The lack of toys for the 1990 movie is because Playmates felt it was too violent & didn't wanna be attached to it. The toys we got came during Secret Of The Oooze's era. So the first was in no way a toy commercial whatsoever. It was 100% free of toy sale influence besides the fact that the turtles being color coded was a Playmates thing.

And thank goodness for that.

No wonder SotO looks so watered down to being so puke inducing, kiddie friendly. Their "fight scenes" are a joke, and the final "fight" was dancing at a night club. When Super Shredder came, all they do was cower in fear like wimps and jump into a lake. *smh*

I get what you're saying though. I pray that it happens someday.

I never said they were. But c'mon. After the original comics, TMNT was made to sell toys.

you are right the first 5 FW episodes were commissioned cause Playmates had no idea how to market the figures

Meanwhile... ^^Doesn't Get It.

There's a Grand Design in play, here, folks, It took me forever to get this place exactly how I like it, subtly manipulating events from behind the scenes like Thanos... or, failing that, Dr. Claw.

Anyways, don't mess with it. Just tuck 'n roll.

I felt that the story sort of made up for the movie's shortcomings. They were smart enough to know that they couldn't take him on in his state so they decided to do, as Leo puts it in a line he says in 2K3, a tactical retreat.

I know you really mean "this one is the best".

So, who wants to place bets on whether they pull a Lotus Blossom and have BayLeo's shell tighten over BayKarai?

Why the ever-loving f*** not at this point?

According to the Bible, in the Book of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, as spoketh in the Gospel of Carl:

"It don' matter. None'a this matters."

Please please please no... If I had the cash I'd almost be willing to pay them as insurance NOT to. They better keep him better mannered than that if they have any sense of the characters at all... because knowing these people they'd go the Mikey kind of route.


Honestly after the Mikey shell tightening stuff, I'm actually kind of grateful that the Turtles actors have cameras in the way of their faces

Do it. Bring on the sh*tshow.

Also bring on the people defending it no matter what.
