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
