Half-Shell Heroes: Merry Mutants TV special?
 

I noticed the description of a book called 'Merry Mutants' coming out later this year mentions a 'television event'.

"The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles save the world (again) in an all-new television event based on the Half-Shell Heroes toy line.
This full-color, hardcover storybook is sure to thrill children ages 3 to 7."

It would make sense since the 'Blast to the Past' special also had a Big Golden Book release.

I'm so down with an X-mas special. :tgrin:

Still confused that the OT never had a christmas special.

I wonder if it will take place right after Blast to the Past, at the end of it, they traveled to the future.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Christmas specials to death, so a new TMNT one in the HSH style would be fantastic. That being said, though, the generic description combined with the cover not having ANY HSH branding on it makes me skeptical. It almost seems like they're reusing a description for their previous "Blast to the Past" book or one in the works based on an unrelated unannounced HSH special. We'll see, but the cover and the description don't really seem to match up.

We should get a regular christmas special but I'm down with a HSH style. Christmas specials are the best though. The He-Man one is a f*cking goldmine.


Halloween specials are dope as well but nothing beats Christmas

I'm sure this one will be online before it airs on Nickelodeon, like they did with Blast to the Past.

So another adaptation of this or would an orphanage strain the budget?

This sounds interesting.. I like it. They really should do it.

Given the Christmas theme, we will likely have to wait until the holiday season to see this.

That would be awesome. I've wished we'd get some legit holiday episodes (and not necessarily just Christmas), so a Half Shell special would do nicely.

I miss how holiday specials were sort of a thing back in the 80s and somewhat 90s. If the Turtles had holiday episodes that became a tradition with today's kids the way the Charlie Brown, Garfield, etc specials were/are... that would be a beautiful thing.

This time hopefully will not adapt the Michelangelo special so we get a second Christmas story with TMNT. The 2003 episode adaptation was great and all especially the new bits with the Christmas dinner guest, but I would like to see an original plot.

That was one of the two sins that are hard to get over. No Christmas episode and the series finale was against Dregg not Shredder.

Please don't let it be a rehash of the Christmas Carol. I know the story is a classic, but that cow has been milked dry.

There has already been a Mr. Magoo version, Disney version, Peter pan and the pirates had an episode centered around this plot, muppets version, a TV musical version starring Kelsey Grammer, a version starring Jim Carry, ghost busters version, MLP:FIM has very recently done a version (i.e. they had their christmas episode in may of this year).

While it might be interesting to have a Turtles Version, i doubt it wouldn't not come along as convoluted.

If they did A Christmas Carol, I'd rather it was done separate some other year with the actual series characters. Half Shell look like such little kids, I'd rather some other cute story to go along with them.

Maybe they'll save Christmas and hang out with Santa, but that's been done a million times, too. :trazz:

I wonder if Santa will get mutated. :tlol:

Mutates into a robot who'll turn Christmas into X-mas, a holiday of hiding in fear.

Dimension X-mas.

Halfshell Heroes
 

Should Halfshell Heroes continue where it begins with the Turtles returning to New York City ran by Shredder?

Yes, please!

Can you imagine how cool it would be to see a mutagenic North Pole occupied by insectoid elves and squirrelanoid-esque reindeer?

Got any ideas for what Mutant Santa could be?

Reindeer maybe?

Hmm... that might put him too close to Krampus territory...

I know it's not exactly imaginative, but I was thinking a twisted & mangled giant snowman.

I'd so pre-order this book, but my currency has taken a temporary slump :). Brilliant find!

Hero's all in for a TMNT Christmas ('Happy Holidays') special.

But a snowman isn't a living being to begin with.

We've already seen at least two organic beings merge with a hot rod. :tcool:

A new Half-Shell Heroes special eh? Sure why not? I did enjoy the first one they showed.

I'm surprised we haven't heard anything else about this by now. Last year's special was announced in late July and came out in late November...

and after the super shredder found the true meaning of Christmas his heart grew three sizes but then shriveled back to normal in a few seconds and thoughts of revenge danced through his head again.

Seeing a mutant reindeer would be pretty sweet. Closest thing I've seen to one was in the Battletoads arcade game.

This sounds like it would be really cute. I hope they do it.

The book is available now, did anyone get it yet?

My copy has not been shipped yet. :cry:

I have received my copy, no mention of the TV special.
It's also not based on Half-Shell Heroes.

Too bad, a Christmas special would have been nice! :cry:

So this isn't happening? Its like 3 months till Christmas...

Figured my assumption was correct. The cover looked way too generic and they probably would've announced something like this at SDCC.

So, can anyone with this book explain what the f*ck it is?

Disappointed that this is not a Christmas special. That would have been cool.

Looking at the description from the original poster, there is nothing said about this being a Christmas special, when it would be aired, or if it would be based around this particular book.

It's just a notice that there will be a televised event based off half-shelled heroes. As far as we know it could be based off where Half-Shelled Heros ends in Blast to the Past.

And if it is a Christmas Special, they could be wanting to keep it under wraps so as to not spoil the surprise of what will happen. In other words, do not reveal until the holiday season.

Seconded. All of this "it's not what we thought" but nothing about what it is?

I love it already.
I loved the first one a LOT.
I always thought they would do another one. Glad they have done it.

I think there'll be at least three.

Since nobody who has it was willing to share, I went ahead and bought it.

It's just an adaptation of Target: April O'Neil

I want my ten bucks back.
