Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles–Return to New York

Friday, July 22, 11:45 a.m.-12:45 p.m. (Room: 6A) – They travelled time and space to save planet Earth, and now the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles return home! Executive producers Ciro Nieli and Brandon Auman share sneak peeks of the epic adventures and new characters that await the Turtles when they return to the streets of NY in season four. On hand will be the extraordinary voice actors of the TMNT world: Rob Paulsen (Donatello), Greg Cipes (Michelangelo), Gwendoline Yeo (Shinigami) and Eric Bauza (Tiger Claw). Also, witness the world premiere of two never-before-seen TMNT animated shorts presented by TMNT co-creator, Kevin Eastman. The panel will be moderated by Andre Meadows (Black Nerd Comedy).

Sweet!
I really loved Andre's moderation last time.
Looking forward to it!

Gwendoline Yeo is a Shinigami. Interesting.

So Shinigami is a new character created from the show, there's no telling if she will be a human or mutant, but with a name like that, sound like she might involve magic.

Have you got a link please so I can use the info on Tumblr.

Nickelodeon Goes 90’s Retro with San Diego Comic-Con Panels, Booth, More

Here's the unofficial SDCC blog post about it.
Extra psyched about the DoubleDare stuff.
I'll have to break out my shirt!

There's also a Women in Animation panel.
Yup, going to check that out.

I just found it and it was also posted on Tumblr :D

I found some interesting info, apparently Shinigami means Death God in Japanese termiology.

So she could be a human ninja with that name, a mutant or something else.

!!!

i need that in my life right now!

So Yeo is Shinigami. Interesting.

They should have used Kitsune from the IDW comics, sounds like a female Japanese God.

Dammit!

I wish they would stop making up new characters when you have PLENTY from the TMNT lore to choose from. I'm sorry, that just pisses me off. -_-

They need more new characters imo.

All the new creations have generally been well recieved (Tigerclaw, Fishface and Dogpound)

Yeah I agree, I rather see new characters than re using old characters.

It pisses me off that it pisses you off. Let the damn show have it's own identity/characters. As it is they've already done justice to characters who never got their due, like Wyrm & Pizzaface, to name a few.

I can't remember a character that wasn't used for some random one-shot that was introduced in the past couple of seasons that wasn't from other TMNT lore. Good god, I can't comprehend how you think this is a bad thing. The show needs new characters if it doesn't wanna be called "the updated OT."

The show has plenty of new characters. Half the mutants they created were all new.

Some of the new characters have been great, I think the issue is how they treat the original characters, they usually just take the name, and come up with some origin that has nothing to do with the original.

some of those old characters are in name only.

If they were to create Nick versions of Ninjara or Alopex, I can guarantee that they would be nothing like there comic book counterparts.

TC is right, (almost) every time they adapt old characters, they end up pretty radically different anyways. I say keep making new ones

Yeah, for years fans been waiting for Mona Lisa to show up on the Nick series, and what did they do? made her an alien.

The Black Nerd again? The producers must have taken a liking to him, so they decided to use him in all of their subsequent NY and SD conventions.
