So far the Comic Con sucks in terms of TMNT news - Page 2

FlawedCoil82 · 02-09-2009, 02:14 PM

All I am concerned about at the moment is when Season 3 Part 1 of the 2k3 series will be coming out.

DK2 · 02-09-2009, 11:25 PM

What is this DTV dvd? What could it possibly mean with the old meeting/mixing with the new? Not the two ierations of the TMNT meeting each other is it? If so what kind of story is for the 25th anniversary? Is it related to the 2k3 show or a one off on its own? I haven't really watched the 2k3 show and occasionally watched the old cartoon back in the day. I'm really confused by this bit about this DTV dvd.

Ghostbusters is trouncing everything that's being done for TMNT.

I know about the GB game and Bluray coming out, as well as the toys from Mattell which I will be all over, but what else is GB doing for it's 25th?

*gobo* · 02-10-2009, 10:35 AM

Does RGB DVDs coming to retail count?

X · 02-10-2009, 11:06 AM

You could say that if you want to give the benefit of the doubt.

However outside of even that, what else is the GB brand doing for its 25th that trounces the TMNT 25th celebration?

Not trying to compare, saying TMNT's is any better (a new season would make it awesome, cough Shredder Wars,) but just wondering what the two brands are doing in contrast to one another.

*gobo* · 02-10-2009, 11:21 AM

Oh, that... Yeah, I'm thinking that was more of a 'greener grass' generalization. But, I'm a good bit less thrilled about the TMNT's anniversary efforts just because I hear more negativity about it. Of course, if I looked hard enough, the GB might seem equally ungrateful.

The pretty much have the same thing going as TMNT: dvds of the old cartoon, various new figures, a new video game, Blu-ray release, both are trying o get new movies off the ground. Its not that huge of a difference.

various new figures

Which look a TON better than the ones Playmates are going to be putting out. There's also the Minimates, Kubricks, prop replicas...

a new video game

How many TMNT games have there been in past couple of years? Now compare that to the number of GB games that have come out in that same time frame.

The amount of effort being put in is what separates the two.

There's also the fact they have Bill Murray involved in all of this. That in of itself is an accomplishment to be reckoned with.

But hey! At least the TMNT 25th Anniversary will be better than Back to the Future's 25th Anniversary.

TristanHuwJones · 02-11-2009, 01:34 AM

The basic difference is that GB's have had NOTHING. There was EGB at the same time as Next Mutation, but that was it. Fans got completely ****ed over by 88mph when they essentially stole 50 from people who preordered the hardcover of the comic and refused to refund them when they failed to publish the book. The TMNT have had things going almost the whole time. The OT figures stopped around 1996 right? Then Next Mutation was 1997, then there was another small lull, but the comic came back, and then 2k3 started up. Then there are the games, books, movies, and everything else.

Ghostbusters had RGB, then nothing, then EGB, then nothing, and only now are we getting proper GB stuff, and it's all for the 25th Anniversary. There's the toys (which are all aimed at the hardcore collectors, based on the movies AND animated shows), the RGB DVD's being released in season sets to retail, the blu-ray releases, the games across all formats (written by and starring all core cast members -- INCLUDING Bill Murray), comics by IDW, and the likely announcement of a third movie.

When you compare what the GB fans are getting in for the 25th anniversary, compared to what the TMNT fans are getting, there's not too much difference on the surface. But now look at what GB fans have had UP UNTIL the 25th... THERE'S the difference.

*VaughnMichael* · 02-11-2009, 06:41 AM

Last re-release of the old figures was 1999 Trist so Turtles really never went away.

TristanHuwJones · 02-11-2009, 07:35 AM

Thanks V! Problem with being an Aussie is we don't get a lot of the stuff you dudes do, especially with stuff like that (I woulda killed a man to get the MOTU anniversary reissues here...m-maybe...)! So there you have it.

I'll be flat out honest too, I think the effort that's gone into the GB stuff on the parts of the third parties involved goes beyond what a lot of them are doing for TMNT.

The Blu-Ray release for GB is going to be great, the game looks like it could be one of the best video game productions of 2009 and the figures coming are the most excited I've been about a toyline since I was 10. The RGB boxed set is probably the best thing I own on DVD. The effort Time Life put into that is ridiculous.

But again, Turtles has always been about the comics for me, though getting TMNT 1 on Blu-Ray and the Smash Bros. style game are both very, very cool things in my mind.

And you know what that difference is? You'll be able to buy the TMNT 25th anniversary stuff in stores, and not have to go to freaking Mattel.com to get the GB figures. Honestly, I think we're still making out like bandits here. Only problems I see is the cartoon's ending, the comic may end, and no fifth movie is in sight (thanks to Imagi).

GB is done, and has been done since the 90's. Other than a couple comics, the only thing GB fans can look forward to is maybe sorta kinda if the third movie actually happens... then we can sit back, and have them whine about how terrible it was, and how it doesn't hold up to the original.... kinda like what happened to Indiana Jones.

*oldmanwinters* · 02-11-2009, 02:12 PM

I think the fact that we've gotten our first glimpse at new art for the Forever War is a pretty good day for TMNT news!

Murph told me at the show that this was just something he had done up for the show and no way reflects the Forever War comic.

*Ninjinister* · 02-11-2009, 03:15 PM

Any chance of a larger version of that print?

GB fans have the comforting thought that their figures aren't going to suck. I'm still cringing from the sight of Playmates' Mirage Shredder.

Video game.
