And may I add to that list 'Playmates Gone'. Although with so few toy companies around, who knows who could replace them. Quote:
The problem is, Peter doesn't really NEED to have any drive. He's already made his money off the turtles, and if Gary says that it's not a good idea, who's he to argue? ..I think Gary shouldn't be the end all be all of decision making. they need someone there who's job it is to TRY new product ideas without shooting them down for stupid reasons. IE. Comic Books in stores.... Why not just put one or two out and see how well they sell? Quote:

Disney
Don't compare to Disney, they have many famous figures and they can't celebrate everybody, it would probably be an anniversary every year. TMNT is Mirage Studios major franchise (maybe together with Usagi Yojimbo, but they both debuted in 1984).

Why did Murphy shut his blog down? Just because of the climate thing? I agree with his environmental views but I'm sure he also didn't quit work because of it. His blog got people excited and its a shame its gone.

Add something further to my list: the next wave of NECA figures to freakin' release. I've seen many publications heralding their TMNT line as "toy line of the year", and they would have had less competition if April, Shredder, Foot Ninja, Elite Foot, and Utrom would have released. I totally want to get at least two of each, plus some additional ones for army building and customizing. But having to wait this long is nuts. NECA announced the Street Fighter IV line and gave an actual month of release the same day.

As for what I want the next year... For Mirage to LISTEN TO THE FANS when it comes to business! That would be enough, thank you. Of course they can't do everything we want, but the fact that Peter and/or Gary turned down the idea of a fan panel just proves they don't care. And I'm not one of the "We're the fans, they owe us"-people, I just think I've read a lot of great ideas here, and someone at Mirage should at least do the math on whether or not these things would preliminarily be profitable.

Here's the pipe dream... TMNT balloon in the Macy's parade. All I;m saying.
And it's not like it would be unheard of.... I mean, years ago, they were doing only commercial mascots... and they were diving into obscure ones like Cheeseasaurus Rex and Ask Jeeves.... It's the Something-ith anniversary of the Smurfs this year, and they have a balloon...

And I don't mean to defend Mirage but lets also look at the facts:
The tv show had been going on since 2k3 and it was never a huge hit, even the movie was treated it as the return of the turtles as if the new show had never happened. The bad thing of it lasting this long is it got canceled in its 25th anniversary. Same thing with the toyline, it had been doing great for years then it started to slowdown and then thanks to the movie got a new grasp of air but while I agree playmates didn't help any I doubt they could have held to the toyline for a lot longer anyway. About a new movie announced I'm sure a lot of things go into a movie which is why DC has yet to have any other new superhero movies besides Batman, I'm sure they'd want to make as many movies as Marvel. I mean the show has been going for years and never took off and the "new" movie is about to be 2 years old in 4 months. The turtles are not in the mind of people at the moment and no amount of money they'd drop on the anniversary would likely change it. To be more on topic though my wish list (of things that could actually happen): -Official announcement of a new movie. -Neca waiting this long to release the second wave on its 25th anniversary so the second Neca wave and a third wave shown. -DTV being all kinds of awesome -TMNT DTVs a la DC Universe/Marvel DTVs announced. -Interesting/Rare downloads from the official site -A tribute video of some sort Well maybe my list is not very likely to happen

Another thing I'd like to see? An official release of the Japanese OT OVa's.
And again. Gary Gone. |

Who was the one that said an "Evolution of the Turtles" box set of figures? I remember seeing a Batman set just like it a month ago, and that would really be a great idea. I just hope they have the original molds from the original movie line, as well as the Next Mutation (we might as well have everything, right?)

Can you imagine the press they'd get if they sent a 100% realistic copy of the turtle Blimp flying over the city? Especially if it landed somewhere for photo ops...
Although I wonder if it's technically possible to make one like that. I dunno much about blimp technology |
