Lil G seconds the motion, I'm #3.

Would love to see Mikey floating along New York City on NBC's Macy's Parade as well.

I'd think we'd be more likely to see Leonardo (ala the Halmark Ornament relelase) or Raphael... or maybe even just a Turtle with a Red Mask (ala the comics)

Although I wonder if it's technically possible to make one like that. I dunno much about blimp technology

That would be great...The question would be if they have guys in Turtle suits flying the thing...

Wouldn't it be better to have an unmanned, radio controlled version, with just some puppets on it since the TMNT are outdoors in the blimp.

No, realism is needed

Since that's impossible, I suppose you want humans in turtle costumes?

Nah, I just checked whether you could understand a joke or not

If not the entirety of the Archie and Mirage series, at the very least they need to release collections of City at War, Volume 2, and Volume 4.

It just kills me that there are these great and long running story arcs that people won't have access to.

Everything else is icing on the cake. These are musts. Maybe not this year, in fact all signs point to it not happening, but if Mirage shuts its doors without releasing these, then damn.

I'm seconding this. Everything else in comics seems to come out in trade paperback these days, but most things Turtles related have been out of print for years. I'd like to think that there would be enough curious or nostalgic people to buy this stuff if it were available.

I am still trying to complete some Volume 1 issues and also some Volume 2 issues. And if Mirage does a great announcement such as the trades for some back issues, i would still go on trying to complete the original issues ( in addition to getting the 25th anniversary trades i guess ). For something i really like ( such as TMNT ) i would be glad to buy both.
Mirage would put some extra material into the trades.
Vol.1 is too long to put into trades ( at least for a smaller publisher like Mirage ), But City at War trade would be awesome, yeah...
For volume 2, 13 issues is a bit long for 1 trade, but they would make it into 2 trades i guess. ( Tho i would prefer 1 trade )
Volume 4's present condition is not very well as you know so i dunno if Mirage would try to put pre-issue 29 stuff into trades.


As i would be very happy in case such things happened, i am not seeing it very likely.


What i want most is a hardcover ( being HC is not a must, but i would be more than happy if it was that way ), big size ( again not a must, but would be better that way ) TMNT Mirage Universe Guide with all the important characters, the plots and some art material...( As DK Publishing did at X-Men Ultimate Guide, Conan , Transformers Guide and such )
That would be just spectacular.

I seem to recall Steve Murphy mentioning a while back that project being in production. Unfortunately, it was in the comments that are no longer accessible.

Yes, a "Mirage Universe" book featuring profiles on every character in Mirage canon is planned for the spring. It is a collaboration between Murphy and Jake Black. It will be softcover and available through you favorite neighborhood comic book store (assuming you can get them to order it for you).

I hope this turns out well. It's probably the number one TMNT item I'm looking forward to next year.

I did not know about this. Really...really glad.

Archie had some sourcebooks, see http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/archie/specials.htm. Why not make some sourcebook for all TMNT universes?
