The dude is the real deal. Oh, and he also has the most awesome painting of Donatello playing croquet with Mr. T.

If I had been told what the main influence was from the get-go I wouldn't have cared that you had to keep so much to yourself from the beginning! The rock'n'roll graphitti grit, the pizza references, and a longbox of Vol. 1 TMNT really sets my speculative radar in a direction that I'm really diggin'!

I know that this is new and different and I can't just say, "Oh, this is the first movie only in CG," but I really like Vol. 1, the first TMNT movie, the first NES TMNT game, the old Playmates box art, etc. A mix of those sorts of things are how I imagined things being when I played TMNT as a kid with my friends whether it be figures or playing outside. A similar mixture seems to be brewing over at Nickelodeon.

This is very exciting news!
