Yeah man, the set is/was a bit of a rip-off, frankly. The sewer lid that comes with it is a different color & marked with a different city (San-Diego), & there's the fact they're all exactly the same... Meh. I never bothered to pick the set up. Prolly shoulda while they were cheaper, just for completion's sake, but for me, it's a hard buy to justify.

I dont blame you. It just sounds annoying. Maybe I will track one mouser down and the sewer top since that is the only two things I would want anyway lol

Just received my first Zoloworld cases only to find that my Spock Don doesn't fit!

I'm looking at swapping him out and I was wondering if anyone knew if there are any problems getting a Dwarf Don, Pterano Don or Jim Lee Don (MOC) to fit in to the standard Zoloworld case?
Thank you!

If the case is to small for spock don, then I am almost positive it will be to small for pterano don and jim lee don. Those are pretty big dons.

QUESTION....so I am a big 90s cartoon fan, and of course the toyline, but I never got into the original comic book, but I want to. I know that in the early TMNT comics, they had the turtles kill and use guns. my question is....is this true? which comics? and what should I get if I want to start reading the comics from the beginning

The turtles did indeed kill back in the day. I don't recall guns but they def hurt people pretty bad. The best start is to get a copy of the 2012 (it may be earlier ? 2010?) ninja turtles free comic book day book. That is a reprint of the original first comic with shredder. Then you need to check on here for the mirage comics order list. The stories are some times done out of order. They are really worth reading though! The first comics tend to be expensive because they are printed on cheap paper and destroy easily.

Also check out those awesome Archie tmnt comics too. Those are more based off the original cartoon.

This is the Toy specific question thread, you'd probably get more repiles in the comic specific question thread.

But yes. The Turtles have once a blue moon used guns, both contemporary firearms and futuristic.

However they never wore guns as their equipment. And yes, the Mirage Comics Turtles don't shy from permantly ending a deadly threat.

IDW are reprinting the Mirage Comics, both as collected and as single issues. You could also check out comixology, where TMNT have issues released.

So I came across this ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/TMNT-Signed-...vip=true&rt=nc) auction. It appears to be a "lithograph" from the 2007 movie. I asked the ebay seller but they offered little to no information

(there is a language barrier it seems).

The auction reads "Won this in a contest a while back."

The signature is Peter's and dated 2006.

So....

He signed it in 06 but the movie came out in 07?

If anyone has a clue it's going to be someone on the drome!

Anyone have ANY info on this piece at all?

*Powder* · 12-04-2014, 03:50 PM

I don't know a damn thing about it, but there's tons of promotional material that comes out in the year prior to a films release, so it's not impossible. Where do you see the signature? I don't see a thing on it. & given they claim to have won it in a contest, it may very well have been something connected to marketing the flick.

They sent me (via an ebay message) pictures on the signature. Even in the closeups its very difficult to see (he signed in a black sharpie). The signature and turtle sketch is right next to the points on Leo's swords.

*Powder* · 12-04-2014, 04:38 PM

Well, Pete's got one of those "Ask a question" blogs up right now, you could always see if he remembers this piece or any promotional contests revolving around TMNT.

Good idea....if someone else wants to post please do!

Just found an almost complete set of Minimates at TRU. Is the Mutagen Leo sold seperately or does it come with another figure? I couldnt find him at all...

He is sold in a 2 pack along with the Foot Soldier just like the regular Leo. I picked up two of each set today and a single pack with Mutagen Leo at the Toys R Us here in Madison, WI

Question on sewer hero don price differences. I picked up a moc don this week and once it got here today I was checking it against myteefinestuff and I realized it is listed on there for 350. Are the price differences really so drastic between the different versions? I got a 3rd edition with orange weapons and collector card for what I thought was a good price but if it's worth 350 I got a smoking deal on it.

TMNTooze · 12-12-2014, 06:10 PM

Wondering what kinds of things Eastman has at his Comic Con Booth to get autographed. I plan on going up to Seattle in March to meet him and will get a few things signed with my boys but just wondering if he has posters and also how much he charges for sketches? I have never gotten a sketch from anyone but would look so cool next to my signed MOC figures. Thanks

bobby6shotz · 12-22-2014, 09:10 AM

Does anyone know if there are any zoloworld cases that will fit the original 88 tmnt action figures, besides the standard tmnt zoloworld cases that are always sold out? It doesn't have to fit perfect, any help would be appreciated.

Anyone have an idea on what we should be expecting from toyfair this year?
