Panda Khan: The Action Figure

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

Where did Panda Khan come from? I know he was never featured in the cartoon, and he most certainly was never in any of the video games.

Was he in any of the comics?

Here is a link to his action figure:

Any thoughts? He's one of my favorite Ninja Turtles action figures; I just don't know where he came from!

"Eat blazin' electric death, toitles!" - Rocksteady, from "Shredder & Splintered"

[azure turtle]

Wow... His toy profile says that he's a samurai from the future! An earth ruled by pandas... How bizarre. :embarass:

[Azraelito]

yeah it rules.
i think i have see him in usagi yogimbo comics.
i was going to make the same question akakkaka.

[Nturtle]

wow, cool, maybe he was one of those 1 time only for a split second kind of characters...

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

There are a few episodes of the cartoon I haven't seen, but I doubt he was ever in the series. Nonetheless, he's a cool figure.

"Not to be picky, but exactly where are we herding these oversized house pests?" - Raphael, from "Big Bug Blunder"

[Nturtle]

There are lots of TMNT toys that never appeared in the cartoon, but Azraelito maybe right, I haven't really read Usagi Yojimbo though

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

There was a comic about Usagi Yojimbo?

"Man? Is that how you refer to me? What's next? Rat-faced dude guy?!" - Splinter, from "Michaelangelo Meets Bugman"

[Nturtle]

Of course!!! thats where hes from!!!!!

[Machias Banshee]

I love that quote scene!


*ahem* I actually found a small graphic novel of Usagi at my library! I was so surprised, i read the whole thing...it was neat! :D

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

Did Usagi Yojimbo come from the Archie series or the Mirage series or . . . ?

"That was a note! You were supposed to read it, not eat it!"
"I thought that sandwich was sliced awfully thin!"

Donatello and Irma, from "Donatello's Degree"

[Nturtle]

yup, it looks preety cool!!! "Graphic Novel" :lol: another fancy word for a comic book :P

[azure turtle]

NTC Fan: Usagi Yojimbo was actually a crossover character. His comic book is still ongoing, and it's being published by Dark Horse. In Turtle Soup #1, he actually battles Leonardo in a one-on-one battle. :)

[Karpo_007]

It was originally pubished by mirage, but nowdays by Darkhorse...

[Kali]

yup, it looks preety cool!!! "Graphic Novel" :lol: another fancy word for a comic book :P
Well, to be technical, a Graphic Novel is to a comic book what a written novel is to a short story.

[azure turtle]

It was originally pubished by mirage, but nowdays by Darkhorse...
Actually, Fantagraphics was the original publisher. Then Mirage picked it up for a brief run. After Mirage's run, Dark Horse picked up the title, and Usagi's been there ever since. I looked this up a while ago, since I was curious about where the Usagi Yojimbo comic started. I did a search at mycomicshop.com and this is what I found (http://www.mycomicshop.com/megastore/search.cfm?qry=usagi%20yojimbo&pcat=Comics-All).

[Machias Banshee]

Yes, Mr. Smartyshell... :P :D

[Karpo_007]

Thanks for corrction

[Nturtle]

yup, it looks preety cool!!! "Graphic Novel" :lol: another fancy word for a comic book :P

ok sorry, I still can't help but crack up when I hear comics being refered to as Graphic novels, of course I love comics and have respect for the paiinstaking time it takes to make them. But it still sounds funny :P

[Azraelito]

kakakka usagi yogimbo rules i read up to number 25,now they are in number 62 i think.

[Kali]

I know, Nturtle. It's like people are trying to make them sound sophisticated. Most people who use the term "Graphic Novel" just don't wanna be labeled "comic book readers" because many people think comics are still just for kids. It's not the term that cracks me up, but when people go "It's NOT a comic book, it's a Graphic Novel! Comic books are for kids!" :roll:

[Azraelito]

yep they also confused the term graphic novel with manga because viz comics the one that licensed too many mangas they put graphi novel adventure.

[Nturtle]

:lol: Exactly what I mean Kali!!! I'm proud to say I read comic books!!!!

[azure turtle]

Yes, Mr. Smartyshell... :P :D
Hmph... :razz:

Heh heh... I've met a few people who say that graphic novels aren't comic books. Funny, ain't it? :lol:

I read comic books, and if someone asks me what my interests are, I won't fail to mention that. I don't care if I get weird looks. Comics aren't just for kids. :D

[Nturtle]

Right on!!! I read comics books and the newspaper comics everyday!!!! :D

[Azraelito]

kakka i also read the comics of the newspapers akakkaka.

[Karpo_007]

kakka i also read the comics of the newspapers akakkaka.

:lol: "kakka" means **** in Finnish! Or maybe poo would be more accurate translation... You get the point! :wink:

[Azraelito]

jajajajajaj i didnt know that one.
thx karpo akakkaka.

[azure turtle]

LOL!!! :lol:
*wipes away a tear*
Omigosh... That was too funny...
*snicker*

[Nturtle]

:lol: really? I didn't know that one!!! doesn't Kaka mean shi- in Spanish too? but how should I know I'm just a whimpy latin kid :P

[Machias Banshee]

I remember once that someone told me NEVER to ask for Sanka coffe somewhere...they ended up bring him a cup full of pig poop..... *gag* True story...

[Nturtle]

*licks lips* sounds tasty!! :P

[azure turtle]

*gags*
YUCK!! :sick:

[Nturtle]

:lol:

[Azraelito]

**** in spanish is caca or mierda.

kakakak is the laugh :D.

[Nturtle]

okay, as for pig doo doo, it ain't so bad when you get used to the taste!! :evilgrin:

[azure turtle]

Ugh... Okay, let's talk about something else, shall we? ;)

[Karpo_007]

But **** is so intresting topic :lol:

[azure turtle]

LOL! It was for a while, but someone might get offended by the language (or grossed out by the subject matter :dead: ). Let's try to keep it clean, okay?

[Machias Banshee]

Back to Panda Khan!

hmmm, was there ever an ep that had Usagi in it? I seem to think there was...

[Karpo_007]

There was two: Usagi yojimbo and usagi come home.

[azure turtle]

Phew... thank, Machias! :D I don't know if Panda's ever appeared in the cartoon. He might've been in the Archies comics, but I haven't read far enough to know for sure.

[Nturtle]

:lol: good thing we switched back the subject that little shi- crisis was getting out of hand!! :P
heres some Panda Khan info I found:

[azure turtle]

Heh heh... My roommate has a Panda Kahn action figure all set up in our room. He's underneath the lamp, facing off against a Triceraton.

I wouldn't be surprised if Panda Kahn made an appearance in Usagi's comic... I just love the idea that he's a samurai from the future! :D

[Ratking]

yeah, Panda khan was NEVER in the cartoon and was ONLY in the comic books.
