Ever Met TMNT Costumed Characters?
 
Hope this is the right area to post this.

Has anyone ever been to an event to meet costumed TMNT characters? Share your story here.

This is a pic of Raph & me, taken @ the Dallas Zoo on March 11, 2006.

I met them at universal studios when I was little. Around the same time as the coming out of their shells tour.

I met Mikey at a grocery store in like 1990-91 somewhere, I wish I had a picture! I remember talking about it in another thread he was there promoting something

I met Raph at a grocery store when I was a kid. He was handing out TMNT cookie crackers. I have a picture, I will have to look for it.

I met Mike and Don at the Tacoma Mall in 2006 during the Radio Disney tour thing.

My dad met Leo and Raph in 1990 at the grand opening of a TRU in Vegas. He was in Vegas on TDY. Promised me their autographs but of course seemingly forgot. :roll:

I met Tenderheart Bear when I was a little stink. He scared me. I have a picture. I know it's not TMNT, but it's cute!
And I can't find it now...dang. I'll have to track it down and post it later. Tehe.

I also met TMNT in person on several occasions when I was younger.

I met Pikachu in 1999. Spent 3 hours in line just to have my pic taken with Pikachu for what was supposed to be a 1 day thing in Tacoma. They had to extend it to 2 more days cuz so many people wanted to attend. This was at the B&I shopping centre and I got there an hour early (my mom thought I was nuts to get there early). Im glad I did. There was already at least 50 people when I got there. When I left the line was outside the building and a block long!

Yesterday, I attended the Dallas CityArts Festival to see the TMNT 25th Shell-A-Bration tour. Their indoor bus had lots of TMNT stuff, including COOTS, buit no NT; TNM.

I finally got to meet Mikey & yes...

1). Had pics taken with him

2). Took pics of him playng "air tympani"

I'll post those pics soon.

Mike used to come to my Dad's company picnic every year for about four years in a row. This was from about 89ish. He gave out gummy TMNT candy. And rode in a limo.

Good times. Don't think I ever got a pic though.

Prowler 06-14-2009 08:14 AM

I met the TMNT in a fair around 1993, I was 3 years old and I was kinda scared of them. My older borther was 10 and he got their autographs and a picture if I remember.

Lordmylar06 06-14-2009 09:54 AM

I went to the Dallas City Arts thing yesterday, I think it was at a bad time though. No costumes, (I assume because it was 99 degrees out there) and because of the heat and horrible parking situation I had, I don't think I had as much fun as I could have. I scored buttons though! Oh and btw that TMNT Smash-Up game for the wii is pretty fun. I bet if I had come later that day I could have met a costumed TMNT. I enjoyed the mini-museum Party Wagon anyway.

True, it was hot. But Mikey was there. He came out @ 11:30 am/1:00 pm/3:00pm/5:00pm, for 40 minutes with the fans (plus taking a 10 minute recess to cool off).

As for me, I did ride the DART train to Pearl Station & they were 3 blocks away. Here are some pics.

I love the Shell-A-Bration bus!

Before I left, I met with the guy who wore the Mikey costume. Believe it or not, he really does play drums & tympani in his school band!

It wasn't official, but I met an OT Shredder and Splinter at an anime convention over here :D

And in technicality, I've met another Splinter because my sister made a mascot costume of him!!! :lol:

Buslady 06-14-2009 08:34 PM

thats cool the performer really played percussion.
Tell me though, I'm curious..you are so fascinated with the idea of tmnt playing music, especially percussion, why is this?

I'm a band geek, so i can understand whatever the reason :P i was a tuba player...:P

I like TMNT as a band. Thought I could improve their talents from Coming Out of Their Shells. Have them play rock & jazz.

The only percussionists in my TMNT band are Leo & Mikey. Leo likes the sound of the vibraphone, he learned to play it. He also jams with Ex-Cel Dude as well. Mikey's a natural drummer. So he also plays tympani because he likes the powerful sound! He & Ex-Cel battle on tympani as well.

You were a tuba player? Bet you like the fanart of Donatello playing the sousaphone! (LOL).

As you said guitar raph, I'll include my story lol... I went to the NYC gallabunga after being a diehard fan for like 16 of my 18 years on earth, I finally "met" Leonardo. As I approached the crowd he points at me and grabs mikeys attention waving his hand in front of his nose, basically mad at me for smoking a cigarette.. I understand that but it was a shock to see my idol judge me! Anyway he wouldnt let me take a pic with him for that reason. Then I got raph to come over but this mad hot girl called his name, he looks at me, then her and shrugs then runs to her. Hes all about the ladies apparently. Well anyway, heres a small amount of my pictures from the trip.. I have way too many to post, so heres a selection of the best.
