20th anniversary?

Isn't this year the 20th anniversary for the TMNT? The original comic came out in like 1984 right? I know that when they released that old golden Leonardo statue/toy it said 5th anniversary and it was put out in 1992, so that was basically going off the cartoon's legnth, not the overall tmnt universe. So if this is the true anniversary and Peter Laird is trying for a more true to comic everything now a days, how come he hasn't stepped up and put out like a 20th anniversary comic or had playmates make special collectors action figures for this special year for the tmnt? Transformers did that special optimus prime, ghostbusters got a mini revival from neca, and tmnt got what? They haven't even mentioned it to my knowledge. I know they're making statues and stuff, but that started in 2002. Wouldn't it be cool if they made action figures based off the COVER to the first tmnt issue and called it a 20th anniversary special or they animated the original comic and put it on a direct to video dvd and made that the anniversary special or something?

Ghad if I say anniversary one more time my head will explode, just wanted to ask about htis and get everyone's opinion etc...
