Sewer heads?!
 

Here's the thread to suggest better nicknames. :D

Did everyone see what Rose posted under Ninja Pizza on FB??

I laughed really hard because it very true.

I'll be honest I was sitting here this afternoon trying to think of a better nickname and am drawing a blank. But I am very interested to see what other people come up with :tgrin:

I actually think ''Sewer heads'' is a pretty funny nickname and I don't mind being called that. In fact, maybe Ill go ahead and change my username to SewerHead.;)

Someone on FB suggested Shell Heads which seems less insulting.

Sewer-Heads doesn't bug me too much, but I agree we should have a better name. (I'm kinda surprised we don't have one already, but then, as a Star Wars fan, there's never been a definitive name for that either.) I've seen the rather mundane "Turtle-Fan" used often, but...

Here's some ideas:

Shell Raisers

Ninja-Nerds

Ninja Nuts

Fanholes (Sounds dirty, meant as a play on manhole...)

Splinter Cellmates

Party Dudes

Foot Clan (Obvious...)

Shred-Heads

Beboppers

Shellackies

Shell-Heads

Green-Gang

Pizza-Pals

Half-Shell-Heroes

Turtle-Whacks (I like this one; we're whacky about the turtles and it's a play on Turtle Wax!)

You beat me to it Matty-angelo. :P

Stolen from Facebook:
Green Machine
Turtle Titans
Half Shellers
Turtle Timers
Turtlites
Mutant Maniacs
Shell Backs

Um...Not-so-Crocked Ninja Turtle Gang?

For members of this forum I use "Dromies" as a collective term. :P

I'VE GOT IT!!

Sticking with "Ninja Turtle Fans." All the other ones sound horrific.

Turtle-whacks got my vote so far.

Greensters Union

Sewerheads, translated, means sh*t for brains. That being said, I don't like it. Turtles fans has always worked for me.

Well we do keep buying the stuff they've put out in the past like this:

So....maybe they have a point.

While plain "Turtles fan" sounds just fine I think what Playmates was trying to accomplish was a way to define the long term, devoted TMNT follower from just a casual person who knows the Turtles but doesn't really follow the franchise.

The thing I have found odd about this whole thing is that at least in my experience it's usually been the fan base of a franchise that invents it's own nick name, not any of the property owners, license-rs whatever.

Beat ya to the punch ay, Jesty boy?! ;)

I like those! Better then Sewer Heads, lol. Turtle Titans is epic, Turtle Timers makes it known we've been around for awhile, and Turtlites is just...great. Yeah!

The Ninja Tribunal!:D

Shell-raisers. <------ see what I did (re new toy line)

I like shell-heads, personally.

Ninja turtle fans works just as well though.

As I wrote on the Facebook, "Sewer Heads" also makes me think of the kind of nickname someone knee-deep into scat might earn.

I think if someone walking down the street (whether it's a Playmates employee or anybody) told me, "Hey, Sewer Head!" my automatic response would probably be a well-earned punch in the face. At the very least, a sincere "F*** you" right back.

Hey, that's kind of endearing.

Sewer sluts?

I really like Half Shell Heroes and Shell Whacks (nice pun Uki).

The immediate problem has been solved. We will no longer be called Sewer Heads. :)

What have you done?

TMNT Master tweeted that they will spread the word - no more "Sewer Heads".

Out of the suggestions I quite like Shell Raisers, and I admit I've certainly got nothing better!

"Battered Wives" might be a better nickname for a lot of the fandom, now that I think about it.

But yes... I could live with "Shell Raisers" though it might be a little bit vague to the outsider.

"Shell Raisers" sounds good to me. I also like Turtleites.

Sounds like something you would need medication for....

-ms

I was almost going to suggest "Turtleoids," kind of like "Star Woids," but yeah... that sounds like something of an industrial sized hemorrhoid breakout.

I'm gonna throw my bid in for Turtle Titans!

What about all of us who hate the Turtle Titan?

Such as myself. Shell Raisers, I could work with that.

Oh, like Tang Sheng amirite? :trazz:

Shell Raisers is somewhat fitting since we do raise a stink and b***h about how our beloved Turtles have been handled in the past. Perhaps Nick really *does* like long0time fan input to a degree.

i find both shell raisers and turtle-whacks to be pretty cute... though i am not sure we really need a cutesy nickname...


i'm still confused as to where that came from... but if someone already made it go away... many thanks!

though i always just call us "dromers"- "dromies" is pretty sweet too!

point taken!

O_O You're the poop-head! :x :tgrumble:
The Greatful Dead's fanbase, apparently: Dead-Heads... :roll:

how clever... NOT! :tsmile:

Precisely... Perfect for legions of stoners though. :P

Shell Raisers sounds pretty fitting because as others have mentioned we do raise a lot of hell about how TMNT gets treated.

Turtleloids is a one word name I could settle on. Nice throw back to the old cartoon.

Glad we wont be called Sewer Heads anymore.

i vote "threeToemafia"

I vote "gobo's gazillions".

Green Machines would have been funnier.

Yeah but we'd have to pay Stephan royalties every time we used it. :P
