MWA HA HA HA FOGU GOT FOXBOX

[Cherubae]

I think there'll be a problem w/ people getting their FOXBox's. The first 2 Toys R Us stores that I called had never even HEARD of the FOXBox. The 3rd one knew what a FOXBox was, but their email stated that they were suppose to be given out before September, but there was no date saying WHEN they were suppose to be given out. Luckly she was nice enough to put one aside for me so I grabbed the train and took a trip downtown to pick it up :)

So far this is what I have up -

http://www.fogu.com/toon/foxbox/FoxBox_TMNT_811.jpg

The "mimi tmnt comic" is actually drawn by Michael Doony so no sneak-peak of what the Turtles might look like. It's basically the first few pages of TMNT #1 (1984-style) where the boys battle against the Purple Dragon Gang. There's also a video too that comes with the box, but you can see the mpg's on the cd that it comes with. There's a TMNT one but it's more of a "coming soon!" where it shows a group of 4 real turtles sitting on a manhole cover next to a container of ooze that says T.C.R.I.

The cd also has some tmnt wallpaper on it in .bmp format and a black and white picture you can print out and color. I guess you can PRETEND that you're coloring in the Turtles since it's only the same black outlike that we've seen before :)

Oh yea, it also has a MP3 of the new Turtle theme song :) very garoovy.

*edit* I went back through and took some more photos and uploaded some of the stuff that was on the cd. If you can't wait to see what's in the FOXBox (or you're International from the USA and you won't get one) you can view the stuff at http://www.fogu.com/toon/foxbox/ . I don't know how many people are going to be able to get the FOXBox, since only 1 of my TRU stores knew about it. The email was sent out to the managers on the 20th but with no real details as what to do with the boxes; just have them out of the store by September. Some stores may have already given out their boxes and it's possible some others have just trashed them.

[PWDESAI]

sweet can't wait, i thought they were supposed to come out august 31, i hope i can get a lot of them.

[Nturtle]

EEP!!!! SO COOL!!!!! MUST HAVE FOXBOX!!!!!!! :o :o

[Kali]

Sweet. I better call and make sure my local store has one they can hold for me before I take the long walk up there.

[Nickokapo]

:o that's so cool... *saves pics/mp3 to disk and den' puts the pic as a wallpaper* :thyper:
Hmmmmmm...attack of the giant-turtle-eating-cat :evilgrin: *goes away for another couple o' days :dead: *

[Skeletoncrew]

Thanks for the info! I'll be hitting Toy's R Us tomorrow to find out what's happening!

[Cherubae]

Thanks for the info! I'll be hitting Toy's R Us tomorrow to find out what's happening!

I got a box from the Lloyd Center TRU. The Clackamas and Tigard ones had no idea what I was talking about. I didnt call the Janzen Beach one though, so you might have luck there :P

"... kick butt action!"

[Karpo_007]

Thank you very much for your effort! Im living in finland, so no possibility of getting that stuff elsewhere. Thank you!

[Kali]

I now have that theme song stuck in my head. :teek:

[Karpo_007]

i tought it was nice...

[Nickokapo]

Well the wallpapers gave me a crc error when trying to decompress em :-?
But the other stuff was cool...specially the theme song and the preview clip...errrr...nah the clip was kinda boring :ohwell:

[Kali]

i tought it was nice...
Yeah, I thought it was nice too. Hell, I think it's damn cool, but it's stuck in my head now. :lol: It's a great tune, but I don't want it stuck in my head, ya know?

[Karpo_007]

The wallpapers worked fine for me... In fact im using it right now!
I hope we could see how the turtles look, soon... If they are like in the mini comic i would be happy!

[Nturtle]

truthfully the themesong sounded preety bad, maybe I'm too tied down to the 80's but I get the feeling they want to aim it at todays kids :dead:

[Karpo_007]

I think it was good... But the original series had much more kiddy theme than this... "When evil shredder attacks..."

[Nickokapo]

Well the wallpapers won't work for me karpo :dead: oh well...
truthfully the themesong sounded preety bad, maybe I'm too tied down to the 80's but I get the feeling they want to aim it at todays kids :dead:
:lol: well i liked it...but it doesn't beat the old tmnt theme imo :wink:

[Karpo_007]

I can send it to you by email or irc or whatever...

[Nickokapo]

ah, sure i'll go to irc :D

[Nturtle]

:lol: well i liked it...but it doesn't beat the old tmnt theme imo :wink:
Maybe I had my expectations raised to high, like it would be just like the original :P It reminded me too much of TMN though :dead:

[Nickokapo]

Yeah...i think i never thought on how it would be the theme, all this time i was thinking on the animation...but i like how they sing "teenage mutant ninja tuuuuuuurtles!" :P

[Nturtle]

the first about 15 seconds is preety bad :dead:

[Nickokapo]

well yeah i agree with yah i didn't liked the first part :oops: but it got better latter imo...i liked it :)

[HorseTechie]

ooo wowsa! Hey, thanksie Cher for posting this up, maybe there is good in one who obsesses over gold underwear after all! Now I don't have to totally embarrass myself by going into a Toys R Us and get one of these things (which I prolly won't like, since the other toons don't interest me). I only wanted to see what's new for the TMNT... no need to collect it. :P

[Nturtle]

:lol: just tell anyone who gives you a weird look that it is for your kids HT :P

[Karpo_007]

well now that i have all stuff in my computer the fox box dosent seem so interesting

[HorseTechie]

Exactly! The original TMNT comics I have are better than that FoxBox one, and there's nothing new really, other than the logo and the theme song. :goofygri:

That theme song does sound like it lacks something though. Sounds like they are trying to be like the Tour Turtles, but the music just doesn't have enough rythm. Or that they say teeange mutant ninja turtles too much. hrmm.. :oops:

[Aztec General]

Sweet! If that comic is any reflection of how the TMNT are going to look, fight, and act on the new show; I'll be the happiest son of a bitch on the planet!

[Karpo_007]

Agreed! my toughts exactly

[Nturtle]

well I'm stil going to watch on Sept 1st then we'll get to see the turtles!!!! :evilgrin:

[Karpo_007]

It is probably the same video...

[Nickokapo]

If it is then i'd be dissapointed :oops: the canister thing was so stupid...but maybe it isn't, maybe it's a sneak peak to the new cartoon :evilgrin:

[Karpo_007]

I honestly liked the canister thing...

[Nickokapo]

Well...i liked it, but it wasnt what i was expecting so i was dissapointed :ohwell:

[Karpo_007]

true there are supposedly pictures about leo and raph! check new tmnt discussion. but i could not get the url to work

[Nickokapo]

:o cool!
I'll check new tmnt discussion right away :thyper:

[Nturtle]

DAMN!!! IT WAS WORKING!!! it had a pic of all the tmnt!!!!! and a broken link they must be building the site right now!!!!!!!! :o

[Nickokapo]

Cool you got to see them...the link does exist because wadew also has been able to see it, he even took a pic of it...oh well, i'll be reloading the site now and then to see if they put it back, but they're probably just building the site right now :ohwell:

[Nturtle]

THE RETURN OF TMN IS ON THE WAY!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!! :D :D :D

[Nickokapo]

INDEED! :D
It seems that it was worth the wait, now more and more tmnt stuff is appearing... :thyper:

[Aztec General]

Oh My God!!!! They look absolutely perfect! They look buff, tough, and mean. That means that they will actually be taken seriously, and that's important to a Mirage fan like myself (and probably Karpo as well). I'm so excited, this going to be huge. I must see this show!

[Nickokapo]

Yeah they look mean...but they're drawn and colored right, not like the red sky eps, i didnt liked those...it's what i thought the new toon turtles would look, this is awesome :D

[HorseTechie]

Yeeeeees! And I don't think they have their intials on their belts either. :thyper:

[Nturtle]

TURTLE POWER!!!! Mikey looks cool in that pic :P

[Nickokapo]

Mikey looks funny :goofygri: :D
Hmmmmm...Yeah they don't have their initials in their belts anymore, that's pretty cool :lol:

[HorseTechie]

*lol* he does look wacked! But... he has NINCHUCKS! Ooo... heeey.. Leo doesn't have his 'sword harness' straps. How does he 'hold on' his swords then? Duct tape?

[Nturtle]

why not? Duct tape solves all? :P

[Kingkapong]

i think duct tape would leave a mark on his shell and i don't think he could clean it, unless he uses varsol and has someone else clean it for him but i don't think anyone would want to clean it. i'd say, stick it in his ear, best place to keep things.

[Nickokapo]

Either way it would look very funny :lol:

[Nturtle]

yeah and then he wouldn't need any q-tips

[Karpo_007]

I must say i like the new look! I tought that the colored bandanas would trouble me but they dont!

[Nickokapo]

yeah and then he wouldn't need any q-tips
:lol: :P It seems like leo has big ears... :dead:
I must say i like the new look! I tought that the colored bandanas would trouble me but they dont!
The colored bandanas are a classic, they can't get rid of em now :sick:
I like the colored bandanas :D :nod:

[Nickokapo]

Link removed, ask karpo.

[Karpo_007]

Yeah im begining to think that he multi color bandanas are more suitable for the cartoon...

[Nickokapo]

Yeah i think they're more sui--WAITAMINUTEHEREMISTER, they don't have any ears! :o That means leo puts his words in his.. :blanksta:

[Karpo_007]

nicko no direct linking...it's my bandwith...

[Nickokapo]

:roll: fine, fine...

[Karpo_007]

no problem..

[Nickokapo]

Oh im sure there isn't, alf :wink:

[azure turtle]

*does the extremely happy dance*
Ooh!!! The turtles are so cool looking! No more initials on their belts, just like HT said. Now I'm looking forward to seeing sneek previews and hearing the VAs. :D

[Nturtle]

hope they use the same kind of VAs as in the CGI pilot

[Karpo_007]

Yeah i remember they sound ok...

[Nickokapo]

Yeah...i'll miss splinter's voice, it was great :ohwell:

[Nturtle]

yup, maybe they will show splinter today

[azure turtle]

*sigh*
I hope the VAs are as good as the original ones. If the VAs match the characters perfectly, then I'll have one less thing to be worried about. :)

[Raphael]

I agree. I love the new TMNT look, in fact it kind of reminds me a bit of the Batman: TAS in terms of the art style. Perhaps if we use that as a guide, we can picture how it will look when it all comes together.

No pupils! ;) They have the TMNT looking quite mean in that... a definate thumbs up!

[azure turtle]

Ya, I gotta agree... The "no pupils" thing is pretty cool. :D

[Karpo_007]

Yeah it is...

[Nturtle]

yeah it makes them look meaner!!! :evilgrin: like in Mirage as oppossed to the goofy cartoon eyes :P

[Karpo_007]

true they look pretty much like in mirage besides the bandanas...

[Nturtle]

I like the diffrent color bandanas, it helps you tell them apart, I read in an interview with Peter Laird that the colored bandanas have grown on him even

[Karpo_007]

I read that too... Red bandanas works for comic but when action gets fast maybe it's easier to have multi colors... besides I think they look cool this time around!

[azure turtle]

I've always liked the different colored bandanas. I'm just happy they don't have their initials etched out on their belts. :razz:

[Nturtle]

yeah that got annoying, they can't be real ninjas if they can only tell each other apart by the big letters on thier belts :P I wonder if they will use the mirage storyline...

[Karpo_007]

yeah... the first episode is pretty much from first 2 comics...
