New toon in Fall 2012, no toys until then, film in 2013 - such a long wait!

Is this drought of new turtle stuff getting to anyone else? Playmates killed TMNT for 2010 (understandable, with no cartoon/movie to go with it), but we still have another year and a half before a new toon shows up, and even longer before the next movie. Playmates, even though they're not doing anything for 2 years, is still blocking NECA from releasing a few figures. We really just have nothing for a while. And of course Laird killed Volume 4.

By the way, dates taken from Playmates yearly report to stockholders.

“Preparations for the 2012 re-launch of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are making good progress as planned. Playmates Toys is working closely with Nickelodeon on the development of the all new TMNT products to be launched with the US premiere of the CGI animated TV series scheduled for Fall 2012, and to be followed by a feature film from Paramount Pictures planned for 2013.”

Toy sales for last year were also down 77%, lawl.

So, how are you filling the dead time? I actually decided to finally watch the original series all the way through. It's not as painful as I remembered it being last time I tried to watch it.
