Savage Dragon/TMNT toys
 
So has anyone seen those? I found some pictures of them in a Gen13 comic from many years ago and Im just curious to what they were like.
(If no one has seen them, I can scan the ad)

Please, scan the ad.

Sure, I'll have it up in a couple of minutes ^^

File is pretty large, but here it is:

I got it from the back cover of Gen13 number 8

You notice, they call it "Jim Lee's TMNT"

Tetsu Deinonychus 05-27-2003 10:34 PM

Oh yeah, I remember that!
I hated the Jim Lee TMNT designs.

GK Punk 05-27-2003 10:36 PM

Yeah those are horreable looking!!!

I don't remember seeing those toys ever in person, and I totally forgot about them untill I got on this Gen13 nostalgia kick over the last couple of days.

Tetsu Deinonychus 05-27-2003 10:41 PM

I saw them in person. Believe me, you didn't miss anything.

GK Punk 05-27-2003 10:42 PM

:lol:
That bad eh? what a shame

Tetsu Deinonychus 05-27-2003 10:44 PM

I still wonder why they even did that? I didn't get it then, and I don't get it now. It was the later years when they were hard pressed for ideas, I guess. :lol:

GK Punk 05-27-2003 10:47 PM

Yeah I guess so, I remember when they moved TMNT to Image (im guessing Wildstorm to be specific) And them killing Don, and Leo getting a hand cut off or something like that, but I try to block all the memories I have of Image/TMNT :lol:

Tetsu Deinonychus 05-27-2003 10:52 PM

Me too, although I like Raph as Shredder.

Jim Lee is without a doubt my favorite comic artist.. I honestly believe the man could school Jack Kirby any day.. But his TMNT designs, I just don't know what he was thinking. I'd like to see him draw the TMNT for REAL, not like that. I imagine they'd look similar to Dooney's turtles, but better.

Tetsu Deinonychus 05-27-2003 11:04 PM

I'd rather see Clamp's depiction of the TMNT. I love Clamp!

now THAT would be interesting!!

Yeah the weird thing about jim lee's toy wave was that they had a leonardo all ready to go, and at the last minute they cancelled it and replaced him with a battle damage savage dragon. Maybe they didn't want Leonardo to share the same sucky fate as the otehr turtles? :P

GK Punk 05-28-2003 11:29 AM

:lol:
That would be funny if that was the reason!!

"God I can't believe we did this to the other Turtles.."
"WELL THEY CAN'T DO THIS TO MY LEO!!!"
*runs off with the original sculpt*

I had the Savage Dragon toy from that line. You chould change his hands, one was all snarly and bloody. I'd actually like the Raph or Donny one. Too bad they never made a Leo

Raven 06-04-2003 07:02 AM

man I have those I loved how they were done but I miss leo

jim lee rocks he can do no wrong!!!!!!!!!!!

Pidgeot018 06-04-2003 07:15 AM

Man, Savage Dragon was totally riding on the TMNT's coattails.

Brodie 06-04-2003 12:08 PM

That's BS. The comic line lasted even after TMNT first died down. And it's cartoon lasted at least 2 seasons, and was aired for 4 years after on USA Network.
