Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation, Volume 2 Bonus Features

[Luke795]

The second volume has the two Power Rangers crossover episodes and then also has the original promotional music video.

Guitar Raph will completely lose it...

[oldmanwinters]

Unexpected, but very cool!

EDIT: If true, of course! :-P
I've been disappointed by promised bonus features from Shout Factory that didn't quite make it onto the actual discs.

[CyberCubed]

The Power Ranger eps will probably be there as Shout releases that series to DVD as well so I'm not worried.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Oh wow, wasn't expecting any kind of bonus features, and this is the first I've heard of a promotional music video...not that I'm uh, expecting a lot from it.

I still need to pick up the first set for this, but I'm resisting because I also still need the old toon, and I'd rather THAT be my first TMNT buy, over...well, this. :P

[LeoNerdo]

Awesome!! Even if I'm not a PR fan I was hopeful those episodes would be on there to make it feel more complete.

[pannoni1]

Great job Saban/Shout for providing a nice compilation; I'll be purchasing this when I find a good deal (along with Zordon-era Power Rangers).

You got that right! Just like Curly!

Exciting stuff! I very much so look forward to its release.

[cammy85]

Two?? They were in Shell-Shocked, but also in the last minute of "Save Our Ship, before that. Why add the whole episode just for that small bit?

[CyberCubed]

If I'm remembering correctly didn't the Turtles have different voices in the crossover episodes from the regular show? I don't understand why that happened.

Yes. I'm pretty sure it was a union thing, such as what prevented the original toon voices from coming back for Turtles Forever.

[sdp]

Kind of weird they include both episodes when they only appear less than a minute in the previous episode, why not just include that 1 minute before. Glad that the crossover is there though.

IIRC TNM was already cancelled by the time PRiS aired but they still had the license and decided to use them.

Fun thing is TNM and PRiS were filmed in different locations, this is also why none of the cast of TNM had anything to do with it which leads to continuity issues like the personality of the turtles and not to mention the fighting scenes are much different, IMO they are much better in this crossover than in the actual hsow.

It helps that the Turtles actually USE their weapons in the crossover.

[CyberCubed]

At least Shout Factory does a competent job with releases and makes sure to put out all bonus material. I didn't expect the Power Ranger crossover to be included but here it is.

Man we really needs these guys to release the 4kids series on DVD, they would do a fantastic job.

[ToTheNines]

Very excite!

Mainly because I can get rid of the embarrassing bootleg PRiS DVD on my Turtles shelf.

[CyberCubed]

I wonder where they'll place the Power Rangers ep on the set. After episode 26?

The last episode was a clip show if I remember correctly.

Dont you think it would make that pisode harder to follow if they did that?

[ZariusTwo]

I sort of see his point, Astronema's decision to kidnap the Turtles is very last minute and doesnt play a big part in the overall story of "Save Our Ship" it's just tacked on as a cliffhanger tease for the next episode. With some creative editing, they could even incorporate it into the pre-credits. That said, it's probably better to leave both episodes untouched.

Aren't the two PRIS episodes supposed to just be special features? Besides, despite the crossover, I think the Ninja Turtles exist in that form in the PR series in an alternate universe anyway.

[Fugitoid Jones]

I'm really excited for this if they actually do include the PRIS crossover! Even if they don't, it should be a nice set anyway.

I wonder what it will be priced at under 10 or 15 maybe?

[LeoNerdo]

Michelangelo's body doesn't look very connected to his body, lol. I know there probably isn't much to work with on these sets but the artwork is pretty awkward/funny.

[CyberCubed]

Ah, Next Mutation is the only series where the finale was a goddamn clip show. A CLIP SHOW.

They should have killed Venus off in the last episode or sent her to the Astral Plane or something where she would watch over it as a protector.

[oldmanwinters]

Didn't Swat Kats end with a clip show episode?

I seem to remember that did one near the very end of the series.

He might mean that it's the only TMNT series to end with a clip show. I know that Kamen Rider Dragon Knight ended with one though, and it was intended to be the show's season (or even series) finale.

Yeah Mikey and Venus look like their bodies' aren't attached to their respective heads'.

[eoireitum7]

I agree it's kind of awkward looking. Still like it though

[TheCanadiandrome]

Well I had no luck finding the first one in stores so I'm thinking I'll get these both from amazon

Why would you want that?

I found mine at target on a black friday trip.

[ZariusTwo]

You'd be lucky to find a Saban show not called Power Rangers with any concrete clousre 'Cubed.

[bloodstainedwings]

I just ordered both volumes on amazon, I am happy I got them now before they were sold out. It is the Christmas season after all.

[Guitar_Raph]

Saw the music video, AWESOME!!!

Could someone make screencaps of Mikey playing the drums?

[ToTheNines]

Why the hell did they use the same box art again?

[Powder]

Gonna head out today, hopefully I will find this in my travels.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I found mine at target on a black friday trip.

Unfortunately I don't have that luxury :cry:

[Powder]

Got my copy at Target today. Feels so good to finally have this series on DVD, complete no less.

[high3]

Time for me to hit Amazon! The power Ranges in space crossover hurts my brain though...Why, Why did these 2 shows do a crossover?

I tend to wonder the same thing myself.

[cammy85]

For the same reason the Masked Rider and the MMPR teamed up at the beginning of MMPR Season 3. The only difference this time is that TNM had already started. They're both Saban shows.

[sdp]

Do we know of any other edits that were made like in the first set? there was some missing dialog, I'm not talking about the replaced music.

Well that I didn't mind, since I had no problem with Masked Rider as silly as it was, and even that teamup. Strangely enough though, I had no intention of watching Masked Rider until I saw the teamup. Then I watched the show (mainly because I wanted to see if the Power Rangers might make an appearance at some point) and found that I could actually sit through it all. I can't say the same about TMN though. I only made it up to the 15th episode and decided I've seen enough.

Yeah, I told you it was strange.

I hear you on that!! Masked Rider was better then TNM. :( I liked TNM's fight scenes and Bonesteel, that's about it.

It's funny, Saban crossed over Masked Rider and Power Rangers decades before Toei got around to doing Kamen Rider vs Super Sentai:

http://ryattareviews.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/super-hero-taisen-all-riders-sentai1.png (image is way too big, lol)

I'm sure they could throw the Ninja Turtles in there somewhere, lol.

I rather love crossovers, and wouldn't mind seeing another one down the road. Of course, I would like the series to be good prior to crossing over, lol.

I really do need to see this at some point. I only ever saw the crossover episodes, as I never knew this show existed until years later. Should be fun.

[CyberCubed]

What's the cheapest place online to find this? Amazon has it for $15 but that's still too much for something I know I won't enjoy much.

I'm hoping to find it for somewhere for about $10.

[Hardshell]

The cheapest price I can find it for is around $14.99 or so, which isn't too bad. But like you, I don't know if this is a DVD set I would revisit time and time again. I imagine I still will pick them up over the holidays, though.

[Powder]

I paid $12.99 at Target in-store if that's any help.

[Bjarni]

Awesome! can't wait to buy it!

[CyberCubed]

So I've been watching the DVD now, and while some episodes have decent concepts, they're just executed terribly. I just can't get over the awful sound effects and the, "dumb downed" nature of the villains and the way the Turtles act.

Its funny, because you watch the original cartoon which was aimed at kids yet it managed to make everything work. Even though Shredder, Krang, etc. were bumbling half the time and always lost, they did it in a way where it actually worked.

"Wick" is a typical annoying sidekick villain that just reeks of poorly made kids shows. And the way Silver's henchmen overreact remind me of the 60's Batman cartoon. I also don't like how the Rank are so incompetent that they bump into each other and fall over one another.

I do like Andre and the concepts of a good dragon were nice, but it was just written badly every other way.

[Guitar_Raph]

Guitar Raph will completely lose it...

You overlooked another thing.

On the episode, Good Dragon, the fight scene had Mikey playing the organ! Man, wish I had screencaps of that & when he's playing the drums!
