I guess we can start a parent support group, lol (just kidding). I'll probably be watching Monday night around 10

Ninjaman~ That was so funny

One of my gripes with the 4kids series was that Rat King was only in one full episode, I hope Nick doesn't repeat that mistake. I'd love to see Rat King be recurring for the rest of the show.

I expect the Rat King will be one of those 'once in a while' characters, considering his -so far displayed- abilities and all. Not to mention I suspect his inherent creepiness might be a factor in limited use, too.

(Although not gonna lie: I still kinda want to cosplay as him at C2E2 this year if Iolande from 'Green Lantern TAS' doesn't work out, because the design is creepy awesome, imho. Not sure how I'd be able to do the hands... or the eyes, for that matter)

Great video clips!

This looks like quite a 'dark' episode, especially with the Rat King's character design.

I cannot Wait for Friday... The more Splinter on these shows, the better it gets.

K... I wasn't too sure if I wanted to get a Rat King action fig but if Jeffrey Combs is voicing him. *throws her money at the screen*

Konchadunga · 01-23-2013, 08:59 PM

I just realized where I'd seen this guy before: He looks like the Grundel from The Real Ghostbusters. Great design to copy for a creepy character.

Love the design...

*ToTheNines* · 01-23-2013, 09:37 PM

Hey Jester, didn't you once theorize that Rat King from the OT was a former scientist that experimented on himself and went crazy?

Kevin G · 01-23-2013, 09:57 PM

@Joshdonnie: It isn't confirmed but if you watch the clip, it does assume it may very well be him.

@Mona_Lisa: No problem

I hope you enjoy it. I'll be watching it at 7. I haven't felt this excited since the season finale of American Horror Story: Asylum.

@Raph's Girl: Imagine how I felt when they never made a Herbert West figure

@Konchadunga: You know, they very do look a like.

Alright. I may be wrong about this, but I'm gonna throw it in here anyways. So just please hear me out.

As much as i would find it cool if the Ratking is Falco... What if the clip (first clip) we saw was from the middle/towards the end of the episode, and the reason why Raphael said, "We beat him before. " and Leo said, "We can beat him again."could be because they encountered the Ratking earlier in the episode. Also I thought Dr. Falcon could only read minds. :? If he could control them, why would he only want to control the minds of rats?

But, again I say, I may be wrong. (If I'm right ya'll owe me. JK)

*NinjaPug* · 01-24-2013, 06:15 AM

Clips look good. Can't wait for the episode. I really like the design of the Rat King.

If he is Dr. Falco, I'm glad that the RK will have a backstory. Seems plausible that Falco would continue injecting himself with animal DNA...why not rat DNA. Plus this would tie up a loose end with what happened to Falco.

*Luzmagica* · 01-24-2013, 06:34 AM

Cant wait to enjoy this new episode!!!!!

edhellman · 01-24-2013, 07:36 AM

this looks awesome. It would make sense if he were Falco and would make NO sense if they used the same voice actor but didn't change the voice... I wondered why Falco was introduced.

I'm a huge fan of the 80's cartoon version of Rat King but they have managed to make me a fan of this design. Really, really, awesome.

*BubblyShell22* · 01-24-2013, 07:44 AM

I could see it being Falco as he escaped after the Turtles dealt with him before, and it seemed like he wasn't finished with them either, so I hope it is Falco. That would be cool.

And I agree, Machi. The more Splinter, the better.

*Zulithe* · 01-24-2013, 08:15 AM

I do not believe it is Falco, appearance is too drastically different

He was injecting himself with modified mutagen... Think that might change one's appearance?

cartoonistaaron · 01-24-2013, 08:59 AM

I don't like his new design - it looks too much like the Scarecrow from Batman - but I love how he's acting more like the OT Rat King and less like the 2K3 Rat King.

I can see why they didn't use the "white guy wrapped up in bandages" design of previous iterations but I still don't like the new design. It's the nostalgia nut in me!
