Dude this rocks! Toysrus is giving away free foxboxes which contain a mini tmnt comic!!! I'll try and get extra for all those that aren't able to get one.

[Karpo_007]

[Karpo_007]

And the turtle logo has been changed! The new one looks cool!

[PWDESAI]

[PWDESAI]

[PWDESAI]

o i guess i can't delete it, EVERYONE IGNORE THIS THREAD I'M REDOING IT

[Karpo_007]

You have to ask admin to repair it...

[PWDESAI]

AZURE can u help? I want it to say
yes, i definately want the new video and mini comic!
no, i don't really care for the new video and mini comic!
no, i have no soul and don't like the tmnt

[Skeletoncrew]

You don't have an edit option on the poll? I thought the creator of any poll could edit it...but then, what do I know?

I know I want a FoxBox! I hope they're not just giving it to kids!

[Karpo_007]

Think you are so old they wont give it to you? Just senf your little brother or sister to get it...

[Skeletoncrew]

I don't have any little brothers or sisters! I suppose I could make up a sob story about how poor little Timmy broke his leg yesterday... :lol: Nah...I'll just assume that they're giving them away in a non-age discriminatory fashion.

[Karpo_007]

Probably... Most of the tmnt fans are near 20...

[PWDESAI]

I'm only 15

[Karpo_007]

well im 17... Neither of us were not even born when first mirage was published... It was 1984 i think...

[azure turtle]

LOL! No wonder people didn't participate in this poll. It's sort of a lose/lose situation. :roll:

I'll see if I can edit it, although I'm sure the creator of the poll should be able to change it. Hmm...

[PWDESAI]

I did change it, but it kept making new no, blah blah blah's an i was getting po'd

[Bowser_Koopa]

ok, misters.....what is a fox box?

[Nickokapo]

A box with a lot of neat spam :D
I wish i lived in TEH USA STATE OF AMAMERECA so that i can get one
here's a link that has more info and some pics...and the new tmnt logo is pretty cool, i might add:
http://www.ninjaturtles.com/html/foxbox.htm

[Bowser_Koopa]

thanx for the info nicko! bout the pics on the box, we now have an idea of how the turtles r gonn a be :) :thyper: , cool it also has kirby!!! i saw some info bout kirby's new show in a super mario super show site.
my vote:
Yes, I definitely want the new video and comic!

[Nickokapo]

Yeah i voted for that too...
And it was very interesting to actually *see* a pic about the new cartoon...for some time now we only had some info, but now there's the logo :evilgrin: this is cool, i can't wait....the kirby show looks good too, i also got the info from a mario site where i download mario eps :goofygri: but i think i don't like the ultimate muscle cartoon thingie :P

[Bowser_Koopa]

honestly....it looks very stupid, hey check this out, isn't that karai? the one next to the second turtle (ihttp://www.ninjaturtles.com/foxbox/box03.jpg) ugh? maybe not, but maybe someone knows :)

[Kali]

The link doesn't work for me.

August 31st happens to be my brother's birthday so maybe we'll take him down with gift certificates. I wonder if they're just handing them out, or if you actually need to buy something. :-?

[Porky]

next to the second turtle? :-?
I don't know, but if you mean the girl with the sword in the picture that says "Fox box" then i'm sure it isn't karai :D
edit:
oink oink, damn it!

[Bowser_Koopa]

well this is the link, if still doesn't work, they have protection against remote linking or something like that next to the second turtle? :-?
I don't know, but if you mean the girl with the sword in the picture that says "Fox box" then i'm sure it isn't karai :D
edit:
oink oink, damn it!thats the first turtle, the one that looks like a robot, i think that not her, i had the crazy idea that she could look like the karai from one of the newest tmnt comics here is the link http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/mirage/volume04/04/04cover.jpg, if the link doesn't work, i mean the one from the 4rth comic issue

[Nickokapo]

OHH now i know what you are talking about...nope that's not karai, that's ultraman, a japanese power ranger-like show, and a pic of him is there because fox box will air ultraman tiga in the 2003...

[Bowser_Koopa]

i knew of that guy a few months ago when i went to electronic boutique they had this huge collection of toys and posters, thats too bad i thought that was karai, btw i thought um was red, thats maybe his new look ...who cares! :evilgrin:

[Nickokapo]

Yeah he was probably red...i saw various pic of him and he was red and white...but i don't really care, i played his game and hated it :dead: i don't think im going to watch his show when it's on fox...his eyes looks like karai's tho :o

~NyarMica

[PWDESAI]

actually it's supposed to keep to it's original dark edgy comic story, but still have some jokes and such still in it. Really a show to appeal to both teens/adults/older fans and kids/new fans
i think it will be really cool and i can't wait
plus if you saw the pic of the new toys, it shows us that the tmnt will also look like the original first 12 issues of the first volume

[Mica]

Nyar gritty? NOOOOOOO!! THey better BE-HAVE! CN already MURDERED He-man while trying to make it "grittier" and more "edgier" (iz better show. just origanal was a LOT cooler... dorkier, but cooler) Oh well... I figger, whatever Foxy-Woxy does with my wittle toitles I'll be happy. I mean, I liked turtle tunes kinda ;) Also, I loved the tour atmosphere/ideas and most ppl hate them :p

~Mica

[Nickokapo]

You got all the NM eps?coolness, yer lucky :goofygri: if you ever encode em i'd appreciate it if you lmk, since all i have from next mutation is the 2 pr & nm crossover eps...and i don't even like the power rangers :P but that's off topic so i'll shut up now.
And about the new cartoon...i havent seen *any* screenshots yet, except for the logo, and all i know is that it's going to air in 2003...hmph, i wish i had some more info :oops: but they released some pics about the new leo toy so i'm assuming that's how the cartoon leo will look :thyper:

[PWDESAI]

yeah that's what they said, it should be like that toy, at least that's what playmates said in an interview with toyfair

[Nickokapo]

coolness! :evilgrin:

[PWDESAI]

FIL

[Nturtle]

FIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Karpo_007]

Well if someone gets it it would be nice to atleast scan the mini comic...

[Kali]

ooohhh otay nick ;) Anywaaaaayyy... I GOTZ ALL NT:TNM EPS NOW!! *does a little dance* and I can give a dubb to kali.. the only small price is.. HER SOUL!!! ;) (j/k... i think) Anyway, if she wants to contact me I can get them to her.
Hey, if you want my soul you can have it! Hey, wait, I thought *I* was the only one in the soul buying business around here!?!

Ok, to keeep this on topic.. anyone know ANYTHING about this new show?? Iz it gunna keep the kewl screwy sense of humor that the orig show has? Will the tmnt know that they're in a show?? ;) hee hee. Any interesting tidbits, screenshots? C'mon, help me here peoples!!! *big anime eyes* I HAVE BEEN COMPUTERLESS FOR SO LONG!!! HELP ME PEOPLES! I'M *STARVING* FOR INFO HERE!!!
We know next to nothing. We do know they're trying to make the mood fall into somewhere between the Mirage comics and the original cartoon. They want it to appeal to teens and older fans, but it's still gotta be okay for Saturday morning. We have no screenshots or character models, no storylines, no idea of supporting charactes outside April, Casey, Shredder, and the Foot. But there's a Fox Bow preview Sept. 1st, plus the promo box Toys R Us is givnig away.

[Karpo_007]

My guess is it will be like the movies... They are like combining mirage and the cartoon... I mean it's dark but there are more obivouse jokes and the the pizza thing + COWABUNGA!

[Mica]

:tgrumble: STOOPID FOX... Oh well... I guess it'll be something more fun :) I'm just used to seeing a lot of info/screenshots on a show before I see it.. maybe it'll be fun seeing not so many! :) It'll be like a surpise or something :twink: hee hee.. at least we don't get to see disembodied turtle parts like we did in the pre-math of NT:TNM :tlol: hee hee.. well, we still have about 6 months till the new show starts.. maybe there will be more...

~Mica (playing wit wittle raph-emoticons .. mmm gunna go eat pizza!! {I hope, maybe taco} :tpizza: )

[Karpo_007]

Well there will be a suprise but there can be disappointment too... But that i dont believe! If it's loosely based on mirage it cant be bad...

[Kali]

The closest preview we've gotten is the new logo and silhouettes on the FoxBox Promo kit. Teasing isn't fair. :tmad:

Psst, Mica, did you know that Amandatello made all those turtle emoticons? They're so cute, aren't they?

[PWDESAI]

:thyper: best one

[azure turtle]

MICA!!! Welcome back, dudette! :D It's been too long since you last visited. Glad to have ya back!
*gives Mica a welcome back mango*

Yep, they haven't shown anything regarding the new show except for those silhouettes and the logo. There are rumors that the Fox Box promo tape may not have any clips of the new show, which would explain why there's a TMNT mini comic. Hmm... I'm still getting the box, though. :anime:

[Kingkapong]

i'm getting my little sister to get them :) :) :) she's somehow got hooked into the ninja turtle mainstream because of me (i'm an influential person :) :) :D ) ) even if there is no ninja turtle clip, at least i get to get something that has a picture of them, better than not getting anything 8)


:tgrumble: :teek: :tsleep: :thyper: these are my favourite

[PWDESAI]

mistro!
ahem
FIIII FIII FIII FIII FIII FIIII
FILLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!

[azure turtle]

I agree with ya, King! All of that cool stuff is better than nothing at all. Yep, I'm definitely getting one.

And Paul, please leave your praises of Fil in this thread (http://www.technodrome.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=653). Going off topic is okay, but please don't spread that to other threads. Thanks. :)

[Karpo_007]

It would be nice to see TNM encoded... im pretty sure that i wouldn't like it, but you never know... I have heard that the biggest mistake was the female turtle... Both Kevin and Peter were strongly against it but fox said that shw had to be in it... Luckily Peter has promised that the female turtle shall never appear in any mirage aproved format...

[Mica]

Thanks fer maaango, blooonyar! :tgrin: yum!

I'm not gunna go into why NT:TNM rocks, because I'll go off on tangents and get all worked up... Bothers me that Peter has forbidden Venus from comics :tneutral: I would like to see other artists' interpitations of a girl turtle... it'd be interesting!!

~NyarMica (This one's still my fave! :tpizza: NYAR MY PIZZA! BAD WAPHIES! hee hee... I shoulda guessed amandatello made them )

[Karpo_007]

Well both Peter and Kevin were against the idea from the start...

[Kali]

*ahem* I hate to tell you this, but Kevin liked the idea of Venus, it was Peter who really hated her. She'd probably still be around in one form or another if Kevin hadn't sold his share to Peter.

But this is the Fox Box thread, so I'm not going to argue about this here.

[Karpo_007]

This is interview with Dan Berger From http://www.ninjaturtlesnetwork.com/Interviews/INTERV009.HTM

There seems to be a debate going on another TMNT Mailing list, about the creation of Venus De Milo. Some claim it was because Fox Pressured Mirage into it,and others Because Kevin and Peter Always wanted a female turle, and NT:TNM just happend to be the place where she fit in. Anything to add on this point? (Neat character by the way :) )

Fox wanted Venus because they felt that a girl Turtle would add something new and exciting to the Turtles' universe (and because they thought she would bring a larger female audience to the Turtles). Kevin and Peter have always opposed the idea... Peter more strongly than Kevin (Peter really thinks that the TMNT's uniqueness is a critical element of the story). Venus was definitely a big point of contention, and it came down to Fox saying that they would not proceed with the live action show without her. Eventually Kevin and Peter agreed to this point.

So i wasn't wrong! Im sure Dan Berger knows what he's talking about...

[PWDESAI]

oh, i thought it was saban not fox....

[Cjd3458]

This has nothing to do with this topic but anyways. How do you add your own avatar on your profile thing?

[PWDESAI]

you get a link and put it where it says link for the avatar, you can't get them off of your hard drive, but you can get krang to host a picture of yours

[azure turtle]

I liked TNM. I was against Venus at first, but after watching a few eps, I really liked the idea of a girl turtle. Oh well...

Back to the Fox Box. The CD Rom is supposed to have music from four of the shows. Does anyone think that the new TMNT theme song will be in it? I hope it's like the original cartoon theme (not the newer version during the Red Sky eps).

[Cherubae]

Kevin kind of liked Venus - he even drew a picture of her on the last pages of his TMNT Autobiography book.

I'm going to be 100+ miles from the nearest Toys R Us on the 31st :cry: I'm hoping to bribe my room mate and neighbor to go to the TRU that's 1/2 mile away from where we live :D


- Cher
WORSHIP MY GU!

[azure turtle]

Kevin wrote an autobiography??? Woah, when was this?

[Cherubae]

You haven't seen it? It's 294 pages of TMNT art :)



http://www.fogu.com/incoming/mage007.jpg

I dont know if it's available at book stores yet, Kevin was selling them at the Heavy metal booth at this year's Comic Con. If you need to special order it, it's ISBN is 1-882931-85-8 and it's retail price is $40 (the white spot in my photo is the flash from my camera.)


- Cher

[azure turtle]

Woah, sweet!!! Thanks for the info, Cherubae!! I'll definitely look into that... :D

[Skeletoncrew]

*sigh* Yet another thing I just HAVE to have. :) I'll add it to my Yule list.

[Karpo_007]

I would want to have that too... Dont know where to get it tough...
