OK, SO I AUTOMATICALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO THAT DAY. I'LL BE THERE TO CAPTURE THE EVENT ON VIDEO AND MANY PHOTOS. WHEN I DO, I'LL POST THEM UP. CANT WAIT.

That is too awesome. I hope I get a chance to see it on TV. If not, I'll have your photos to look forward to though, so I'm covered either way.

That should be pretty sweet!!! Doubt I'll actually watch it, but the pics should be cool...

If I lived in NYC or close by, I'd probably go too. I hope to see our green boys on tv

hmm I wonder what they will look like costume wise? I have always wanted to go see that parade just once, wish this was the year :-?

NO DOUBT THIS IS WHAT THEY'LL LOOK LIKE. THESE COSTUMES HAVE BEEN ON TOUR ALL AROUND THE U.S. FOR SOMETIME NOW AND I AM PRETTY SURE THESE ARE THE GUYS THAT WILL SHOW UP FOR THE PARADE.

*nods* Those are actually pretty nice costumes! They don't look too weird like they have the capability to do sometimes... even with shaded arms and legs! Can't wait!

Macy's Thanksgiving Parade from the 1991 had the guy's riding in a '61 Cadillac, wearing santa hats.

Heres a video courtesy of Matt of X-E for those who havn't seen it.

Those costumes are some of the best i've seen of the TMNT, there have been some truley horrific ones :o

Like these

Still better then NT:TNM.

Security seems to have taken there weapons away:D

:o those are vaguely Grotesque I cencerily Dobt thoses ones would be used

I think grotesque would be a mild comment.....those are beyond awful

I think they did a good job with the new costumes Im just dissapointed that they haven't come to CA:ohwell:

They were also used in the old TMNT toy commercials, here they are seen in the 'Bowling Game" one.

That pic is beyond creepy .......actually scary

Very nightmare inducing, ohhh, and the first pic of the scary costumes is from the '94 Christmas Special VHS

They'd make a good horror movie with those costumes... TMNT tearing their victims apart with that insanely evil grin on...8)

With the smiles permanently fixed on their faces, the voice dubbing is absolutely ridiculous, Donatello would say something while standing perfectly still, or start mouthing words when there's nothing to be heard. Worse then the Godzilla films.

whoever did those costumes and thought kids would like them was probably high or something.....or he probably hates kids

Here's something odd, a bag from (put country here), that has those costumes on it. :o

Definitely a French-speaking country.

Thanks Weapon X. I'm going to have nightmares after that.:|

why are they looking down....and what happenned to Leo's katana?:ohwell:

That's not a katana anymore.

That's a lancet.

And they are looking down at their heavily bleeding yet still alive prey that gazes at them with horror...

<My imagination is strong>

The hilt is real, but the blade looks drawn. :P

Sorry Rob.

Indeed I was thinking something similar ....:|

What Is A Common Turtle Decease?

Usually its called mutagen gone rancid

Yeah, a little too much chlorine in that gene pool.

Hey, LUCKFF? What source did you get this from? 'Cause I so wanna use this as my current event!:lol: :P

I think its from the TMNT official site

I GAVE THE OFFICIAL SITE THE HEADS UP. MY ORIGINAL SOURCE WAS TOONZONE.NET: http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=6745
THEIR ORIGINAL SOURCE WAS 4KIDS

coolnesss thanks for posting the image! Not to bad that's what I was hoping for the most part. Too bad they can't get an army of puppteers and the original costumes from Henson's creature shop. Those are very kid friendly though. I think the TMNT will be a great highlight in this years parade...

Okay so I didn't see them... I watched all morning both channels that were showing it at different points. I was on practically on top of the kitchen tv while I was cooking and no TMNT. :cry:
Did anyone catch a glimpse?

I saw this Macy thing too just for TMNT they never showed them. WHO BEEPING lied? Or was TMNT replaced for some crappy other float? Man that ticks me off.getting us TMNT fans hope up then BOOM lieing to us!:x

Are you serious? I'm watching the parade right now, it's in the last hour. Are you sure they don't appear, I'm not watching this crap for my health.

They....didn't...'sob'...'sniffel'...'groan'...... show them!!!!!:cry: :cry: :cry:

I know...I don't usually watch it the whole way through, I am really annoyed they didn't even acknowledge them. They had a barbie float for crying out loud! AGH!!!

I didn't watch it. First time of not watching it. >.> And I didn't know the TMNT were "supposed" to be in it. Oh well. This thread has gave me a big laugh, although I would have liked to have seen some people in strange turtle getups. ;)

See, I think they must have been in the section of the parade that got edited because of the balloon mishap. I believe they were meant to be there...just bad luck in being in that part of the parade...i dunno?
