[Stingray69]

I dont know if anyone else saw this but walmarts got 5 kids books from nick up for pre-order right now.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/20636044

This is the only one with a pic so far though.

[Powder]

Yeah these were shared before. The Barnes & Noble pages feature most of the covers, actually.

[TurtleMaster4]

I would love to see more adult of teen books the size of most star wars books some time. I love the comics, but i wouldn't mind book either.

[TheCanadiandrome]

i want em!

Nice that Wal-Mart's gonna be carrying em but I already pre-ordered them all at BN a while ago. *lol*

[TheCanadiandrome]

Probably cheaper at Walmart, no?

[zkarlette]

Cool! They come with stickers .:P

[Drose18]

Ugh I hate Raph's expression. :tconfuse: (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/how-to-draw-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-walter-foster-creative-team/1109480599?ean=9781600582967)

[Jester]

Here are more covers. Donnie already posted smaller copies in another thread, but here are some bigger ones:

[TheCanadiandrome]

love those covers!

[Raph's Girl]

Probably cheaper at Walmart, no?

No. Same prices as BN. Plus with my BN discount I get each book at 10% off the cover price.

As can I with my Moms Walmart discount :lol: :P :D

[Stingray69]

Wonder whats up with a kraang riding metalhead? I want these now.

[Donatello19]

it's nice to see that they are making tons of merchandise for this show already

[Donatello19]

Wonder whats up with a kraang riding metalhead? I want these now.

I think kraang can control metalhead when he is on him like that

[DonatelloFan]

Holy freakin' ^%#*%^*W@^$%&^^)^%^$#%^&&%#$%#@@ s**t!!! Metalhead!!! I know we already know he's on the show, and that Donatello made him, but seeing him in another picture is just awesome. And he's attacking the Turtles with the help of the Kraang.

That cover I haven't seen before, but yeah, I also pre-ordered the books at Barnes & Noble like the day someone posted the link on here. Unlike the toy pre-orders though, I had to pay right away. Now I just have to wait until mid-August.

I'm so freakin' glad that the merchandise will be in different stores. Wal-Mart, Toys 'r' Us, and probably Target already. I can't wait to walk into Party City to find a little section like they have for Hello Kitty, Power Rangers, etc, for the Ninja Turtles. Party favor galore!! And decoration for my shelf.

[Zany Orange Dude]

I REALLY want the book with Metalhead! :tgrin: I wonder if the books are based off of episodes from the show?

[Alex]

i want em!
Me too! Too bad that the shipping cost from Barnes & Noble is $40 to Sweden :tsad: If someone knows about a cheaper site to pre-order from, please tell me!

[Fugitoid Jones]

http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/175030000/175035579.JPG


At first I thought that Metalhead was sporting a Marge Simpson style hairdo.

[Mr.Turtle]

i hope metalhead is not mikeyhead lolz...

[bloodstainedwings]

i want em!

I want it too!!

[Jephael]

I'm definitely buying these books when they come out!

[Chaotix12345]

Amazon have put up preview pages for the new books, including a sneak peek at the Turtles' origin scene (http://www.amazon.com/Green-Teenage-Mutant-Turtles-Reading/dp/0307980707/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1342013898&sr=1-8&keywords=teenage+mutant+ninja+turtles) and their first meeting with April! (http://www.amazon.com/Saved-Teenage-Mutant-Turtles-Pictureback/dp/0307980715/ref=sr_1_12?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1342013898&sr=1-12&keywords=teenage+mutant+ninja+turtles)

Looks like rather than it being an accident, a disguised Kraang soldier just chucks the canister at Yoshi. Hm...

[ZariusTwo]

And we have our first confirmed episode titles: "Day One" Parts One and Two

[Genesis]

Amazon have put up preview pages for the new books, including a sneak peek at the Turtles' origin scene (http://www.amazon.com/Green-Teenage-Mutant-Turtles-Reading/dp/0307980707/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1342013898&sr=1-8&keywords=teenage+mutant+ninja+turtles) and their first meeting with April!

Looks like rather than it being an accident, a disguised Kraang soldier just chucks the canister at Yoshi. Hm...
Yeah... a little odd. Also, Hamato being treated as Yoshi's given name? They did the same thing in 2k3 by switching Saki's names, and it always bugged me.

[TMNT_Guy]

I'm glad their not going the 4Kids route, where we didn't learn the Turtles's origins untill the third episode. I can only imagine how confused those who never heard of TMNT were.

[Mr.Turtle]

i don't mind how long it takes them to reveal the turtles origin as long as the fillers before that r decent.

[DonatelloFan]

I can't even remember the books I ordered from Barnes & Noble when it was first announced they had them on here. I know I ordered two of each book I bought. I think I bought 4 books? I just know when I ordered, they said it would be shipped to me on August 1st or 7th. So basically it's going to be like Christmas, because I don't know what I'm getting.

[Roseangelo]

All of the books I pre-ordered from B&N have shipped! Excited to get them!

[TheCanadiandrome]

Nice Rose! I hope to find em in Saskatoon when I go on holidays the weekend of the 18th

[Powder]

Hmm, I'll have to see if I can get out to my B&N one of these days.

[TheJ-manTurtleMan]

I went to my local B&N today, but they didn't have them yet, I'll check back in a couple of days. I would love to read them, yet I kinda don't. I'm afraid they will spoil the first episodes of the show for me.

[Zulithe]

The new origin preview above, while brief and simplified for the book, sounds like one of the worst origin versions yet.

So now all yoshi needed to become a half-man half-rat was for a rat to be near him briefly while in contact with the ooze? Why couldn't he still be a friend to the sewer rats like before? Guess that was too dirty for Nick's vision? They live in the freakin' sewer. Hopefully we'll know the full origin in the 1 hour premier

Also, Yoshi BUYS the turtles instead of finds them? :( I guess that means he wasn't homeless living in the sewer before the mutation, either. A homeless person would not buy 4 pets like that.

And worst of all: the direct involvement of the Kraang. Why oh why would they throw a canister of mutagen at him? That stuff has to be rather valuable and they surely knew what effect it would have.

Okay okay... one last thing. So it says the mutagen gets all over the turtles, yoshi *AND* the rat... AND THE RAT!

So does that mean the rat mutates too? or does he just get like absorbed into Yoshi somehow? :| :| :|

It would make no sense of the turtles mutated, yoshi mutated, but the rat did not.

[BAXTER STOCKMAN 19]

is the release date of these comics today? And are they based on first episode of the show?

[TheBlueTurtle1]

I ordered Green Team, I think they are going to be very kidish, but Its like only £1 so ill check out the art.

[DonatelloFan]

B&N sent an email saying they're shipping three of the books I ordered. Can't wait to get them, since I pre-ordered them what, in February or something like that?

It's not a bad origin, so far. It's better than IDW's origin. Glad there's no reincarnation in this series.:trazz: I find nothing wrong with Yoshi/Splinter's origin that much. The turtles are still mutated as infants, though. I'm okay with that.:tcool:

Definitely not homeless. He does seem to be working/middle class in the first trailer.

The canister being thrown: maybe it was an accident.:teek: Maybe one utrom (excuse me - "Kraang"):tlol: may act foolishly, thinking the ooze would kill Yoshi without knowing about the mutation. I don't know. I could just picture one Kraang saying, "You fool! That was valuable to us! Why would you do that?!" We'll just have to wait and see.

Just watched the first trailer. Yoshi punches one of them and the canister is thrown. Either this is not the whole story for them, or the author has no freaking clue what he/she is writting.:trolleye: Still, if this helps, the turtles and Yoshi happen to be "created by accident." Somehow, I can get past any reason why Yoshi and the rat become Splinter. I've seen it before, I can take it again. Still, I'm just glad that the turtles will not be instantly mutated as teenagers. Just curious - this whole idea you've read, you won't be turned off by the series this time, will you? I hope not, because you seem to have been hyped up a bit. That's evident with your Splinter avatar.:twink: Really cool, by the way.

[Genesis]

Just got the Ultimate Fan activity book in the mail. Wholly unimpressed with its attempt at a poster, but there are so many stickers, it's hard to be disappointed.

I'm mostly only familiar with the OT series, the live action films and (some) of the comics... are you saying there is a version of the origin where they mutate directly into teenagers? How... horrible :| Gah! It bothers me how mishandled some of these TMNT interpretations are.

If all of my guesses are correct then yeah I will be a bit miffed and turned off by the new series... but I can't say to what degree until I see a few episodes. At this stage all I know is I really love how the character designs and animation look, particularly the Turtles themselves.

It does bother me when the origin story gets changed in ways that feel stupid to me or unnecessary. I try hard to like the IDW comics but I just want to slap whoever came up with the new origin. For real.

I'm not unaccepting of change, but it has to feel like an improvement. Not just adding convenience. Here are some of my feelings on changes:

Do I like that April will now be a teen and not a reporter? Yes
Do I like the new designs (like don's gap tooth and raph's shell missing a chunk, etc.?) yes
Do I like that it is CGI and not traditional animation? Yes
Do I like how in the IDW series the turtles and splinter are reincarnated from past lives? NO!
Do I like that april named the turtles in IDW? HELL TO THE NO!

Thanks for asking how I might feel though! It is hard for me to imagine not wanting to watch every episode at this point, given my feelings on the property. You try to take the good with the bad.

Still I don't like living in a world where splinter (pre-mutation!) was sentient and tried to save his "turtle sons" like a character out of a disney movie!

[DarkLightDragon]

Managed to get five of the books at Scheuler's last night.

I've only read one so far but I'm already impressed with how the two-parter will go down.

It's also interesting to note that Snakeweed was originally a human named Snake who apparently worked for/with the Kraang but got accidently splashed with the mutagen.

[Genesis]

Are you saying there is a version of the origin where they mutate directly into teenagers?Uh, yeah. The OT. They mutate right into full size - muscles and all.

It does bother me when the origin story gets changed in ways that feel stupid or unnecessary.I know I'm totally in the minority, here, but that's how I feel about Hamato Yoshi mutating into a rat. I've never cared for the properties of the OT mutagen. I prefer the Utrom ooze version of mutations.

[Zulithe]

Oh right they did in the OT. I like the movie origin! They mutate from baby turtles (splinter specifically calls them baby turtles, too!) into little talking toddler turtles :p It makes way more sense. This way they have a chance to bond and have a true father/son(s) relationship with splinter, and he actually has TIME to train them over all those years.

If they mutated straight into teen turtles... we are supposed to believe they become proficient martial artists in such a short period of time? :/

In the IDW series that is all explained at least. The sons have training before... well, you know.

[Genesis]

In the IDW series that is all explained at least. The sons have training before... well, you know.I do. And I'm with you, actually. While I can accept the whole reincarnation thing (since it's intrinsic to the new story), I prefer to ignore it however possible while reading the comics. I still kind of "rewrite" the captions that say "Fifteen months earlier" to "Fifteen years earlier" in my head whenever I read over "Change Is Constant."

And the movie origin is the "true" origin to me, as much as Kevin Clash had a Splinter voice beyond reproach.

:teek:Wow. I'm glad we're on the same page, here. I hate the IDW comics, too. :tsmile: Yeah, I had no idea the turtles were instantly mutated into teenagers in the OT series, but at least the show was fun at times.

So don't get turned off by the series. The turtles in the 2k12 Nickelodeon show will be mutated as infants (just like the origin from the original movie).:twink:

[CrazySquirrel]

I saw these and some a activity books at Stop and Shop todwy! Tons of spoilers i decided to just take a glance to not ruin yhe show too much. I was psyched to see them!

[Zulithe]

@Genesis: when you say "that origin is the 'true' origin to me" you mean the OT origin? While I think it is closer to my ideal vision, the fact that they mutated straight into teens kinda ruins it for me. Think about it! What teenager is going to accept someone as their father/mentor especially over such a quick period of time. They had to have been with splinter from a very young age or it doesn't work very well in my mind.

Sure you could say "well in karate kid..." but we are talking FOUR teenagers here! group dynamics man, haha.

@Bauer536: well i'm still working out my feelings on the IDW series. I am very glad we have some new turtle comics coming out on a regular basis. I'm just not a fan of most of the details regarding the origin changes.

Alright, if I try really hard i can accept the reincarnation part. Maybe. Though it still makes no sense that they reincarnated not only as different animals, but as different animals in the same place and same time. AND on top of it all... they can already 'think' like humans before their mutation? It's something I have a hard time reconciling.

Though... as I write this I'm reminded of the part in TMNT (1990) where splinter is hearding the turtles before his mutation. It's weird. So maybe I"m going about this all wrong: in the TMNT universe animals are anthropomorphic even before mutation? Apparently I've been overlooking that all this time... Even if that is so, I think the IDW comic goes overboard in incorporating that into the plot (where splinter tries to chase down the turtles before he contacts the mutagen etc.)

This is a universe with a dimension x and alien brain creatures and a race of sentient dinosaurs and all these other weird things so... I'm trying not to take it so seriously :)

[Genesis]

@Genesis: when you say "that origin is the 'true' origin to me" you mean the OT origin?Heeelllllll no. My preference is for the Mirage and first film, overall, and I like 2k3 a lot more thoroughly than the OT. I suppose I should have quoted the specific part I was responding to, but your hints were in my love of Kevin Clash and the Utrom ooze's mutating properties. And the fact that I agreed with you that the instant-growing-up is stupid, and that they should actually be raised by Splinter.

As for Splinter's pre-mutation intelligence, rats are really smart animals on their own, but while that accounts for some of it, I've always imagined he was some kind of exceptionally intelligent, perhaps genetically modified lab rat, prior to maybe escaping and coming into Yoshi's possession. I swear I thought of that years ago, before IDW used the same concept and stuffed reincarnation into it.'

And take it as seriously as you like. The only wrong way to enjoy something is trying to do it the way others tell you to.

[CyberCubed]

Why the hell is anyone complaining about the Nick origin? Its basically the same as all the others

[Genesis]

That's very true, but we've all learned something out of the discussion those forgettable complaints spawned, so all is not lost.

[CyberCubed]

I do wonder if the author, or maybe the Nick writers, think Hamato is Yoshi's first name. Its going to be the same screw-up as the OT writers thinking Oroku was Shredder's first name.

[Genesis]

2k3 made the same mistake, with characters often referring to Karai as "Miss Saki." Personally drives me nuts.

[CyberCubed]

Makes me surprised that these writers don't do research on Japanese names.

[Genesis]

Or, y'know, the first comic.

[Zany Orange Dude]

I think the orgin story for this is good. I have no problem with it so far!:tsmile: And I am very happy to hear that the turtles with mutate into infants and not teenagers.:tgrin:

[TurtleTitan97]

Yeah, me too! I'm really excited to see this orgin play out in the actual show itself!

[TheCanadiandrome]

checking Chapters and i wanna buy them all!

[Raph's Girl]

Mine are supposed to arrive on Friday. WOOT!

[BAXTER STOCKMAN 19]

now that the comics are out can you tell us are they based on episodes of the show?

[DarkLightDragon]

now that the comics are out can you tell us are they based on episodes of the show?


First off, they're books, not comics.

Second, they are based off the first two episodes. It's been known for a while now.

[BAXTER STOCKMAN 19]

Will they be releasd worldwide or only in US?

[Utromshredderhater]

I saw the new books today. And apparently the ooze follows with that thing you turn into the thing you were most recently in contact with

Yeah... he's all like HUURRRR! DUURRRR!

[TheCanadiandrome]

Will they be releasd worldwide or only in US?

Worldwide naturally cause they're available for order on Canadian sites

[BAXTER STOCKMAN 19]

Worldwide naturally cause they're available for order on Canadian sites

And when is the release date?

Spoiler tags exist for a reason, ass. :tgrumble:

[ZariusTwo]

And when is the release date?

The year Dot Noodle.

[Genesis]

Spoiler tags exist for a reason, ass.Like we didn't see it coming.

[Raph's Girl]

The new books came in the mail. Good lord! I didn't realize how big the sticker book would be! Sheesh! No wonder the dang thing has a handle! *lol*

[Genesis]

Jeez there are more stickers than I know what to do with in the Ultimate Fan book. I can't imagine what you've got there, Raph's Girl.

[CyberCubed]

Does April faint when she sees the Turtles for the first time, do the books show that?

[Zany Orange Dude]

Does April faint when she sees the Turtles for the first time, do the books show that?

I've been wondering the same thing actually.

[Bauer536]

I already read the books. No. April does not faint, but she does scream twice before she's taken by the Kranng.

[Megatron]

when is the 200 sticker book coming out?

[zkarlette]

Haven't found any of these at the stores:ohwell:

[TheCanadiandrome]

Haven't found any of these at the stores:ohwell:
Me either sadly

[DonatelloFan]

The book with the 30 or 50 stickers didn't impress me. They're just so tiny. The poster book didn't impress me much either. I'm sure as a kid, it's going to be awesome, and will decorate their entire wall with the, but me, I don't like most of them.

I'm still looking forward to the rest of the books. I saw three of the books at Toys 'R' Us. I've got most of them coming in the mail.

[oldmanwinters]

Is it appropriate to post some select page scans? I feel like sharing the love.

Awesome, thanks for sharing these! I really like the first one. It is interesting to see that 2k12 Splinter doesn't seem as over-protective as 2k3 Splinter.

[Bauer536]

Awesome, thanks for sharing these! I really like the first one. It is interesting to see that 2k12 Splinter doesn't seem as over-protective as 2k3 Splinter.

If any of you are curious, Splinter is very over-protective of them. Read the Mutant Origins, and you will see.:twink:

Yeah, I guess we'll just have to wait and watch the episode to see if the book was a faithful adaptation of the story.

I think what he means is that the books aren't exactly going to be 100% accurate to the cartoon. Like there might be some stuff added in the book that won't appear on the show.

Thank you once again, oldmanwinters, for sharing!

Oh yeah, let me tell you!:twink::tlol:

Managed to get five of the books at Scheuler's last night.

I've only read one so far but I'm already impressed with how the two-parter will go down.

It's also interesting to note that Snakeweed was originally a human named Snake who apparently worked for/with the Kraang but got accidently splashed with the mutagen.

Which book is this in?

Never have. Never will. :tcool:
