Whether IDW could do anything with these would depend on what sort of licensing arrangement Palladium and Mirage had in place-- if Mirage owned the content, then Nick would now hold publishing rights, yes? From what little information there is, it sounds like the unused art for the Second Edition book was created on Palladium's dime but never actually published. It's all conjecture on my part, but I would assume Palladium would maintain ownership of that.

Who to market a TMNT RPG to was very much the problem that Palladium ran into-- in the "Good Bye, Ninja Turtles" editorial above, it's stated that the TMNT franchise's success with the preteens had much to do with the decline in sales of the Palladium RPG as older fans didn't want to mess with kiddie fare.

I contacted Palladium to inquire about the availability of the TMNT 2nd Edition and the response was that it's never been made available in any form-- so it can join the other TMNT projects that never quite made it.
