Ninja Turtles: Next Mutation Vol 1 DVD coming 9/4/12 [Archive]

It's kinda lame but wouldn't surprise me. Shout started splitting up their Nick shows after the first wave of releases. Hey Arnold Season 1 was released complete in a 4 disc set with all 20 episodes. Then they released season 2 in two parts with 10 episodes a piece. As long as I can get them cheap on amazon ($10-15) I won't feel too cheated.

Edit: Here's (http://www.amazon.com/Ninja-Turtles-Next-Mutation-Vol-1/dp/B0089BSOGO/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1339131394&sr=8-10) the link for those interested.

Bit odd there going for volumes....maybe they'll have the complete series on Shout! Select or something...besides, they released a "complete" set of M.A.S.K as well as a "volume one" for that too, so who knows what the overall plan is.

I've asked Brain Ward if there are any extras. He's yet to respond, but I'll keep you posted

DVD better at least have 13 episodes so we finish this in two sets.

Nope. That was the only version the UK had. This is the uncut version, the only one the US has. The only noticeable difference is that they had to replace the theme song. The theme song used to be my favorite part. Now, it's just as annoying as the show, itself. :tcry:

Jester

06-08-2012, 10:48 AM

Are we sure they can't use the theme song? Just because they couldn't on Netflix, doesn't mean Shout doesn't have the rights. Heck, are we even sure that's the final box art?

Ravenxl7

06-08-2012, 11:16 AM

Since the show was just one season, I was hoping they would just release it all at once, but as long as the sets are thirteen episodes each (meaning just two sets), I'll definitely get them.

Should be interesting to see what, if any, special features they include. Though I have the feeling there probably won't be any to speak of...

Not really, seeing as how Shout! has mentioned in the past that normal retailers have shown a lack of interest in carrying 4 disc sets.

Cipher

06-08-2012, 04:53 PM

Two-disc, thirteen-episode sets are increasingly standard for Shout! Almost every series outside high-profile items like Transformers receives them, apparently due to retailer interest as cited above. (It keeps per-set prices cheap and moves sets off shelves more quickly, in theory.)

That said, I wish I'd remembered that earlier when I was anticipating getting this entire atrocity for less than $20. I'll probably have to settle for less than $30 now, which feels a bit like parting with my dignity.

Hey, Jester, could ya please compare the episodic version of East Meets West I sent you clips of in a PM to the movie version? I really, really, REALLY want to know if the movie version has any scenes that the full-length American cuts of the episodic doesn't. If so, I want the movie version to be included as an extra. Other extras I'd like to see are the Power Rangers In Space episodes guest-starring the Turtles ("Save Our Ship" and "Shell Shocked") and an interview with Eastman.

I'd like to think the TMNT brand would be enough to push a full four-disc set, but whatever.

The Shout! Factory DVD producer, Brian Ward, was directed to this site. Not sure if he's registered or posted yet though. Shout! has been very good with their Power Ranger DVDs, taking in fan input and suggestions. I hope this isn't simply a bare bones release.

It's more than just a chance. I recall reading someone say that Saban sold its music library, and that's why TNM's opening and closing themes had to be replaced. I'm not sure how valid that info is though.

Mr. Orange

06-09-2012, 12:19 PM

Saban did sell the music, but everything else of his older properties that he's bought back, retains the original music..except Next Mutation and Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog.

This show isn't so great and important that I really expect bonus features, but it would be nice to have the PR crossover episodes on one of the two volumes for sure.

Mr. Orange

06-09-2012, 01:35 PM

I have great memories of The Next Mutation, and while listening to folks talk about things that went on behind the scenes, I think bonus features would be great. Such as a featurette on the most obvious difference in this series from any other...Venus.

Why would Saban sell just the music of NT:TNM? And more importantly, who would buy it, and for what purpose?

Poor choice of words on my part. He sold all the music, not just TNM. Everything apart from TNM, ie Power Rangers, Beetleborgs, etc retains it's music on Netflix and one can assume the DVDs as well. Saban kept some rights to still use it as he sees fit however.

The issue with the music on TNM is likely with the artist who originally created the song.

Ah, anyway, what?

I second wanting a few extra features. Some new interviews would make this a lot more palatable. I'm sure they can find someone, even Eastman or Laird, with something to say. It doesn't have to be glowing. The Power Rangers crossovers would be nice as well. Although I have zero interest in that franchise, they're really as much a part of the series as anything else, and completely indicative of what The Next Mutation was, at heart.

Not that I expect them.

I don't think Peter Laird would go anywhere near these DVDs. Kevin Eastman would be okay with it I'm sure.

Shout! is interviewing fans apparently for the Power Rangers, so I kind of wish they'd do it here as they're known for that special touch. But Brian Ward told me that we really shouldn't expect huge level releases for the other properties in the Saban deal like PR is getting. Saddens me greatly, but I kinda understand.

Not that I expect them.

Shout does have the license for Power Rangers as well, and they've gone farther out of their way to put stuff on other DVD sets, so I'd say it's very likely to be on there.

BUT we have to let them know about the crossover episode. That's how Shout Factory puts together DVD extras, they ask the fanbases what they'd like to see on the sets. If we let Brian Ward know about the Power Rangers in Space crossover, it's much more likely to show up.

CyberCubed

06-09-2012, 10:45 PM

In the crossover, didn't the Turtles all have different voices than in the Next Mutation? I found that difference strange that they couldn't have the same VA's as the crossover episode when its made by the same people.

It's Ninja Turtles, of course we're all gonna buy it. I firmly believe in embracing even the lesser parts of things I love.

Well, since "Shell Shock" is considered part of Power Rangers: In Space, if you want that episode, simply buy the PRIS DVD. But it wouldn't hurt to see bonus as a marketing ploy to sell more DVDs for this release, especially given that there is no DVD release yet for PRIS. But given that episode didn't come out until just before the final TNM aired, it would make more sense for this to be included in Volume 2's release. Shout, just don't charge too much for this (no more than $1.50 an episode) given the lukewarm reception,

Well yeah, that's what I was thinking. Include it as a bonus episode in the second volume as a tie-in with the Power Rangers releases.

It completes the Next Mutation experience and advertises other Shout Factory releases. Seems like a win-win to me. :tsmile:

Even tho we all remember the show being terrible, the 6 year old kid with parents that aren't too familiar with the series isn't going to know it sucks and will probably get it cause the Turtles are on the cover. This set might sell well due to lack of familiarity from the general public that are looking to buy something with the TMNT on it.

Oh yeah, and I'll def be getting a copy for myself, even tho I think the show sucks.

I saw this entire series on Fox back in the day but I haven't rewatched it at all since 1998.

It's been like 14 years since I've watched this show, yet oddly enough I still remember all the episodes.

We ARE getting the edited Netflix version with different music most likely/sadly. But I think you're referring to the UK Hero Turtles but I seriously doubt it, we never got the edited version and they aren't edited on Netflix and they're likely using those masters, those runtimes are always incorrect we're getting 6/7 episodes per DVD in the two disc set. There's more than enough room for the regular length episodes outside the music issues.

Here's the IGN article confirming its the first 13 episodes:

http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/07/26/ninja-turtles-the-next-mutation-volume-one-resurfaces-on-dvd

Shout! Factory, in collaboration with Saban Brands, will bring it Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation, Volume One to DVD September 4, 2012. This 2-DVD set features the first 13 action-packed episodes of the cult hit series, loosely based on both the animated series as well as the live-action films.

Interesting how they say its based on the live-action films. I guess it does have some sort of semi-canon status with the movie turtles...if you ignore how Shredder comes back to life.

He didn't actually die in TMNT II, we're just given strong reason to believe he did.

Comic Book (and by extension, "Movies Based On Comic Books") Death 101: "No Body = No Death", and even then it gets sketchy if it's a main recurring villain who might one day need another action figure.

Point being, the bad guy always comes back. Next Mutation was guilty of some sins all its own, but bringing Shredder back was definitely not one of them, although the way he was used they might as well have left him dead.

I'm still excited for it. I missed it when it was originally on TV, and I've watched some of it on Netflix. It isn't bad, it isn't great. I think a lot of what made it seem silly is the sound effects. So I'll be picking it up when it comes out.

sdp

07-29-2012, 11:21 AM

TNM has plenty of redeeming things about it, sadly it's shunned because of Venus and the sound effects. Far from great but it can be enjoyable, it really shouldn't be treated like TMNT's Jar Jar Binks.

Sad there seems to be Shout! didn't even care to come to the fans to see what we could put on the release, I guess PR's is just a bigger money maker for them, too bad we're getting treated like this not like there's much for them to put on TNM releases but there was room for some minor bonus footage that we won't have..

I wonder if this first set will even sell well enough that they bother releasing a second volume.

Seems odd to me, stretching an unpopular and obscure series out over two releases?
BrianW Explained that stores don't like to sell big sets anymore, so that may be the reason, which is why the MMPR is also being divided into parts, however the MMPR DVD volumes already include the same amount of episodes as the entire TNM so I think it's definitely the case of them trying to milk the most they can out of this short lived series.

As far as unpopular and obscure, it did air in a very popular children's block, not to mention it had good ratings, it was cancelled for various money reasons like Saban going Union and having to pay more actors, it didn't have japanese footage to make production cheaper and every thing needed new props diminishing profits unlike other Saban adaptations of Japanese superhero shows and the license was just expensive, also most of the people buying the set are going to be new kids who will only know the turtles because of the Nick cartoon.

Interesting how they say its based on the live-action films. I guess it does have some sort of semi-canon status with the movie turtles...if you ignore how Shredder comes back to life.

I've seen that "loosely based in the OT and Live-Action movies" nearly 10 years ago, I think it's a case of IGN just copying and pasting old press releases and advertisement. I think it was a way to get people from the OT to watch it, heck even the old NinjaTurtles.com had it listed as the "11th year" in the OT section but it really holds absolutely no continuity with the OT but it does have plenty of references to the movies from copying the personalities, where they lived, Splinter's ear, the foot soldier uniforms, it's grounded more in reality etc. It also doesn't contradict the movies.

Shredder coming back to life is no big deal, we don't really see him die in the second movie, him coming back in the second movie is already a bigger suspension of disbelief than him coming back in TNM.

That'd be just fine, except I can't get them to play any audio. It is supposedly there, but I'm hearing absolutely nothing (and yes, my speakers are working). Hmmm.

And it seems like Shout has been hit or miss with discs having tech issues on other series. But they're very good about replacing discs so you should hit them up.

That would have been the best to have it as a 4 disc set instead of slitting it up. Well, at least it is finally available in the states now and I can toss the VHS.

I think Rose will be the only one who reviews the set that will be able to make music change comparisons so I hope she's up to the challenge. I doubt anyone else will care.
Also I doubt there are continuity problems with the episode change, I'd rather have the complete Vammi saga in Vol.2. Doesn't look like we'll get it but we really needed the PRiS crossover...I'm still holding out, Shout does like to put their sets together in a cardboard box even if it's crappy I'd rather have them together.

This also means Vol.2 will include two clipshows..oh well could be worse the clipshows actually have new footage and one works as a tribute to Venus and the other is a nice episode that shows the rivalry between Raph and Leo. Also one of the clipshows is out of order in the official listings since it includes footage from an episode not seen yet, I hope they put it in the correct place even if it means having two clip shows back to back which is probably the reason they were not aired in continuity order.

The stage show and the music videos are different properties though. You can import the official Dutch DVD with English audio and song lyric subs from eBay.nl for ~$15, but I know that's not the same as having a US release. Question is, do we really want a US release? It'd just include those two Barney-wannabe specials. :sick:

RangerCrew has a review up for the set (http://blog.samuraicast.com/ninja-turtles-the-next-mutation-dvd-review/) and interestingly, the DVD menu uses the original theme song. I don't know why they couldn't use it in the episodes, but whatever.

I would love to know why this is. If it's on the menu they clearly have the rights to the song, so what's the deal?

It's not, it's the full theme. And furthermore, the fact that it's a Saban show further brings things into question. For instance with Power Rangers even after Disney bought the franchise Saban maintained the rights to the music. So I can't fathom why he wouldn't have had at least the main themes from all his other shows covered in the same manner. I feel like there has to be some other kind of explanation for the change.

Well I know that they're doing the same thing with Transformers Prime. Aside from the complete seasons sets, they've also got DVDs with certain episodes that make up arcs from the series. There's the five-part premiere of the series/first season, three-part first season finale, a Target-exclusive with the first four episodes of the third season, and a "best of Bumblebee" DVD. Other companies might do the same thing too, even if you don't think it makes sense.

This is also the same company that's putting out Power Rangers DVDs. If you might be familiar with it, there's a five-part Green Ranger introduction from the series' first season to which they'd probably give that treatment.

On the volume two slip cover it has a sticker that says that the bonuses included in the set are the two PR episodes and a behind the scenes featurette. Where is the featurette? Am I missing something???? There is a music video however. WTH?

Apparently, The Next Mutation will get a complete series reissue on May 10th, exclusively at Wal-Mart.

Next Mutation is getting a complete series box set reissue, while 2k3 isn't even so much as getting season set reissues?

Life can be so cruel.

I already have the two single releases, but if this has any bonus features (highly doubtful) I'll double dip & flip my originals.

I might get it for shelf space reasons years from now. Until then, hard no for me.

If only Shout! Factory had the rights to that series. Or all the other TMNT series for that matter.

I'm pretty sure it won't. The only benefit from this is freeing up shelf space, which wouldn't really be much. Still, even I'd get this if I was a fan and had the two existing volumes.
