...)

[azure turtle]

LOL!!
*watches Rat King fly across the forum*
Darn. Now I'll have to go look for him later. Hmm...aha! I've got it!
*takes out his prized Ace Duck*
Mwahahahaha! Donny doesn't have a chance.
*has Ace Duck throw egg grenades at Don*

[HorseTechie]

Ack!

*tries to make Don swat at one, but he misses and gets knocked over with a rotten egg smell*

Peeeeeuuuuu! *holds Don figure away from her*

[azure turtle]

Hmm...do skunks smell worse than rotten eggs?

[Loolaa]

I've never smelled a skunk.... :???:

Awww, and my Usagi action figure missed out on all the fun!

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Loolaa on 2002-05-18 04:27 ]</font>

[HorseTechie]

A very green Don figure: ugh... Hydrogen Sulfide gas smells far worse. *gag*

*HT looks strangely at Don* But you live in the sewers.

Don: But it's not good in high doses. :dead:

*runs over to the skunk thread*

[azure turtle]

LOL! There goes Coil Force Don...
*looks to Loolaa*
My Ace Duck action fig still stands undefeated! I think he'll be willing to fight your Usagi... :grin:
Ace Duck: You betcha.
*jumps*
I didn't know you could talk!
Ace Duck: I didn't know you could talk either.
.......:blanksta:

[Loolaa]

Usagi's not too sure about being bombarded with stinky eggs... hmm.. he told me that??!! He can talk, too???

[azure turtle]

Omigosh! It's black magic at work, I tell ya!
*runs for the hills*
Ace Duck: Hey! Come back here! How am I supposed to get back home? These plastic wings will only take me so far...
*Ace Duck mutters*
Stupid turtle.

[Loolaa]

Hey Ace Duck want some help?

*picks him up and throws him after Azure*

Happy Landings!!! :evilgrin:

[azure turtle]

Ace Duck: Why you little...!
*Ace Duck flies and bonks Azure on the head*
AHHH!
*Azure collapses*
....:dead:
*Ace Duck gets up and stares at Azure*
Ace Duck: Bah! Weakling. I, the great Ace Duck, have managed to survive many crash landings!

HT: well of course they can talk... the footage in Toy Story is proof of it!

*holds a sweet, ripened mango under Azure's nose*

*then a samurai on horse back fromt he TMNT3 movies rides up to meet HT* What is it, my Mistress?

HT: we have a problem Duck on the loose!

[azure turtle]

*wakes up with a start*
I smell mango!
....:???:....Why is there a horrible ringing in one of my ears?
*tries to shake it off, but notices the horse riding figure*
Holy smoke and mirrors! They can all talk! :eek:

[Ratking]

i can now see how you got over 3500 threads azure :smile:

[HorseTechie]

*blinks - wondering why Ratking hadn't noticed the talking figures* What, are you sayin'Azure is suffering from schizoprenia?

*then looks at her TMNT3 smaurai figure, who now is frozen solid like all the other figures* Awww man! The egg bombs must have made us dilerious.... they were really talking before. Honest!

[Loolaa]

HT speaks the truth!! Usagi ws adamant that those eggs be kept away from him... And I don't wanna get on Usagi's bad side! :wink:

[azure turtle]

Yes yes! They were speaking before!
*looks at his Ace Duck action fig, who had fallen flat on his face, motionless*
Sweet mother of pearl...it must've been all that stench coming from the skunk/sewer thread that made us hear voices! :razz:

[HorseTechie]

Weeeiiiirdd! :lol:

[azure turtle]

LOL! I guess it's weird in a good way...
:rolling:

[HorseTechie]

*Coil Don rolls his eyes ever so slightly in Ace Ducks direction and whispers* ::See what you did, now they know our secret!::

[azure turtle]

*Ace Duck whispered back*: Quiet, fool! They're still staring at us!

*Azure blinks*
I think I'm starting to hear things again... :ohwell:

[Loolaa]

Usagi: Frowns at Shoot theCurl Don, and AceDuck
*sai* I'm working with amateurs....

[Dead-Orion]

I have the deconstructed Technodrome in my closet. I am gonna reconstruct it and proudly display it as a once again huge Turtles fan. Who cares if I am 21!!!

[HorseTechie]

*whispers to loolaa* Should we tell him how old we are?

[Kameko]

:lol: I think you'd give 'em a heart attack, HT.

[Loolaa]

Oh hey, Kameko!!!! We're not that old!!!!! :lol:

Definately older than 21, though! :wink:

I think we should let him guess, HT! :grin:

[azure turtle]

Hi Dead-Orion! Welcome to the Technodrome!
*gives DO a mango of welcome*
Please, don't mind our silly babblings. If you have anything to fear here, it's these action figures.
*points at his Ace Duck*
Ace Duck: Yes! Fear me!
Ahhh! He spoke again! :eek:
*climbs on top of a pyramid*
Oh, and don't worry if you're twenty-one, DO. Most of us are around that age range, a few younger, and a few older....and be nice to HT! She's our tribal elder. :anime:

[HorseTechie]

Nngh. *HT nods*

...? Since when did we have a pyramid in here?

[Loolaa]

*shrugs* But it seems to be quite useful....

*clambers onto pyramid*

[azure turtle]

LOL!
*waves to Loolaa as she climbs the pyramid*
Hey HT, you don't remember the pyramids? They were introduced to our forum by yours truly waaaaaay back when we had a party for newbies...I think it was a party thrown when I first arrived here, or it could've been when Nun first got here...anyway, the point is, the party broke out into a paintball fight, and I used the pyramids for cover. And that's your forum history for the day! :anime:

[Loolaa]

*waves back*

That's an interesting piece of forum history!

*slides down the pyramid*
Wheeeeeeeeeee!!! :lol:

[azure turtle]

Hey! :idea: That's an awesome idea, Loolaa! (I've always wanted to use that smiley!). I never thought about sliding down the pyramids before!
*slides down the side*
Weeeeeeeee!

[Loolaa]

*climbs back onto pyramid*

This is fun!!! *slides down* Wheeee! Maybe we should open a theme park! :lol:

[HorseTechie]

*HT doesn't feel like scratching up her armor, and thus sents her figures down*

wow... Coil-Action Don sure can fly on his shell!

[Loolaa]

eeeeeee!! Sending action figures down it!! What a cool idea!
*grabs Usagi, and propels him down the pyramid*

Yey!!! :lol:

[azure turtle]

Ooh, fun!
*runs back up the pyramid with Ace Duck*
Ace Duck: Waitasec, you're not gonna throw me down the pyramid, are you?
*Azure looks slightly surprised, then grins evilly* :evilgrin:
Aww...but don't you wanna have fun like Coil Force Don and Usagi?
Ace Duck: But...but...I'm your prized action fig! How can you treat me like this?
You're such a baby!
*hurls Ace Duck down the side of the pyramid*
Ace Duck: AHHHHHHH!!!!

[Kali]

Hmm, I'd love to play with you guys but all I have are old regular Leo, Raph, and Don figures. No weapons or belts or anything. That's it, three. *eyes the figures on her VCR* They aren't alive as far as I know. Oh god, I hope not, I get dressed in front of them! *blushes*

[Machias Banshee]

Man, and you guys say I'M immature! :razz:

*surfs down pyramid*

[azure turtle]

Hey, all action figures are welcomed, Kali! Even those peeking turtles of yours.
*snickers*

And I'm not immature! Playing with toys is fun!
*watches in shock as Machias runs over the fallen Ace Duck*
Ace Duck: Ow.... :dead:
Hmph. And I thought you were tough after going through so many crash landings. :razz:

[HorseTechie]

:eek: Heh.. I keep my figures under my bed. or at work. (Coil-Action Don is the one at work... before you start getting any ideas!)

*finds her nekkid TNM Raph, then spins him like a top on the back of his shell, on the point of the pyramid*

[azure turtle]

LOL!
*wonders how Raph can manage to balance on the tip of the pyramid so well*

[Kali]

*is more interested in the fact that TNM Raph is nekkid than his spinning ability*

[azure turtle]

:lol:
*slides down the pyramid, not wanting to see nekkid Raph's fate*

[HorseTechie]

Cause neenja's have great balance! (and cuase I took his Tex-Mex belt belt off him to contemplate painting his shell)

TNM Raph stops spinning, and then he's stuck there perfectly balanced on the point... on his back!

A few minutes go by, HT or no one moves him or makes him fall, and then he quietly gets steamed.

[Kali]

*floats above Raph, not touching him* Poor Raphie...

[azure turtle]

How...weird. :blanksta: I wonder how long TNM Raph is gonna be up there.
*pulls his Ace Duck fig out of the sand*
Ace Duck: It's about time! Look at this, I swallowed so much sand!
*Ace Duck starts coughing and gagging*
Quit your complaining, or I won't let Princess Mitsu play with you any more.
*Ace Duck's jaw drops*
Ace Duck: You wouldn't! C'mon, girls are rare in the TMNT toyline!
I know. Now behave.
*Ace Duck pouts*
Ace Duck: You're no fun.

[Loolaa]

*Usagi stares with awe at TNM Raph still stuck up the pyramid spike*

Usagi: *whispers* Should I give him a nudge?

Loolaa: It's your funeral.......

[azure turtle]

Heh heh...I'm definitely not going up there. Raph doesn't look too happy.
Ace Duck: I don't blame him. You people treat us like toys!
Uh...have you looked in the mirror lately?
Ace Duck: Ya, and I look fantastic!
.......Dude, I think you're missing the point.

*lol*
I've only got an old regular Don figure, without a weapon or a belt, too, but there's no reason they can't join in....:grin:

Old beltless Don: Yeah, I'm sick of Usagi hogging all the fun!

[HorseTechie]

TNM Raph: Rrrrrrr.... *arms and legs start flailing in the air*

HT: heeheee... I'm so mean.

Coil-Don whispers to Usagi: you don't want to know what she did to her Barbie.

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: HorseTechie on 2002-05-23 14:06 ]</font>

[Loolaa]

Usagi whispers back grinning: Oh yes I do... :wink:

[azure turtle]

Ace Duck: Hey, I wanna hear too!
*Ace Duck jumps into the air and glides over to Coil Don and Usagi*

[Kali]

*Regular Leo runs up and pushes TNM Raph off the pyramid* I always wanted to do that.

[HorseTechie]

Coil-Don suddenly straightens up, and sees the TNM Raph figure flying down the pyramid, their way. "Ut-oh..."

[azure turtle]

*Ace Duck wonders why Coil Don and Usagi start running away*
Ace Duck: Hey, where're you guys going? I thought we were gonna talk about Barbies?
*Ace Duck suddenly realizes that a shadow has formed over him*
Ace Duck: Uh oh...
*He gets crushed as TNM Raph lands on him*

[Loolaa]

Usagi scratches his ears as he peers down at a bruised AceDuck: ...Man, that's gotta hurt...

[HorseTechie]

Coil-Don smirks: Time to call... Afflack!!

TNM Raph: @*$&amp;%*#*@$&amp;$!!! *and presumes to breath down on them all with nostrils falred and fists clinched*

[azure turtle]

*Ace Duck pulls himself out of the sand*
AD: Ack! I don't find this funny at all!
*Ace sees the very angry, cursing TNM Raph*
AD: Uh...
*Ace quietly tip-toes away while TNM Raph is busy stomping the ground in a mad rage*

[Loolaa]

*Usagi looks nervous, then draws his katana...*

Usagi: Just incase... :sweatdro:

[azure turtle]

*Ace Duck stands next to Usagi, and takes out his pistol and egg grenades*
AD: What should we do about the ranting lunatic?
*He points at TNM Raph*

[HorseTechie]

*Coil_Don stops long enough to think* Nah... Leo wouldn't help... and Mikey would just get pummeled.

*looks over to Ack Duck and Usagi* You know of any lady figures lying around?

[azure turtle]

*Ace Duck nods*
AD: Yep, Azure has a Princess Mitsu, but he won't let her come out and play :sad:
*suddenly, Princess Mitsu drops in from the sky*
PM: Ouch! Huh? Where am I? What has happened?
*Ace Duck's eyes bulge out of their sockets*
AD: Woohoo! A babe!!
*The princess gives Ace a dirty look*
PM: Ugh...I can't believe I have to deal with you again.

[Loolaa]

*Usagi stares at Princess Mitsu a moment, startled at her falling from the sky*

Usagi: *kisses her hand* Welcome fair lady....

[HorseTechie]

TNM Raph: *blinks and stops snorting when he sees Princess Mitsu*

Coil-Don: *thinking to self, HT better not let Mikey out now* *to Mitsu* Hello.

[azure turtle]

*Princess Mitsu blushes at Usagi's greeting.*
PM: Hello...a pleasure to meet both of you.
*She bows slightly to Usagi and Coil Don*
Ace Duck: Hey, what about me? Aren't you gonna give me a little kiss on the beak?
PM: No! I do not kiss pests!
Ace: Ah, I love it when they play hard to get.
*Mitsu ignores Ace and turns to TNM Raph*
PM: And you are...?

[HorseTechie]

Raph clears his throat, trying to look pleasant: I'm Raphael.

[Kali]

*Leo slides down from the top of the pyramid* And I'm Leonardo. *he bows to Princess Mitsu*

[HorseTechie]

*HT looks innocent as she sets her customized Movie Star Mike figure into play*

:eek: *Mikey straightens out his samurai armor and skips over to the others. He removes his helmet and bends down on one knee* "And I'm Michaelangelo, but you can call me Mikey!

(( hrmm.. think we should move this to the RPG section? ;p ))

[Loolaa]

Usagi's little lizard pal ( Tokage..? ) suddenly leaps from outta nowhere, grabbing Customised Mikey's Samurai helmet....

[azure turtle]

(( Ooh, this is such a unique little RPG we've started...maybe we should move it to the RPG thread? ))

*Princess Mitsu blushes from all the attention she receives from the turtles*
PM: It is so wonderful to meet so many new action figures! You don't know how long I have had to put up with that.
*Mitsu points at Ace Duck*
AD: Don't listen to her, guys. She loves me, right babe?
*Mitsu frowns, then sees Movie Star Mike's helmet get stolen by the lizard*
PM: Oh my! Should we go after it?

[HorseTechie]

(( okies.. I make new thread in RPG called TMNT Figures Alive! ))

[azure turtle]

(( Heh heh...may our insanity continue! Onward to the RPG forum! :lol: ))

[Loolaa]

Okies! See ya in the other thread...

[Kingkapong]

i prefer the turtles with the shells that can open and inside the shell, u could store weapons

[Loolaa]

Oh wow! I never saw those. Cool.

[azure turtle]

You mean the action figs with storage shells? I always wanted one of those, but I can't seem to find any. I still scan ebay every now and then, but I haven't been on lately because I know I'll end up spending more money if I do. :goof:

[PWDESAI]

this ones hard, since I have them all...:smile:
my favorite is probably the wacky action series, they had the coolest backing cards, and the toys rocked too! Mike's tounge, leo's scared face (so what else is new) raphs mean face (so what else is new), and don's cheerful face, all rocked. I loved that series. Shredder looked neat, and splinter was soo kickass. Plus the first and only mouser was made in that series. MAN I LOVE TMNT :smile:
