**Jester** · 03-12-2012, 03:47 PM

Are we sure the theme won't the original and will be the "new" one on netflix?

Ninja-Gaz · 03-12-2012, 04:00 PM

speaking as a brit who owns the full series on dvd its worth it! ok maybe not as good as the films but its got its own "charm" still a good bit of tmnt history!

I saw an official tweet that confirmed PR is definatly getting a release...and on blu-ray to boot, so it's best to keep the appetite wet

Oh yeah Jeff, it really is such a shame that people give a sh*t about things being released properly. I guess your thread wasn't at all crybabyish.

*Jephael* · 03-12-2012, 04:33 PM

I'm just teasing him, dude. Chill out! I'd love to see every episode of Ninja Turtles ever made released on DVD, but at this point I'm not gonna hold my breath and throw a temper tantrum over it like CyberCubed does every time the subject comes up! And as far as that stupid post I made a couple nights ago is concerned, that was just a stupid mistake I made and from now on I'll keep my personal issues to myself, because clearly this isn't the place for it!

Shout would be the perfect company for proper sets of the 4kids series. The old DVD's are out of print and enough time has passed for the market to be ready for new sets, especially for people who never watched or before or kids who grew up with it.

I am watching the 4kids series right now on DVD and I have to flip between 5 different discs just to watch the next episode in proper order. Plus BTTS and Turtles Forever need a proper release in the US anyway so the whole series was a mess on DVD.

Hopefully this can be corrected in the near future.

LeoNerdo · 03-12-2012, 05:39 PM

sometimes i feel like Shout Factory is marketing this stuff directly at me. i own a ton of stuff they've released to dvd/bluray. don't give two craps about power rangers, but i'll grab TNM. Glad I didn't pull the trigger on the UK sets now

I just got my set of the original 4kids Season 1 & 2 DVDs. What I've noticed is that the "official" order was if you stack the DVDs side-by-side, is Leonardo (corresponds to Season 1, Part 1 on the 2007 release), Raphael (Season 1, Part 2 on the 2007 release), Michelangelo, and Donatello (with carries over into Season 3). The problem is beginning with the Ultimate Ninja DVD (Volume 11), the episodes start to go out of order, and continue through the end of Season 3, thus the confusion. I still feel the display on the side with all the turtles visible is cool.

The Next Mutation shouldn't be that difficult since it was only one season. All it takes is one four-disc set to cover this package for The Next Mutation. However, since The Next Mutation wasn't as popular, it would help if some bonus features in terms of understanding the show's development notes would help. Too bad the lack of Sentai footage wasn't the cause of this show's cancellation.

Correction: The lack of Metal Hero and B-Fighter footage.

I wonder who will acquire the rights to distribute quite possibly the best of the super powered teens fight evil aliens series of the 90's:

Speaking as someone who is finally getting around to acquiring 4Kids Pokemon DVDs, I actually don't mind the piecemeal approach. I currently can't afford the big season-by-season DVD sets. At least, this way, I can just focus on the specific episode sets I want at a reasonable price and work my way with the rest later. Plus, the DVD coding is rather decent when not compressed with one too many episodes. While I would prefer the episodes-by-season format for obvious reasons, the other way isn't so insufferable, either. Admittedly, that is my personal opinion, so take it for what it's worth.

Anyway, Shout Factory is a pretty competent DVD company, so this is good news on many levels. As for NM, I'm glad it's also part of the deal, if only for the sake of completion. I don't recall, but did it ever had a prior home video release?

Also...

Because someone should point that out. Heh.

Shout!'s season, or half season, sets aren't that much more expensive than four episode disks are. Four episode disk volumes are usually about $10 each. I picked up all of the Transformers and G.I. Joe sets, and they were each about $20. So on average, those sets featured about 24 episodes per set. So you could pay $10 for four episodes, or spend an extra $10 for an extra 20 episodes. It's well worth the money.

No, it's reasonable from what I've read. It just depends on how much money that can be spared on hand, what the Suggested Retail Price with each company and other factors. I am opting for more animated fare, these days, anyway, as it is less expensive. (Plus, I want to acquire them before they go out-of-print, and the price really goes up.)

I'm just saying that, personally speaking, the 4Kids way to DVD distribution is not a bad one for me and my interests.

Next Mutation is a pretty bad show but it does have entertainment value. Some parts were actually decent.
