Your biggest disappointment being a fan - Page 5

*plastroncafe* · 11-04-2012, 09:06 PM

I think my biggest disappointments have come at the hands of industry people trying to sell me on the turtles. I realize that it's naive to ignore the business side of things, but I really hate it when it's clear that these characters I've loved for years are nothing more than a "property" to the suits.

Indeed!

Is that why you are wearing a suit?

For those complaining about the lack of proper 4kids series DVDs, I'm sure we'll get the series re-released eventually.

We're getting the OT re-released in a Turtle Van boxset, we have the 4 movies on blu-ray, we're getting Next Mutation, and IDW is releasing collections of the Mirage and Archie comics.

4kids is literally the only thing NOT being re-released at the moment.

my biggest disappointment there's no soundtrack for old cartoon !

*Donatello19* · 11-05-2012, 03:59 PM

When things get cancelled/forgotten about such as action figures (NECA) and T.V shows (W.B).
The Next Mutation
The Third Movie
TMNT (2007)
Never trying the TMNT pies (I never even knew about them before they were discontinued)
TMNT smash up's roster

*Powder* · 11-05-2012, 11:59 PM

The film projects that never were, the cancellation of Next Mutation, NECA series 2 never being released, the lack of the Fred Wolf cast in Turtles forever, the end of Tales Of The TMNT, no Forever War.

Overall, Tales being cancelled or whatever would be the biggest loss for me.

You mean a CD? The show has a lot of cool music if you listen during the episodes.

Is the Technodrome sorta like the Death Star?

*gobo* · 11-06-2012, 03:44 PM

Ever since Turtles Forever, yeah.

Foot Soldier Clang · 11-06-2012, 06:51 PM

My biggest disappointments are:

Mona Lisa never returning
Alpha One never returning
Mondo Gecko never having a bigger part
Zack, Bug Man, and Rex-1 never having figures of their own
The Mutations Party Wagon never being released
Irma's figure being in the wrong color scheme
A proper OT animated movie never being made during the OT's original run.
No cartoon crossover with the Toxic Crusaders.

*Refractive Reflections* · 11-09-2012, 11:59 AM

*Red Sky Episodes (the adventures/plots were okay, but it pushed aside the TMNT's personalities/individuality and humor)

*Probably how abrupt the OT series finale was and there was no closure with the OT in the 2009 Turtles Forever movie either.
(But usually with any Hollywood show/series, when any show goes down the tube in ratings they don't particularly care for a proper sendoff/ending.)

*No animated OT series movie

You would think after saving that city so many numerous times that the OT TMNT would finally be celebrated as heroes by humanity. (I know its implied in "Once Upon A Time Machine" but still....)

The third movie. Nothing will ever match that level of disappointment.

My biggest disappointment: Going to a Toys R Us and seeing the new TMNT toys and realizing that I'm too old to be excited by Ninja Turtles anymore.

Also, I would also love to see a soundtrack for the old cartoon. Maybe someone can make remixes of it like they do for video games.

Speaking of music, the 2003 and 2012 versions of the Turtles theme are pretty lame. They should have stuck with the original if they could get it.

You are always free to write fanfiction about that. And Archie Mondo Gecko acutally plays a bigger part.

Nonsense. I still freaked out when I saw the new Metalhead figure and bought it ON.THE.SPOT.

The original soundtrack, with all identifical music, on a CD would rock. No remix needed.

I will be 31 in less than a month and I get more excited about TMNT toys than my 8 yo son (and I'm a chick hahaha)...

Disappointments...

Next Mutation -- Venus...no April or Casey...
Turtles in Time: Reshelled -- it was fun, but I was sad they cut out some of the game

pretty sure nothing was cut out since it was Turtles in Time the Arcade version and not the SNES port.

But yes, they should have rather had made the SNES version with 4 players
