A place to list TMNT-related things at this year's New York Comic Con, to help those of us who are attending catch all the ninja mutant goodness.

So far I know of the following:
- a panel on Nick's TMNT show on Friday at 6:45
- Ross Campbell will be present in artist's alley
- exclusive print of Tyler Walpole's cover to IDW issue #10 will be available

Has anyone heard of anything else? Any Nick or IDW exclusives? Other writers/artists associated with TMNT present? List it!

I'll be posting all the TMNT-related info I can gather on Ninja Pizza, probably on Monday.

I know Dario Brizuela will be there, and he's got a really sweet print of the Nick Turtles he'll be selling.

Ok, maybe you can post it here too?

Good thread idea. I'll see you all there, I'm excited that NY is finally getting some WELL DESERVED TMNT love this Con!

I was going to make last minute plans, and then IDW limited came up with a gun and was like "give me all your money", and I was like "ok".

Hey all. This might be my first post here. HUGE TMNT fan... from way back to the beginning, before the first TV series. I have all my original 80s comics & figures, NECA, 4Kids set and the latest figures. All the original comics... recently got a Leo tattoo (my avatar).

This year will be my first NYCC. I will be there Saturday. Any more updates on events, artists, exclusives? Thanks!

Maybe I'll see some of you there!

Thanks for the info. Didn't realize Dooney would be there! What do his commissions typically run? Is that something artists do over the course of the convention, or mail them out later? And then there are sketches, what do artists charge for those (I'm sure it varies but maybe there's a ballpark? What would Dooney charge, for instance?) New to the con scene and just want to get my bearings before I take the plunge! Any input appreciated. :)

Thor? Yeah, he'll be there.

NYCC Comic Con was a blast, the Nick TMNT Panel was incredible: honest, candid, and we got a great reel of upcoming goodies. The "host" of the panel was a little off-putting, basically saying that anybody who favors the 2k3 over the OT is crazy. But the actual TMNT staff and panel was a blast. We're really lucky to have a guy like Ciro at the helm.

I had such a fun time, got a beautiful Donnie sketch and other prints from Ross Campbell, had David Peterson sign my Donnie micro cover, and bumped into Rob Paulsen in the bathroom. Truly a fantastic and thrilling time! It was great meeting the lot of you (Tokka, funatic, etc.)!

The con is full of TMNT cosplayers of all kinds! It's really so great. I haven't worn a costume since I was 10 years old but now I want to be a ninja turtle for Halloween!

At the con I got a giant OT Krang for $20 and a MOC TMNT:TNM Venus for $15! I'm kind of aiming for one of the 1988 plush turtles tomorrow :fshifty:

Did anyone ask about Leatherhead? Hero or villain? When will he appear?

Powder

10-12-2012, 11:50 PM

...Did you even bother to read the article you just linked?

"We also got a glimpse of Leatherhead and Mousers. Leatherhead looked incredibly intimidating (especially for a kids show) and the Mousers were covered in extremely shiny chrome and the inside of their mouths had vibrant red designs. Speaking of Leatherhead, Ciro showed us a quick (and not complete) video of the team battling the villain. There was no audio, so the voice actors ad libbed some hilarious dialogue and battle cries."

Comic Con was a blast! I'm declaring it the Year of the Turtle. For those lucky enough to have weekend passes, if you didn't do it Friday, please VISIT ROSS CAMPBELL IN ARTIST'S ALLEY! The man is as awesome as his artwork. He had free BEAUTIFUL prints, and will do a high quality sketch for you, all whilst geeking out over the turtles! It's great to see true turtle fans taking over the franchise in this fashion. As Donnie said, judging by the clip reel, Ciro is steering the show in the right direction. That panel was a joy. Another turtle highlight of my day was seeing a Turtlemania Silver at one of the collectible comics booths (which I can't for the life of me remember the location, sorry). The most hard-to-find TMNT items I've ever seen in one booth, not just comics but original art, the oldschool pins, fanclub subscription card, patchwork kits, etc. Got a nice big print from '89 of the first RtNY panel there. Is the red-headed chap who was telling me he has a Turtlemania Gold on the drome? (I can't imagine you wouldn't be from what I heard of your collection.) It was great to meet all the other dromers as well. This was my first-ever con and I can't believe what I've been missing. Hope to be back next year!

STFU already. Nickelodeon panel has nothing to do with this.

Really enjoying NYC Comic Con! The panel was totally awesome the long line of clips they showed had so much to offer for this new season, some of my favorite stuff had the Turtles fighting with Baxter Stockman! I will be writing up a full detailed post about it.

Some of the other stuff there is the Lego booth, where they had the set of TMNT toys revealed on Thursday and we're putting together a wall with a TMNT image, any fan can help put a square together. I know Tokka, Fugitoid, Miki and I worked on it for about an hour helping out Thursday night near closing.

Another thing is a walk through area being done up like a sewer tunnel for TMNT. With video and stuff. Really looks cool, and got an area near there where you can pose with the Turtle mascots.

Here are some interviews I did on Thursday at New York City Comic Con...

Anyone who sees me at the con and would like a sticker from the Nickelodeon series just ask, I'll be giving them out as long as supplies last. Gave some out in the TMNT panel line last night.

Awesome today. It was VERY crowded, almost overwhelmingly at times. I got to meet Ross Campbell (very very cool guy), made a couple lego blocks for the mural and the Turtle Tunnel was awesome.

It was great to see so much TMNT love. They were everywhere. :tgrin:

I had another successful day. I did manage to get my plush Donnie for $12 from a vendor because he's missing his mask (oh well!). That's the only turtle related thing I got at the con today. I did see one booth with the new Metal Head and Dog Pound figures, but I passed on them for now. I'm sure I'll see them again soon.

which one? NYCC seems quite good, but SDCC is the one to see if you have never been. hope you like lines though... :(

personally i'm from the bay area and our local con is Wondercon. I've been and it was really amazing, the panels were the best part.

SDCC is not a good place to pop your con cherry. It's overwhelming. Try something a bit smaller first, I'd say!

kzekedaurus

10-14-2012, 01:25 AM

Yeah, I've been warned by friends about the overcrowded conditions, but I won't be sworn off until I see one. The ones we have here kinda... well, they stink. I was actually considering the SDCC one year, when I actually had money to travel. But thanks for the advice, guys.

Zulithe

10-14-2012, 01:32 AM

I really didn't enjoy the NYCC 2012 TMNT panel much at all. For starters all the cool footage was cut, including the concept art. Then, the questions were **** we learned nothing really new or interesting that we hadn't already heard at SDCC or in online interviews... the Panel moderator was terrible at directing the conversation. the first TWELVE minutes of an only 45min panel spent doing nothing but introducing the panel

SDCC panel really put it to shame.

Still hope we get a better version with footage included (on nick.com maybe?)

I'm sure it is, but I've been wanting to go for a really long time. Besides I already popped my con cherry when I went to the New York Comic Con in 2010.

This was my first con and it was fantastic. I had a great time meeting lots of celebrities absurd was nice to see the turtle presence. I had great convos with Rob Paulson, Ross Campbell, and Sean Astin about things. I was especially psyched about Astin spending time to chat with how long his line was.

I was bummed about Dooney though... I went to him after having an amazing convo with Ross Campbell and he wound up being rather cold. Didn't want to talk... Gave me the "ill take your money and run" feeling. Erik Larson was also very brief.

Over all it was great and ill do this again. I'm in the LGA airport and when I get time this week ill post some pics of stuff!

Oh, I know about this. I ran into the author by complete coincidence at a small con in San Jose a few months ago. I think it should be rather neat.

And about Dooney, my experience with him has been that he's a quiet guy who doesn't always engage in conversation, but if a topic comes up that he's got something to say about, he'll happily chat.

Kinda felt the same way, so maybe we should have gone to Ross last. :twink: We have to remember that both Dooney and Larson are a bit removed from the property now though, so turtle talk might have grown stale at this point. Larson said he hadn't drawn a turtle in a while when he did me a sketch (though I know he was busy drawing them afterward, as I overheard someone drop $500 for a four-turtle commission! :teek:), and man, that guy has a CRAZY inking style, with an over hand grip on the pen - awesome and bizarre!
